Westword Artopia 2010 (Feb. 20)

Artopia, an annual celebration of art, music, fashion and food, brought thousands of people to a two-block stretch along Broadway, just south of downtown Denver on Saturday. This year, the enormous party has outgrown the three floors and rooftop patio of Club Vinyl and sprawled into four additional venues – City Hall, The Living Room, Bar Standard and Mo’s. Check out the full story on Examiner.com.

Fashion shows, art, food, music (bands and DJs), B-Boys, belly dancing, burlesque, live painting, firemancers, acrobats and much more! See my full photo set from this year’s Artopia on Flickr, or just watch the slideshow at the bottom of this post.

Artopia Pre-Party at Bar Standard, Rockstar Aaron’s Carnival Birthday Bash, Denver Cruisers and more… Oh my!

As it seems to happen a lot lately, I had a pretty busy couple of weeks. And, as is usually the case when that happens, I’ve neglected updating this blog in a timely manner. Fear not, for with one swift entry I shall catch up on everything that has been going on in my not-so-exciting life. Ready?

February 10 – Artopia Pre-Party at Bar Standard

This year, Westword’s Artopia promises to be bigger and more exciting than ever, spanning 4 venues and pretty much taking over the entire city block for the annual art-food-fashion-and-music party. I’m in no way affiliated with Westword, but I had so much fun at last year’s Artopia that I couldn’t resist bringing my camera this time around.

February 12 – Rockstar Aaron’s Carnival Birthday Bash at the Rockbar

This was one hell of a fun event. DJ Rockstar Aaron is known for throwing crazy parties for his Birthday every year, and this time was no exception. The party was hosted by Naughty Pierre Jean-Pierre St. Pierre and featured stilt walkers, burlesque performances by Lannie’s cabaret dancers Midnight Martini and Peggy Tulane, cameos by Maris the Great, Faggoria, Sid Pink and a slew of other colorful characters. There were clowns, little people, Single Ladies flash mob, and much more. The entire night seems like a blur to me now, but thankfully I have photos as evidence that it did, in fact, happen.
