The 32nd annual Craft Brewers Conference just wrapped up, and if things seemed a little quieter in Denver last weekend, that was because hundreds of local brewery-industry folks were in Portland, Oregon, to participate in the trade show. At the CBC, OvalOptions for Conflict Management, a Denver firm, announced that...

Melissa Boyd had quite an evening of it this past Saturday. She was busted after a crash in which she's alleged to have drunkenly hit and run -- and shortly thereafter, authorities learned she'd left her eleven-month-old baby home alone while she did it. Continue for photos, video and details...
Whenever there's a homicide related to marijuana, critics frequently use it as an example of how pot legalization leads to crime. This case will be more difficult to make when it comes to Lucas Johnson. The man accused of killing Edward Zimmerman, reportedly a marijuana grower in Routt County, has...
Nederland's Cody Cox was already known to local law enforcement when a Clear Creek County Deputy tried to pull him over just under a year ago -- and Cox ultimately led him and a colleague on a mini-chase of sorts. But did that mean his subsequent shooting, which left him...
Last November, when we introduced you to Gordon Klingenschmitt, the exorcism-doing, gay-slammer who'd just been elected as a state representative, he was already a darling of the progressive media types. From their perspective, he was the walking, talking embodiment of ultra-conservatism's worst tendencies — and one with the potential of...

It really does take many kinds of people to make a world, some good, some bad. And then there's the really bad, and the ugly. And now that Coachella is upon us once again, we're reminded of the ugliest types of people to be stuck in a blazing desert with,...
Some years ago, I went to see Tom Jones perform. He sang all the hits, but I was unnerved by his new walnut-brown goatee. It looked freshly trimmed and fake, like he’d ripped it off Evil Spock backstage. Superstars aren’t allowed to change. Even the fans who love them insist...
HuHot Mongolian Barbecue, already with several locations in the Denver area, is launching its fast-casual concept, NuHu Mongolian Express, starting tomorrow at 11 a.m. in the Golden Triangle. With a menu of six signature bowls, three style of noodles, rice, a wide variety of fresh vegetables and eight sauces, chief...
On my birthday this week, someone threw a rock through Tiny’s largest window. The rock, only about two and a half inches across, went through both panes and bounced off the opposite wall twenty feet away, leaving a constellation of sparkling glass shards and a disappointing comment on humanity. I...
Since retiring from the U.S. Supreme Court back in 2006, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has been promoting civics education. To honor others who have the same goal, the National Center for State Courts presents the Sandra Day O'Connor Award for the Advancement of Civics Education annually. This year the winner...
Spring is almost here, and local productions are blooming on stages across town. We even have two versions of Cock, one at Avenue Theatre and one at Edge, reviewed below. Keep reading for capsule reviews of five current productions, including Big Fish, which closes on Sunday. A Public Reading of...

I really know very little about Korean cuisine. I've had Korean barbecue and bibimbap and a few other iconic dishes, and I've pulled off David Chang's recipe for bo ssam (a roasted pork shoulder dish that's excellent for dinner parties) from his Monofuku cookbook. But when it comes to the...
Time flies when you’re having fun. Time flies even faster when you’re half-baked and have the greatest job in the world. But after five and a half years as the country’s first cannabis critic for the mainstream (sort of) media, I’m ready to slow things down. So I’ve decided to...
Our Cannabis Time Capsule excavations first uncovered Maltos-Cannabis marijuana-infused Swedish medicinal treats a few years back, in an 1897 advertisement in the Svensk Amerkanska, a Denver paper for Swedish-speaking immigrants. Now, we've dug up another reference, this time in an actual article from 1895 in the same paper. It seems...
While limited recreational marijuana sales are legal in Colorado, smoking in public is not -- an untenable situation according to cannabis advocates such as NORML's Allen St. Pierre. The result has been an enormous increase in public-consumption citations, which have reportedly risen in Denver by an astonishing 471 percent from...
Since the legalization of limited marijuana sales in Colorado launched in January 2014, there's been lots of debate among experts about the risks of stoned driving, as well as dueling statistics aplenty. Note that one report that claimed legalization hadn't caused an increase in highway fatalities, while another maintained that...

This week, a U.S. District jury awarded $2.2 million in damages in the case of a special-needs child who attended Bessemer Academy in Pueblo as a kindergartner. The complaint is based on the staff's decision to keep the child, then a kindergartner, in what's referred to in court papers as...
It was back in 1998 that Denver’s flea-market renaissance began with the Ballpark Market, which brought its European-style ambience to Larimer Street near Coors Field. Since then, we’ve had markets hawking antiques and geegaws under viaducts and car-boot sales in parking lots and, eventually, a new, tenacious brand of flea...
The Colorado Supreme Court sided with the Colorado Department of Corrections this week in squelching a long-simmering, convoluted debate over whether the state isn't properly calculating credits that take time off inmates' sentences. It's a decision that reinforces the status quo, saves one of the state's largest bureaucracies from untold...
Some films are simply better on the big screen. You can certainly admire the craft of 2001: A Space Odyssey on a 22" computer monitor and the pair of tinny speakers that came with your circa-1995 soundcard, but you're not going to feel the impact of the movie that way...
