    / Comments (2)

    One up-and-coming Pitmaster is about to get his dream shot — to go head-to-head with a BBQ Legend. Will he face Myron Mixon, Tuffy Stone or Johnny Trigg? He won't find out until moments before the competition.

    Over the course of 8 hours, they’ll cook head-to-head in three delicious categories — with host Marc Ryan throwing in a few twists along the way. Pride, the ultimate BBQ bragging rights and the Smoked championship belt are on the line. An expert judging panel will decide their fate. Who will stand tall — and who's gonna get Smoked? Smoked is produced by Citizen Pictures for Destination America. The one-hour special, part of Meat Week, fittingly premieres on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27.

  • The Agency Post Interviews Dave Schiff, Chief Creative Officer of Boulder's Made Movement

    / Comments (0)

    "It’s crazy how well the agency and the store work together. I wish we could say we planned it that way, but that would be bullshit. We fell into it. But the truth is having a store bolted to an agency does some very cool things. For instance, it allows you to do market research. We sent out a dozen questions to our shopping community and got 2,000 responses in two hours. Then we turned those into a white paper and walked it over to our clients. That makes you very smart as an agency. And of course, we have familiarity with consumers we never would, so we can talk to our clients a little more as peers instead of being “the agency people” who don’t understand life in the retail trenches. Then there’s looking at it the other way — having an agency bolted to a store. Which, of course, has huge advantages, too."

  • New Photo Essay by Andrew Pogue: Colorado's Modern Architecture Before the Winter Thaw

    / Comments (4)

    "Pristine," by Denver photographer Andrew Pogue, is a new photo series in Modern In Denver Magazine featuring modern houses and commercial buildings in Colorado waiting for spring. Andrew is the third photographer MID is featuring in their artist series that gives photographers free reign to capture anything they wish.

    Andrew trudged through Aspen to snap the award-winning UR2 House. His fingers froze waiting for the perfect light — inside and out — at the Piampiano residence in Woody Creek. And he dared head north to capture the lonely Wyoming Welcome Center, designed by Denver’s own AndersonMasonDale Architects. He left no footprints.

    / Comments (0)

    Denver designer Mackey Saturday is opening a new retail shop called Steadbrook in Baker on Broadway this Saturday, May 25th.

    "The principle behind Steadbrook is simple; why always go to the coasts for lifestyle and fashion, we can be influencers right at home. Steadbrook is where friends meet, shop a curated offering of clothing + lifestyle goods, enjoy exclusive coffees, and always feel welcome. By offering a variety of brands not normally accessible within the Denver scene, we hope to make these driving ideas and superb quality products more accessible to our community. More than that, we want a place where you can always go to catch up with friends, sit and enjoy conversations with like minded people, and let your creativity and personality thrive."
