Divorce – Denver Style.
That’s what Divorce In Denver magazine is all about. Now in its third issue, the ‘zine has been selling more than 20,000 copies with each outing. There’s a lotta hurt out there.
Former TV sports anchor Mike Nolan graced the premiere issue. Models posed in bed for the second issue for a story titled “Sex with Your Ex.” Mag founder/editor Cyndee Rae poses with her dog on the current issue for the tale “Pets & Divorce.” The next issue, due out in July, has KYGO jock and comedian Steve “Mudflap” McGrew on the cover.
“We have exciting covers that don’t have to be high-profile,” says Rae. “We’re doing stories on a private investigator and ‘When Grandma Gets Divorced.”‘
When Rae started the mag, people told her she was crazy. That was in January – and the magazine is already in the black.
Divorce is important. Like my mother said: “A good divorce is more important than a good marriage. It lasts longer.”
Sound advice
The DeafWest signed production of “Big River,” at the Buell through May 22, made big noise about the I-Caption, a hand-held wireless device that displays dialogue and lyrics in real time. Stories in The Denver Post and The Rocky hyped the device, noting that it was free and available in the lobby.
Only one problem. The company brought only 10 of the devices. Ten. For an audience that could easily include hundreds of hearing-impaired patrons at each performance.
DENVER Live!
Seems that guy videotaping folks at restaurants and clubs around town for a TV pilot called “DENVER Live!” is on the level. Jeff Schinker, a vet sports shooter for the Rockies and Nugs, is peddling the show about Denver’s after-dark scene. I thought he was just using the camera to meet women (the comely Andreia Samarjian and Margo Crum tried out to be hosts of the show). Schinker had mentioned Fox to participants, but Fox 31 is definitely not interested, says GM Bill Dallman. However, Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain GM Tim Griggs says he’s prepared to see the pilot. “If it’s good enough and it fits, we’ll take a close look into it.”
Schinker has an appointment with the station this week and hopes to get it on the air, someplace, soon.
