Doors Open Denver, where you can get a free look at some of Denver's architectural gems, is this weekend.

Hot Congress is in session! What's Hot Congress? Ten Denver bands who got together and formed a collective to support each other and get the word out. Eight of them are playing this weekend at the Larimer Lounge and The Meadowlark right around the corner tonight, 4/18, for $8, so you can run around and see all of them in one night. You've seen some of these bands together before ... Vitamins, Pseudo Dates, Achille Lauro, Action Packed Thrill Ride, et al

Paste and Oskar Blues Brewery are teaming up in a deal where Dale's Pale Ale gets all sorts of mentions on a Web site offering free downloads of music from artists featured in Paste.

InDenverTimes, the online news effort from former staffers at the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News is trucking along. The original plan was to sign up 50,000 subscribers, and if they met the goal by April 23, they'd launch in May, with paid staffers and fuller, interactive content and features available only to subscribers. Well, judging by the specials they've been offering to get people to get their friends to become subscribers, there may not be that many people _ yet _ willing to pay close to $60 a year for content from a staff that's a sliver of what the Rocky Mountain News had when you can get all kinds of Denver news free from The Denver Post and the TV channel sites. Plus, InDenverTimes has been offering a lot of content, including chats, for free from a volunteer "staff" working without pay. So don't be surprised if InDenverTimes decides to wait a while before charging people for content, at least until they can build up more of an audience.

Another good one from The Wall Street Journal. This one's about Comic Sans
