Colorado Film Sponsors True Grit on Colorado Day
Produced
by the Civic Center Conservancy, the FREE Civic Center Bike-In Movies
Series invites cycling enthusiasts (and those using all other modes of transportation) to spend summer evenings in Civic Center Park.
In celebration of Colorado Day - which in 2014 marks the 138th anniversary of Colorado becoming a state - the Colorado Office of Film, Television & Media, Westword and the Denver Film Society are sponsoring this free screening of the original True Grit starring
John Wayne, Glen Campbell and Kim Darby. This film was selected by the
Colorado Office of Film, Television & Media in honor of "Colorado
Day" because filming took place mainly in Ouray County, Colorado, in the
vicinity of Ridgway, around the town of Montrose (Montrose County), and
the town of Ouray with the courtroom scenes were filmed at Ouray County
Courthouse. Please note that the original"True Grit" is Rated G -
making this a good movie night option for families. That said, the 1969
film is a Western - with outlaws and shootouts typical of the genre.
Attendees can bring picnics or purchase from on-site gourmet food trucks beginning at 6:30 PM, with the show beginning at dusk.

The Ultimate Guide to Dining Along East Colfax on Eater.com
Wednesday, July 23, 2014, by Ashley Hughes (EaterDenver.com)
Colfax Avenue has been recognized as the longest commercial street in the country, at 26 miles in length, but the notoriety of this thoroughfare often comes from the illicit activities that have plagued sections over time. The grittiness is part of the character though, and East Colfax is now a part of town with a growing scene, including restaurants. For our purposes we've focused on the three-mile stretch between Franklin Street—where Park Avenue intersects—and Monaco Parkway, to bring you 12 ultimate dining options along East Colfax.

Voodoo Doughnut Mile High
The doughnut craze reached new heights in Denver when this Portland
transplant set up shop. Don’t be alarmed by pastries that resemble
blunts or male genitalia, and make sure to give the maple bacon bar a
try.
1520 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80218
(303) 597-3666
Torta Grill
As the name indicates, this spot dishes up Mexican-style tortas, or
sandwiches. In addition to topping options like ham, chorizo, eggs and
cheese (the Jose preparation), each one is loaded with refried beans,
avocado, tomato, onions and mayo, and a choice of jalapeño peppers,
chipotle sauce or jalapeño jelly.
1818 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80218
(720) 420-0964
Pinche Tacos
First developed as a food truck, the brick-and-mortar followed in
this first location (a second is in West Highland). Modern street tacos
are the draw here, with combinations like sweet and sour braised pork
belly, triple-cooked beef tongue or roasted chile poblano and creamed
chipotle corn.
Known for its gourmet sausage sandwiches, you’ll find options like
the Swiss—a veal and pork sausage, clover sprouts, red onion, parsley,
spicy brown mustard and curry seasoning. Don’t miss the homemade chips
and tater tots with seasonings like ranch or salt and malt vinegar.
Sharing space with the Beetle Bar, Odelay serves street eats like a
fish taco with slaw, pico, avocado and blanco sauce, along with a side
of mango salsa. Bonus: Every Tuesday pork, chicken and steak tacos are
just $1.
Specials are offered nightly in addition to the regular menu of
modern Italian fare. Dishes include sausage and caper pizza, spaghetti
bolognese and lamb chops with gnocchi. Panini are also served on
weekdays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The trifecta of watering hole Atomic Cowboy, which houses pizzeria
Fat Sully’s and the Denver Biscuit Company, is a unique combination. The
three businesses keep different hours, but complement each other in
what they have to offer.
This cozy spot opened quietly under the helm of Mizuna alum Royce
Oliveira, with a well-edited and constantly changing menu. You may find
dishes like buttermilk fried chicken, roasted salmon or porcini
carbonara on any given night.
Bastien’s is an old-school steakhouse, with its signature offering
being the New York strip sugar steak. The retro atmosphere is conducive
to sipping on a martini and starting off with a shrimp cocktail.
This newly opened quick-service spot from former Zengo chef Clint
Wangsnes has a certified sous-vide program that lends itself to the
cooking of proteins like chicken, top sirloin and short ribs, found in
plated entrees, sandwiches and atop salads.
Solera has been turning out Spanish-inspired cuisine since 2001, with
a menu of meats, cheeses, modern tapas and larger plates. Don’t miss
specials like Wednesday wine tasting, all-you-can-eat mussels on
Tuesdays and happy hour Tuesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Enjoy authentic cuisine at this Mediterranean restaurant where you’ll
find baba ghanouj, beef shish kabob, gyros and more. There is daily
happy hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., as well as belly dancing performances
on the weekends.

Kerouac was a Bum
It might be socially acceptable to glamorize the Jack Kerouac of the past now, and think of how
he wrote much of the Beat classic On The Road on Lafayette St.,
very close to Colfax, but then if he walked the famed street today he would be just another casualty of
gentrification: an unwanted panhandler; another bum sleeping in your doorway. In the light of his posthumous success it's all too easy for some teary eyed romanticism to creep in, but he really was just a bum. A gifted, literary bum, but a vagrant in the eyes of respectable society nonetheless. Gentrification has no place for his kind of genius and he probably would have just been told to move on.
Truly it is a Rocky Mountain High. Few cities have I ever
seen that have endured such an immediate and total makeover. Baseball fields
where Neal Cassady used to hit home runs over the fence are dwarfed by Coors Field,
and the beatnik avenues of his skid-row father are now high falootin' high
rollersville roosts called "lofts", only there ain't no artists left cuz
they are too busy spilling for oils and canvas and their finery and the rents
turned against them. Capitol Hill. Colfax alone!
A friend of mine's mother came out to visit a few weeks ago and couldn't believe that her son could afford such a rich neighborhood. Five years ago she came and visited and was scared for his life and demanded that he seek better housing. He never moved. So, my beloved Capitol Hill, of pan handlers and poets, and wandering vagabonds and scrubs, is no longer affordable to the former followers of freakiness.

There are just too many people discovering the "East
Coast of the West Coast". I tell anyone here that is concerned with urban
sprawl, "Let it go, why worry? We've got all the way to Kansas to expand this empire!"
But tonight, Bob Weir is at the Ogden Theater.
Wow, not since my mom took banjo lessons from Jerry Garcia in Menlo Park have my eyes seen so much hair in
need of a shower. Hip E.
Accuse the man in the school bus of litterin' hippies across
Colfax, and congratulate the man who thought to turn the old Cowboy Disco into
a hipster bar called Sancho's Broken Arrow. Talk about thinking a "head". This place is packed to
the ribs of Jonah's whale. The hills have emptied out their devotees. All of them live
above you at -20 degrees until there's a Dead Show in town.
These followers of the hippie dream are somehow convinced that the rules of society don't appeal or
apply to them. Man, I live on the rules of karma and it said I deserved to rip
off a friend for my miracle ticket...Little hippie aggression, I feel.
Sensitive New Age Guy. SNAG. Don't last long in a woman's jaw. But I do honor
their efforts to establish their own status quo. And I believe in love and
those that follow Love have my blessing and gratitude, no matter how badly
Patchouli Oil smells.
Now the Deadheads that once took over whole parking lots at stadiums are confined to a single, few block stretch of sidewalk. Where do the freaks go now?! I’m off to “Original Aurora”, to
see if all the artist and hipster community seed has been planted there, or
just another Larimer Square.

Black
Veil Brides confidently take the lead with their third full-length
album, Wretched and Divine [LAVA Records/Republic Records]. Boasting a
compelling concept, the record sees the Los Angeles quintet—Andy
Biersack [Vocals], Ashley Purdy [Bass], Jinxx [Guitar], Jake Pitts
[Guitar], and Christian Coma [Drums]—deliver a collection of songs
that's as immersive as it is infectious. Hallmarks of their sound like
gritty riffs, orchestral flourishes, elegant soloing, and anthemic
vocals remain intact. At the same time, everything expands gracefully
into the fabric of an intricate post-apocalyptic drama about The Wild
Ones penned by Biersack and artistic collaborator Richard Villa III.
Ultimately, Wretched and Divine opens the gateway to a new world
altogether.
Coming
off the road in support of 2011's Set the World on Fire, Black Veil
Brides made a collective and conscious decision to break ground when
they entered the studio. They couldn't just make "another album"; they
needed to make a statement this time around. The songs weave together to
tell the tale of a dystopian future where a unified church government
is devouring society through taking away science and creativity. This
despotic regime drugs the youth into becoming drones, but refugees named
The Wild Ones—the band's fictional alter ego—inspires the kids to be
themselves and revolt.
"In
essence, it's the origin story of the band and the BVB Army," he
reveals. "At the same time, it's not a musical. You can listen to any
track as a standalone Black Veil Brides song. If you choose to go on the
ride, there's a story. It's the soundtrack to our lives and lives of
The Wild Ones. It's got elements of everything we've done, but it's
different. It's high-concept, but it's also personal."
Fans
have definitely felt everything that Black Veil Brides have done up to
this point. In 2010, they laid the groundwork for their legion of
supporters to be born with We Stitch These Wounds. The album debuted in
Top 40 of the Billboard Top 200 and No. 1 on the Independent Chart,
leading to their signing with LAVA. In support of the record, they
headlined the coveted Alternative Press Tour and were crowned "Best New
Artist" at Revolver's Golden Gods Awards and "Best Newcomers" at the
Kerrang! Awards. In addition to appearing on the Vans Warped Tour, they
scorched the stage at Download Festival, Bamboozle, and Rock am Ring.
Meanwhile
a year later, Set the World on Fire debuted at Number 17 on the
Billboard Top 200, and the band hit the road with Avenged Sevenfold and
Hollywood Undead. Transformers: Dark of the Moon and The Avengers both
included the band on their soundtracks, and their pop culture
infiltration continued. Along the way, they amassed one of the most
rabid fan bases in modern music, affectionately dubbed BVB Army.
