Livelong Days
What's happening this week in the big city-- highlights from our listings.
Ed Jones and his interesting offer
Ran into none other than state Sen. Ed Jones at the Ritz a few days ago. Ed, toupee only slightly askew, was sittin' at the bar with Sarah Jack and Bob Gardner, both of whom did a lot to get Ed elected last November.
Landscape and light
A typical southeastern Wyoming landscape may seem anything but inspiring.

Letters
Readers of the Independent talk back to the editor
Jazz hand
Dancing at a jazz concert may be unfamiliar to traditional jazz listeners but it's par for the course when John Scofield takes the stage.
IQ: Feeling queasy
People are starting to get sick about the sky-high cost of health care in this country. Sooner or later, someone has to take the public's temperature seriously.
Movie milliner
You might call Tom Hirt a throwback to a bygone era -- when wranglers and cowboys took care of business with their bare hands.
A walk in the dark
In my neighborhood, the funky eastern neighbor of the splendid old North End of Colorado Springs, we sacrifice our view of the mountains when summer comes.
Food & Drink
Rockin' Rice
I love finding a new restaurant, discovering that the food is good and spreading the word. I like helping the "little guys" get a boost whenever I can. It's like sharing a secret with everyone who reads the Indy.
Music
Playing Around: Black Rose
There's something so je ne sais quoi about the thought of a live music series in the quad at a private boarding school in the Broadmoor.
Mayall is in la casa
There is nothing better than rockin' out for a good cause, especially when legendary blues guit-slinger John Mayall is in the house.
Film
Crazy little thing called love
This teen first-love story is clumsy and scattershot at times, but is smart and funny throughout and is a respectable entry into the teen sex genre.

Busby Berkeley dreams
Do you have to have a master's degree in pretense to watch this @#!&," a friend of mine asked when I showed him a short segment of Cremaster Cycle, artist Matthew Barney's five-part film series that will be screened at the Starz Filmcenter in Denver during the first two weeks in August.
Books
Contemplating Culture
It would be a minor tragedy if a title this cool wound up sucking.
