Different kind of street cred. Friday
Since the popularization of digital audio editing software, the shift from analog to digital has been visible, even in the garage-iest of garage bands.
If you know how to rock, you have to know how to edit you music on a computer, too.
You’ll tell your kids about it someday.
The Apple Store in Cherry Creek Mall offers a free workshop in mixing your own music on your computer – a cost-effective way to produce your own music from home.
No experience necessary! Stop singing in the shower. Start using your computer.
What: GarageBand Workshop
Where: The Apple Store, Cherry Creek Mall, 5 p.m.
Cost: free

Blimey! It’s ye olde Renaissance Festival! Saturday
The Renaissance Festival is just one of those things.
It’s dirty, crowded, hot, and can often emit a certain odor from the elephant pen, which leads one to ask – were there elephants in England during the Renaissance?
But you have to go. Every year, you have to go eat funnel cakes, and drink mead, and go see Puke & Snot, and shoot arrows, and look at ladies in corsets and men in rope sandals and capes.
Look, I don’t know who made the rule.
I just know that everyone’s required to go at least once a summer.
What: The Colorado Renaissance Festival
Where: Larkspur, June 11-July 31

The heart of the South. All Weekend
South Denver, that is.
The weekend (and Fridays, as it were) on South Pearl Street offers an eclectic mix of vendor booths and a perfect backdrop for summer strolling – conducive for one to ‘mosey.’
Vendor booths range in products from goat cheese to handmade soaps, flax seeds to sno-cones, and farmer’s market goods to boot.
The shops are open, people are out, and somewhere in the mix, you’re there, silently thanking me for the tip.
What: Old South Pearl Street Market
Where: Pearl & Iowa, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
