nless you have been asleep under a rock for the past few months, almost everyone now knows that as of August 1, 2010 all medical marijuana dispensaries and marijuana product related entities had to apply for a Colorado state license under HB 1284. As the dust settles, in all, 717 people submitted applications for medical marijuana centers with over 100 more mail in applications waiting to be processed. Over 1,000 people submitted applications for marijuana grow facilities and close to 300 people submitted applications for marijuana related businesses, which include edible manufacturers. What does this mean for the State of Colorado? Over $7 million in fees for the state -- revenue that is badly needed in this economy. It also translates to thousands of dollars in future tax dollars, jobs, leases for landlords and best of all, medicine for medical marijuana patients. In November 2009 there were 30,919 medical marijuana patients in the Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry. As of August 1, 2010 there are estimated to be over 105,000 patients. Therefore, based on the number of applications there is an average of one dispensary for every 150 MMJ patients. It has been speculated that not all of the applicants will be granted the state license that they have applied for.

It translates to thousands of dollars in future tax dollars, jobs, leases for landlords and best of all, medicine for medical marijuana patients. What does this mean for medical marijuana patients? Many will find that the dispensary (which is now called a medical marijuana “center”) that was previously your caregiver is either gone or under new management leaving you orphaned so to speak. So that’s where Kush Magazine and dailybuds. com can assist. Kush Magazine and dailybuds.com has compiled the most comprehensive list of medical marijuana centers, doctors and provides information to its readers and online members on “everything cannabis.” Our directory is constantly being updated to add any new businesses that our readers are searching for. This should provide medical marijuana users with the assurance that as the business names of many of the centers change, or if centers are forced to change physical locations, this information will be updated by Kush and dailybuds.com. Check out dailybuds.com for coupons, menus and specials being provided by your neighborhood medical marijuana center. Let the games begin!! Kush Editorial Board, www.dailybuds.com

POLITICAL ROUNDUP by NOeLLe LeAvItt

DENVER

NO ExCESSIVE MMJ GROW OPERATIONS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS

Medical marijuana growers in Denver may have a new amendment to follow if they plan on growing weed in city limits Denver’s city council is reviewing ways to keep commercial growing operations out of residential homes. That means medical marijuana caregivers and dispensaries in Denver will have to stick to designated areas outside of family neighborhoods to cultivate medical cannabis. Councilwoman Jeanne Robb is the sponsor of the amendment and wants cannabis growers to stay out of houses. “I called everyone together and said help me to figure out what to do about houses like the one that I was experiencing (in my district) — the one that was growing anywhere between 70 to 80 plants on the premise, with the odors permeating the neighborhood and the baby’s room next door, and situations like that. So this amendment grew out of that,” Robb said. It’s called Amendment 3, and was discussed on July 28 by the Denver City Council Blueprint Committee. The amendment limits, “six plants maximum per person with an MMJ card, and 12 plants maximum per dwelling unit.” Next, the amendment will be formally introduced to city council and the mayor in the next few weeks. Then the council will schedule a public hearing, where marijuana constituents can voice their opinion about the proposal. Peter Parks, manager of community planning and development for the City and County of Denver, presented the amendment to committee, saying that the drug needs to be better monitored. Assistant City Attorney Kerry Buckey was also present, explaining how the potential residential zoning changes intertwine with the state’s new MMJ laws to council members. “The caregiver — under state law — can grow. Under our law (Denver’s law) they can’t grow on a residential property,” Buckey said. Councilwoman Robb was pleased to see the bill pass committee. “This is our first zoning amendment that deals with Medical marijuana,” she said. “Denver made a conscious decision to regulate medical marijuana in our commercial areas, while other counties, municipalities were banning it. Having (commercial grow operations) in the neighborhood is not my preference.” She wants medical marijuana to be grown in designated commercial sites.“I realize that a lot of people in Denver did support the Constitutional Amendment for medical marijuana... but we are not allowing commercial growing in residential,” Robb said. Marijuana proponents can follow what happens to Denver’s Amendment 3 at www.denvergov.org. Click on the Denver City Council agenda and minutes page. The city council will post when the next public hearing will take place.

Swimming is one of the best natural forms of exercise that

we can get. If you’re like most kids, you could stay in the pool for hours on a summer afternoon. If you’re an adult who doesn’t find yourself splashing around, diving for rings or challenging your buddies to a cannonball contest, just getting in the pool again is a great start to a complete physical wellness routine. Swimmers come in all shapes and sizes, and like just a few other sports, you can do it from a very young age well into your senior years. Lap swimming is a great way to get an aerobic workout in without putting any pressure on your bones and joints. Not only do you get your heart rate going, but the stretching and fluid motion of a swim stroke is essentially underwater yoga. Your joints, muscles and tendons get the opportunity to extend and stretch, giving you improved flexibility and better posture. An Olympic-sized pool runs 25 or 50 meters in length. If your neighborhood pool’s lap lanes are 25 meters (most are), 33 laps or 66 lengths equals a mile. Here are a few comparisons of calories burned doing different exercises. In this sample, our athlete weighs 150 lbs. A mile of moderate swimming burn 310 calories while increasing heart rate, improving lung health as well as strength and flexibility. 45 minutes of jogging burns 358 calories, improves cardiovascular health, muscle tone and endurance. Pounding the pavement can put pressure on joints, which can become painful. 45 minutes of low- impact aerobics burns 310 calories and 45 minutes of housework burns about 150. Along with creating strength and cardiovascular wellness, there are also psychological benefits to swimming, if you allow them to occur. Relaxing and swimming with very low effort can become meditative. By letting your mind focus on the rhythm of the stroke, your breathing becomes regular and general ease of motion translates into the rest of your day. Unless you’re a non-swimmer, swimming is something most of us know how to do. It is worth it to learn proper form because not only will you enjoy learning proper technique, it will improve your fitness and reduce risk for injury. Proper technique can be 14 kush

learned by any swimming video, website or lifeguard who is willing to chat. every neighborhood it seems has a community pool or swim center, as do many fitness centers and health clubs. And if you’re lucky enough to have an ocean or lake nearby, even better. Studies have shown that people who swim regularly have better attitudes and a more positive outlook because it is more of a mind-body experience than a “noisier” sport like aerobics or biking. When asked what swimming does for her, a 40-yearold woman who swims 3- times a week responded in such a way that it epitomizes the benefits of this sport: “Swimming for me is more like an over all mind, heart, body and soul exercise. Granted, it is still exercise and you have to make yourself get into the groove; once you are in, there is no looking back. Swimming strengthens your heart, relaxes, puts your mind at ease, and increases your endurance and strength. For me it is a choice to go and exercise, but what motivates me to push through the tough first laps is that it eventually becomes my personal time to reflect or meditate on what is bothering me. It gives me the time to properly organize my thoughts and then after all that, you’ve suddenly hit “the zone” and it becomes so peaceful that you can actually get away with thinking of nothing other than how blessed you feel just to have the ability to be there. All of that while losing inches and fat? Why wouldn’t you?” One last thing to mention is that swimming is not necessarily a great way to lose a lot of weight. Because the water keeps your body cool, aerobic activity slows once you’re on land as opposed to a land exercise where aerobic activity often lasts as long as 18 hours after completing the workout. Swimming is great for weight loss and even better if supplemented with other aerobic activity. A great way to get or stay fit is to swim 2 days and jog or bike 2 days. All are cheap or free and will keep the machine running smoothly.

If you haven’t noticed, solar power is edging its way into the mainstream conversation on alternative energy. Even baseball announcers are lending their names and voices to companies that make commercials touting how easy it is to get solar installed in your home or business. And why wouldn’t people be looking to the sun? In just one hour, the earth receives more energy than the entire world uses in a year! Solar power is the conversion of sunlight to electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly with concentrating solar power (CSP), which normally focuses the sun’s energy to boil water, which is then used to provide power. According to the Solar Energy Society, the three types of photovoltaic panels are Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline and Amorphous, and each has its own set of pros and cons. The fact with photovoltaics is that it is difficult to create a commercially viable system because of the overall cost of the system required to generate a useful amount of power. Scientists explain the solution that since solar radiation is intermittent, solar power generation is combined either with storage or other energy sources to provide continuous power, like wind. As a side note, a large power plant in Germany has been demonstrated using a mix of wind, biomass, hydro and solar power generation, resulting in 100% renewable energy. SO while the sun is not out all the time—it may go behind a cloud or hide out during a storm—there is a 100% chance it will return. This is the very essence of renewable energy.

Solar can be expensive to install, though every year the prices go down as interest and demand increases. If the cost of installing solar panels into a three bedroom home is $20,000, the savings that the homeowner realizes by installing solar will become an attractive investment in the long run. With the housing market slowing down so considerably these past years, solar is also an excellent way to add instant value to a home while promising savings to the buyer. The good news is that many solar companies are offering low cost monthly lease options where they also provide insurance and maintenance included in the price. Most comparisons show that if you compare the price of the new electricity bill and the lease bill, the total monthly lease bill for solar is less than the original utility bill. So aside from it being a smart “green” choice, it is definitively a money saver.

by JOSH KAPLAN THE SUMMER OF 1969 WAS A PIVOTAL PERIOD IN OUR existence. There were history altering events taking place at every turn, really too many to list. It was the end of a decade, and the height of the flower-power “hippie movement”. From the West coast in San Francisco, all the way across our country to a 600 acre farm in upstate New York, there was a movement taking place - it was real, and it had a name, face, and sound. This period, (that in hindsight was just a fleeting moment) culminated at the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, August 15th-18th, 1969. Being just a two week old baby, I regretfully had no way to get to this show, and of course had no ticket, but that wouldn’t have stopped me today. The modern day festivals are still living in the shadow of this momentous event. Everything from the amount of people (half a million) and the number of arrests (that being zero), to the unbelievable line-up - all of which are still talked about today, and still yet to be matched. Even though the weekend was spattered with rain showers, (which turned the venue into a huge mud pit), combined with a notorious string of bad “brown acid”, these promoters did something far beyond their wildest dreams. They brought this “Peace” movement to the forefront of our society, and in one weekend, proved that this scene, and the people in it weren’t just 22 kush

drug-addled waste-cases. They were able to show that “Peace” and “Love” weren’t just hippie slogans to be worn on buttons. They were actual notions of a period sometimes lost in the distractions of war, moon landings, and political assassinations. With notable musical acts like Richie Havens, Ravi Shankar, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, The Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, The Who, The Band, CSN&Y, and Jimi Hendrix as a closer, this was a veritable who’s who of the time. Those bands who declined to play (some who deeply regretted it later) were, The Beatles, The Doors, The Byrds, Led Zeppelin, and Bob Dylan. Just imagine if those acts were included on this mega-roster? It’s too much to even fathom. So the next time you’re at Coachella, or venture off to Bonnaroo, or even just go to a local show, try to appreciate your surrounding environment. Those that are there to share the space, and the experience. Take a moment to soak in what’s happening, and reflect on all the ideas, music, and art going on all around you. Maybe, just maybe, we can get this whole “Peace” and “Love” thing back in order. If we can just make enough buttons to make us forget about today’s war, and a catastrophic oil leak, than just maybe we can revitalize a very overdue movement. (continued on page 24)

Preseason football. It’s a new day and a new season. With the weird and disappointing 2009 season behind us, it’s time to look to the not-so distant future of our boys in blue and orange. The 2009 season looked so good. We started the year 6-0 and then the tailspin began. So what does this team have to look forward to? It can only get better, right? The big signing in the draft was Tim Tebow and his number 15 jersey has been selling like hotcakes since April. Is Tebow the future? Only time will tell. The safe Kyle Orton will remain the starter, with Cleveland castoff Brady Quinn at second string in front of Tebow. Denver’s passing game will be bruised by the loss of wide receiver Brandon Marshall, one of five players in NFL history to catch at least 100 passes in three straight seasons. Coach McDaniels is hoping first round pick Demariyus Thomas will be able to step into the lead role. Backup receivers Eddie Royal, Jabar Gaffney and rookie Eric Decker all have something special about them, but what is it and is it enough? Shake the Magic 8 Ball and hope for the best. The running game should stay tough, led by Knowshon Moreno. Moreno rushed for 947 yards and seven touchdowns in his rookie season. Some high draft picks should provide the line more depth and flexibility. The defensive front has all new starters, most notably Jamal Williams at nose tackle. At 34 -years old, the gargantuan defender has been plagued by injuries the last two years, but tough is tough and Williams is the poster boy for chew-you-up football. The other new starters on the line are Jarvis Green (New England) and Justin Bannan (Baltimore). D.J. Williams is a solid linebacker, recording 122 tackles last season and should be able to provide some leadership if all goes well during training camp. The cover corner combo of Champ Bailey and Andre Goodman is one of the best double-threats in all of football, and the ageless Brian Dawkins will always step up and provide real provide leadership from the safety position. In a nutshell, this looks like to be a rebuilding year. The defensive secondary is the team’s greatest strength right now but fans fully expect this team to become a force by next year with their young talent. The receiver position is really the gaping black hole of weakness for the team as it stands but hey, it’s a new season and anything can happen.

iablo Kush is a pure indica strain of cannabis, and is also a part of the OG family. Diablo Kush and Diablo OG are apparently two completely different strains though, thus there is no “Diablo OG Kush”. I picked up some Diablo Kush, and from what I hear about Diablo OG the two are essentially the same when it comes to the high and physical characteristics of the buds. And for all of you green thumbs out there, word on the street is that this strain has a 68 day flowering period. Diablo is incredibly sweet smelling and tasting. The buds are pretty dense and sticky, loaded with a crystalline sheen that sparkles with glittery exuberance. The batch I got was a lighter green, with orange hairs scattered around. It’s a really smooth smoke, and even when I blasted my lungs with the biggest hits I’m capable of I didn’t get that nasty burn that makes your eyes well up and sometimes destroys your high before it even starts. The buds burn at a pretty average rate, not too quick and not terribly slow. The high is pretty mellow overall, which is to be expected from an indica. Really nice lift without causing any unpleasant anxiety. A good, solid indica high all around. I’ve always been a sucker for the combination of the indica high with caffeine, and Diablo is no different. With a high like this I usually find myself on a Sunday morning, with a whole day in front of me and only a few annoying little items on the to-do list. So once those are out of the way I smoke a bowl, hit the coffee shop, put on my headphones, and just start walking for hours. Admiring the outdoor scenery and a variety of people relaxes me to a point of euphoric bliss. With Diablo along for the ride everything in life can just feel right. This strain is a little on the expensive side, coming in at $65/eighth from the first dispensary that I was able to locate it. That’s probably not too representative of what all shops can offer.... I was just too lazy to keep looking around for lower prices. And considering it was my first time at the shop, I got a nice little discount anyway. This is definitely top shop Kush though, and it’s understandable that it would be a bit more pricey than the average indica. Diablo Kush is very nice and I’d be proud to present any of my friends with this strain. Highly recommend getting high with Diablo... just try to avoid places of heavenly worship, as they might have an issue with your accomplice. That’s ok, Diablo creates a heaven of it’s own.

by Jay Evans Ok, so your Chia Pet died in 3rd grade, and your green thumb has been black ever since….KUSH understands. Not everyone has the knack to bring life to a shelf bought, terra cotta sheep. But as recent marijuana laws have allowed for personal growths within reason, it may be time to look into a start-up hydroponics system for your medicinal needs. Although a massive grow room may not be in your future, (not at first anyway) we think that with the abundance of hydro shops popping up everywhere, you should be able to determine a reasonable sized project, and take a fresh approach to turn things green again. For less than the cost of an ounce of your favorite weed from your local dispensary, you can buy a complete hydroponics growing system, that is low maintenance, and will harvest about four ounces of your favorite strain, every four months. This type of savings will add up very quickly, and pay for itself almost overnight. KUSH did a little research and found some great websites to get you started. For the best prices and expertise in the field, check out Hollywood Hydroponics’ website at www.SowCalHydro.com. With three stores now to serve you, these “Hydro Gurus” know how to get you started. The Bubbleponics kit from Stealth Hydroponics seems to be the most concise and complete starter kit. Priced quite reasonably at around $200-229. This kit is so complete, all one needs to do is add water. If you go to www.HydropnicsForDummies.net, you’ll also find some extra tips on how to spruce up the system. Another site offering an even cheaper alternative is at www.HobbyHydro.com. For more literature on the matter, KUSH suggests going to www.Amazon.com, as they have at least ten books on the subject, some as cheap as $5. Some of these starter kits are very complete, and start-up easily, while others might be more complex. Try to gauge your level of ability, and go from there. As always in the Grower’s Grove, we advise that you befriend your local Hydroponics store owner/operator, and ask a lot of questions. So even if you have a black thumb, these websites and starter kits should lead you into greener pastures. It just takes patience, diligence, and a lot of TLC. Spend a little money now, and you could save a lot down the road. 50 kush

Depending on your age, there was a day when a phone book was the only way to find a plumber, insurance agent or other types of service. today, the internet has changed all that. No longer do we rely on a book full of yellow pages as if we were living in the st0ne ages. Our reliance on cyberspace can fulfill our needs within nano seconds. However, when you own a medical marijuana business, reaching into cyberspace has become the 8th wonder of the world. For some or most, it can be scary. However, stepping forward is a must, as medical marijuana patients use the internet every second of the day trying to find new strains, edibles, or locations. According to a recent study by Internet World Stats, the United States has over 250,000,000 people using the internet which represents 76% of the population. Medical marijuana dispensaries are competing for patients like never before. A recent visit to some medical marijuana dispensaries 52 kush

in Colorado had 4 dispensaries within walking distance of each other. How does a medical marijuana patient choose from 4 different dispensaries? If you fear change, try being a medical marijuana patient attempting to purchase medicine from businesses they’ve never visited. Out of the 4, only 1 had an active website and 1 has an active dailybuds listing account. In a recent article from The Weed Blog, Johnny Green said it best: “We live in a completely different time now – the digital era. As I’m writing this article, I’m sitting in my crappy house in eugene, Oregon, taking huge bong hits and watching CSPAN between typing sessions. Back in the Day, in order to reach a national (or international as is the case with the net) audience, I would have had to fork out enormous amounts of cash for printing supplies, negotiate with print circulators and media outlets, and after years

of pain and anguish, MIGHt have pumped out a few magazines. Instead, I can think of a blog article and have it up by lunch time the same day, and share it across the entire globe!” Now that, my friends, is the power of the internet! Medical marijuana dispensaries and collectives are just like any business. They need to have a web presence to thrive. Web presence doesn’t mean you have just a website. It means your business is taking full advantage of all of the tools available to you. One of those tools is dailybuds.com. According to Mike Lerner, dailybuds. com received over 15,000,000 pages viewed in 1 month. Dailybuds. com is a unique and special place to visit. The reason is its ability to offer so much in one location. So, what does it offer? try blogging, bulletin boards, classified advertisements, video, music, listing pages, groups, events and online chatting to name a few. It also offers friendship, community, and important information within our industry. If you had to develop a website such as dailybuds.com on your own, the cost could be well over $25,000. By the way, most websites are lucky if they have over 25 visitors per day, let alone millions. Here are some areas that you should focus on if you have a medical marijuana business.

A blog is an application that allows you to post an article for everyone to see it on the site. Anyone who reads the blog posting can comment on that particular posting.

videos have become one of the most powerful avenues that patients can use to find information. Youtube.com had 144 million viewers in the month of June. Dailybuds has a specific section of its website dedicated to posting videos that can be used to showcase your business. Patients love being able to see what you have to offer, especially strains.

If you’re not familiar with forums, they allow you to post messages or content based on a specific topic, allowing other people to post messages. The two most popular categories in dailybuds. com are the growing and patient sections. The technology of dailybuds.com will allow you to not only write content but also add videos or pictures. If you are a medical marijuana business, you can contribute by showing some of your great products. Kush Magazine is working harder than ever to make dailybuds. com the premier choice for the medical cannabis community. We

If you haven’t created your own listing page for your medical marijuana business, you’re making a big mistake. The listing page is an excellent opportunity to “showcase” your dispensary with pictures, links, video, and written content. It is like you have your own web page within dailybuds.com. In addition, it works with Google to help you appear in the search results.

History 303.442.3282 The Chautauqua movement was started by John Heyl vincent and Lewis Miller in 1874 to support the nation-wide intention to professionalize teaching. It was then broadened to include adult education of all kinds and also social events such as concerts and lectures. Theodore Roosevelt believed Chautauqua to be “typically American, in that it is typical of America at its best” due to its belief in intellectual self-improvement and civic involvement. “Chautauquas” developed all over the nation, but eventually the movement died in the 1930s and now the Colorado Chautauqua is one of three left and the only left west of the Mississippi River.

For those of you who are spending lots of time in the gym, pumping iron and supplementing lots of protein into your diet, KUSH has an alternative for those nasty tasting whey shakes. take a look into Hemp protein powder, and we’re sure you will enjoy the benefits of our beloved Hemp plant even more. Consisting of all 20 known amino acids, (including those 10 that are essential for human health) Hemp protein has the right quantity and proportion for the body to utilize optimally, making it one of the best proteins available. Hemp protein also provides essential fatty acids needed for balanced health - one Omega 3 to each Omega 6. With all of it’s carb content being fiber, this works well with any low carb diet. The insoluble fiber content of organic Hemp protein powder works to keep your blood sugar level stable, as well as helping keep you regular. There’s nothing better than that, right? Making the switch from your regular GNC store bought Protein barrel to Hemp protein might not seem worth your while right now, but there are even more benefits that might win you over. No bloating - after chugging down a huge whey protein shake, the usual feeling is kind of “uuuugh”. A bloated belly with plenty of protein to go work off. Being free of oligosaccharides (the component that can cause gas and upset stomach) hemp protein powders will alleviate you from feeling that protein bloat. Hemp powders are ground up plant seeds which taste natural and are easily dissolved in orange juice or even water. Another benefit to digesting your protein this way, is you won’t have that “protein

82 kush

shake breath” afterwards. It seems like something small, until you don’t have to deal with it ever again. The benefits are exponential. Cost may be a factor in your protein choices, and there are many companies out there selling portions ranging from small jars to 5lb bags. With the Hemp protein powder being more efficient, and more productive than a lot of the “mass-manufactured” store-shelf barrel proteins, the best way to figure out which product suits you would be to start small, and then you can go large to save down the road. There are many online products available at www.Nutiva.com, or www.BobsRedMill.com. With anything that you might digest, inhale, or intake to your body or mind, it involves time, research, and trust. take the time to research these products, and investigate whether they are right for your particular body chemistry.

Joey Perez had tried it all. He was diagnosed with Autism at 18 months old, and was placed on his first set of medications at 5 years old. At just 10 years old, his fragile body couldn’t handle the toxic cocktails prescribed by his doctors any longer. His mother, Mieko, was helpless. Then she received the most heartbreaking news of all. Joey was given approximately 6 months to live. The doctors had no answers, but they did agree to

her arm herself with a wealth of information to be a better advocate for parents, who are depending on her. Mieko said, “When I speak of doctors I admire and have helped me give my son life and now help me give other children life…there’s no internet research going on here, I have personally spoken with the best in their field.”

knew Joey couldn’t handle anymore dangerous medications. The medications he was on, and had been experimenting with since the age of 5 had taken their toll on little Joey’s body. His body was slowly shutting down. All of his friends and family were watching him slowly fade away. Not only had Joey became anorexic, but his legs had given out on him also. His muscles were weak, his bones were fragile, he could no longer eat or walk. His mother was told she would be planning a funeral for Joey by the years end, and was told he wouldn’t make it until his 11th birthday on March 1st, 2010. The doctors who told Mieko that news didn’t know the person they were talking to. Giving up was not an option. She

Mieko continued, “ I am thankful to the Medical Marijuana Community who stands behind me not just in“spirit” but as Joey’s soldiers like: Michel Lerner from Kush Magazine, William Beaton of 420 University, NORML’s Woman’s Alliance, Montel Williams, Other Side Farms.com, Sam Sabzehbar from medical marijuana 411.com, Devin Calloway of Ajnag.com and numerous publications through out our county and internationally.” “I’ve made it my personal mission to remain “pro-life” and pro-active with common minds and these are the people helping me, so I can help families who need my support.”

Mieko believes through a divine intervention she found the research of Dr. Bernard Rimland, founder of the Autism Research Institute. She did extensive research into the bio-med protocol set forth by Dr. Rimland. Mieko gathered research and studies and armed herself with tons of compelling evidence of the benefits of Medical Marijuana. She then presented it to Joey’s doctor. Joey’s doctor agreed that this option might help, and she wrote Joey a recommendation for Medical Marijuana. Doctors may not prescribe marijuana for medical use under federal law, though they can recommend its use under the First Amendment. That was almost a year ago. Today - Joey is THRIVING! His improvements go above and beyond anything Mieko could have ever imagined. Mieko believes Joey IS the research that is needed and that his success with Medical Marijuana proves the Compassionate Use of Medical Marijuana SAVED HER SONS LIFE!

And she is not going to tell you all treatments don’t work – as a matter of fact, they all work!! But Meiko is 80% sure there are far more families who share her story than the rate she sees on CDC reports. Meiko says that “In light of the UK announcing their new cannabis approved drug within the last few months, I’m extending my foundation and my consulting services. Medical marijuana is the future.” Meiko founded the Unconventional Foundation for Autism and hopes many will invest through donations, events, sponsorship and partnerships. This is where Joey’s mom’s information is saving lives one brownie at a time! What medical marijuana, as a biomedical treatment, has done for Joey, thirteen FDA “APPROVED” toxic medications could not do by a guessing medical community who still does not understand autism. The bottom line is revisions need to be made. Rules are broken everyday in politics to fill someone’s pocket. Don’t you think it’s about time we throw money into research that will be used to save a life? With the rise of autism, many lives will be impacted! Meiko says “I would love to tell you my son is the only child that has been given life from marijuana, but I would be wrong.”

I repeat this treatment is not a cure but, definately an effective medication that has made a difference in Joey’s life!” Meiko exclaims, “I have a message to those doctors who would rather honor insurance companies than the oath they took when they became doctors to preserve life: Medical Marijuana is safer than most foods we consume today – ask any non government funded scientist. Medical Marijuana is a natural glutamate blocker (Gluten Free) and it’s about time the autism community starts OPENLY talking about it!” Meiko is speaking out for hundreds and thousands of families that have said “we are behind you, Mieko.

It really doesn’t matter where you go in this vast world of ours. If there are people living there, beer is being drank there. It goes back through the history of man, to the early Neolithic period or 9000 BC. It’s very likely that the early gathering of the tribes resulted in “altered states” from home-brewed beer, and home-grown medicine. Not far from today’s standards when it’s really broken down.

So, if you love beer as we do, you are in for the “king” of Beer Festivals - the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) being held at the Colorado Convention Center, Sept. 16th -18th. Since 1982, Charlie Papazian’s vision to celebrate everything “BEER” has been building steam from year to year, now filling a whole convention center worth of visitors from around the world. The GABF is a great way to spend the weekend, getting “pissed” with your friends, and trying new brews, but there is actually a real competition going on - and a very important one at that. The goal is to find three beers that best represent the different beer categories, (Hybrids/Mixed styles, Lager beer styles, and Ale beer styles) as defined by the GABF. This year they are welcoming 522 breweries, with over 2,238 beers being served, and some 3,594 slated to be judged in the competition. There will be 79 different beer categories, based on parameters unique to each beer style. With so many varieties in the competition, and so many available for the public’s judgment, there is a good time awaiting all at this festival. The weekend consists of four sessions: Thurs 5:30-10, Fri 5:30-10, Sat-day 12:30-4:30, and Sat-night 5:30-10.

Designated Driver’s Lounge with a full range of sodas and food for those driving us home (….thank you). The Silent Disco is great to burn off your beer buzz if needed, and the gift and bookstore are always great for a gag gift. One can even learn how to judge such an event. This can fill up quickly so get there early, and you can “be the judge”.

Besides all the great breweries in attendance, highlighting their best products, there will be many other events and notable seminars taking place. One can learn all about brewing from the Great American Beer School. The Homebrewers Association will be there to help you get started, and the Farm to the Table

If years past are any indication, the GABF encourages general silliness, goof-ball antics, buffoonery, and over-all tomfoolery. This means that wearing crazy costumes, and letting loose a little is all part of the fun. While this is an

organized event, it is based on getting drunk on beer, so a bit of monkey business will probably be over-looked. This event is always a huge party, and an overall great time. The festival usually spills out to the street and continues into the night at local watering holes. Make sure to prepurchase your tickets, as certain sessions can and will sell out, Saturday especially. Beer has so many flavors, styles, colors, bodies, heads,

thickness’ and richness’. All available for exploration at this hoppin’ party. Thank you Charlie Papazian. Thank you for having a vision - one that many may have scoffed at. But your vision has given us something great. A true celebration - through a tall, chilled glass, and a thick bubbling head. A celebration of everything “BEER”. A celebration where the styles and flavors of beer are endless, and the occasional Neolithic act is not unheard of. So grab your beer goggles, string up some pretzel necklaces, and we’ll see you at the Denver Convention Center for a brew. The first round is on KUSH, so make sure you get down there.

food is one of the most basic human needs and yet we have a limited knowledge on what occurred to get those plastic wrapped vegetables from the ground and into our shopping carts at the grocery store. It’s strange how little we know of the food we are putting in our bodies. We do not know where our food is coming from, what chemicals it has come in contact with, who has worked to bring it to us and even more factors that establish a disconnect between our food and its life before us. those who find an issue with this, vow to eat as locally as possible and the easiest and most effective way to do this is to subscribe to a CSA (community supported agriculture) at a local farm. In Colorado, we have it particularly easy as there are hundreds of organic farms that offer CSA memberships. A CSA is a community of local food enthusiasts who buy shares in a farm to share the risks of food production with a local farmer and in return get weekly installments of fresh fruit, vegetables, and depending on the farm, eggs, dairy, meat or honey. CSA’s began in Switzerland, Germany and Japan in the 60s to ease concerns about food safety, increasing food imports, urbanization, and a decreasing population of farmers. In Japan, they called the arrangement a “teikei”, which roughly translates to “putting the farmers’ faces on food”, and that is exactly what a CSA does. Out of the CSA, a tie both social and economical was born between farmer and consumer; the consumer would promise

to support the farmer and assume the risks of food production as if it was a poor growing season, it would be reflected in the produce the consumer was provided. the idea of CSA was brought to the United States in 1984 and as of 2007, there are 12,549 CSA supported farms in the US. Most CSA farms are small, local, family farms that focus on high quality foods with a sense of community. CSA shares are on average 14-20 weeks from June to October and come in a variety of sizes ranging from $300-600 and provide anywhere from two people to a whole family with in-season vegetables picked that day. Shares often have more quantity and variety in the middle of the share (around August), as it is prime growing season. Weekly pickups are often at the farm itself, Boulder Farmers’ Market, or some provide many pickup locations at members’ houses. to even further encourage a sense of community, farms often provide weekly newsletters about farm happenings and recipes, farm workdays, and farm visits. there is nothing more worthwhile than a weekly visit to your chosen CSA farm to see the full fields and loved animals and talk to a passionate and proud farmer about his/her produce and how it was lovingly grown. there are countless farms, but to start your search and give you an idea of the options, here is a starter list of CSA farms. CSA’s have already started, but it isn’t too soon to start shopping for one for next summer or even this fall as some offer a winter share. visit these farms and try veggies from their farm stand to find the farm that fits your taste and lifestyle.

In 2001 my oldest daughter announced her intention to go to the University of Colorado, Boulder and study music in the College of Music. As a native Californian, this was exiting news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a new place to explore and visit and luckily the home state of my very best friend who then lived in Longmont and has since moved to Lafayette. In 2007 my youngest daughter also decided to go to CU. For the past nine years I have visited the Rocky Mountain state dozens of times and each time I know why people call Colorado home.

Initially my experience was more Boulder oriented, staying at the time in the charming college town filled with amazing restaurants, boutiques and people. For those of you who have never experienced the amazing music available through the College of Music at the University of Colorado (I was lucky enough to go to dozens of shows), you are surely missing some very talented performers and events. One of the premiere venues I frequented, with over 2,000 seats and being over 100 years old, was Macky Auditorium located on the campus which hosts numerous musical events each year including CU Opera, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra and has seen legends such as eleanor Roosevelt, Jerry Garcia, Dave Matthews and recently Cheech and Chong, just to name a few. Guest speakers such as the Dalia Lama and Archbishop Desmond tutu have also graced the stage of Macky. Macky was built from a generous contribution by Andrew J. Macky, a Boulder pioneer, settler from the Pike’s Peak gold rush era, and founder of the First National Bank of Boulder. Macky was one of the most famous early residents of the town of Boulder. Bequeathing $300,000 to the University in 1907 following his death, the second largest gift ever given to a Colorado university or college, the groundbreaking for the Auditorium was in 1909 with its completion in 1923 after a lengthy legal battle over his generous donation by his estate. The architects, Gove and Walsh from Denver were asked to combine features from grand buildings located in Florence, Italy, Cambridge and Oxford england, as well as Princeton University and a New York City church. My first Macky concert was the Holiday Festival, presented each year in December which features College of Music choirs, ensembles, orchestra as well as featured faculty soloists. This year’s festival is scheduled for December 3, 4, 5 and 6th and will sell out, as always. If you’ve never experienced this annual festival, it is a great family event. Holiday music from all over the world is performed in the historic Macky setting. For those of you in the mood for a more classical Macky experience, be sure to go to one of the two fully staged musicals/ operas scheduled for this upcoming season. The classic Rodgers and Hammerstein Carousel is being performed October 22, 23 and 24th and the opera Susannah will be staged March 11, 12 and 13th, 2011. Check out the website http://cupresents.org/default/index. cfm, which has the entire calendar of upcoming Macky events including the Grammy Award winning takacs Quartet who will be in town September 19th and 20th.

If you are more inclined to visit Macky to see the Boulder Philharmonic, opening it’s 53rd season check out www.boulderphil.org/concerts/10-11-season-overview/10-11season for the complete calendar of events. Don’t let another year pass without a visit to Macky. You’ll enjoy yourself and wonder why you never visited before!! 102 kush

Boom boom. The noise is the foundation shaking signature of the Space Shuttle as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose and wings rip through the atmosphere on itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flight home. The twin sonic boom is normally a signifier of yet another successful mission into space. Early next year it will take on a much more significant meaning. 104 kush

2011 will mark a major turning point for the future of space flight. For better or worse, NASA will be getting its wings clipped. Five space-ready shuttles have been built over the years: Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor. The two shuttles, Colombia and Challenger have tragically and famously disintegrated in flight, Atlantis has been retired officially, leaving Discovery and Endeavour. Discover is set to lift off for the last time in Nov., and Endeavour is slated to be the last Space Shuttle to fly on Feb. 26, 2011. Today, the space program is just a whimper compared to the gargantuan national project that sent Neil Armstrong and Co. to the moon in 1969. Next year, when Endeavour touches down, the fleet of aging old tech will limp it’s way into the history books. After that there are no more plans for a manned space flight from NASA. The planned Mars-bound Constellation program has been scrapped by the Obama administration; the keys to the universe handed off to the private sector. The new idea is to have private companies develop their space vehicles. A new kind of private pioneer will be encouraged into space. President Obama said he is hopeful of a trip to an asteroid in 2025, and Mars sometime in the mid-2030s according to the New York Times. From now on, if you are looking for the Right Stuff look no further than your nearest tax haven. Rich people with a penchant for space flight will now take up the reigns once held only by an elite few.

It’s not all as bad as it may seem, excessive tourism can easily ruin many a vacation spot, but tourists in space could do a lot of good. The great thing is that normal people don’t just get to hear about the excitement of traveling through space, they can do it. Spend enough money and you can follow in the footsteps of Yuri Gagarin or Alan Shepard. The Space Shuttle, and Skylab before it, have been criticized over the years for squandering the excitement and enthusiasm for space flight with boring missions. The missions in the 60s that built up to the moon landing pushed the outside of the envelope and the astronauts were celebrities to the public. Since then there have been a torrent of scientists doing important, but ultimately not very exciting work. Maybe the image of rock stars in space will come back when we actually have rock stars in space. All you rap artists who think you’re hot stuff because your Cadillac has large wheels, this is your chance. Come back and talk to us after you’ve achieved low Earth orbit. You think your sport bike is fast? Try covering 8,000 miles every second. For the truly baller, this will soon be a reality. Virgin Galactic is taking orders for their space flights right now. $20 thousand gets you on the waiting list, $200 thousand sends you up into space. Virgin is not the only one getting in on the action, California based Space X launched a privately developed vehicle into orbit on June 4 this year. John F. Kennedy once said that we choose to go to the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard. One has to wonder if the change in the way we approach space flight is the easy way out for a country burdened with financial problems, or the difficult realization of the superior potential of the private sector. As for me, I’ll just be buying a lotto ticket... or 20.

Event Horizon is a horror film about a rescue crew that attempts to investigate what happened to a ship that went missing years ago. The Event Horizon was an experimental ship which was testing new technology that would allow travel through wormholes in order to allow faster travel through deep space. What resulted was that the ship was transported through another dimension of horror that introduced its crew to a new level of torment and suffering. The movie itself has received mixed reviews, some say the gore and plot go over the top, while others maintain that it is one of the most horrifying films of all time. 108 kush

A semi cult favorite for years, The Fifth Element paints a fun and interesting depiction of the future. The first Airplane movie stands the test of time as one of the funniest off-the-wall comedies ever made. Airplane 2 goes down in history as being very much like the first film, but in space. Ted Striker is back and is once again trying to win over the heart of his ongoing love interest, Elaine. Tragedy strikes when the on board computer goes haywire and sends the ship hurtling towards the sun. The ship’s crew are eventually killed or incapacitated and just when you think it can’t get any worse, they run out of coffee. Striker is called up to save the day and face his demons as he attempts to rescue the ship. If you haven’t seen the original Airplane, put this magazine down right now and go watch it. As for Airplane 2: surley there can’t be a funnier space sequel.

You might have to suspend your scientific beliefs in order to really enjoy this movie, from filmmaker Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire and 28 Days Later). In the film, a crew of scientists are sent from Earth to the sun in order to detonate a massive nuclear bomb. The sun has been burning out and life on Earth has been threatened by the cooling temperatures. Really, the sun is so massive that you could probably smash an entire planet into it with little effect, but if you can get past things like this, there are some terrific scenes for space freaks to really geek out on here. The film making is brilliant, and it somehow even enables the audience to feel the vastness of space. If you are into space, the sequence where tvhey fly close to Mercury is alone worth the cost of renting this film.

The casting is what really brings this movie to life, Gary Oldman is terrific as the villain, Zorg, Bruce Willis does a pretty good job as the hero Korben Dallas, and Milla Jovovich is, for lack of a better word, perfect. The movie is not without its flaws however. The costumes of the aliens are less than believable and the lines can be cheesy from time to time. This is good cheese though, like a Cheez-it or the cheese on a burger. Willis is a cab driver who has trouble making ends meet. His luck turns around when the perfect girl falls out of the sky (literally). Jovovich plays a supreme being that was sent to earth in order to save it from an evil force. It’s up to Dallas to prove to her it is worth saving.

Tom Hanks stars in this retelling of the story about NASA’s botched trip to the moon. Directed by Ron Howard in 1995, and nominated for nine academy awards including Best Picture, the movie displays all of the action and excitement that captured the world’s attention in 1970. The movie has been widely hailed as an extremely accurate representation of the actual event. One interesting note is that the line said by Hanks in the film actually deviates from what Jim Lovell said over the radio to Houston. The actual line was “Houston, we’ve had a problem” The line was changed to present tense for the movie in order to convey an ongoing event. Another interesting fact is that Jim Lovell himself plays the aircraft carrier Captain at the end of the film. Minor changes aside, this remains as one of the most complete and accurate space films around. If you like this and want to see more, try looking into the HBO miniseries ‘From the Earth to the Moon’ which covers the rest of the early space program, starting at Mercury and ending with the last Apollo mission.

Pour in the lemon juice, THC olive oil and soy sauce, and stir carefully to blend so as not to mash the avocado. Place this bowl into a larger bowl that has been filled with ice. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, but no longer - the terrific freshness of the fish will be lost. Once chilled, remove the bowl from the ice, and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with toasted bread or your favorite crackers.

Directions Pour white wine, cream, and coconut milk into a saucepan; season with curry powder. Bring to a light boil over mediumhigh heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the liquid has reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. When the liquid has reduced, turn heat to low, and whisk in the THC butter, a few cubes at a time, until all of the butter has incorporated. Do not allow the mixture to boil or else it will separate, and you run the chance of losing your medication. When the butter has incorporated, season to taste with salt and set aside to keep warm. Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. While the oil is heating, lightly season both sides of the salmon with garam masala and salt. Sear the salmon in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then turn over, and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until done. Briefly drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil, then serve immediately with the curry butter sauce.

Fill the prepared ramekins with equal amounts of the raspberry and peach mixture, and top with equal amounts of the oats mixture. Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until crisp and golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly. Sprinkle blueberries over the crust. Combine the 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over the blueberries. Make the topping: In a medium bowl, cream together the 5 tablespoons tHC butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, so that the mixture is crumbly like streusel. Sprinkle over the blueberry layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned. Cool and then dust with confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar before cutting into bars.

by JANE QUENTIN The dog days of summer are upon us and for me, a quick getaway is a great way keep moving through the heat. Sometimes just going to a movie can cool off the mind and body, though I often prefer a frozen drink in an igloo in August. If the mercury rise has got you down, a great way to beat the heat and maybe even come home a few dollars richer is to explore the throwback casino towns of Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek. Getting up the mountain to the casinos is half the fun. If you can get a group together, of course the only option is party bus! There are several companies that offer door-to-door shuttle service to the casinos. They also depart from many hotels throughout the day so pop in and ask any concierge or front desk clerk for times. It’s a pretty drive as well, but if you’re planning on enjoying adult beverages, don’t drive home! Room rates in the area are very reasonable, maybe not the same sort of deals you might find in Las Vegas, but if you plan ahead, you can get some great values by booking online. The larger hotels like the Riviera Casino and the Isle of Capri in Black Hawk have pet-friendly rooms that start at around $69 with rates being higher on weekends or holidays. The casinos have popular games like video poker, shot machines and card tables. There is always a promotion going on so check with player services to find out if signing up for the program affords you some great perks. Gambling is everywhere. There are two “main” sections of town with a few casinos on the outskirts. “New Black Hawk” is located at the South end of town as you’re arriving if coming from Denver or Golden on Hwy 119. Central City is more “preserved” than Black Hawk in that the town has done a good job of

114 kush

maintaining its mining roots, look and feel. If you’re looking for a break from the crowds, Central City is a good choice. Central City is home to the Dostal Alley Casino & Brewpub which serves excellent beer and pub food. Central City Colorado was the first town to open casinos in Colorado. Gamblers lined up outside the Historic Teller House Casino for blocks to get in. Since then, Black Hawk has taken over as the center of the action and Central City is nearly a ghost town once again. It’s not a good idea to take kids or anyone under 21 to the area since gambling is the main attraction. There are a few other things to do, but the real purpose of the trip is to get away in less than an hour, relax in the gentle breeze of air conditioning and try your luck at the tables or on the machines. After a day in Black Hawk, you will feel as if you have journeyed to another time and place, which is exactly why we love quick getaways.

Rodrigo y Gabriela + Xavier Rudd & Izintaba

Reggae On The Rocks

8.20.10 @ Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Morrison)

8.28.10 @ Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Morrison)

Rodrigo y Gabriela are an acoustic rhythm guitar duo, natives of Mexico, and got their start playing underground bars and pubs in Dublin, Ireland. their smooth style of dueling guitars is so simple that it needs no extravagant setup to blow a crowd away. A great show at Red Rocks that is certain to fill your soul with good vibrations and your ears with wonderful noises. www.rodgab.com

Reggae has always seemed to go hand-in-hand with marijuana. And although stereotypes are annoying, this really shouldn’t bother any of us. the lineup for the Reggae on the Rocks Festival this year, put on by Bill Bass Concerts, includes Steel Pulse, Israel vibration, and KyMani Marley, with plenty of wonderful support and additions sure to come. A few things are guaranteed here: good vibrations, quality music, friendly people, and beautiful views. the good atmosphere which should flow freely at Red Rocks on this late August Saturday afternoon and evening would be hard to beat, no matter where you find yourself. www.redrocksonline.com

Chromeo + Holy Ghost! 8.20.10 @ Ogden Theatre (Denver) Here is the perfect opportunity to dust off those dancing shoes and two-step your asses off ! Chromeo is one of the funnest shows on the road, and fellow New Yorkers Holy Ghost! certainly know how to make people move. Chromeo most recently released their single “Don’t turn the Lights On” with an album on the way this year. Holy Ghost! released an eP in late spring and have been touring the world since. Both put on a lovely show, and both will make your feet hurt come Saturday morning. www.chromeo.net, www.holyghostnyc.com

Chiddy Bang 8.22.10 @ Ogden Theatre (Denver) If you’ve heard of Chiddy Bang, it’s probably by way of their mixtape mashed, hip-hop renditions of MGMt’s “Kids” or Passion Pit’s “Better things”. Both songs were already real nice before Chiddy Bang put their twist on them, but the spiced up versions certainly opened the songs up to a new crowd. Coming off the release of their eP, the Opposite of Adults, these young dudes who met at Drexel University will be releasing their debut LP, Here We Go on August 24th. they have a really fun live show that has been touring extensively as of late, and it seems will continue if all goes as planned. We think you’ll dig it. www.facebook.com/chiddybang

The Black Crowes 8.29.10 @ Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) Good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll never hurt anyone. In fact, it’s probably saved a lot of lives. the Black Crowes represent the good part of a genre that’s been flooded with American Idol runner ups and label-made pretty faces in recent years. Performing songs from their latest work, Croweology, a double album of all acoustic material, this show will be on the mellower side than they may have played back in the 90’s. these guys have had an impressive career that began back in the late 80’s, and continues strongly today. After this tour, the Atlanta legends will take some time off to spend with their families, so get them while you can. www.blackcrowes.com

Vampire Weekend, Beach House 9.3.10 @ Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Morrison) Both relative ‘indie’ darlings at a time over the last year or so, this pairing of bands at Red Rocks is sure to uplift even the gloomiest of souls. vampire Weekend, the Columbia University grads who sprung to popularity upon their debut self titled album, haven’t had quite the same level of success with their more recent release, Contra.

!!! (Chk Chk Chk) 9.9.10 @ Bluebird Theater (Denver) !!! (pronounced Chk Chk Chk) are releasing their 4th full length album, Strange Weather, Isn’t It? in late August. the band is now Brooklyn based, but originally from Sacramento, forming in 1996. their sound could be described as dance-punk, with a live touring show consisting of 8 or more people to create an intense and lively experience suited well for the Bluebird theater. Inhibitions are best left at home and dancing in some fashion is basically required to make this show work for you. www.chkchkchk.net

Cloud Cult 9.11.10 @ Bluebird Theater (Denver) You may not have heard about Cloud Cult, but they aren’t really new to the music world. touring in support of their 9th and latest album Light Chasers, this band from Minnesota has been spreading their artsy rock sound for well over a decade. Similar to Bluebird’s !!! show on 9/9, Cloud Cult fully embraces the live aspect of music with 8 or so members that would work well as some sort of rockorchestra (rochestra?). these guys have a very intelligent sound that, if you’ve lost faith in modern music, prepare to be reinspired. Really nice, uplifting melodies and sounds that range from super mellow to beautifully hectic. expect getting your heart caught in your throat occasionally during this performance, and bringing a date wouldn’t be a bad idea. www.cloudcult.com

Does It Offend You, Yeah? 9.14.10 @ The Summit Music Hall (Denver) Does It Offend You, Yeah? came out of nowhere (the UK) with their debut album You Have No Idea What You’re Getting Youself Into. No we didn’t. the band’s name has seen some level of scrutiny as to it’s meaning, but as they said in an interview, it’s just a quote from the UK’s version of “the Office” tv show: “we switched it on and Ricky Gervais said “Does it offend you, yeah? My drinking?” so we just went with that. No thought went into it whatsoever.” So there you have it. Hard to say what to expect from their latest album Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You. these guys bring an incredible amount of energy to their live show, and their electro-pop-punk-emo-rock sound comes across very nicely. this show is being organized by Soda Jerk Presents at the wonderful Summit Music Hall. You will probably be amazed by this show, don’t say we didn’t warn you....

A guide to the Best desserts in town there is nothing that delights more than an exquisite dessert. A wellexecuted crème brulee can tame an argument and a box of cookies can save a company meeting. Sweets make special moments even more delicious— just look at valentine’s Day—on the day dedicated to love, chocolate is up there with flowers and is certainly enjoyed more by the recipient. Dessert has come a long way in the culinary world, where the pastry chef is often as revered as the head chef at many restaurants. Sandra Boynton, renowned author of children’s books, was on spot when she cited this important statistic: “Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate.” Denver’s culinary scene is no stranger to the divine end of meal and in this very important research, I have sacrificed by waistline to bring you my selection of the sweetest spots in Denver.

Why didn’t I think to open an eatery called “the Chocolate Café”? I guess I was too busy writing about eggs or listening to Method Man or something. Fortunately, the good folks in Fort Collins fulfilled my unrealized dream and run one amazing place. the Chocolate Café even has a bar! this is one of those spots where the dishes almost look too good to eat. I had the Harvest Apple Crème Brulee--Granny Smith apples and cinnamon topped with rich custard and served with shortbread cookies. I didn’t know whether to cry or ask for a job just to be near this amazing treat. there are just a few tables, but it is very well worth the wait, or call ahead and pick it up for later! *

How can you go wrong with a place that serves milk and cookies? You just can’t. D-bar has taken classic favorites and turned them into gourmet, chocolaty, sweet, caramelly heaven. the ice cream sandwich is served on warm mitt waffles and the menu item called, “that chocolate molten thingy that everybody has” is not at all like everybody’s. It’s melting chocolate, warm perfection. For fun try the dish called “An ode to Nola” (that’s New Orleans, Louisiana for all you rookies.) which is hickory soufflé, baby beignets and “prah-leen” ice cream. *

While the Kitchen is not solely a dessert spot per se, I still haven’t met a dessert in Boulder that beats the Sticky toffee Pudding with vanilla Gelato that comes out of the Kitchen. And yes, I took liberty with the capitalization on this dish because it is deserves it. You know how the aftertaste lingers in your mouth after you chew a caramel or eat a Werther’s candy? Imagine it in warm pudding form. I also tried a bite of the strawberry ice cream bowl served with sugar cookies and wow. Oh, and the food is great, too…f you’re in to that sort of thing. *
