In his Super Bowl bet with Seattle's mayor, Denver mayor Michael Hancock wagered a sampling of some of this city's green chile -- including the version served up at Jack-n-Grill. That's the restaurant that Mark Antonation finally reached in his travels up Federal Boulevard last week, and he praised the...
As we noted yesterday, the folks at The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are among the yuksters having fun with the Super Bowl pairing of Denver and Seattle -- teams from the only two states that have legalized the sale of recreational marijuana. Memes makers are also going to...

Greater Than Collective's Social Club at Lannie's Clocktower has its June installment...
"Once you've had a few beers, it's hard to leave a German beer garden without making some friends," says Patrick Crawford, who opened Denver Beer Co. with Charlie Berger in August 2011. In advance of that opening, Crawford and Berger had gone to Germany -- and came back with the...
It's a suitably strange conclusion to a bizarre case. Back in December 2012, we told you about a lawsuit filed by Bryson Dewberry against Chang Ho Yi, a liquor store owner who'd shot him in the face after he'd shoplifted a bottle of Grey Goose vodka. Now, a jury has...
Last October, we reported about the sex-assault charges against Bojan Vuckovic and Dennis Hanson, who were accused of getting two girls drunk and violently raping them. In the end, the only conviction against Vuckovic that stuck was supplying alcohol to minors, despite shocking injuries to the young woman. Now, with...

When it comes to America's favorite monster, zombies have been on top for a while now. That's been great for dedicated zombiephiles like me, but even the most hardcore fans of the undead know it can't last forever. Sooner or later, some other creature will emerge to take the place...

The endless love in question unfolds in that universe where shy, bookish teenage girls are always catalog-model beautiful, not a pimple in sight or a pound overweight, not a garment from Hot Topic darkening their closets. The movie tells us that 17-year-old Jade Butterfield (Gabriella Wilde) is “awkward” and has...
Yesterday, we told you about the decision by administrators at CU-Boulder to close the campus on 4/20 for the third consecutive year; see our previous coverage below. Presumably, there won't be much going on in the buildings near Norlin Quad (longtime ground zero of 4/20 at CU) on the date,...
