Jude's Real Estate Rumblings

Remember that little sandwich shop in the backcountry that opened back in 1999 called Backcountry Provisions? Now you don't have to travel all the way back to Steamboat to get a darn good sandwich, because Backcountry just opened its doors in LoDo. Today's deal gets you a kickback to the glory days when hikers stopped in before hitting the trail for a hearty pack lunch and good vibes: $20 worth of food and drink for just $10. Dig into sandwiches like the Godfather, featuring mortadella and capocollo, with provolone, veggies, and vinaigrette; or explore the menu and see why they've developed a following among outdoor enthusiasts for the past decade. Kinda takes you back, don't it?

Got a lead foot -- and the speeding tickets to prove it? Now actually enjoy putting the pedal to the metal at Speed Raceway, a brand new indoor go-kart facility in Centennial. Take these karts at dizzyingly high speeds with a dizzyingly great deal. Get the deluxe license package and four races for $39, instead of its usual $85.95 price. The package includes four races, a go-kart license, racing times, weekly specials, and the use of helmets, socks, and neck cushions. So shift gears, whip out your voucher, and race -- er, go the speed limit -- over to the Raceway.

Tap into your inner artist during a carefree session at Ceramics in the City, a hands-on art studio for you and friends to glaze pottery, paint apparel, craft silver jewelry, or fuse glass. Located in the artsy Uptown Square, it's the ultimate place for a do-it-yourself project or an all-out bash (think bridal or birthdays, or even a fresh alternative to the dinner-and-movie date night model). And if you're no Picasso, don't worry -- teachers and helpers are on hand to help jump-start those creative gears. So roll up your sleeves and unleash that inner art muse, and get $40 to spend for just $20. Ceramics in the City is where art is the entertainment.
