Dr. Bang Bang. More pics below.

This week's feature, "Paging Doctor Bang Bang," tells the story of Kimmy Kimmy Bang Bang, a.k.a. Kim Wilms, a foot-and-ankle surgeon by profession and a badass blocker and jammer on the track with the Denver Roller Dolls. Wilms doubles as the roller derby league's unofficial in-house doctor, assisting skaters with the sprains and bruises that come with playing the fast-paced contact sport. Over the past two years, she's also operated on several skaters' broken ankles.

Some of the injuries were especially gruesome -- and we've collected photos of them for you, dear reader.

Late last month, a CSU block party in Fort Collins deteriorated into a riot.

Weeks later, the cops aren't willing to let bygones be bygones. They've released photos of seven suspects wanted in connection with the incident and are offering rewards for those who know about their whereabouts.

See them below, and learn more about the bash via a slew of videos and more from our original coverage, seen below in its entirety.

Denver recently finished tenth in Motovo's list of the ten nerdiest American cities; see the complete roster below. And while that's quite an accomplishment, we have a feeling the Mile High City's number will rise thanks to a couple of big upcoming events: Denver Comic Con 2013, which starts May 31, and Nan Desu Kan, slated for September 13.

To bolster our argument, we've assembled nerdtastic photos from last year's DCC and NDK. Check them out -- and get prepared for even wilder looks in 2013.

There have been a lot of weird assemblages on the steps of the State Capitol. But few have been stranger than the group that gathered there yesterday for a rally marking Colorado Tourism Day. Those represented included Governor John Hickenlooper, Miss Colorado Hannah Porter and so many random mascots for area sports teams, schools and institutions that passersby can be forgiven for mistaking the event for the upcoming Rocky Mountain Fur Con. Our Danielle Lirette was on hand to witness the spectacle. Check out her photos and captions below.

We're all accustomed to seeing fliers on light poles alerting the populace to missing dogs or cats.

But a missing mohawk? For a Volkswagen?

Yep. In my neighborhood -- Ken Caryl Ranch -- a sweet Bug previously outfitted with a simulated mohawk has been scalped, and the owner, quite understandably, wants it back, since it means a lot not only to the VW's family, but also the City of Littleton (!). Do you know where to find this particular hair apparent? Check out the full poster below.

Early this month, a Huffington Post writer called Colorado the fifth most overrated travel destination on the planet. That claim struck us as utter nonsense, but we understand why there might be some backlash. After all, the state has inspired some of the most gorgeous and memorable travel posters for decades.

Look below to check out twenty that caught our eye. They're so striking those of you from out of state may book flights here immediately, no matter what some HuffPo moron might say.

Earlier this month, we featured a gallery of photos from Denver Broncos cheerleader tryouts -- and it didn't take long for supervisors to assemble a winning team for this next season. We've got the first squad photo below.

But that's not all. A number of slots opened up because several longtime cheerleaders are moving on. We've assembled photos of those moving on, along with their goodbye messages to fans.

First up: Your 2013-2014 Broncos cheerleaders:

As you might expect, William Breathes, the solar system's first medical marijuana critic and overseer of our sister Toke of the Town blog, was everywhere on 4/20 weekend. And he brought his camera with him.

Before Saturday's 4/20 rally dissolved into chaos after shots were fired, injuring three, Breathes captured a slew of memorable images, including several shots that capture the moment when thousands at Civic Center Park jointly created one of the largest marijuana clouds in recent memory. Check out the gallery below.

LenDale White.

Sean Azzariti (who we've featured in this space in the past) is a veteran of the Iraq War, medical marijuana patient, an advocate for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress who want to be able to use cannabis to help them cope, and a cannabis enthusiast.

Azzariti also happens to be an NFL fan, and this past weekend, he spotted free agent running back LenDale White inside the medical marijuana patient area of the High Times Cannabis Cup. And White was cool enough to stop and take a picture with Azzariti. Larger version below.
