😜 Are You a Sexpert?

Looking for a trivia night with a twist? Justine is co-hosting Sex Trivia at Cheluna Brewery on Sept. 10, 6 to 8 p.m.. Create your dream team of up to six people, come up with a cheeky name, then make a $75 donation (benefitting the Cobalt Abortion Fund) to hold your table! There are prizes for trivia winners, most creative name, and the team that raises the most money for the Cobalt Abortion Fund. Start studying ya freaks!

🖼️ A Spin on First Fridays

If you want to switch up your First Friday routine, head over to the Art Walk in 40 West Arts District! The district is home to over 40 arts and cultural organizations. Bree recommends checking out Kym Bloom Art + Photography for cool prints and photos, and popping in Vinegar Syndrome across the parking lot for some VHS nostalgia.

🏅Creekside Hangs in Golden

After walking along Clear Creek or checking out shops on Miner Street, stop in to the Golden Mill in Golden for a great family (and dog) friendly lunch! Featuring a tap wall with lots of local beers and bevs, plus local eats and even ice cream, this place is the perfect patio escapade to enjoy during an afternoon in Golden. Justine says it’s the “perfect place for kids, dogs, non-drinkers, and everyone!”

🧆 Hummus To Go!

Wish you could take a big container of hummus to go from your fave restaurant? Now you can at Shish Kabob Grill in Capitol Hill! Yummy spreads like Rich ‘n Silky Hummus, Zingy ‘n Zesty Garlic Dip, and Smoky ‘n Savory Baba Ghanouj are available to take home in 8 or 16oz containers. Happy dipping!
