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...

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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
One of the most popular arguments among marijuana-legalization critics is that greater cannabis accessibility for adults will lead to more use by teens. But a new study from the University of Michigan calls that assumption into question. Michigan researchers found that teen pot use actually declined this year despite legalization...
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...
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...
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...
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...

Today at the State Capitol, Colorado faith leaders, as well as local business owners and community leaders, will appear at a press conference in opposition to two pieces of legislation they see as religious right-to-discriminate bills. We previewed one of them — House Bill 15-1161 — last month in a...
The Catamounts are the wittiest theater troupe around — and, in many ways, the most charmingly inventive. When artistic director Amanda Berg Wilson learned that space at Boulder’s Dairy Center for the Arts, their usual venue, would eventually be unavailable because of construction, she put the current production, A Public...
Of late, attorney David Lane has represented several inmates or their families in regard to alleged substandard care of prisoners in custody. Examples include the case of Christopher Lopez, whose jailers joked and laughed while he slowly died (the Colorado Department of Corrections agreed to pay $3 million to settle the...
The Grateful Dead is still noteworthy, fifty years after the San Francisco band’s emergence amid the remnants of the Beats and the beginnings of the hippie generation. According to longtime Grateful Dead Hour producer David Gans (who also co-hosts the Grateful Dead channel on SiriusXM with Gary Lambert), “People are...
