Animals occupy a unique place in the law. For the most part, they’re considered property. Your cat? He’s not much different than your couch. That elephant? Might as well be a microwave. At the same time, however, the law recognizes that Fido is not the same as a Frigidaire. Animal cruelty...
The CoteryDesigner, community builder and Westword MasterMind Tricia Hoke teamed up with her tech-savvy entrepreneurial partner, Charlotte Genevier, to hatch a plan for putting Denver designers on the map without sucking up their limited cash flow.

With hundreds of craft breweries already pouring beer in Colorado and dozens of new operations planning to open, it’s important for each one to find a way to stand out. “Everybody is always trying to do something different,” says attorney Robert Runco, who specializes in liquor laws. But “something different” can...
Though its obituary was written a generation ago, abstraction is back with a vengeance in contemporary art. This week, I’ll look at a set of four solos and a small group effort at Robischon Gallery, along with a super-simpatico solo at Rule Gallery. The festivities at Robischon begin with Don...
The assertions made against Lynn Young in an arrest affidavit shared here are disturbing enough. They detail injuries suffered by Aaron Young, her seven-week-old baby, including a skull fracture and a broken femur, that prosecutors believe constitute child abuse. But the allegations against Young are even more troubling in light...
Big is in when it comes to new restaurants. If 2014 was the year of the tiny restaurant — with the likes To the Wind Bistro, Bistro Barbes, Cart-Driver and Work & Class wedging customers into every nook and cranny — then 2015 is the year to go big or...
In the world of Internet shorthand, "OMG" is a benign expression of surprise. But to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the initials stand for "Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs." And a report entitled "OMGs and the Military 2014," on view below, argues that such groups are actively recruiting current...
This is the second time in two years I’ve watched actor Geoffrey Kent walk away with a production in which he’s not actually the lead. Last year his Hotspur stole every scene of Henry IV, Part One that he entered. Now Kent is playing Iago in the Colorado Shakespeare Festival’s...

Dear Mexican: From what I’ve seen and heard, Mexicans are very family-oriented. They take the names of their mothers and fathers, live with extended family, take carpooling to the nth degree, and tattoo the names of their children across their bodies. We recently had a party and invited one of...
Ian Cooke pauses and chuckles when asked where his musical career might be right now if he had never met friend and longtime collaborator Ian O’Dougherty. “I think I may have gone to California and tried to score films,” he guesses. “Singing and songwriting was always something I was planning...
When six Denver-based marijuana growing operations had portions of crops quarantined and put under investigation for using harmful pesticides on plants, many marijuana consumers became a little more paranoid about which dispensaries to visit. In documents obtained by the Cannabis Consumers Coalition via the Colorado Open Records Act and sent...
The nightly rain of the past month in Denver spared the Violent Femmes at Red Rocks. When Colin Hay opened the show, there was a sprinkling, but it went away quickly and a patchwork of clouds in the sky that promised a potential downpour that never really arrived. As evening...
Last night, California-based Mercy for Animals released a video shot at Cactus Acres Holsteins in Fort Morgan. The clip, on view below, shows Cactus Acres workers beating and even stabbing dairy cows. A number of workers have reportedly been fired over the actions seen in the video, and an investigation by local...
Barbecue joints have been springing up around town nearly as often as apartment owners have raised their rents. With so many new choices and so many good pit masters moving to Colorado from the South's prime barbecue regions, it's no surprise that our barbecue choices have never been better. While...

I decided to take a break from dealing with the tiny house last week and focus on more important issues…like PIE. I take cooking pretty seriously. And I don’t consider “making a sandwich” cooking – even though a sandwich is the most popular meal in America, as Michael Pollan pointed out...
It was a grisly discovery. Patricia Richmond, 23, was found dead at a home owned by her future in-laws in Routt County, not far from Steamboat Springs. She was tied up and face down — and at this writing. At this writing, it's unclear how Richmond died. But as those...
The love story of Kathleen "Katie" Bartlett and Ryan Pocius didn't last for decades, as both would have wanted. But it continues to shine brightly despite the tragic event that brought it to a premature end in a physical sense, but failed to break their spiritual connection. That's abundantly clear...
Just when our Schmuck of the Week crew thinks we've heard it all, we learn otherwise. Today's lesson comes courtesy of Matthew McBride, who's been arrested on suspicion of tying up his elderly mother with a vacuum cord — and threatening to kill her. But the 84-year-old outsmarted him by...
