| Global Noize Fox Theatre | Sat., August 30, 9:00pm | Boulder | |
Jam bands playing Boulder are a dime a dozen. But once in a while, a group comes into town that gives dignity to the concept with imaginative compositions rich enough to burst the bounds of self-indulgent musicianship. Taking worldbeat to its logical conclusion, Global Noize combines elements... More >> |

| GZA Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom | Sat., August 30 | Downtown | |
During the Wu-Tang Clans prime, most of the groups members enjoyed successful solo outings. But times have changed since then, mostly for the worse: Ol Dirty Bastard is dead, Method Man and Raekwon are no longer the draws they once were, and recent discs by the RZA and... More >> |

| King Britt Vinyl | Sat., August 30 | Central | |
King Britts musical resumé is long and varied. He rose to prominence as the DJ for the ultra-cool, jazz-inflected hip-hop act Digable Planets. These days, hes known as a master remixer and startlingly original DJ who can fuse everything from Philly soul to broken beats into... More >> |

| Revenge of the Tiki Party Mercury Cafe | Sat., August 30, 9:00pm | Downtown | |
What started as a kitschy birthday party for swing dancer extraordinaire Tiffiny Wine has morphed into an end-of-summer standard at the Mercury Cafe, where Wine and Dan Newsome hold court over the dance floor. Not only have the two been the orchestrating force of the swing scene there, but... More >> |

| Durango Ska Brewing Ultimate Frisbee Hat Tournament Durango |
Sat., August 30 more dates/times |
Southwestern Colorado | |
One of my favorite pastimes growing up was playing what we called Ultimate Frisbee (also known simply as Ultimate, leaving out the trademarked Frisbee name). Sort of like football or rugby, the game involves passing the disc from one player to the next until the end zone is reached... More >> |

| Estes Park Alpaca Show Estes Park | Daily from Sat., August 30 until Mon., September 1 | Mountains | |
Its rare to find an animal that can be both a smart, gentle companion and your source of wool for the winter, but thats the alpaca for you. Already cuter and more intelligent than their friend the llama, alpacas are a hard breed to beat at least they were until recently, when... More >> |

| Our Journey Colorado's Central Plains | Daily from Sun., June 1 until Tue., September 2 | Eastern Colorado | |
Im always regretting the outings Ive blown off for no good reason, especially those opportunities for the otherworldly experiences one can have on a single tank of gas. This summer, for instance, I never did travel the back roads of Our Journey, a day-long self-guided tour of small... More >> |

| South Broadway Open Air Market South Broadway Business District | Last Saturday of every month, 3:00pm-8:00pm | South | |
The word crafts has a negative association with macrame plant-hangers and other kitschy handmade crap, but these days, crafting is enjoying something of a renaissance. The DIY spirit of the punk and indie music scenes has been injected into this once moribund activity, resulting in... More >> |
|||
| Colorado State Fair Colorado State Fairgrounds | Daily from Fri., August 22 until Mon., September 1 | Southern Colorado | |
Even before Colorado became the 38th state in the Union, in 1876, the state fair had already dug in its spurs, showcasing bovine beauties and bucking bronco riders, wonder tonics and handicrafts. Nowadays, nearly half a million people round up the buckaroos and head to Pueblo for... More >> |

| End of an Era Art Sale Mary Mackey Art |
Every week Friday, Saturday from Sat., August 2 until Sun., August 31, 10:00am-4:00pm more dates/times |
Northwest | |
Mary Mackey closed her groundbreaking gallery space at the corner of 25th Avenue and Eliot Street nearly ten years ago, but she never left the building: As an artist-turned-gallerist returning to her creative roots, she continued to rent studio space in the old red-brick commercial building,...

| Jump-Street Jump-Street | Daily | North | |
It takes me less than five minutes to soak through the front of my T-shirt, but I can't stop. With my hair clumped together and plastered to my forehead, I jump, jump, jump, bounce, roll, drop, fall, jump, jump. Sometimes I bound straight up and down ten or twelve times in a row to see how high... More >> |
|||
| Lakeside Amusement Park Lakeside Amusement Park | Daily from Fri., May 2 until Mon., September 1 | Northwest | |
A lot can change in 100 years, but the greatest thing about Lakeside Amusement Park is how much everything has stayed the same. You can still take a spin around the lake in "Puffing Billy" and "Whistling Tom," the parks original miniature steam engines that were installed for the opening... More >> |

| Lyons Classic Video Oskar Blues | Daily | Northern Colorado | |
Dale Katechis, owner of Oskar Blues, gave up his office to provide a home for Lyons Classic Video in the lower level of his restaurant but it was worth the sacrifice to save a life. Kevin Carroll, owner of Lyons Classic Pinball (located next to Oskar Blues), "has this illness," Katechis... More >> |

| Wheel Fun Rentals City Park | Daily | Central | |
Denvers a pretty nifty place, full of killer views and happy people and slightly-lower-than-the-national-average gas prices, but its missing one thing: nautical miscellanea. No early-morning fog rolling in as unseen ship bells clank their solemn dirges. No ancient seafood shacks... More >> |
