This is one of the few times when we excuse you from your civic duty to get out. Grab family, or, if they're too crazy to bear, grab friends for a feast to the approach of another beautiful Colorado winter. Oh, and what are we thankful for? You, of course. There are some who said we wouldn't still be here. There are some who think we won't be around next Thanksgiving. As long as we have the support of readers like you, the some will be thankful we're not reminding them to eat crow next Turkey Day. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! --Chris J. Magyar

Larimer Street will shut down tonight at 7 p. m. to light the big tree and kick of WINTERFEST 2000. The annual festi-val of lights and sights will last until January 2 of the new millennium, but the best reason to go is on opening night, when music from Denver favorite Nina Storey will fill the air and cocktails will fill the soul. The malls may cheat and decorate early, but the true American knows Holiday season kicks off the day after Thanksgiving. Kick it off in style this year ... kick it off with Winterfest. --CJM

Saturday November 25, 2000

So it's Thanksgiving weekend and you need something to put your wacky family in perspective. How about Ron Jeremy? Yes, the RON JEREMY, star of thou-sands of porn films and cult figure extra-ordinaire. He's hosting an S& M Sideshow at the SNAKE PIT that's sure to make any clan look like a Norman Rockwell painting in comparison. Featuring music by the Pin Downs, guest DJs, humor from the mullet man himself, and dancing girls (probably the kind who forget to wear clothes). Doors open at 9 and tickets are $17 at the door. You'll have to leave your little cousins at home-- it's 18 and up only. --CJM

How do you know there's a drummer at your door? The knock keeps speeding up. Okay, so drummers are easy to rip on, but the fact is that drummers are musicians, too. Colorado Symphony Orchestra percussion masters William Hill, John Kinzie, Terry Smith and Ted Small will prove it tonight at CSO'S "DRUMS OF THE WORLD," a concert dedicated to the art of the beat. If you have an unnatural fear of classical music, this is a good excuse to dip the toe in the water and see the gang at Boettcher. The all-new program starts at 2: 30 p. m. Tickets are available by calling 303-98-MUSIC. --CJM

Monday November 27, 2000
Slap on your lip gloss and put your hair up in pig tails. Disney's favorite UK imports, BB MAK, plan to perform their hits, "Still On Your Side" and "Back Here" at the FILLMORE AUDITORI-UM on Colfax. This boy band has proved to be pretty buoyant, keeping afloat among the giants N-Sync and Britney Spears. BBMak stands apart from the usual bubble-gum pop by writing and performing their own music. You won't see any flashy moves on stage either. This British trio just says no to choreography. Nineteen-year-old Los Angeles native, Jessica Riddle opens for the boys. Tickets are $18 and the doors open at 7: 30pm. --Elizabeth Beeson

Tuesday November 28, 2000
Don't bother with your laundry. Go naked to the NUDE MUSIC TUES-DAYS at CAFE CERO. These intimate evenings strip down music to its acoustic routes. Check out the Ryan Tracy Band's rock, funk and reggae sound at this evening's show. This Denver based band has become a local favorite since it's inception in 1999. Select wines are fea-tured for half off and admission is free. Get down to the bare essentials with an inexpensive night of great music and charming atmosphere. To find out more about Nude Music Tuesdays, call Café Cero at 303-282-1446. --EB

Wednesday November 29, 2000
Get ready to tap your toes to the impres-sive sounds of French-Vietnamese per-cussionist, LE QUAN NINH. For the first time ever, a man known as one of the most important percussionists of our time is visiting Denver for one night of improvisational jazz and experimental melodies. Held at the MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART in Denver, Ninh's show will highlight contemporary pieces laced with new technology. Colorado Saxophonist, Jack Wright, joins Ninh during the second half of the con-cert. Purchase your tickets now for only $10 ($ 8 for students). Don't miss out on your chance to see this world-renowned percussionist's Denver premiere. --EB

Are your walls looking a little bare? Come to the opening reception of the ARVADA CENTER'S 14TH ANNUAL ART MARKET and find tons of original artwork to choose from.

The touring BANFF MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL lands in Denver at the TIVOLI CENTER and REI Center for three days beginning tonight. Sponsored locally by Breckenridge Brewery and nationally by National Geographic and Eagle Creek Travel Gear, Banff showcases the best adventure films in North America year after year. Climbing, biking, skiing, snowboarding-- it's all up on the big screen, looming high and making you feel bad for sitting on your duff almost all year long. If you need the inspiration to get out more often (as if this little calendar isn't enough), these gorgeous images should do the trick. Tickets are available by calling 303-893-FILM. --CJM

Saturday December 2, 2000
Say what you will about the enigmatic C. AXL CONES (and we will, in next issue's cover story), he's a softie on the inside. Well, soft and kind of squishy, much like the rest of us ... but he's doing something many of us can't: filming his own TV SHOW TO BENEFIT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. The event-- an extension of Axl's regular cable-access show "The Cone Zone"-- will feature Symmetry, Cherry Wood, Peace Love & Destruction, Rocket Ajax and Sick playing their asses off for the always-raucous Iliff Park Saloon crowd. Only $10 makes your heart feel good, your head feel sore, and your ears wonder what the hell just happened. --CJM

Sunday December 3, 2000
Okay, here's the deal, and it's a simple one. The OGDEN. Tonight. RANCID, A. F. I., THE DISTILLERS. $13. If you haven't already picked up the phone to buy tickets, there's something wrong with your knowledge of music. Three bands destined to become punk rock legends for less than it costs to eat dinner downtown? You've got to be kidding us. And by the way, we have photographic proof that The Distillers love us. Take that, Laura Bond. --CJM

Monday December 4, 2000
Specializing in vintage religious icons and hand painted Italian ceramics, ALTAR boutique celebrates it's grand opening today. Altar will be showcasing the work of artist JACK PADOTA. Focusing on contemporary Virgin Mary images, Padota's work will be available for sale as post cards and magnets. Padota is a nationally known artist whose work has been featured in the hit show, the X-Files. To catch this show, scoot on down to the Altar boutique at 1229 East 6th Avenue, Denver. Admission is free. --EB

Tuesday December 5, 2000
In the mood for a little fine art? Take in some contemporary art covering three different mediums. The RON JUDISH FINE ARTS STUDIO is exhibiting the drawings of New York artist, KEITH MILOW. Along with Milow, the studio is featuring the works of Denver photog-rapher, KEVIN O'CONNEL and local sculptor, JOSHUA DALEY. The Ron Judish Studio is open from 11am-6pm on Tuesday through Friday and 12pm-5pm on Saturday. Admission is free. --EB

Wednesday December 6, 2000
Another Wednesday, another lack of compelling events to get you out of the house. Well, once again the Internet is here to help. This time it's in the form of WWW.MIGHTYFUDGE.COM, which is yet another streaming animation site FEATURING CHARACTERS NETWORK TV WOULD BAN. You can either thrill to the adventures of Slimmy (a, um, member of the male gender) or chill to the adventures of Ganjamon (a super hero who flies really high). There's more riotous cartoons on the world wide web, but Mighty Fudge doesn't skimp on the length of each cartoon. Time will fly and before you know it, you'll have spent another night indoors, alone. Shoot, we were supposed to be helping with that problem, weren't we? --CJM
