Elliott Since this is a Poetry Site Now

California

The rocks were moved by indian slaves
Which is pronounced differently in the local dialect:
"Father Serra built the walls."
And you can imagine his huge arms,
If you want to, lifting five ton stones,
Or his arms can represent larger forces,
Channeling historical forces into material
By way of human effort.

Right now what you get is this:
A seven year-old Mexican girl
At the kid's play place
In the Sacramento Train Museum
Ma… Continue

Moxie LaRue 2.10.10 - galleries to grime: a colfax good time

So there are times in a girl's life when she is...Hmmm, how can I put this delicately? Hookin' poor. Not that I actually went the route of hawking my God goodies for a little dough. The pittance that the sort of men who would pursue this pootang for pay wouldn't be enough to make it worth eternal damnation. Selling my sex is on par with selling my soul. At least that is what the nuns always told me. So instead, I am simply selling out. Hawking my god-given talent… Continue

Beer Jenn 2.2.10»IN PURSUIT OF DAVID BOWIE: A DENVER CRAFT BEER CRAWL

I’m a beer girl. A very passionate one. But when it comes to going out, I almost always avoid downtown and rarely venture past my local bars. For the sake of my first Six Shooter, I decided to make an exception and wander the streets of downtown, at least the ones where you can find good beer. So I called up a few friends and started planning a route around Blake Street. My goal was to have beers I had never had before. Knowing this is a difficult feat, I had a backup theme of craft beers, j… Continue

Drew Bixby 1.26.10»THE MORNING COMMUTE

Within Denver proper, no less than 20 dive bars open before 9 a.m. – most at 7 a.m. or shortly thereafter, many more between 9 a.m. and Noon. They do so not for the “literate, urban lush” still awake from the night before; still rolling from whatever got dropped, snorted or smoked at after hours; or still enamored with the novelty of daytime drinking and the state-school tailgating memories it conjures. These joints open in the early morn for the third-shifters, the transients, the widowed,… Continue

Allen Klosowski 1.26.10»SIX BEER JOINTS NEAR FIVE POINTS

Author: David Pennington Photography: Allen Klosowski Violence & Entertainment: Rick Ramos Our evening, more or less, happens in the Five Points warehouse district; a place that trades its daytime blue collar workers for the nighttime wannabe blue collars and the apathetic. It’s charming and concrete-laden.… Continue

Matt Brown The Faces of Medical Marijuana

They live with cancer, multiple sclerosis, severe digestive and neurological disorders, constant pain and other devastating conditions. For some, allergies prohibit traditional painkillers. For others, traditional western medicine has had no impact – or worse – has actually exacerbated their condition. For each, medical marijuana gives them back their life. They are the faces of medical marijuana. Whether serving as a painkiller, muscle relaxe… Continue

HeidiTownMayor 12.22.09»CRAWLING FORT COLLINS

We struck out on a Saturday night, prepared to drink our way through Fort Collins, Colorado, the town rumored to have the most bars per capita second only to San Francisco. As it turns out, this is an urban legend, but a persistent one. As a college town, Fort Collins’ drinkers are numerous, with young, healthy livers. Our group doesn’t quite fit that profile, although we are still relatively young in the big scheme of things, our livers have been around the block more than once. We have al… Continue

Denveater 12.1.09»SEEING STARZ: DRUNK AT THE DENVER FILM FESTIVAL

I’ll see your Denver Six Shooter and raise you one Starz Denver Film Festival, where one night lasts eleven days and a half-dozen slugs is the bare minimum just to keep the staff rasterized into recognizably 3D forms through the hours when the Late Night Lounge, of which more anon, is closed. As the festival publications editor, I’ve long since fulfilled my duties by Opening Night, but as the fancy ladyfriend of the Artistic Director, aka the Director, I’m on social call 24/7—which means for… Continue

Vivienne VaVoom 11.17.09»VINTAGE CLASSIC VS. NEW CLASSIC BARS

Since the ladies of LUPEC (Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails)* are at heart a vintage cocktail organization, we decided that our Six Shooter tour would pit three vintage bars with classic cocktails against three new bars slinging the classics. Points were given for drinks, service and atmosphere. Most of us piled into a minivan with a suicide door (our designated driver Bravo Torro warned us that it could… Continue

msdebinco Let me add to places that make me "sick"

Have to say it would be "The Proof" on Hampden. Actually, it's because of a rather personal experience...last time I was there (ummm...let's see, over a year or so ago) with my daughter. Having a fairly okay time - although the place was so packed you were breathing other people's oxygen - then went out to dance with a guy (obviously not American-born, and NO I am not being prejudiced here). This idiot actually leaned over (while we were dancing) and whispered something in my ear that embarrasse… Continue

Dionysos 11.03.09»COLFAX MARTINIS: A LITTLE DIRTY

I drink for a living. Drinking is my job. My affection for all things Tap and Coaster compels me to spend a significant amount of time in watering-holes, happily ass-warming the furniture. And over time I’ve learned a few things about cocktails—specifically what I like and what, not to put to fine a point on it, I wouldn’t wish on an enemy. Lately, what I like is martinis. And in my never-humble opinion there is one—and only one—recipe for the things, which is this: gin, a dainty splash of d… Continue

Erik Keith “College Triggers” Can Increase Eating Disorder Risk

Research shows that the transition to college, with its inherent pressures and changes, can increase the likelihood of eating disorders in young adults. While college students are empowered with newfound independence, this freedom can also trigger unhealthy and dangerous behaviors. In the past year, Eating Re… Continue
