Local Bands Make a Difference

This Thursday, May 31st, Coles Whalen, Wendy Woo, Slopeside, and Spyz are coming together at Herman’s Hideaway for a concert benefiting the Patient Assistance Fund.  With an average chemotherapy treatment costing around $20,000, the fund aims to help make those costs more affordable. Doors are at 7:00, and a donation is suggested. 

Free Sunday Night Entertainment

Sunday nights are hot at Confluence Park. Every summer sunday night, Denver’s best fire performers gather next to the Platte River behind REI’s flagship store to practice and show off their skills. On a typical Sunday, you’ll see flaming hula hoops, fire poi, and jugglers, all doing their thing to the beat of the drum circle (feel free to bring a drum and join in). Its the best free sunday night entertainment next to the poetry slam (article coming soon).

Thursday Night Improv

Despite the name, the Bovine Metropolis Theater does not employ cows as actors. Thursday nights at the Bovine are an adventure in improve comedy that brings together new and experienced actors in a cacophony of laughter known as BMX (Bovine Metropolis Experience). Shows start weekly at 7:30 and tickets are $8. Bovine Metropolis Theater is located at 1527 Champa.

More Than Temporary

“An experimental space for the idea of hope.”

While the Museum of Contemporary Art continues construction of its new ultra-modern facility at 15th and Delgany, exhibitions are still being held right accross the street at the museum’s Temporary Contemporary facility. “The Peace Project”, going on now, is a room full of visual stimulus by Miami based Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt.

For $5 ($3 for students), its worth checking out.
