An entertaining outlook on the month ahead

I can’t remember the last time Apple dropped the price of an existing product, but dropped it they have. It discontinuing the $499, 4-gig iPhone and dropping the $599 8-gig version $200, merely two months after it hit the shelves. Meanwhile, they’ve released the iTouch, the new iPod, which is basically the iPhone without the phone. Slated to roll off the line next is the iRide, a new car with no wheels, and the iPresident, also called George W. Bush...

French Connection

Nothing compares to autumn’s crisp, cool fall nights. Not too mention the near daily gridiron turf wars. But there’s more to fall than that; check this spate of acts that complement football and the “Simpson’s Halloween Special…”...

Celebrating Sputnik on Stage

October, 1957. Elvis Presley is dominating the charts. “Bridge on the River Kwai” debuts in England. The Little Rock 9 just began their first days of school in Arkansas, under the protection of Army National Guard troops. Jack Kerouac’s tome, On The Road, has just been published, launching the beatnik generation...

A Good Amount of Geek

But don’t even think about firing that query his way on the KBCO Morning Show’s weekly trivia contest where listeners try to stump the all-knowing music god. You can’t ask Buffet questions—it’s one of the growing number of quirky rules about which trivia is off limits...

If The Cool Gets Old, The Food Stays Hot

In considering Nine75, located near Village Bistro in Westminster, I would like to begin by saying that the recent effort on the part of restaurateurs to bring a city dining sensibility into developing locations is welcome...

More Than Just a View

If you’re anything like me, heading out to the airport specifically for a meal is kind of like going to prison for the weight room. Yeah, it’s there, but you could probably find a better one elsewhere with fewer, erm, headaches. Imagine my surprise, then, when a recent trip out to the Runway Grill at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport proved to be an enjoyable and affordable experience...

More Interns Need to Turn Out Like This

Alex Porter’s start at Flatz Restaurant was far from glamorous. A little less than seven years ago, he was simply an intern at the flashy eatery in the Renaissance Hotel in Broomfield...

Another month, another athlete arrested. From Kobe Bryant to Pacman Jones to Michael Vick, the story of a sports star in legal trouble is becoming as common as guests crying on “Oprah.” This time the main character is O.J. Simpson. Again...

Surviving The Great American Beer Festival

There was a time when it seemed The Great American Beer Festival was little more than the best all-you-can-drink happy hour under one roof. But when it rolls into Denver Oct. 11-13, please don’t revert to your beer-chugging college days. Beer deserves better...

Longing for a Voting Booth

There’s always been something romantic about Election Day. Sure, computers break down and huge crowds turn into obnoxiously long lines. Denver’s Election Day 2006 was a prime example of how not to do things. But nothing replaces the sound of the voting booth curtain swooshing closed behind you. Or the hum of citizens eagerly waiting to cast their vote for change. An added bonus is that cool...

October Letters to the Editor

"In a country that raises its eyebrows disapprovingly at the name 'Jesus' thus an uphill battle for the church to interest youth. I think that meeting kids where they are at is indeed a great marketing strategy."

The Cure For a Hangover, Sort Of

It’s recently been said that the University of Colorado has dropped from the upper echelon of party schools. For those bemoaning that fall from grace, take solace in knowing that at least CU’s nerds know how to have a good time. A team of CU graduates apparently had enough hangovers during their days studying that they figured it was time to develop a remedy...
