Oscar Wilde’s 1895 comedy The Importance of Being Earnest, now playing at the Arvada Center, is a delicious piece of writing — a verbal playground you wouldn’t want to add a single word to or subtract a single word from. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean it can’t be compromised by a less-than-perfect production. Luckily, this new mounting,...
M.I.A. is back with a video for her newest single “Bad Girls.” The British/Sri Lankan singer heads to Morocco for the video and gets her James Dean on, letting director Romain Gavris (who also directed the controversial “Born Free”) illustrate one of the many ways that she can “Live fast, die young/bad girls do it...
Ahhh, the adopted persona…everybody’s got some sort of shtick. Maybe you’re a “that’s what she said” guy or you make funny noises a lot to entertain people. You like to pull quarters out of people’s ears or can switch hit between foreign accents for hours on end. There are tons of occasions when the shtick...
2012 is already off to a good start. I scored on some major end-of-season sales, found out I was going to New York Fashion Week and now am looking two fab fast fashion collabs in the face. The first is Karl Lagerfeld’s new line for major e-tailer Net-a-Porter. The collection, deemed KARL (because when you’re...
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA) is gracing Colorado yet again on March 11th at The Fox.

But don’t worry if you missed out—next week 303 and Cafe Brazil are teaming up again, this time to celebrate the restaurant’s 20th year anniversary in business. Look forward...
Before this morning, Pilates was, to me, just a lot of crunches with little pulses, or leg lifts with little pulses or arm circles with little pulses. I had done a couple Pilates DVDs, and, sure, I could feel the burn sometimes, but it didn’t interest me much. But when Ansley Watson, owner of Joie...
January is over. So does that mean it’s safe to talk about resolutions without being cliche? The point is, I’m a fiction snob. When I pick up a book, I expect a good story and I want to be lifted out of my world into another one. That’s the brilliance of books–their ability to carry...
Remember when we used to socialize by picking up the phone, punching in numbers, and talking to someone via our larynx? Me neither… Cue social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. People continue to jump on the social networking bandwagon, but few people take the precautionary steps to protect themselves from hackers and spam. Luckily...
Lotus is coming to town–get your jammy pants on. The electronic rock group hits the Fillmore Auditorium stage on Saturday; Denver, it’s time to get your bliss fix. 303 caught up with two members of the organically charged band, Mike Rempel (guitar) and Jesse Miller (bass) and learned about the origins of Lotus and how they’ve blossomed into their...
While fashion is always something to get excited about, supporting local fashion for a cause is even more inspiring.
