Looking for a cheap date and an easy way to convince her you’re bangable? Do the mon-keys throw poo in the cold? What happens to the alligators who sit in the water all the time after it freezes? Where do ostriches stick their heads when the ground gets too cold? Prob-ably not where the sun doesn’t shine. But who knows, the animal kingdom is a strange place. These are good questions to ask yourself as you wander around the Denver Zoo while the rest of Denver stays inside.

Before you engulf turkey, mashed potatoes, gravey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green-bean casserole, pumpkin pie, ice cream and God knows what else you can find in the kitchen, it might be in your best interest to go for a job before hand. Coincidentally, the Mile High United Way’s Turkey Trot starts early and only lasts for four miles. This leaves plenty of time to eat, be jolly and realize your uncle should never be invited back to Thanksgiving again.

Slow walk stage left, sudden turn to face the camera, Bond shoots you in the head. Almost every single James Bond movie has started this way since the beginning of time. When you go to Boettcher hall and listen to the Music of James Bond, just close your eyes and imagine this scene, or any other number of scenes in which Bond he gets the girl, kills the bad guy and makes a narrow escape, or all three. Usu-ally one of these things leads to the rest, but this is Bond like you’ve never heard it.

Colorado ski & snowboard Expo/rocky Mountain BrewfestWhen nov. 2-4Where Colorado Convention Center, denverCost $12 for expo, $24 for both

The 21st annual Ski & Snowboard expo is the place to go to snag sweet deals on last year’s gear. This is top-notch, quality stuff. If that wasn’t enough, the expo is coupled with the 2nd annual Rocky Mountain Brewfest. You have to buy a ticket to the expo to get a ticket to the brewfest to keep the

real alcoholics away from the beer. It’s to keep it classy: Only legit drinkers can do so and hit the powder. Tingle your taste buds with dozens of craft beers: The ticket gets you three tastes and a full beer. Not to worry, you’re free to buy as much of your favorites as the slopes can handle.

Strap on your basketball shoes, and get ready to push little kids out of the way for some free candy and other awesome parade shit. Seriously, we do not condone pushing children, but if they get in the way, they had it coming. Imbibe beforehand and enjoy a potentially frosty night watching lights stream by as children frolick and you steal candy from babies. Don’t walk with the parade, because it will last a really, really long time. Walk the other way however and you get dibs on sweet prizes but don’t have to wait as long for it to end.

After that huge meal that you probably ate, you need to work off some of those extra pounds. This is not the place to do that, unless you count walking around and gawking. By all means, gawk, let your eyes wander over other people’s hobbies. Car shows are a hobby most of us will never be able to afford, much less participate in. Those old, classic hot rods take work to keep in pristine condition. You can barley even keep yourself in shape, much less a beautiful automobile.

starz denver film festivalWhen nov. 1-11Where denver film CenterCost $12

Denver, the city that has it all, also boasts its own film festival. This 10-day extravaganza offers visitors the opportunity to watch as many mov-ies as they can fit into their sched-ules. Enjoy foreign films, indie movies, documentaries, animated movies and pretty much everything in between. There are movies from 38 countries — including this one, of course — covering pretty much any genre and subject you can imagine. If you consider yourself a true film buff, get a ticket. Like romance movies, crime movies, Mexican films, mystery or Mexican mystery films? You should also get

a ticket. Consider yourself a hipster and really enjoy experimental films? You should ... well, maybe you don’t need a ticket. Go get real pants and stop embarrassing yourself. If you do, don’t worry, it’s November, so it will be pretty cool. Not all of the movies are full length, some are as few as eight minutes, and others as long as 130 minutes. You will probably do a lot of sitting at this event, so do yourself a favor and don’t smoke too much. If you do fall asleep, they won’t give you a refund. No word so far on how much outside food they will let you bring in.

Face it, your philosophy degree isn’t going to get you enough money in a lifetime to go to space. Dream on in Gates Planetarium’s trip to the outer limits where new developments and discoveries in space are documented through state of the art animation and images.

Minus the BearSummit Music Hall

TAGT offers new-age fun with a vintage feel. Cute, cuddly Danish singer Mette Lindberg’s resound-ing voice paired with her cheeky brass-backed band’s always-re-sounding tunes sounds like Lykke Li joined the B52’s.

He comes in peace bearing gifts of synth, glitch and echoey samples from a futuristic space nation. Who would have guessed Poland would be the first to colonize Mars? Take that Nazis. Polish Ambassador wins.

Homegrown, 100-percent certi-fied organic, all-natural H4TH will satisfy the appetite of even the pickiest of Coloradans. Rich fla-vors of bluegrass, acoustic blues and a hint of rock and roll: Four out of five doctors recommend it.

Indubitably a master of downtem-po, Emancipator takes chill out to a new level. Nobody else would have thought to mash up Sigur Ros and Mobb Deep. Check out his remix of “Forgiveness” by Ned’s own Elephant Revival.

If Johnny Depp dropped a ton of acid and knew how to slap-a-dat bass, you might confuse him with Les Claypool. Primus’ heavily distorted, rolling bass lines lay the framework for a Dr. Seuss-style 3-D parallel universe.

It’s all about that sweet sweet sensi, ya know? If you can decipher Caribbean Patois, you may be able to understand what Collie Buddz is actually saying, otherwise get baked and enjoy the beats. Jah Rastafari!

These indie rockers boast just enough prog-rock/electro-pop to keep from being too angsty. Spacey reverb and echoed riffs create drifting melodic atmo-spheres brought back to Earth with Jake Snider’s vocals.

Archnemesis Bluebird TheaterWhen Justin Aubuchon (M.O. Theory) and Curt Heiny (Tele-path) combine, their powers become Archnemesis: the bane of all existence to haters and shitty music. These guys sample everything, including old-school jazz, blues and hip-hop ... with a little Sound Tribe in between.

DStylzA Philly infusion hits Denver hip-hop.

Commonplace mainstream hip-hop, and the general percep-tion that goes along with it, has produced a skewed view of what hip-hop really is. Imagine what the pioneers of the scene would say now about what the music has become.

However, Fort Collins is proud to boast a new addition to the canon, a man out to change the status quo and add a much-wanted sound to the Front Range’s musical smorgasbord. Meet D-Stylz.

Once on a full-ride drum line scholarship to Adams State College, David Gittings is using his lyrical skills and ambitions to set a new tone for hip-hop. He’s shared stages with Afroman, Raekwon, Wu-Tang, Logic and Mac Miller. If you’ve never heard of him before, you have now.

To describe the sound of Philadelphia-born D-Stylz is to describe a sound that has been lost to hip-hop over the years. Thought it’s a slippery slope to use already known artists when describing a new sound, it’s safe to say D-Stylz flows like the Beastie Boys, recalls the remnant lyrical shuffle of Busta Rhymes and sprinkles Jay-Z style on top. Listen for yourself; personal interpretation encouraged.

Combining forces with established Fort Collins DJ Macy Paradise, hailing from Buffalo, N.Y., the two have made local waves with a handful of tour dates set for the coming months. And why are these two on the forefront? Gittings put it plainly when talking about current hip-hop: “I cannot listen to the radio anymore: It’s constant repeats of the same song with no substance.” The mes-sage of D-Stylz’s music is positive. Don’t think Will Smith; just music that gets away from the standards of today’s hip-hop: embellishment and grandeur.

D-Stylz’s musical influences came from his humble Philadelphia back-ground. His grandfather introduced him to Notorius BIG and NWA. One of his earliest musical memories is being bounced on his mother’s leg as she listened to Motown with the family. Gittings said he considers family a major influence, accrediting them his with success he has had thus far in music.

DJ Macy Paradise brings a caliber of showmanship to the duo’s shows. So

often the DJ is just the man spinning the track, but there is so much more to be heard from performers who share true chemistry.

“People will feel much more than the song, I want them to feel me,” Stylz says. “Every show that happens. We try to show them something they have never seen before or expect ... I go up for a performance and people are thinking ,‘Who is this random opener?’ not feeling it, but once I start rapping, mouths are dropping. Proving people wrong.”

Paradise said their greatest asset is the way they incorporate each other’s sound.

“When people go to that first live show, when you see someone get down, and you’re like, ‘Holy shit, that changed my per-ception and life,’ it’s because someone rocked so hard that people get that feeling.”

D-Stylz’s lyrics are uplifting, aiming to inspire and fill the void left by me-diocre hip-hop; his part in hip-hop’s Renaissance is aimed at the issues facing his audience today.

Gittings’ passion and commitment to the people around him — and to music itself — is clear.

“Hip-Hop is not dead, it’s jaded,” he says. “Rap in general is negative right now. I cannot name too many artists that make me want to go out there and be somebody.”

D-Stylz does. Take two hits, go to the show and get ready to have your world rocked.

He’s shared stages with Afroman, Raekwon, Wu-Tang, Logic and Mac Miller. If you’ve never heard of him before, you have now.

Writers

America is a sports country. The competition, the shit talking, the feeling of belonging and a chance to drink early in the morning without be-ing judged are some of the reasons we flock to sporting events each year donning flags, giant fin-gers, jerseys and flasks of peppermint schnapps. When teams lose, we cry. When teams win, we cry. When we spill our $12 beer, we cry.

Sports carry an inviting passion. A passion so strong we endure the toughest elements for a chance to see a great game. A passion so strong, we tattoo team logos on our bodies as a sign of un-wavering dedication. A passion so strong, we will buy car insurance because Aaron Rogers appears in a commercial. This issue is about the passion of sports and the one common denominator among all fans, tailgating.

With our hopes of winning the office’s fantasy football league in the toilet, we’ve taken to the new pastime: tailgating. It eases the pain and heals the wounds of knowing the intern is going to win the pool. But tailgating takes on many shapes and forms. With the help from our reluctant and skepti-cal intern, we highlighted new products available to the most ardent fans in the game. Yes, we used our intern as the guinea pig. And what tailgate wouldn’t be complete without a tasty malt bever-age to wash down the brats? Our malt beverage correspondent tested and reviewed today’s new-est lines of malt beverages so you won’t have to (thank us later). And finally, to accommodate that Blueberry Pomegranate Colt 45 Blast malt beverage, we provide you with an assortment of articles that are much funnier when read under the influence.

Like our last relationship, Sports come with con-troversy. Although athletes make millions of dollars each year, they have the financial and social prow-ess of a baby goat and tend to make decisions not in their best interest, and definitely not in the best interest of devoted fans. Luckily for you, we’ve documented these falls from greatness in this is-sue: Michael Vick’s doggie daycare pales in com-parison to other athlete decisions.

As always, enjoy the issue, keep dreaming and keep learning. One word sums up why we almost missed print deadline this month: Homeland. Watch it. You’ll understand why.

Yours Truly,Simon Berger

Dear Rooster,

I had never read your magazine before, but my sister recently returned home to Wisconsin from her trip to Colorado, bringing with her the October issue of Rooster. As I was read-ing it, I noticed you forgot a right quotation mark in one of Ron Jeremy's quotes on page 62. At first, I wasn't going to mention this at all because I didn't want to be a dick, but then I saw another error on page 69 in the article "What It Takes to Campaign These Days" that, as a Wisconsinite, I cannot ignore. The article reads "...their failed bid to oust Minnesota Gov. Scott Walker." Scott Walker is the governor of Wisconsin, not Minnesota. Again, I'm really not trying to be a dick, I swear. I think you have a great publication and it offers some-thing straightforward beyond the normal free publication. It's just that you got a fact wrong about my state.

—Aaron

Dear Rooster,

Love your magazine, but seriously, Boulder bar pics have gone downhill.

—MegDear Rooster,

I couldn’t even read your last cover story. I began reading it but it was too much. I know you push the envelope but both candidates in bed and having the most sexual interview pos-sible? Really? I still love you guys, even when it’s obvious you have issues.

—Ryan

Dear Rooster,

I had to write in about my stupidity after I truly thought you did an interview with the candi-dates. I quickly realized that was not the case. I should have guessed. Keep up the good work and maybe next election you WILL have an interview with the candidates.

Embarrassed reader, Joanna
