Colorado Rockies 20th Anniversary Opening Day

Rockies fans of all ages piled into Coors Field on Friday, April 5, 2013, to celebrate opening day of the Colorado Rockies 20^th season. Purple shirts, purple ball caps, and even purple mohawks were seen amongst the crowd on Blake St as thousands of fans awaited the opening game against the San Diego Padres. The Hazel Miller Band entertained a crowd, while baseball throwing booths lined the street. The original line-up of the 1993 Rockies players even made an appearance to celebrate 20 years of success.

The Rockies are a very young team compared to most baseball teams in America. They have had to overcome devastating losses but also have been able to celebrate outstanding wins in only two decades. On April 5, they beat the Padres 5-2, with a sea of purple cheering them on, a sea that will never cease to support their team, the Colorado Rockies.

Raze / Raise - A Jeff Page Exhibit

     Hidden among the many buildings on Auraria Campus, many mistake the Emmanuel Gallery for a church.  In 1973 this historic church became part of the Auraria Campus and was transformed into an art gallery.  Currently Jeff Page, a Denver native, has a 14 piece exhibit showing until September 6th.  Page's work embodies the gay male subculture of Denver.  Most of these pieces are made of latex, pelts, and human hair.  

     The main attraction is the Raze the Roof piece that stands in the middle of the gallery.  This wooden structure, made of wood, acrylic, latex rubber, and human hair, allows the viewer to create their own meaning.  When standing near this piece of art, sound bites are heard in a loop.  Page recorded his creative process while making this exhibit, he also recorded sounds from various gay night clubs around Denver.  These recordings echo throughout the gallery creating an ambiance of loneliness in a crowd. 

   I encourage anyone in the area to check out this exhibit while they can.  Jeff Page will give a speech at the end of the exhibit on September 6.
