Over the years, the red carpet at the Denver Film Festival has been graced by plenty of terrific cinematic artists but relatively few mega-stars. So why was the crowd hugging the rug prior to last night's kickoff of the fest's 39th edition roughly five times the usual size? Two words:...
“Death takes a holiday” is one of those wise, cynical, darkly funny old-European concepts that should yield rich fictional results, both comic and philosophical. The idea, which got its start in a 1924 play by Italian Alberto Casella, is that Death decides to take a break from collecting souls to...
He co-founded one of the first dispensaries in Denver and, earlier this month, he sold it to Willie Nelson for his Willie's Reserve operation. Now Kayvan Khalatbari, who was featured in our January 2, 2014, roundup of leading ganjapreneurs, is looking ahead to other ways he can contribute to Denver's...
For years, the mansion-turned-restaurant at 1446 South Broadway has been packed with antiques and decorated in a hodgepodge style somewhere between classic and classy, first as the Black Crown and then as the Crown Social. But the Crown Social was evicted in the spring, and with it went all of...

In his wheelchair, Hasan Jones rolled into the courtroom for his sentencing hearing Thursday, August 18, for the death of two-year-old Ny’ari Hines. The hearing at Arapahoe District Court finalized a plea deal that avoided a child abuse trial that neither hardened gangbangers nor hardened prosecutors seemed to have the stomach...
It's rare for a franchise, especially in the horror genre, to actually get better as it progresses — doubly so if the final part of said progression is a TV series. Yet in six-part miniseries form, currently airing on the you-didn't-know-you-had-it Pop network following a broadcast in Australia earlier this...

The cheery husband-and-wife team that runs Kingman Estates Winery can't stop smiling; after all, they just won two gold metals during the third annual Governor's Cup Colorado Wine Competition in July. To add to the glory, their 2013 cabernet sauvignon was also chosen as one of the twelve wines to grace...
After a wow of an opening night (including an appearance by megastar Emma Stone), the 39th annual Denver Film Festival got down to the business of screening films — some big, some small, some in-between. And while the star wattage was dialed down in the wake of La La Land,...
It’s easy to like Todd Usry, Garrett Wales and Meg Gill. All three are smart, approachable and passionate about beer. They all have a good sense of humor and firm handshakes.

Last night, the forecast of "light rain" left out the bit about two full hours of torrential rain, mild flooding, and seriously limited visibility issues on the roads. Driving through these conditions to get to Red Rocks either inspired a bit of foolhardy bravado or the urge to turn back...
Ken Salazar, a former Colorado Senator and Secretary of the Interior under President Barack Obama, has revealed that he will not run for governor in 2018. This announcement would seem to be good news for Mike Johnston, a former state senator who is currently the best known Democrat to have announced his gubernatorial candidacy. But Johnston's response to the development is more about saluting Salazar than celebrating this turn of events.

No: 66: The Classic Burger from Skirted Heifer Occasionally we like to get out of town on the weekend and search for good eats in nearby locales. Colorado Springs may be better known for its military bases and right-wing politics than for its culinary scene, but there's plenty happening of...
On August 5, 2015, three million gallons of toxic mine-mustard were released into the headwaters of Colorado’s Animas River, wreaking havoc on the natural ecosystem from Silverton down to Durango and beyond.

In late 2015, as we've reported, Grand Junction's Sydney White was sentenced to thirty years behind bars related to the death of Angel Place, an eleven-month-old in her care. Prosecutors said Angel died after White kicked her in the head. “I did a horrible thing that I am not proud of,” she...
It startled the shit out of me. During rush hour last week, when I saw a reasonable gap between moving cars, I came from Jewell Avenue, crossed southbound traffic and turned into the northbound lane of Logan Street.
