On a typical weekday, Roy Dockery can be found inside a wide, one-story brick building in a northeast Denver industrial park. The corporate setup appears to be modeled after an advertisement in an office-supply catalogue, with high-walled cubicles forming a maze across the center floor and a few closed-door offices...

In December 2014, we told you about a lawsuit in which the states of Nebraska and Oklahoma asked the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down Amendment 64, the 2012 measure that legalized limited recreational marijuana sales in Colorado. Our headline: "NEBRASKA AND OKLAHOMA TO COLORADANS WHO VOTED FOR AMENDMENT 64:...
It's the time of year for eggnog, present wrapping and terrible, awful, no-good bullshit Christmas movies. Seriously, is there any holiday more beleaguered by cheesy garbage than Christmas? While yes, there are gems that balance the sentiment with a good story, a little edge and maybe some laughs, most fall...
Once again, the Colorado Theatre Guild has announced the winners of the Henrys — Colorado’s equivalent of the Tony Awards — and once again the results announced last night are difficult to figure out. As before, there are a lot of wins for the Denver Center Theatre Company and not...
Over the past year or so, we've shared a disheartening number of stories about inmates who've died in a variety of jails due to allegedly substandard medical care. In June 2014, we told you about Christopher Lopez, whose jailers at the San Carlos Correctional Facility in Pueblo joked and laughed as he...
In the mid-2000s, during the height of Denver’s indie-rock era, the members of Somerset Catalog were in some of the city’s more prominent bands.

Everyone knows that the Molly Brown House is a historic landmark in Denver: In fact, the fight to save the Victorian structure from demolition led to the creation of Historic Denver in 1970. But just because a building is old doesn't mean it's an official historic landmark in this city;...
February is our month for love in all of its syrupy forms — and our list of cinematic valentines is packed tighter than a chocolate box. Though lacking in stories actually about love, each one of these movies is perfect for a date or a solo outing that might lead...
Remember when marijuana was still illegal? We barely do. Westword's coverage of the Colorado cannabis scene has taken readers through the legislation that first made medical marijuana legal through the early days of unregulated chaos to full legalization and into 2015's quirky, but ever-maturing industry. Some older issues, like edibles packaging,...
In the fall of 2008, Denver band Dressy Bessy set out on tour to support its fifth album, Holler and Stomp. Shortly after the tour began, the U.S. economy collapsed. The group was suddenly paying four dollars a gallon for gas to drive to empty venues and play to a...
In August, we told you about Go Topless Fort Collins, a "Free the Nipple" campaign to goad the Fort Collins City Council into removing the line "the breast or breasts of a female" from its public-indecency ordinance. Then, earlier this month, we updated you on a public survey about the...
When High Five came together in 2012, the collective comprised solo artists who pooled their talents and resources in order to create something bigger than their individual efforts — a creative model not unlike that of Minneapolis’s Doomtree. “That’s a very similar format to what we have in that they’re...

Psychodelic Zombiez were one of the most popular and beloved bands in Denver in the 1990s. Its blend of funk, punk and Danny Elfman-esque strangeness early on set it apart from many other bands of its day. Its rowdy antics on- and off-stage garnered the band a bit of a...
In recent weeks, we've reported about numerous high-profile crimes on the 16th Street Mall. Included among them — a beating by a group of teens, a stabbing and the arrest of Jerry Odell, who allegedly committed four sexual assaults within minutes of each other. Now comes word of another sex assault...
February is here, which means a societally obligated focus on all things love for the next two weeks! Don't worry, though — apart from a couple of carefully curated selections, this month's list of geek events will barely register the existence of Valentine's Day. Instead, our focus — as always...
We love Ranker, since, as the website's name implies, it ranks just about anything and everything. Moreover, the results are often surprising, as seen in our previous roundups of the ten most famous attendees of CSU and the University of Denver. That definitely proved the case with the site's list...
The mystery has lingered for more than a year — and its resolution is an ineffably sad one. Jack McAtee, a man from the St. Louis area who was living in Breckenridge, vanished after a leaving a Frisco medical facility following a strange accident more than a year ago. Now,...
Dreadnought, the local psychedelic, progressive-doom band, defies many stereotypes about what metal is and can be. The act is half-male and half-female, and its members take on non-traditional roles. Kelly Schilling plays guitar and does harsh and clean vocals; Lauren Vieira plays keyboards and does clean vocals; Jordan Clancy plays drums...

Cobbler's Corner, a historic building at the corner of 44th Avenue and Alcott Street in Sunnyside, has been getting a major makeover this year thanks to co-owner Jack Pottle and restaurant and real-estate developer Paul Tamburello.

A few weeks back, we told you about major changes to panhandling enforcement in numerous Colorado cities after a judge in a Grand Junction case threw out that many of that community's restrictions on solicitation.
