That’ll show ‘em EVERGREEN – eir “polite” relationship with Mr. Nextdoor changed a few months ago, Mr. and Mrs. de la Renta told deputies on July 9, when they applied to the county for a short-term rental permit on their property. Mr. Nextdoor didn’t like that, something he made clear often and audibly, threatening to “sue us” the rst time he detected short-term renters in residence. To emphasize his point, or something, Mr. Nextdoor had taken to “mowing the lawn next to the street” in front of the de la Renta’s house, a liberty that the de la Rentas frequently and forcefully discouraged. e couple didn’t want more trouble than they already had, and hoped a stern word from JCSO would keep Mr. Nextdoor nextdoor. O cers advised Mr. Nextdoor to leave the de la Rentas, and their lawn, alone.

Hostage situation

EVERGREEN – Wife locked herself in the bathroom and refused to open the door to Husband. As Husband and Wife had long since resolved to dissolve the legal ties that bind, Husband didn’t particularly care if Wife didn’t want to see him. On the other hand, he really needed to get into the bathroom. Husband told Wife he needed to get a shower before work. Wife said she didn’t care if Husband went to work stinky. Husband asked Wife to at least hand out the iron so he could put a business-like edge on his ensemble. Wife told him to go to work in wrinkled clothes. Husband asked Wife what she was doing in the bathroom that was so all- red important that he had to leave the house unkempt. Wife explained that she was going through his cell phone messages looking for evidence of indelity. Husband summoned JCSO deputies, who artfully engineered a temporary détente. Surrendering Husband’s cell phone, Wife agreed to leave the bathroom long enough for Husband to get cleaned and leave for work, then pack a few belongings and leave for her mother’s house. With the bathroom nally open, o cers closed the case. open space adjacent to Our Lady of the Pines Church, 9444 EagleCli Drive in Conifer, the fundraiser features live music from Who’s omas, Captain Quirk, Magoo the Band and Sam Gyllenhall Band.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Strokes at Red Rocks e Strokes are one of the most important bands of this century, and their debut album, “Is is It” radically reshaped the direction of indie and alternative rock. I’ve pretty much loved all the group’s albums in their own way, and even if they don’t have the critical success they used to, they’re still legends that demand attention.

“A Local Service”

It’s the festival’s 15th year and it is bigger than ever, with some truly incredible lms getting screened over its run at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, from ursday, Aug. 10 through Sunday, Aug. 13. Some of the highlights include “Chasing Chasing Amy,” “Bottoms,” “Our Son” and “Problemista.”

As is always the case with Denver Film, there will be great panels with lmmakers and other creatives. Get e group doesn’t tour often and so the fact that they’re playing Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 14, is a massive deal. Despite the fact they’ve been around for 20 years, they’ve never played the mythical venue before, so this is going to be a special evening. ey’ll be joined by alt-rock vocalist Weyes Blood as the opener.
