If you've never been to the Colorado State Fair, it's time. And if you go every year, it's time to start planning the annual trek to Pueblo, which still hosts the Fair despite occasional attempts to move it. (Extra points if you pronounce the city's nam properly: Pee-EBB-low!) Why? First...
A church service is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. on the first Friday of October at Church in the City-Beth Abraham, at the corner of Gaylord Street and 16th Avenue, and about forty worshippers have gathered in the main sanctuary. But this will not be a traditional church service...

The Phuket at Fuel Inspiration often comes from the unlikeliest of places. For Jaci Hernandez, it happened on a vacation to Mexico. In early June, the bar manager at Fuel Cafe left Denver for a friend’s wedding in Puerto Morales, near Cancun. The idea for her newest cocktail didn’t actually...
Sometimes a geographical change is necessary for a band to find its own path. For Cassie McNeil and James Wayne, the Pacific Northwest felt like the right part of the country to re-root the duo’s work as Force Publique. Both musicians grew up in different parts of Colorado, eventually landing...

New York has often been the setting for films about heroin addicts, with titles ranging from Shirley Clarke’s cinéma-vérité-tweaking The Connection (1961) to Slava Tsukerman’s new-wave cult classic Liquid Sky (1982) mining the drama of smack freaks tying off, shooting up and nodding out. But Josh and Benny Safdie’s tough,...
Perhaps the most unusual act of this past weekend's Underground Music Showcase was Magic Sword. This mysterious trio hails from Boise, Idaho and the two musicians perform incognito while a third member handles the projections in a way that is far from obvious. “I try to set up in a way...

Will and Coral Frischkorn opened Cured in 2011 with two ideas in mind for their business. The first was that “we wanted a place with what we eat for dinner six nights a week,” says Will. The second was simply this: “Passion.” Four years later, those two ideas have produced...
At least once a week, someone squeals to me that they love tiny homes. There are a lot of tiny home fans out there, along with tiny house television shows (none of which I’ve watched), movies and blogs. The zeitgeist is here. Which is why over 10,000 people registered for...
Restaurateur Alan Zizmor closed Hideaway Kitchen & Bar in Genesee last winter for a makeover, reopening in April with not just a new look, but also a new chef: the young but seasoned Nick Shankland. The chef, who has done time in some of Denver’s top kitchens, quickly installed a...
The swirling winds along South Broadway, which splits Denver in half, carry with them a lot of what makes up the city’s past and present, its culture and its vibe. The aromas of street tacos and marijuana float on those winds, as do the sounds of local bands, light rail...
The Seattle-based rock band Chastity Belt made its second Denver appearance at Dryer Plug Studios over the weekend. (The first was in 2013, when the group played with Pony Time at Rhinoceropolis.)

Kenny Knight is a 62-year-old Parker man who put out a country/psych-rock album called Crossroads in 1980. It was not a success, and disappeared into obscurity until it was discovered by a record collector earlier this year. Now, Crossroads is the subject of glowing reviews in national music publications like...
A jury deliberated less than an hour last Thursday following a three-day trial in Denver District Court, and afterward, Hasan Jones was acquitted in a drive-by shooting case. But that doesn't mean he's the man shot almost two years ago by gang member turned anti-gang activist (and Westword cover-story subject) Terrance...
As we've reported, there have been plenty of police shootings in Colorado of late. Indeed, there was one at 3:20 p.m. yesterday on the 111000 block of Huron Street, when an officer with the Northglenn Police Department shot a man who allegedly had opened fire on cops responding to a...
