The dList

1. Retro-grill
   
   
   This little green grill from our friends at Anthropologie ($98, anthropologie.com) is perfect for a road trip to Steamboat, a picnic in the park, or for cooking on the tiny patio outside your condo where, technically, the HOA said you couldn’t.



2. Aye-Aye
   
   
   A cross between pirate-speak and a five-and-a-half-pound monkey-squirrel, the newest addition to the Denver Zoo is only the second of the endangered Madagascan primates to be born in the U.S. A word of caution: This yet-to-be-named aye-aye sounds nothing like Cedric the Entertainer.



3. RTD’s New Ad Campaign
   
   
   Denver loves retro, and RTD’s new ’70s-inspired campaign to promote rtd-denver.com fits its city to a “T.” Our favorite? Mustachioed Leisure Suit Man.



4. Upslope Brewery
   
   
   Mountain camping + best friends and beer = the best way to spend your summer. May we introduce you to Boulder’s newest microbrewery, whose canned pale ale and IPA are the latest local brews to come in pack-in pack-out packaging.



5. Energism
   
   
   Founded and developed by Conifer artist Julia Watkins, this killer new art form uses, like, big colorful swirls to, like, totally convey the energy that surrounds us all, man. It’s based on Tai Chi, but we think Watkins could make a mint outside Red Rocks for this month’s four days of Phish (July 30 – August 2).



6. Depression Chic
   
   
   So what if we’re in the worst recession since 1932? This Spring, embrace the era of unemployment, destitution, and Hooverville by picking yourself up a tulip print silk dress from Burberry Prorsum for $3,600.



7. Outlier Water-Resistant Cyclist Pants
   
   
   With Gov. Ritter’s new cycling laws protecting a biker’s right to blow through stop signs, zip in front of speeding vehicles, and flip motorists off at intersections, a biker’s going to need some brand new duds for the increase in status. Let the splashing begin (outlier.cc).
