Funky Features: *LOL* Caricature Co.
In this day and age, as technology becomes increasingly better (and, I might add, more and more expensive), what can’t keep up gets left behind. The sometimes forgotten art of caricaturing isn’t going anywhere anytime soon though—please, go ahead and breathe a sigh of relief that you can continue to have your teeth drawn two...
Cacao Craze: Colorado Chocolate Festival
Sadly, Easter has come and gone and the chocolate bunnies have all hopped away for the year. Now that it’s May, there aren’t a lot of upcoming holidays to give us the excuse to down mass quantities of delicious chocolate. Thankfully there is hope yet: the Colorado Chocolate Festival. From 4–9 p.m. on Friday, May...
Tree Pose: Botanic Gardens’ Yoga
I would consider myself to be more of a night owl than an early bird, so you can imagine my body’s confusion when I dragged myself out of bed at 5:45 a.m. a couple Thursdays ago. I sleepily started searching for my yoga clothes and then I made a beeline for the coffee maker. Obviously,...
Booze Blanket: Denver Snuggie Pub Crawl
Anyone who has lived in Denver has most likely made the mistake of going out without enough layers on—it was a beautiful day so you left your house with that miniskirt and ditched a jacket because you didn’t want to have to carry it around all night, and then you left the bar and realized...
Sweet Tooth Sweat: Make-A-Wish Cookie Chase
We’ve all heard the “you can have a cookie after you’re done with your meal” lecture, but what about the “you can have a cookie after your run” speech? Turns out the old dangling a carrot trick works on humans too—just make sure that you substitute Otis Spunkmeyer cookies and Royal Crest Dairy milk for...
Candid Camera: Garry Winogrand Exhibition
In today’s world of contrived photos—hands on hips, matching smiles, “one, two, three” countdowns—we can forget about the value of a candid photograph. Able to capture a person in his or her natural state—not lined up and patiently waiting for the camera to flash—a candid photograph can capture moments that we typically take for granted....
Wine Wisdom: Indulge Wine School’s 101 Class
We’ve all been there—you’re sipping on a glass of wine and you hear the self-proclaimed wine connoisseur discussing how his distinguished palate can pick up the faint taste of freshly cut grass (not to be confused with day-old cut grass) or a touch (no more, no less) of cedar. If you’re anything like me, you...
On The Rise: Kitchen Table Cooking School Classes
I’ll admit it—I’ve never been a natural for cooking. I’ve burned dishes, made cookies sans flour, and have ordered pizza when all else fails. While some are drawn to the kitchen, I tend to gravitate toward restaurants and takeout. Lately, I’ve considered trying to make more of a domestic effort, but I’ve realized that before...
Bald Is Beautiful: Fadó Irish Pub’s St. Baldrick’s Fundraiser
St. Patrick’s Day is quickly approaching—it’s time to buy that Guinness, sport that shamrock bead necklace, and wear so much green that you’re mistaken for Kermit the Frog. This weekend make merry and feel good about it by visiting Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant’s annual St. Baldrick’s charity event on March 16th. The St. Baldrick’s...
Celebrating Cycling: The Dairy Centers’ Bike Art! Exhibition
We all know people who absolutely adore their cars—like the people who look forward to a nice day just so that they can spend it in their driveways washing their cars. But in Boulder, people are sharing their affection with two-wheel transportation instead: the bicycle. Boulder residents love to use their bikes, but now they...
