"Those B cycle riders are almost as dangerous as the spandex warriors," says Yosh, in response to Bree Davie's rant about the Cherry Creek Bike Path. This Memorial Day weekend, Denver's parks and trails will be filled with people -- many of them very hazardous to your health.

Who are the most dangerous weekend warriors? B-cycle riders? Spandex cyclists? Or...

On Tuesday, artist Kyle Banister and a crew of Southwest Airlines employees and students from the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design spent four hours creating a masterpiece. And just a few minutes later, it was gone.

The Colfax Marathon always includes plenty of entertainment: end-or-race parties, streetside viewing at the Irish Snug, and this year a scooter parade. But when you're on the run, it's the very little things that count, as Rebecca Aronauer points out in her "Colfax Marathon Dispatch," with the top ten things she learned on the last fourteen miles of the race.

Time magazine started the whole thing, with a cover that featured a toddler smirking like a teenager while latched onto his mother's breast. The cover story, on attachment parenting, inspired a response from both Westword writer Jef Otte, who thinks attachment parenting sucks, and local comic Andrew Orvedahl, who doesn't. The two faced off first on the web, where they argued attachment parenting, and then in person on Sunday night.

The movies for the 2012 Film on the Rocks summer lineup at Red Rocks Amphitheatre -- many of them picked by the people, for the people -- were announced Friday night, and don't blame the Denver FilmCenter if you don't like The Notebook.

"It wasn't just because this seems to be the year of Ryan Gosling," says Karla Rodriguez, FOTW audience development and social media manager. "It's because The Notebook has been one of our top five most-requested films consistently since it came out. From crowd surveys to Facebook polls, this is what the people want."

.Creeped out by last week's TIME cover story about attachment parenting, Jef Otte penned an essay for the Village Voice about how much attachment parenting sucks and posted it to his wall. As it happened, local comic and 2012 Westword MasterMind Andrew Orvedahl had penned his own essay on how much non-attachment parenting sucks, which he then posted to Otte's wall. At that point, it was clear that there was only one way to settle our differences: the old-fashioned way. With a wrestling match.

But instead, Otte and Orvedahl will debate the issue at 10 p.m. Sunday at the Vine Street Pub.

Except we're a couple of weaklings and would both most likely somehow lose, and while it would at least be interesting to see the only wrestling match in history to end with two losers, we instead settled on a different time-honored method of settling grievances between nerds: a spirited debate. Gentlemen, and when I say gentlemen I mean including

Andy Kelso and Mamie Parris in Wicked.

Wicked will end its run in Denver on May 20, and when the touring show goes, Colorado native Andy Kelso, who plays Fiyero, the hedonistic prince who becomes the third point in a love triangle with the two leading ladies, will go with it.

"The Buell is where I first saw my big 'Broadway' shows," Kelso told Show and Tell, "so to play the theater is a dream come true."

Edie Winograde's "Battle on the Little Big Horn."

You're not going to see Edie Winograde's "Battle on the Little Big Horn" at History Colorado, or any of the other pieces that graced the recent Appropriated: The Chronicled West at the Robishon Gallery, the show organized by husband-and-wife team Jim Robischon and Jennifer Doran, who pulled together contemporary art with a Western edge.

Wrote Michael Paglia, "Owing to its large size and the high quality of its offerings, Robischon could easily be mistaken for a small museum -- you know, the way the History Colorado Center could be mistaken for a Dave & Buster's."

"Comics and sci-fi are the new archetypes of our culture; we relate to Star Wars and Stan Lee's characters, and we've created new mythologies through them," says Dan Landes, restaurateur and self-confessed sci-fi geek. And on May 4, Landes's City, O' City hosted a full-on orgy of nerdness with the May the Fourth Be With You sci-fi costume party.

But one commenter wasn't thrilled with the results, as shown in our May the Fourth Be With You slide show.
