The Weekend of June 12-14

The Weekend of June 5-7

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:48:43 +0000

It’s First Friday Art Walk on Santa Fe. Pretty much every art gallery on Santa Fe between 6th St and oh let’s say 9th St is open this evening. If for no other reason go to see the guy who drives a giant fire-breathing steel alligator down the street. What’s that you say? Here’s a photo. If that’s not enough for whatever reason, there will also be wine, cheese and quite possibly veggie sticks. Santa Fe between 6th and 9th St 5pm-9ish.

Fort Collins’ “Pride In The Park” is Saturday afternoon followed by an after party at a nearby events center that night. Website here.

MCA Denver (Museum of Contemporary Art) is holding Penny Saturday – admission is only one cent. Go get your cheap ass some culture at MCA if you missed the Santa Fe art walk. 1485 Delgany 10am-6pm More info here.

The film “Outrage” which examines the outing of closeted anti-gay politicians opens this weekend at the Landmark Chez Artiste. Showtimes on Landmark’s website here. Trailer here.

Fake fundamentalist, Reformed Fundamentalist, Unrepentant Fundamentalist, and Scary Fundamentalist

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 14:46:57 +0000

This post has a cute theme yay!

First is Fake fundamentalist Betty Bowers who satirically examines the various “Biblical” definitions of marriage. (via Joe.My.God)

Next is Reformed Fundamentalist Dick Cheney who has now taken a more pro-marriage-equality position than our current president. (In all fairness Dick is more of a neo-con than a “fundamentalist” but I needed to call him one for the post to work.) (via gayzetteblog)

Unrepentant Fundamentalist Marilyn “mad cow” Musgrave sent out a fundraiser letter this week portraying herself as a political victim who stood up for family values and then goes on to quote the Bible. Her letter included a special shout-out for us queers:

“It’s certainly not easy to lose your seat in Congress. And harder still to be true to your values as I have been, but the radical homosexual lobby, abortionists, gun-grabbers and all the rest of the extremists finally spent enough money, spread enough lies and fooled enough voters to defeat me.”

(via the Denver Post)

Lastly in Scary Fundamentalist news the U.S. Marshals are providing 24 hour security for Dr. Warren Hern who runs the Boulder Abortion Clinic and is one of a few doctors who performs late-term abortions. (via 5280)

Too many tops in CO?

cocokirby — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 20:47:34 +0000

So I follow ManHUNT on Twitter and whoever does the posting over there (I’m gonna assume it’s a man) often has some pretty interesting insights. And since we just got a post with a lovely color-coded US map, I thought this was very fitting. Apparently Denver is a top-heavy town.

This goes right along with my good (top) friend’s observation that all the boys he keeps meeting and going out with on Connexion keep turning out to be tops. That’s true for me too. It does, however, fly in the face of all anecdotal evidence I’ve ever heard at JR’s and Tracks…hmmm

I wonder if the Sword will bring their Craigslist study to Denver.

Moody's Economy.com predicts CO will be one of first states to recover

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:43:30 +0000

Using data from employment, industrial production, housing starts and house prices Moody’s Economy has predicted Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Texas and Washington will be the first states to bounce back from the current recession. Moody’s believes CO’s strong tech-related industry will be key to fueling recovery.
