After we started assembling posts featuring the most popular people on Internet Movie Database — including ones featuring natives of Denver, Boulder and Colorado Springs, we couldn’t help noticing an unexpected common denominator: porn. Boulder boasted an adult-film actress in the top ten, the Colorado Springs roster featured a porn…
During the “Heat is On” Labor Day enforcement period, the Colorado Department of Transportation reports 1,342 DUI arrests and nine fatalities thought to be alcohol-related. These numbers represent a reduction from last year — and a CDOT spokeswoman thinks one factor might be “interactive urinal communicators,” aka talking urinal cakes…
A few short weeks ago, a hail storm hammered much of south Jeffco — a freakish occurrence followed by the equally terrifying attack of the hail-storm-chasing roofers. Now it’s your turn, west Denver metro. We’ve collected a slew of videos from the latest example of meteorological mayhem, including a clip…
Earlier today, we told you about an anti-pot-taxation rally to be staged at Civic Center Park. Our Alex Brown checked out the event, bringing back the photos below and lots of colorful information about the gathering. Examples? People started lining up for the no-charge tokes at 8:30 a.m., two-and-a-half hours…
Last week, we published an item about Broncos newspaper fails, in which we highlighted editions of the Denver Post whose early deadlines meant ballyhooing six touchdown passes by Peyton Manning in the NFL season opener when he actually threw seven. The piece raised temperatures among plenty of readers, including this…
Denver blog posts have total recall. Colorado Pols thinks Governor John Hickenlooper’s statement about “disturbing reports” related to recall efforts targeting John Morse and Angela Giron were at least party inspired by a “gypsy vote” courtesy of the Independence Institute’s Jon Caldara. The Ralphie Report’s Jon Woods shares (actual!) highlights…
The decision by the University of Denver to honor former President George W. Bush at a DU fundraiser has been controversial for months. Now, with Bush scheduled to speak at downtown Denver event this evening, a group of concerned students and alumni, among others, are planning a protest and press…
Julius Thomas — he of the arrest for missing a court date — wasn’t the only Denver Bronco to catch two Peyton Manning TD passes in Thursday’s win over the Ravens. Also cashing in a pair of scores (and making up for muffing a punt) was big off-season acquisition Wes…
During the Labor Day enforcement period related to the Colorado Department of Transportation’s “Heat is On” campaign, law enforcers arrested a staggering 1,342 people for impaired driving. Surprisingly, this figure represents a slight improvement over similar stretches in 2011 and 2012. But another number is even more disturbing. At this…
As one of the break-out stars in the Broncos victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, tight end Julius Thomas, who caught two of QB Peyton Manning’s amazing seven touchdown passes, is getting more attention than ever. Hence his appearance on tonight’s edition of CBS4’s Xfinity Monday Live alongside host…
In recent days, we’ve shared top ten lists of the most popular Denver natives on Internet Movie Database and the most popular Boulderites on IMDB — a pair of rosters that were full of surprises. The same is true of today’s list, featuring the ten most popular people from Colorado…
Miguel Lopez, organizer of the annual 4/20 rally at Civic Center Park, has obtained a permit to stage what’s described in a press release as a “‘No on Proposition AA’ Campaign” to fight against a proposed state tax on recreational marijuana — one that could be as high as 30…
In the public relations battle over the proliferation of guns in this country, Second Amendment supporters share stories about weaponry that prevented crime, while firearms-control advocates counter with examples of tragic shootings that often take place by accident. Falling into the latter category is a terrible incident that took place…
Unfortunately, our post about the horrific assault on Jared Olson, who says he was a victim of an anti-gay hate crime, inspired some homophobic commentary amid the support. The response to one negative post, from another victim of such an attack, contains both welcome defiance and an unsettling contention…
Denver blog posts don’t like being caught in the middle. Mile High Mamas’ Lisa Vratny-Smith on managing marital strife with a preschooler in the midst. Denver Egotist: Boulder’s Greenhouse Partners shows off “something extraordinary” at CU. Denver PR Blog on 7News’ addition of ex-Amazing Race contestant Kellie Patterson as a…
Thirteen-year-old Reysean Abram, who was shot to death while riding his bike, wasn’t the only homicide victim in the metro area over the long Labor Day weekend. Also killed was Jose Gutierrez-Peredia, 25. And while police haven’t made an arrest yet in the case (unlike the Abram slaying), investigators are…
Particularly during dark times (like the Josh McDaniels era), Broncos fans have been accused of living in the past. But that’s nothing compared to the guy who wrote the headline for a story about last night’s Broncos’ win over the Ravens for the Columbus Dispatch. Rather than applauding Peyton Manning…
On his website, Jason Roberson, a Christian musician, public speaker and former youth pastor at Longmont’s VineLife Church, describes himself as “son, husband, and father. I love the songs and sounds that unveil the heart of God in his people.” Something he presumably enjoys less is notoriety that comes with…
Yesterday, when we shared our list of the ten most popular Denver natives on Internet Movie Database, we marveled at the surprises — notables we didn’t know hailed from here or hadn’t heard of, period. Well, the ten most popular people born in Boulder as judged by IMDB are even…
Earlier this week, we gave you twenty reasons to take part in the Denver Cruisers’ Mascots and Major League ride, and plenty of folks did so — just as they have for 2013 themes such as the Woodstock ride, County Fair, Dress Night, Tourist Night, Where the Bleep is Waldo?,…
As a lifelong Broncos fan, I am typically paranoid as hell about the team — fearful that the brighter the spotlight, the more likely the squad is to screw up in it for all the world to see. And there were certainly some ugly moments during last night’s kickoff to…
Our post about the tragic death of Jenny Kush, a cannabis-scene star killed after the car in which she was riding was struck by an alleged drunk driver heading the wrong way in the HOV lane inspired many heartfelt comments. But one stands out — a raw, emotional post from…
