Ah, fireworks.
As Homer Simspson said, what better way to “Celebrate our nation’s independence by blowing up a small part of it?”
It’s time to celebrate our freedom from those wig-loving Kings of England with colorful explosions and lots of BBQ snacks!
For those who like their traditional celebrations, Four Mile Historic Park (715 S Forest Street) will be holding a good old-fashioned 4the celebration from 10am-4pm, with family-friendly fun.
Coors Field will be having their annual display of fireworks after the Rockies Game, so if you like sports, it’s win-win on the celebration end.
Why not combine organic wholesomeness with firey explosions? At Whole Foods on 870 South Colorado Boulevard, the 4th will be celebrated on the 5th for all the lazy procrastinators who forgot the day before! The City of Glendale will be launching off their show, and apparently the parking lot of Whole Foods is the ideal viewing spot. Also, an all-store party will begin at 5pm, and something tells me there will be lots of good eats and free samples.

As a very wise website once observed, the internet may be killing live comedy.
I know most of my laughs come from internet memes or snarky websites or quotes from tv shows that are circulated endlessly on comment boards. (”To start, press any key. Where’s the ANY key?”)
But tonight, I take the bold step of potentially laughing at live performers at the Comedy Works.
While I’m sure it’s just in my mind’s eye that the talent there will be telling “And women drive like this!” jokes or riffing on Mr. T ala 1982, I’m not so sure about this “real life laughter” thing.
Ah, but I jest. I’ve got a stash of free tickets and am exicited to go grab a beer and laugh with REAL LIVE humans for a night.
Would any one here on my beloved interweb like to join in? Tickets have to be gotten by 7pm. Give me a hollar, and I’ll reserve one for interested parties. (Just FYI- I think there’s the usual 2 drink minimum at the Comedy Works.)
You know where to find me, Denverites who might care for a Tuesday Night guffaw.
But lord knows a live comic can be nothing compared to an LOLcat.
HA……uh. Yep. The internet has ruined laughter forever.

Break out those platform shoes, babies!
Lord knows I love me some disco.
I even was the proud owner of a pair of white and sparkly green bellbottoms that advertised “DISCO MEGS” down the legs.
So I’m as excited as if Studio 54 returned to its heyday for Fashion Denver’s collaborative “Disco Mountain” fashion show tonight at the Bluebird Theatre. Starting at 9pm, watch some of the best 70s threads walk the groovy catwalk.
I feel like I’m dancing with John Travolta in “Saturday Night Fever” already.

Tommorrow, June 25th, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science are holding their monthly FREE day, where they open the doors to all of us budgeting rabble.
Hot dog!
Current exhibits to see include: Extreme Ice, wherein the videos and photographs of James Balog show the frozen wonders of the world. A must-see before global warming makes them all into mush.
Egyptian mummies: My favorite as a kid. The mysterious “rich woman” mummy always fascinated me, and now the museum apparently has a technology that allows a demonstration of what she might have looked like in life. Other xrays and scans show fascinating things about these two old cadavers.
On Wednesday, medical professionals will also be at the museum talking about lung health as well.
Get your natural history on, and do it for free!

Last night was my second Denver Cruiser ride in a row, and let me tell you something: the cruises are a blast.
Overheard last night at the Samba Room, a restaurant we invaded:
My table just left without paying because of these people [Denver Cruisers]!
If you choose to join us, please read about DC and the DPD.
