Evolve and Pfizer cutting workers in Denver and Boulder

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:58:21 GMT

Denver-based Evolve is letting go of another 175 workers just four months after it dismissed 164 workers in response to a big drop-off in the vacation home rental market.The company, which describes itself as the “fastest-growing vacation rental hospitality company in North America,” manages properties on behalf of 30,000 owners and has hosted 10 million guests, according to its website.September’s job reduction, representing about a fifth of the staff, is part of a larger transition called Evolve 3.0 that Brian Egan, co-founder and CEO, described in a letter to employees last month.Egan said as he was scrutinizing how resources at the company were allocated — “every dollar and every hour, both payroll and non-payroll, all of it” — he realized he had to go beyond the millions of dollars in non-payroll savings and reduce the headcount.“The hard truth is that while we have a talented, hard-working and passionate team, and the vast majori...

Evictions surge in Denver as council members, advocates call for aid

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:58:21 GMT

Deborah Self couldn’t stand the sound of her ringtone any longer. She silenced it last week, easing the dread of yet another call from a Coloradan on the verge of eviction. She didn’t need the shrill notification to do her job. Someone in need is always on the other line. Her phone rarely leaves her ear.Self, a housing navigator at Colorado Housing Connects, works from home answering some 50 calls a day to help people search for affordable housing, rental assistance, or tenant and landlord mediation. The organization has seen a nearly 60% spike in calls from the same time last year.“There’s a whole range of emotions when people call,” Self said. “A lot of people are crying. There are occasionally people who are angry and they direct it toward us, but it’s nothing to do with us. I’m pretty good at de-escalating. I try to calm them down and see what we can do to help.”The increase in calls comes amid a broader surge in displacement and evictions in Denver and across the state. For two...

Now at MCA Denver: Cowboys like you’ve never seen them before

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:58:21 GMT

In the large-scale artwork “Set Ups,” Stephanie Syjuco contrasts an intricate, menacing print with a verdant landscape and faded imagery of the American West.“The green backdrop and screen is a nod toward that cinematic construction of cowboys,” said Syjuco, who was born in the Philippines and raised in the U.S., where she internalized decades of cowboy imagery in movies and TV shows. “When MCA Denver approved it I was like, ‘yes!’ It’s very specific to this region and the mythology of the cowboy, and it’s related to work I was already doing on landscape panting and how it’s come to influence narratives of westword progress.”Syjuco’s is one of dozens of pieces commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver for its new “Cowboy” exhibition. Works that invoke German American painter Albert Bierstadt’s epic landscapes sit next to visual interrogations of Manifest Destiny, asking us to recons...

Send in the clowns with evocative, dreamlike show from Theatre Artibus

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:58:21 GMT

The first thing you’ll likely notice upon entering the Savoy Denver’s performance space is that Theatre Artibus has placed risers and seats lengthwise, so that the audience sits on two sides of its latest work, “The Pâstisserie.” In addition to creating an intimate proximity to the patrons, the setup in the one-time ballroom affords this evocative, laugh-outright, dreamlike show a zany flow.Gertie (Meghan Frank) and Doris (Tiffany Ogburn) welcome soldier Fred Whipple (Buba Basishvili) to their strange factory in “Pastisserie.” (Michael Ensminger, provided by Theatre Artibus)And flow it does, with its trio of players — Tiffany Ogburn, Buba Basishvili and Meghan Frank — sending laboratory desks and chairs skating across the floor with choreographed flair. Or unfurling a red carpet for a factory boss referred to as “The Founder.”  Or fight-chasing in slow motion across the theater’s expanse to the audience’s hearty guffaws.“The Pâstisserie” explores memory and its adjacent and ac...

Colorado’s COVID hospitalizations are rising again following summer dip

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:58:21 GMT

Colorado’s COVID-19 hospitalizations are rising again, but it’s not clear if they’ll stay at roughly this level or continue to increase as the weather gets colder.Hospitalizations have been slowly increasing since early August, but jumped more noticeably in the last two weeks, from 131 people hospitalized for the virus in Colorado on Sept. 19 to 195 on Monday — the highest total since mid-March.The number of people admitted to hospitals for the virus has held relatively steady, though, averaging about 40 per day, said Beth Carlton, associate professor of environmental and occupational health at the Colorado School of Public Health. That’s higher than over the summer, but nowhere close to the peaks set in 2020 and 2021, when hundreds of people were hospitalized each day, she said.It’s possible the number of severe COVID-19 cases will continue to hover around this level through early December, which was when Colorado saw peaks in previous years, Car...

Sleepbomb See the Sunn

Sleepbomb See the Sunn: Tim Gotch of Experimental rockers Sleepbomb told us about his Sunn o))) experience.Tim Gotch: In regards to the Best Gig I Ever Saw, I had to think long and hard about this question. As a voracious consumer of live shows, there are so many available to pick from as a potential “Best Gig” so I decided to go with “Closest Gig to a Religious Experience” instead, which has a bonus of reflecting the experience of both myself and Sleepbomb’s guitarist, Charlie.The two of us have spent many years going to shows together and have traveled to Europe and Scandinavia several times in pursuit of ultimate sonic bliss and we agree that this was right up there on the out of body transcendence scale.The gig in question as Sunn 0))) at Psycho Las Vegas in 2018. It was a simple proposition, just Greg Anderson and Steven O’Malley as a duo on the main stage at the old Hard Rock Casino (RIP), with approximately two semi-trucks worth of amps and...

49ers’ Brock Purdy on Cowboys: ‘One of my toughest games’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:58:21 GMT

SANTA CLARA — When Brock Purdy led the 49ers to a divisional-round playoff win over Dallas in January, it was above and beyond the call for a rookie seventh-round draft pick.It’s not as if Purdy is a seasoned veteran, even if he conducts himself like one. He’s gone wire-to-wire in 11 games. But Purdy is expecting more out of himself when the 49ers host the Cowboys Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium.“They’re a really good defense and there were times where they did a good job of just getting me offset with some little things and just sort of made me rush some things and I feel like I didn’t get in a good rhythm,” Purdy said Thursday.The 49ers beat the Cowboys 19-12, with Purdy completing 19-of-29 passes for 214 yards and no touchdowns. In nine possessions, the lone touchdown came on a 2-yard run by Christian McCaffrey on the first play of the fourth quarter.Otherwise, the scoring was up to place kicker Robbie Gould, who converted field goal...
