Walk around Colfax at night.

You could go to Elitches. Maybe there's a concert a red rocks.  Play golf.  Go to Del Friscos steakhouse.

we flew in the denver. seen a game, went to the brewery, and headed west to ogdan. crashed there overnight and went to an airplane memorial thing whatever tons of planes, and then a dinosaur park? (yeah i was younger). seen the temple, salt lake, clarke planetarium, yada yada...

then we went south to moab and stayed there along with going to the 4 corners, grand canyon, zion national park, bryce canyon. horse back riding in monument valley.

but yeah i think like you highlight, you need to incorporate nature in to your trip. now is the time to kayak, golf, raft, fish, hike, mountain bike.

Broadway around Alameda. Cool stuff going on. Also check out who's playing at the Bluebird, Gothic, Hi Dive, and Rhinoceropolis. Usually good bands are in town. (I'm playing the Hi-Dive on Saturday haha)

Absolutely not. I made the mistake of trying to get on I-25 from Broadway once. Terrible idea. Do not go there. It is a horrible part of town.

I would recommend getting a membership to Cherry Hills Country Club and playing golf there.

I haven't been there in at least a year or more, so things must have changed, because it used to be all hardcore and punk bands playing there.

oh crazy. guess its graduated from diy venue status then. I used to live at monkey mania for a while before it was condemned. I was so down with the dirty venues, but thats awesome to hear that they made rhino legit. too bad its still in RiNo so its a bitch to get there if you're too drunk to bike.

Why do you want him to think our city is a shithole?

I'm trying to direct him to the classy parts of town, and you're trying to make him wish he visited Detroit instead.

haha. except for cherry creek north, you just told this kid to go to the same suburban mall 4 times over. and I'm sure you didn't mean cherry creek north. If i wanted to see suburbs, I'm assuming he wouldn't ask what to do in Denver.

If at all possible I would have redirected him to Scottsdale, AZ. But, considering that isn't a possibility, I figure I can at least tell him a couple nice places to go.

Hahaha maybe if he is a 16 year old girl he would enjoy those parts of town. I don't know Denver super well, but usually when I'm there I'm on East colfax at a show. It's pretty sketchy, but I think they have been cleaning it up. Last time I was at the bluebird I remember thinking it looked pretty nice, there are some sweet bars and stuff.

Plus unless you ARE a 16 year old girl, there are not too many places in Denver that are that shitty really. Its a pretty dope city.
