This no-fail Colorado perennial is close to my heart | Opinion

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:19:05 GMT

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems).Gardening in Colorado isn’t for the weak-hearted.It’s taken me decades of battling clay soil, grubs, slugs, beetles, weeds, drought and my own ignorance to arrive at a comfortable truce with my yard. No more do I throw my hands up in disgust every time I walk outdoors.But it’s been a difficult — and costly — road.In the spring, I would say prayers over my victims when I purchased hundreds of dollars worth of perennials and annuals, many of them destined to die in short order. An East Coast transplant, I once had high hopes for those acid-loving rhododendrons and Cape Cod-blue hydrangeas. I had silly visions of South Florida azaleas and bougainvillea thriving at 5,000 feet (RIP, lovely plants). Thousands spent...

Video art remains hard to define and a challenge to exhibit

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:19:05 GMT

No genre of art is more misunderstood, or less appreciated, by the general public than video art — for a couple of reasons.Even though it has been recognized and discussed for more than half a century — and has produced genuine art superstars ranging from pioneer Nam June Paik to current practitioners like Matthew Barney, Bill Viola and Tania Candiani — video art remains hard to define and a challenge to exhibit.The video piece “Never Settle” is part documentary, part satire. Photo provided by RedLine Art Center.It is easier to say what it is not: cinema, or at least traditional filmmaking where creators use actors to tell cohesive stories (although some video art has a narrative and a lot of it uses actors).But video art, speaking generally, tends to focus on presenting an idea or a concept, rather than a coherent tale. Most of the video art you see in galleries these days unfolds as a series of moving images, connected in a dream-like or surreal way that is meant...

Short book reviews: A timely tale in “The Deluge,” by Stephen Markley

Editor’s note: The opinions of the smart, well-read women in my Denver book club mean a lot, and often determine what the rest of us choose to pile onto our bedside tables. Sure, you could read advertising blurbs on Amazon, but wouldn’t you be more likely to believe a neighbor with no skin in the game over a corporation being fed words by publishers? So in this new series, we are sharing these mini-reviews with you. Have any to offer? Email [email protected].“The Deluge,” by Stephen Markley (Simon & Schuster)This novel in turn frustrated me, held me spellbound, scared the bejeezus out of me and left me in awe. “The Deluge” is set in the very near future and the U.S. is embroiled in the effects of successive and worsening climate-change-caused weather disasters, political extremism, home-grown terrorism, private militias, more senseless mass shootings, government surveillance and overreach, economic swings and anything else you can imagine ...

Tossing an old license plate in the trash landed this Colorado lawyer in jail for a theft he didn’t commit

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:19:05 GMT

Manuel Diego Soza had no idea the trouble ahead when he tossed his old Texas license plate in the trash at an AutoZone store earlier this year.Months after throwing away the old plate and putting his new Colorado plates on his silver Subaru Forester, police officers showed up to Soza’s Denver apartment and took him to jail on theft charges.Their investigation hinged on the expired Texas license plate. A Hispanic man had walked out of a Walmart store with a stolen $199 speaker and climbed into a vehicle bearing that license plate. A Westminster police detective said Soza, who is also Hispanic, was “clearly” the thief.But the thief had a neck tattoo; Soza does not. And the thief’s vehicle was a different model and color than Soza’s Subaru.Westminster police botched the investigation and missed several red flags that should have alerted authorities that they were looking at the wrong suspect, Soza said. The criminal case against him was officially dropped ...

CAAMP’s Matt Vinson talks about why Denver streams the band more than any other city

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:19:05 GMT

CAAMP ended its two-night run at Red Rocks last October by passing out bunches of lavender to an amphitheater full of fans to celebrate the release of the band’s fourth LP, “Lavender Days.”A little over a year later, Ohio-born CAAMP is back in Denver for another sold-out, two-night Red Rocks run. But Denver isn’t just another city for the mountain-friendly folk-rock four-piece: according to Spotify, Denverites stream CAAMP more than any other city, and bassist Matt Vinson says the endlessly attentive and enthusiastic crowds here prove it.“Colorado was our first sold-out show outside of Ohio,” Vinson said. “[The fans] are there to have a good time, but also … pay attention and absorb the music.”That desire to pay attention blends well with the band’s yearning to highlight different aspects of its varied discography, which spans from slow, soulful acoustic to more upbeat, Lumineers-esque folk-rock. The first night at Red Rocks will be an acoustic set, a chance to spotlight...
