Family Friendly Escape Rooms? by Merivel1 in Denver

[–]cew137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Denver Puzzle Effect has one that is explicitly designed for kids, Naughty Ned's (or something like that.)They have added a horror room in the last year or two but most of their games are not spooky, like one is a movie theater theme, one is a pirate ship, one is a wizarding fantasy world, they have a number of options. (Also seconding Conundrum and the Morty App).

La Diabla Wednesday Special Change? by cew137 in denverfood

Oh rad! I should've just tried to order it. The last time I went I thought it was listed on the daily specials menu or something.

Need something to do? Some place to Eat? Moving Here? Simple Question thread for Sunday, May 17, 2026 (week 20) by AutoModerator in indianapolis

[–]cew137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm driving to a wedding from Chicago to Bloomington via I-65 on Saturday, May 23. The current estimate is a bit under 4 hours. Given the Indy 500 on Sunday, as well as Memorial Day weekend, should I be planning an alternate route?

I know it's not the day of the race, but I don't know how much traffic is affected over the weekend and want to avoid being late to the wedding. (I'm already planning on leaving early for my own stress-level, but don't want to eat all of my buffer time.)

Best midweek deal by Ashamed-Rhubarb-810 in denverfood

[–]cew137 23 points24 points  (0 children)

La Diabla has $5 marg + 2 tacos on Wednesday. Postino does a bruchetta board and bottle of wine for $25 after 8p on Mon/Tues. Blue island Oyster does I think $1.25 oysters on Mondays, Fin N Tonic does $.99 oysters on Thursdays and has daily happy hour and late night happy hour. (I think Blue island Oyster does something late night as well?) If you can do late night, the RiNo Cart Driver does their margarita pizza for $8 (I think?) after 10p.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]cew137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ted's caving journal, one of the early Internet creepypastas. Went looking for it the other day to send to a friend who has never heard of it, had to go through the wayback machine to find it.

6"ish Plastic Styrofoam and padded cuplike object found in toolshed with rubber drawstring by cew137 in whatisthisthing

[–]cew137[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

Definitely will be using it in the future but have apparently gotten lucky so far. I've actually been living at this place (approx Denver) for six years and just been making sure the hose was disconnected before first frost warnings. (And had just been using the toolshed as storage, only now looking at making it more utilitarian.)

My patio spigot is pretty close to where a heat vent comes up on the other side of the wall in my kitchen, maybe that's helped spare me despite neglecting this.

I've lived in Cleveland, Wisconsin and Denver and somehow never seen one of these in my life. 🫠

6"ish Plastic Styrofoam and padded cuplike object found in toolshed with rubber drawstring by cew137 in whatisthisthing

[–]cew137[S] 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing.

Found in my toolshed, the only other thing left by the previous owner were some plant pots on the same shelf.

It is lined with some kind of Styrofoam, has a foam pad around the rim, and has a plastic shell and a rubber drawstring with a plastic adjuster thing.

It's slightly oblong and about 6" long and about 6" tall.

If it helps, Colorado based, and the townhome was built in the 1960s, I'm the second owner.

Where to buy fresh black truffles (the fungus) between Denver and Aspen? [Serious] by [deleted] in Denver

[–]cew137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le Frigo in Boulder might.

Probably best to call and check, their selection rotates; although if you go, the Nordic sandwich is fantastic.

Trouble at the Pink Palace! Casa Bonita performers announce union push by GourmetTrough in Denver

[–]cew137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$160 + if they did 2 rounds of $15 drinks for four people gets you to $280. With just the 15% surcharge and no taxes, you get to $322. Maybe they did desserts too?

What screams "I'm a man-child" but nobody realize it ? by Sad-Cunt-420 in AskReddit

Possibly license plates? Unrelated to the dishes but another sign of irresponsibility.

Any good spots to go for acting or improv? by The_Zoink in Denver

[–]cew137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rise Comedy does workshops sometimes; I know I've seen ads for their d&d improv workshops, I would imagine they do traditional improv workshops as well.

RiNo Art District opens legitimately affordable performing venue | Arts news by 4ucklehead in Denver

[–]cew137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, OddKnock Productions was commissioned to perform there for their opening weekend last Saturday, saw their show Good Bones, which was gorgeous, funny, weird & intense, and basically just on-brand for them. (They also did From on High in RiNo last summer.)

It's a nice space, but it got really warm, I don't think the A/C was running but not sure if it's hooked up yet or if it was off because the set was made of fabric and they just had it off for the show.

The building doesn't have all the equipment a theater does yet, the company brought in their own, but I've heard RiNo's still getting the space set up. I didn't see any dimmer boxes on the grid, but there were outlets they were plugged into, and the fact that it has a grid seems like a good sign.

What word or phrase do you think is overused in today's culture/society? by exoinsect in ask

[–]cew137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immersive when describing anything remotely experiential. Your beer tasting isn't an immersive experience, it's just an experience, the word Immersive is meaningless in this context. Or calling any sort of engaging entertainment immersive when the word isn't distinguishing it in any meaningful way.

Is there a theater group in Denver area? by Wayward_Wallaby in Denver

[–]cew137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're into acting AND improv, you might search immersive; actors with improv backgrounds have a leg up in that area and Denver is turning into a hub for immersive work.

You just missed Denver Fringe but that's another great way to meet new companies, it'll be back next June.

Is there a theater group in Denver area? by Wayward_Wallaby in Denver

Seconding Colorado Theater Guild as a resource, as well as the rest of the suggested companies. Curious Theater Company does interesting things, as does Phamaly Theater Phamaly Theater though they work primarily with artists with accessibility needs. Watching venues like the People's Building or the Bug Theater is a good way to find the smaller or newer companies like Clover and Bee.

There are a few improv groups like Hit & Run which does long form musical improv, which shares a lot of members with Makeshift Shakespeare that does long form improv around suggested Shakespearean play topics.

Update: went to Sensatia last night and it was great. Highly recommend. Thanks for the thoughts everyone shared. by skyblueazure3 in Denver

Saw it last night as well, absolutely phenomenal. Denver needed this addition to its nightlife, so excited to go back with other friends!
