Wu-Tang Clan – Denver* – July 4, 2025

Run the Jewels was the opening act.

Excellent show. 10/10

From a review of their Ft. Worth show:

24. Energy stew. All night RZA has been our master of ceremonies, conducting the crowd and getting us to participate in certain songs. After U-God and RZA called out different sections of the arena for their energy, RZA said, “Let’s take all that energy and put it together in one big energy stew. And we gonna take you back to that ‘90s hip-hop and make your energy just explode!” The beat for “4th Chamber” came in. It turned the place up.

25. Cappadonna is having the best night. In every verse Cappadonna did, he rapped with more intensity and heart. RZA has instructed us to ball our negative energy into a fist, open our hands to release it and make a chopping motion like an axe to chop up the bullshit. It set up Cappadonna’s “Run” nicely, which now instructed us to keep it moving when things get sticky.

The Hot Wing King – Denver Center for the Performing Arts

On the eve of the annual “Hot Wang Festival” in Memphis, Tennessee, Cordell Crutchfield thinks he has finally found a recipe that will land him the coveted title of Hot Wang King. He has assembled a raucous team of sous chefs, comprised of his beau Dwayne and close friends Big Charles and Isom. The four-man team is cooking with plenty of spice and innuendo on prep night until a family emergency thrusts Dwayne’s troubled nephew into the mix. Tensions boil over into heated arguments — and one team member starts messing with Cordell’s secret sauce.  

With the crown, prize money, and their relationship on the line, Cordell and Dwayne are forced to reckon with what it means to be a Black man, a father figure, and part of a loving family. Winner of the 2021 Pulitzer Prize, The Hot Wing King by Katori Hall is a boisterous, in-your-face dramedy that is guaranteed to leave you salivating for a second helping.  

NOTE – Highly Recommended

Denver – How Cool Are We?

Move over New York City, Chicago and Miami — it turns out Denver is cooler than them all.

Denver was named the sixth coolest city in the United States in a new ranking from Betway. The online gambling company analyzed the fifty most populated cities in North America based on “key factors associated with being cool.”

What makes a city cool? Apparently, vegan restaurants, record stores and tattoo parlors, among other factors.

Boston earned the number one spot on the list, followed by Las Vegas, Portland, San Francisco and Seattle from second to fifth place. Rounding out the top ten after sixth-place Denver are Nashville, Washington D.C., Detroit and Los Angeles.
