THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2000
You've read all about this year's
DENVER INTERNATIONAL FILM
FESTIVAL (or have you? Page 13), so
now it's time to check out the opening
night gala, with a showing of David
Mamet's newest film, State and Main,
starring Alec Baldwin, Sarah Jessica
Parker, Philip Seymour Hoffman,
William H. Macy and David Paymer. The
movie is about a film crew descending
upon a small Vermont town, and sounds
similar in tone to Mamet's previous film
foray, Wag the Dog. It's only $25 to
attend the premiere and the ensuing party,
or, if you're feeling really ambitious, $59
to get a ticket to all three main events at
the festival (opening night, an evening
with Sean Penn, and closing night with
Shirley MacLaine, the current incarnation).
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2000
Okay, so it's Friday the 13th. And it's
October. And it's the year 2000. And it
just happens to be the night of a full
moon. For safety's sake, you'd better stay
indoors after the sun goes down (or, if
you're like most of our readers, it's time
to get that special outfit on and reach new
heights in public drunken displays of
affection). For daytime fun, check out the
BIKE COMPETITION at 3 p. m. behind
Conoco on Auraria Parkway, a quarter
mile south of Speer. The flatland competition
will feature cash prizes and the best
riders in Colorado, and it is absolutely
free to spectators. For more information,
call 303-837-8055.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2000
Who needs the Playboy Mansion?
There's a phat pajama dance party rolling
into Colorado to curb all your nightie fantasies.
SILK, presented by Futuregirl
Entertainment, will feature the DJ
stylings of DJ ESP, DJ Macguyver, Jonny
Bong, Ax's, James Steven, and David
Seied (Filo). Tickets are $20 presale and
$30 at the door. Only 1,000 tickets are
available at Soul Flower (114 S.
Broadway) in Denver and The Root
(1360 College) in Boulder. For more
information, call 303-674-5071.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2000
Today is the last day to enjoy NAN
DESU KAN, Colorado's largest convention
of all things anime. The event actually
starts October 13 at the Sheraton
Denver West, in Lakewood, and features
24 hour video showings, gaming rooms,
competitions and activities all related to
the art of Japanese animation. The floor
will feature enough tables of merchandise
to make any anime-phile drool.
Registration for the weekend is $35. For
more information, contact
genkiden-ki@hotmail.comor visit the web:

MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2000
This is not, I repeat, not your grandmother's
bingo night. One of Denver's most
popular gay clubs, Club Bent, opens up
its floor every Monday night for DRAG
QUEEN BINGO, a drunken party hosted
by Alexandra Winters and Chamblee
Tucker (two of the best improv comedians
in Denver at any price). Only $6 gets
you enough cards to last the night. Be
ready for plenty of audience participation
(orgasmic howling, liberal cursing,
pathetic heckling) and oooh ... aaah ...
fabulous prizes. I myself managed to win
$25 worth of free drinks, guaranteeing a
return visit. Straight men be careful--
there is a strip bingo round, and it's usually
the men with feminine companionship
who are cajoled into dropping trou
for the event.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2000
This is your last chance to catch SPIKE
& MIKE'S FESTIVAL OF TWISTED
ANIMATION at the Bluebird Theater.
The show has traveled the world to compile
some of the most disgusting, non-PC,
over-the-top animated shorts ever created.
Not for the faint of heart, the easily
offended, or (truth be told) the sober.
Only $7 will win you the chance to enjoy
the adventures of No Neck Joe, to marvel
at the evil deeds of helium balloons, and
to finally find out what happens to bowling
pins that don't obey the ten commandments.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2000
One of the all-time comedy classics of the
stage premieres tonight at the Ricketson
Theatre in the DCPA. "THE SHOW
OFF" by George Kelly is widely considered
to be the acme of American comedy-- a story about a fast-talking dreamer
and a down-to-earth workingman who
clash in the now-familiar odd couple way.
Tickets are $23-$36. For more information,
call 303-893-4100.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2000
It's always nice to see a band during the
height of its fifteen minutes of fame (even
if the tickets are more expensive that
way). Such is the position enjoyed by the
KOTTONMOUTH KINGS who will
play the Ogden to a very energetic crowd
tonight. If you haven't heard of them, you
probably wouldn't be into their music,
since every radio format even close to the
blend of reggae, alt-rock and hip-hop
they play has promoted the hell out of
them for the better part of a year.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2000
"This land is your land, this land is my
land..." Yep, everyone's tapped their toes
to the folksy stylings of American great
Woody Guthrie. But the true American
would rather tap toes to Woody's loony
son ARLO GUTHRIE, the progenitor of
Alice's Restaurant and gatekeeper to
counterculture at large. See the first man
to rhyme 'pickle' with 'motorcycle' at the
Boulder Theater tonight for only $23.50.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2000
You've heard of Meals On Wheels. Now
get ready for Art On Wheels as AUTOMOBILE,
an interactive art 'happening'
rolls into town. Opening at Ironton
tonight, the event focuses on Chris
Thunblom's 1985 Toyota pickup truck, a
rather unorthodox piece to anchor an
artistic event. The art of the truck cannot
really be described, only experienced. To
find out how to enjoy it, call Thunblom at
720-870-5727 or Lincoln Phillips at 720-
231-6721.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2000
The whole hullabaloo around the
Lilithization of women's music has
lumped a lot of good female musicians
(Liz Phair, Sarah McLachlan, Bic Runga,
Lucinda Williams) together with some
very tepid performers (Jewel, Jewel,
Jewel). The perception in the backlash is
that female folk singers are weak-minded
crooners with big boobs and bad teeth.
This is very unfair to the diamonds in the
rough, such as DAR WILLIAMS, who
is a genuine folk talent appearing at the
Boulder Theater tonight. For a taste of
real music, visit
www.darwilliams.com
MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2000
The recent resurgence of Celtic rock has
produced many pretenders and only a few
who can do it right. SEVEN NATIONS
is one of the bands that's staying true to
the school (unlike the increasingly
wimpy Corrs) and finally gaining the
notoriety they deserve. Touring in sup-port
of a new self-titled album, you can
catch the lads at the Fox Theatre in
Boulder tonight. For more information,
visit the slick website at
www.sevennations.com
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2000
There is one show every decade that
makes Broadway sort of cool. In the
'80's, it was "Phantom of the Opera"
(with "Les Mis" running a close second).
Hard to believe, but knowing all the
lyrics to "Music of the Night" used to be
hip. For the '90's, the handsdown winner
was "RENT" (sorry "Riverdance"), a
rock-and-roll musical that put good hairstyles
and pop music back on the Great
White Way. The show opens tonight at
the Temple Buell for those who want to
catch the tunes while they're still cool.
Beware, though, in five years this show
will look like moldy cheese just like
every other Broadway megahit.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2000
One of the signs of the apocalypse is the
fact that Nashville, Tennessee, has a professional
hockey team. Now I
know that the AVALANCHE
aren't exactly an ancient NHL
presence, but at least Denver's
got some hockey history (especially
when you consider the
rivalry between the righteous
Colorado College Tigers and
the evil Denver University
Pioneers), and our franchise has
Quebecois roots. Even our hall-of-
fame goalie has a funny
French name. So head down to
the Pepsi Center and cheer
against not only the Nashville
Predators, but every southern
hick hockey team that's joined
the circuit in recent years. Go
Canada!
