Denver Arts Week starts 11/14, with a bunch of museums offering free admission that Friday night, 5 p.m.-10 p.m. during "Night at the Museums." So you can visit the Denver Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art or Denver Museum of Nature & Science FREE. Or also the Colorado History Museum, the Kirkland Museum of Decorative & Fine Art (where they'll have hors d'oeuvres and live jazz), the Forney Museum of Transportation, Black American West Museum, the Byers-Evans House Museum, Museo de las Americas, Molly Brown House Museum and the Children's Museum of Denver. Free parking and a shuttle are available at the Cherry Creek mall.
The 2008 Starz Denver Film Festival gets under way 11/13 (it's a Thursday night) with "The Brothers Bloom," starring Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, Mark Ruffalo and Rinko Kikuchi. Saturday night 11/15 is the big red carpet night when they'll be showing "Slumdog Millionaire," the new movie from "Trainspotting" director Danny Boyle. It's been getting lots of praise.
How about this to get the early ski season going: Keystone has free concerts for three straight Friday nights, starting with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah on 11/21. DeVotchKa plays 11/28 and it's Girl Talk 12/5. Next to the River Run Gondola in the Hunki Dori parking lot in River Run Village.
Denver celebrates its 150th with free admission 11/22 to the Colorado History Museum, Denver Zoo, Denver Botanic Gardens, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Museum of Contemporary Art Denver.
We're eagerly waiting to see when the band Paper Route might make it to Denver for a show. They're from Nashville but have songs that sound eerily like Coldplay...until some of the harmonies and electric keys kick in. (Try listening to "The Sound")
Missed Audrye Sessions when they were in Denver, but their EP has been in the iPod for a little while. A soundtrack for underwater daydreamers. I don't know what that means. Check out their Elliott Smith cover on their MySpace page
