There was electricity in the air on the afternoon of our summer cover shoot as Denver Magazine took over the rooftop terrace and swimming pool at the Watermark Luxury Residences, but our Sizzling Summer issue is not just sexy swimsuit fashion. It’s dining alfresco on Denver’s finest restaurant patios and a selection of summertime BBQ hotspots; profiles of The Denver Post Chairman and Publisher and Media News Group Vice Chairman and CEO Dean Singleton, ESPN The Magazine columnist Rick Reilly and Colorado Avalanche President Pierre Lacroix; interviews with international artists Romero Britto and Michael Godard, and the latest exercise craze Krav Maga.
