Denver-based Omerica Organic is all about the O’s. And at least among the growing circle of body-art inclined folks cultivating stretched holes in their ear lobes, it’s becoming the go-to place online to buy the body jewelry needed to do it. Made from beautiful hand-finished hardwoods that are decorated with…
Danny Newman is pretty confident Denver will become zombie capital of the world. No, he’s not predicting an outbreak of a government-created virus that turns the populous into shambling (or running, whichever you prefer), flesh-craving monsters, but he does think that this past weekend’s “Zombie Walk” on the 16th Street…
Glorg is a simple game with no pretenses at being something bigger. In fact, it’s so simple you can play the thing and eat a sandwich at the same time, which is pretty much our ideal lunch break. If you’ve played the likes of Diablo and its kin, you’ll see…
Sure, this guy’s yelling and off-beat drum-hitting is annoying, but does the passerby in flip-flops really need to take it upon himself to yell “shut the fuck up!” at him? No. At any rate, that’s just one of the Youtube Zombie Crawl videos (see our full 2010 Denver Zombie Crawl…
Break out your tuxes, ball gowns and best kicks: DJ MU$A, Nike and the sneaker pimps behind Installation Shoe Gallery are pimpin’ their 2nd annual Sneaker Prom and crowning a Sneaker King and Sneaker Queen tonight — and that’s just the “kick”off (Editor’s note: That pun was all me). “We’re…
Update: 5:32 p.m. This contest didn’t have as large of a participation level as our past giveaways, but Show and Tell readers proved themselves horror experts here. Great responses. Here are our top five comments:…
Look, we’re just as sick of zombie games as you are, which means they really need to step it up a notch to impress us. Thankfully, Road of the Dead does just that. It also has the benefit of playing exactly like the Super Nintendo game Outlander, which for whatever…
We’re inside two weeks until Halloween. Have you been to any haunted attractions yet? No? Well here’s a preview of the Field of Corpses in Arvada, shot by resident haunted house fanatic Aaron Thackeray. We’re going to nail a contest to the bloody corpse of this blog post…
From 8 p.m. to midnight on Friday at Hinterland, 3254 Walnut Street, fans of Denver’s fans of Harajuku fashion got together in the same room for a party put on by Gimme Gimme Pillow Toast. Photos by Kate Levy. Below are a few highlights (see the full Harajuku Street Fashion…
Films in three dimensions have come a long way since the anaglyph red/blue paper glasses of the 1950s: Now we have polarization systems (“RealD”), eclipse methods and much more to provide the illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimension screen. As we reported in an IMAX 3D Night&Day piece in…
Lynne Bruning is, hands down, one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. She’s one of those brainiacs who seem to be thinking so fast that the words can’t keep up. In truth, Lynne, a fashion designer who interweaves computer technology into “groovalicious” wearable artworks, camps out rather than…
Because we at Show and Tell are secretly sadists, when it came time to feature some Denver haunted houses for Halloween, we sent out the reporter most terrified of them to do it. This week found Maggie Moody loitering around the parking lot of The Asylum — and chickening out…
Some of us were fortunate enough to have parents cool enough to buy us all the Super Mario and Sonic games we needed. Others weren’t so lucky. These poor souls were stuck with third-rate, non-licensed Christian games like Bible Adventures and Sunday Funday. Fortunately, even those of us that missed…
Even though the Day of the Dead is not until November 2, Vain Salon got the season started on Saturday night with work by 25 local artists, music, drinks, face paint and incredible hair. See the full slideshow here: Dia De los Muertos at Vain Salon…
We’ve been getting so ahead of ourselves looking ahead to ski and snowboard season with all the recent ski porn premieres, we nearly forgot to mention that this weekend is your last opportunity in 2010 to inhale nitro fumes, soak up the sounds of tires screeching rubber all over the…
Andrew Novick is known in this town for many singular reasons — a big one being his artfully out-of-control need to collect things, any things, nay, all things, and another his involvement with the legendary band the Warlock Pinchers — but his spot-on fashion sense is probably not one of…
Do you like words? What about word games? If just thinking about Scrabble makes you hot, you might want to check out our browser game of the week, Word Bubbles. It doesn’t have anything to do with Scrabble or words inside bubbles, but it is a word game that gives…
Last week, we told you about MaryJanice Davidson’s new Me, Myself and Why? a veer into left field from an author noted for veering into left field. The self-proclaimed “inventor of paranormal chick-lit,” Davidson made her name with her Undead and Unwed series about a vampire who’s also into shopping…
Project Runway contestant Mondo Guerra — read our feature story on Mondo — hosted a silent auction for the Colorado AIDS Project and Rainbow Alley at Beauty Bar last night, September 30, in conjunction with the weekly Project Runway viewing party. View these photos by Kate Levy: Project Runway at…
Talk about a coup! Somehow, we landed an exclusive video clip of the National Geographic pirates exhibit hitting the Denver Museum of Nature & Science next March. From the looks of it, the show’s going to be all sorts of awesome, with special effects that will make Avatar look like…
Samuel Schimek is one of the enterprising Denver designers behind YesPleaseMore, a Create Denver-sponsored temporary retail store that boosts local products. From those wicked-cute Horndribbles plushies to Rick Griffin’s Matterial letterpress stationery, the reasonably priced merchandise in the recurring shop is 100 percent created by Colorado artists and designers. There’s…
