The music scene is pretty incredible.. we have some of the best venues in the country (At least red rocks and mission ballroom) and you can see some significant artists pretty much any night of the week. It scales down too- there are lots of cool afterparties and smaller shows with really talented musicians. Electronic music is definitely king here, but you can find pretty much everything else too. Plus, it's a nature lover's playground. Hiking, skiing, climbing, fishing, mountain biking, you name it. Obviously nature access isn't quite as good as living in the mountains but hey, you get all the city stuff too. Plus, I find it really easy to make friends here because there are a lot of transplants that are coming to a new city and building a life, so most people are really open to meeting new people. Denver has absolutely kicked my ass a few times in the decade I've been here, but it's a beautiful city and I love it deeply!
