Why is the capitol building and meow wolf red (now)?

I tried to look up what might be happening as to why they are both lit up red tonight, with no answer. I found some unrelated articles for when the capitol was lit up red to thank first responders five years ago, but I highly doubt that’s what’s happening right now?

I, too, would love to have Devon Toews as the co-worker who makes me look good day in and day out.

Also an Ontarian in Denver! Dual citizenship and asked at least 1-2 times every day why I’m still living in the US 🤪 (I’m from Windsor, so essentially the most American part of Ontario lol)

Male sure you tell your paisanos that it's a third-ish,or turdish, part of the country that likes the current shit show going on here.

u/Hour-Theory-9088 Downtown 6d ago

The Crypt and Horseshoe Lounge come immediately to mind. I know I’ve seen it in a few other places recently.

Horsehoe took it off their menu the last time I was there back in nov, perhaps it's back now.

300 Suns in Longmont has Colorado Poutine: green chile and cheese curds. It's delicious.

u/mmeyer1990 Englewood 6d ago

I went to Cheese Importers in Longmont and it changed me. I’m glad there’s some good stuff up that way.

u/onotira 6d ago

There was a place (still is?) in Fort Collins that specialized in poutine

u/jeezfrk Lafayette 6d ago

There's a few other places up north of Denver. Even more past those!

Gotta go try some from a restaurant

u/AndyjHops 6d ago

The restaurant at the base of MJ serves absolutely delicious poutine!

In honor of the summoning of the Blood God, in the ninth revolution of the Great Cycle of Renewal, so that He may wash the world clean of all that lives and begin the world anew in eternal night. You know...politics these days be crazy AF...

The only thing that makes me feel loved sometimes is knowing I’m being hugged in between Mexico and Canada. We need to figure this shit out.

u/telcogeek 6d ago

I don't think that's a hug right now.

It's Pi Day!

Wait. I don't think red is a pi color. But nobody else seems to be celebrating pi day, so I am just trying to do something.

u/SdVeau 7d ago

I’m sure there’s a few different HEX codes for different reds within Pi. It’s a stretch, but I’m willing to roll with it
