The D-list

1. Fine Line
   
   
   This must-see exhibition at the Museo de las Americas presents five artists from three distinct areas who artistically riff upon a horizon line drawn across the museum walls. Witnessing Mauro Koliva's Bajo la Linea is well worth the price of admission. (Through August 21)




2. Enstrom's Almond Toffee
   
   
   Upon returning to the Park Hyatt after a long day of snowboarding in Beaver Creek, we found a one-ounce piece of heaven sitting on our pillow. To the chocolate gods, we say
   
   
   thank you.




3. Jessica Sonner
   
   
   We've always thought this blue-eyed, redheaded songstress brought a unique blend of joy-flavored country funk to the stage. With the addition of her honky-tonk anthem, "Forget You," to HBO's Big Love, this leggy Denverite is ready for prime time.




4. Colorado Rockies Home Opener
   
   
   Friday, April 10, at 2 pm, baseball returns to Denver, bringing with it an entire season of beer-drinking, all-American days in the sun. Win or lose "” we can't wait.




5. Larkburger
   
   
   After 23 trips out I-70 to Edwards for the best damned truffle aioli burger known to man, our wait for a more convenient Larkburger is finally over. And although its location in Boulder is better for our belt-line than, say, next door, we can't help but be a little jealous.




6. Current 3
   
   
   This new Denver public art exhibit is the first in a series of temporary pieces known as LoDo Lights. Installed at Manny's Bridge (which crosses Cherry Creek at Wynkoop), its projections are triggered by movement, giving pedestrians either an immersive experience or a severe case of vertigo.




7. Go Fast
   
   
   We were sleeping at our desks Thursday afternoon when four cases of this Denver-based drink arrived to kick us back into gear. Six Go Fasts and 13 hours later, we finished our April issue.
