Back in the day, the Bad Brains famously announced that they “Pay to Cum” — but who paid to come and see them during a rare live appearance at Summit Music Hall. The answers are in a new slideshow — and there’s more memorable imagery on view, too. Check out…
After the Nuggets failed a game-two gut-check against the OKC Thunder, I wrote that Denver needed to make a statement in the next matchup to have any chance to win the playoffs series. Well, the Nugs did so in Saturday’s 97-94 loss, all right. They let everyone know they’re not…
This past week, Denver played host to the annual conference of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. On Friday, I was part of a panel discussion at which NORML presented its Hunter S. Thompson Media award to “Denver Westworld” — which is close, but no herbally…
Barring a last-minute deal, attorneys will be picking a jury Monday morning in Denver District Court to decide the fate of Keenu Tiyme — more than two-and-a-half years after the body piercer was arrested and charged with the gruesome death of his ex-wife, 39-year-old tattoo artist Kauri Tiyme, in what…
Jesse Hodgson, a former firefighter for Mountain View Fire Rescue in Longmont, will have to register as a sex offender. The 37-year-old has pleaded guilty to instructing his 11-year-old stepdaughter to wear an adult diaper as punishment. Authorities say he also asked her to watch him urinate in his own…
End the work week with these Denver blog posts. Elephant Journal’s Anna Brones on how to rate the sexiness of bikes and the people who ride them. Purple Row’s Andrew T. Fisher on the Dodgers’ dilemma. Colorado Pols: Undocumented workers help the state’s economy, no matter what Kevin Lundberg says…
Light-rail trains need to stay on a schedule — so it’s understandable that sometimes conductors must close the doors and take off even when they can see someone rushing toward an entrance. Besides, how often does that really happen? Very often, according to a recently posted video on view below,…
I’m a Colorado native, so I feel I have the right to say this: John Denver’s music sucks. It blows. It sucks and blows at the same time, which should be impossible but somehow isn’t. Even covers of his music suck, unless it’s Toots and the Maytals’ version of “Take…
Ballots for the 2011 General Municipal Election were mailed out to voters late last week. With nine candidates running for Denver mayor, voters will need to keep a “cheat sheet” handy. My Speed Candidating profiles cut through the political rhetoric to reveal the risk and return spectrum of each candidate…

Journalists love when blog comments include new info about the story, as was the case with a post about 5280 purchasing Denver Magazine’s assets. Turns out that Denver mag issued a press release announcing the departure of its longtime sales manager shortly before pulling the plug. Connection? Read on…
Update: The evacuation of Stony Creek Elementary yesterday hot on the heels of a bomb threat at nearby Southwest Plaza mall on the twelfth anniversary of the Columbine shootings rattled plenty of nerves among residents and locked-down students at area schools — yet the Jeffco Sheriff’s office determined nothing criminal…
Alec Burks was one big reason why the CU Buffs basketball team had such a special season — but he won’t be around as the team tries to improve on its semi-finals loss in the NIT tournament last month. Yesterday, he declared for the NBA draft. But while he’s likely…
Opponents of a bill to set THC driving limits got a big boost after a blood test of Westword medical marijuana critic William Breathes showed he was nearly three times over the proposed limit when sober. But while the legislation has been put on hold, it’s not dead — and…
Nuggets fans have marveled at J.R. Smith’s behavior since the Carmelo Anthony trade. Everything about him — his attitude, his demeanor on and off the court, his shot selection — seemed so much more mature that the idea of re-signing him after the season didn’t seem like such a crap…
The Denver mayor and City Council hand out an honorary proclamations nearly everyday. Organizations as varied as martial arts dojos and garden clubs are honored for their unique contributions to the city. It seems only fitting that NORML, a marijuana legalization group holding its convention in Denver today, should get…
There are two versions of Christian Laswell’s story, his lawyer said in court this morning. In one version, the 29-year-old seen here is a pimp of several women, including a seventeen-year-old girl and his sister, nineteen-year-old Theresa Laswell. In another version offered by his lawyer, he’s a college student who…
The Rockies came into their three game series against the San Francisco Giants with the best record in the league. And then the defending World Series Champions performed the baseball equivalent of telling the Rocks, “We don’t give a shit.”…
Amid mounting evidence of wild horses being mistreated during government roundups and suffering in poorly tended holding facilities, a federal judge in California is allowing a key legal challenge by horse advocates to move forward — one that could end up ordering captured horses released back to the open range…
We decided to give these three Denver blog posts a loving home right here. Bronco Talk’s Jon offers his take on John Elway’s claim that the Broncos’ phone isn’t ringing off the hook about a trade for the draft’s number two pick. Not that he’d tell you if it had…
William Breathes’s 4/20 week medical marijuana dispensary review is a colorful one: Verde Wellness Center. But there’s plenty more shades of green available in our newly updated MMJ listings. Click here to access our medical-marijuana dispensary directory…
I like things verde. Salsa verde on a breakfast burrito makes life better and Mesa Verde National Park is one of earth’s most beautiful places. And last week, I found plenty of my favorite kind of verde at another verde to like: Verde Wellness Center…
