July 12, 2019 / 10:48pm / 39.7508855, -104.9852885 / Mercury Cafe / The Mercury Cafe is a space that feels too good to be real in the “New Denver” of shiny, ugly condos and concrete food halls / Mercury Cafe has existed in a few different locations since 1975 when it was opened by its present-day owner Marilyn Megenity / In the 1980s it occupied a space in Capitol Hill where many punk bands such as the Dead Kennedys, The Misfits, Black Flag and X played / The current location has a hippie-friendly restaurant serving locally sourced food along with two large rooms that host dance lessons, concerts, yoga classes, poetry slams, film screenings and a variety of other community events / The bright red interior is decorated with a web of twinkling white lights that give it a special sense of magic / In this recording my friends and I enjoy vegan chocolate mousse and tea after a trip to Lakeside //
