MTV to Film at Denver School of the Arts (DSA)

NEW MTV SERIES SHOOTS AT DENVER HIGH SCHOOL

Denver School of the Arts (DSA) to be part of new MTV series, “If You Really Knew Me” based on the work of Challenge Day. Described by MTV as a real life 'Breakfast Club', the series follows five high school students from different cliques (jocks, geeks, brains, etc) through "Challenge Day", a one-day program designed to break down barriers. MTV has ordered 12 episodes.

According to Tony Di Santo, president of MTV programming, the new series "breaks down the wall of cliques in high schools and brings kids together". This day is made possible by Challenge Denver, a local not for profit organization which provides 11 Denver Public Schools with Challenge Day and weekly follow-up. Challenge Denver assumes that many of the issues facing teens, such as stereotyping, racism, sexism, and the use of drugs and alcohol, are caused and exacerbated by isolation. The work of Challenge Denver is aimed at counteracting these causes and fostering respect, tolerance, and self-acceptance, with the ultimate goal of improving participants lives and creating safer schools, thereby increasing school attendance, retention, and graduation.

Denver School of the Arts is the only Colorado school being filmed and was chosen because of its unique student body and long standing partnership with Challenge Denver. Local rapper, social activist, Challenge Denver supporter and former DSA teacher, James Lurie from The Flobots, is volunteering as an adult facilitator for the day.

Stock Show Steer Receives Royal Treatment at The Brown Palace Hotel

On Friday, Jan. 22, the National Western Stock Show’s 2010 Grand Champion Steer will be escorted down a red carpet to be put on display during afternoon tea in The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa’s lobby. The prize winning steer will be adorned with a garland of roses and will drink from a sterling silver punch bowl while hundreds of city slickers gather for a glimpse before he heads to the Auction of Junior Champions to be sold that evening.

Complimentary photos with the Grand Champion will be taken from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Rodeo royalty will also be on site for photos and autographs. Open to the public.

The steer’s visit to The Brown is one of many appearances made by livestock in the hotel. In 1945, Dan Thornton, who later became governor of Colorado, arranged to have two Hereford bulls shown and sold here for $50,000. In January 1958, Monte Montana clattered into the lobby on his horse “Rex” and continued up the grand staircase to drop in on a meeting of the Rodeo Cowboys Association. In 1988, Gary Henry and “Bubba,” a Texas Longhorn steer, arrived at the front desk to signal the beginning of the National Western Stock Show.

The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa is a Forbes Four-Star, AAA Four-Diamond luxury landmark located in the heart of downtown Denver. It is a charter member of National Trust Historic Hotels of America and is managed by Quorum Hotels & Resorts, a full service management company headquartered in Dallas. For more information or to make reservations please call (303) 297-3111, (800) 321-2599 or visit www.brownpalace.com.
