By Susanna Speier Denver Private Investigator Blogger In case you didn't know, May 1st is Law Day and if you're not sure how to plan the day holiday that's been on the radar since Dwight D. Eisenhower's time, check out the Colorado Bar for events being hosted at libraries, court houses schools, television stations, community centers and press clubs throughout the country. The 2018 Law Day theme is "Separation of Powers" and while it may be too late to order Separation of Powers swag from the American Bar there is still time to reflect on the role private investigators play in the legal process and geek out on the holiday's kooky history. "The desire to suppress the celebration of May 1, or May Day, as International Workers’ Day aided in Law Day’s creation" according to History.com May Day had communist overtones in the minds of many Americans, because of its celebration of working people as a governing class in the Soviet Union and elsewhere.May Day had communist overtones in the minds of many Americans, because of its celebration of working people as a governing class in the Soviet Union and elsewhere." So in addition to the Jackson Pollack and Apollo Program, we can thank the Cold War for creating Law Day. On Wednesday, May 02, 2018 you can stop by CB & Pott's in Greenwood Village, located at 6575 Greenwood Plaza Blvd., Greenwood Village, CO 80111 at 6:30 P.M. for a Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado training session and drone flying refresher with Jason Downing.

Want to learn some FBI history over Old Fashioned? Stop by the oldest press club in the country on Thursday, May 10 at 6 PM for a Fireside Chat featuring Sandra Windsor whose memoir, “FBI Wife” explores what it’s like to live next to big moments in history.

Denver Private Investigator With 8.4 breweries per capita (Colorado is third in the nation) Denver distilleries are no anomaly. Given the mile high city's epic frontier, crime and bootlegger history, however it is surprising that Detective and film noir themed parties are as rare as grizzly bear sightings.
You'll be able to catch one of those rare opportunities on Saturday, July 8th when the Clifford Still Museum hosts DiSTILLed: Noir. The theme draws inspiration from Shade: Clyfford Still/Mark Bradford, an exhibit they are running in collaboration with the Denver Art Museum. The invitation encourages participants to "dress in your noir best" which may actually make this the best private investigator date night event in the city's post-speakeasy history. The party will also include blackout poetry (popularized by the writer Austin Kleon) and a detail detective game to play in the galleries.
Tickets cost $15 in advance and $20 at the door. As well as getting you access to the party and galleries, entry includes two bands (one of them is blues) spinning spiral video projections, a cash bar with a selection of locally brewed gin, beer and vodka. There will also be a selection of Filipino food and Sleuths with a sweet tooth can hover by the candy station!
The Clyfford Still museum is located at: 1250 Bannock Street Denver, CO 80204 tel 720-354-4880 DiSTILLed Noir takes place Saturday, July 8th from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Advanced tickets available on the website. For discounted parking garages near the Museum, guests may use Parking Panda and the promotion code: CLYFFORD15. Metered street parking is also available. Bike racks are located on the south side of the Museum. If you're planning to drive in from Wyoming, Ft Collins, Boulder, Louisville or Westminster click here for directions. If you're coming from Colorado Springs, Monument, Castle Rock, Centennial, Parker, Lone Tree, Englewood other places south of Denver, drive north on I-25 to the Lincoln-Broadway exit (207).
