So I know I went on a mini-rant about all the “sexy” Halloween costumes out there the other day.. But there is a time and place for everything, and it sounds like the Scandalous Couture Tricks and Beats Benefit would be the perfect place to break out your Hot look for Halloween (A kiddie [ READ MORE ]
Halloween!!! It’s getting close, and just the thing to take my tender brain off the constant drone of election worries. So tell me, Denverites, what might your costumes be? I think I’m going to wrap myself in a bunch of tubes and go as “Teh Internets” in honor of Ted Steven’s sentencing. I [ READ MORE ]
Corn mazes are one of the best things about the Halloween season, I strongly feel. They’re outdoors, full of corn, and if it’s the haunted variety, you get to run scared through mud. Why do I enjoy this rushing through squishy mud? Don’t know, but I love it so very, very much. I’ve [ READ MORE ]

Broncos cheerleaders and former athletes from Denver [ READ MORE ]
One of my favorite Simpsons episodes is the one in which Homer meets “Michael Jackson” in the insane asylum, and Bart, without knowing that it’s not the real MJ invites everyone over. The town is disapointed, but everything turns out happy for the Simpsons and the MJ impersonator in the end. And lots [ READ MORE ]
So tonight is the final debate, right? I have yet to hear of a good place to watch the action. Any ideas? [ READ MORE ]
One of the most disturbing scenes from any movie was the end of the old classic “Freaks,” in which a gold digging woman is set upon by a carnival side-show staff as they chant “one of us.” It was a great moment in cult cinema. On October 18th, Buffalo Exchange will be [ READ MORE ]
So the birthday weekend was, as I could have told you, midly sedate and infinitely pleasant- it was nice to take ‘er easy. However, I did stop loafing about long enough on Sunday to ring a few folks and head over to Charlie’s on Colfax to see the Vivid Drag Queens. As previously [ READ MORE ]
Darn it, I’ve done it again! Left all the birthday planning til the last minute. So if anyone has ideas, I’m all ears (although I have some dental appointments this week and next Monday, so I won’t be all teeth. Maybe celebrating with a swollen jaw is a bad idea.) I’m blaming my failure to [ READ MORE ]
Losses and love have existed throughout the history of humans, and sadly, so has war. Examining the life of a young man as he remembers a life lived during the Vietnam era, his life becomes a powerful example of how war can alter and even destroy an individual and a family. First produced in 1967 [ READ MORE ]
Tonight, as with every Monday, is the glorious Bingo at Soutnik. Hosted by the lovely Brandi Shigley of Fashion Denver and bands b.sous and Chewbacca Bukkake fame, there’s plenty of great prizes as well as some cash to be had. Tonight, prizes will include tickets to Rosehill Drive and the Silver Jews, both concerts at [ READ MORE ]
Remember pogs? If you were in grade school or middle school in the early 90s, you undoubtably had some favorite pogs or at least had a best friend who would let you borrow a slammer every now and again. Of course you also remember the cruelty of the schools who deprived us of our pogs, [ READ MORE ]
So, my birthday (known to me and really me only as Megsmas) is coming up. It’s October 4, just close enough that I really should have thought of something by now. I do this every year- extravagant plans in my little brain combine with my crippling procrastination, and I end up forgetting to plan [ READ MORE ]
I was a Fort Collins denzien for many a year before relocating here to the more urban metropolis. The FTC had a lot of great things going for it, including a number of entertaining and highly local public fairs. The Sustainable Living Fair was one I always looked forward to every year.

The lovely Ms. Tara celebrated her birthday at Falling Rock the other day, and we managed to fill up the entire basement for fun. [ READ MORE ]
“Mmmmm…. pie…” I’m a sap for the sweetly bizarre little show “Pushing Daisies” on ABC, and have long fantasized about both the lead actor Lee Pace and the delicious looking pies he bakes on the show. Now, I can actually, truly have a taste of one of these things! Sadly, it’s not Lee [ READ MORE ]
When I think of “Wildlife Experience,” I don’t automatically think of martinis, movies, and Marlon Brando. (OK, maybe Brando, but that’s more of an “Island of Dr. Moreau” context…) But the Wildlife Experience in Parker might just change those associations. For its “Martini and a Movie” night, the experiential exhibition center will be [ READ MORE ]
September 6th through the 12th, eateries in the Denver Independent Network of Restaurants are celebrating the bounty of Colorado with their Harvest Week menues. Celebrating the local delicacies of the Colorado area isn’t just a culinary saulte to Colorado’s fresh produce and products, but also an environmentally friendly way to chow down. Getting the [ READ MORE ]
So the convention is over, and, like a child after Christmas, I’m all sleepy and a little sad. Denver was like the most popular kid in school for those few precious days, but we tripped in the hallway or our gym shorts split during class and now we have to sit at the nerd [ READ MORE ]
Last night, dialog:city hosted Ann Hamilton’s work “O.” A participatory event that took place on the steps of the Performing Arts Complex, we were all given handouts with a script, with several different parts (We were “part A” for example.) Choirs of adults and children lined the winding stairs of the Complex, waving signs [ READ MORE ]

Ah, Downtown! How lovely you look this fine convention morning. So I’m sitting at my desk down on Stout Street, trying to get things done but distracted by the constant thoughts of what I might be missing out in the streets. Currently, the mood is slightly quiet and the buses seemed about as packed [ READ MORE ]
So I’ve been swept up in the pre-convention angst and excitement already… I’ll be keeping track of fun stuff going on all week and other important stuff we should all turn out for. Last night started off things right with Political Karaoke at the Supreme Court bar downtown. Folks took up the mike to deliver some [ READ MORE ]
