Thank You for Supporting Smother Autism! With your help, we raised over $6,000 for the Joshua School which will be used as scholarships for children affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder. Thanks, too, to our sponsors, Coors, Niman Ranch, and Splick it.
Illegal Pete’s Launches ‘Smother Autism’ Campaign To Support The Joshua School [Huffington Post]
Smother Autism begins TODAY at all 5 Illegal Pete’s locations. April is Autism Awareness Month and we raise funds all month long to support the Joshua School and their efforts to help children with Autism Spectrum disorders.
Smother your burrito all month long and we will donate $1.00 to the Joshua School. Purchase a leaf at one of our restaurants and all of the proceeds to go benefit the Joshua School. And lastly, if you place an order online or through our mobile app, you can round up your order to donate directly to the Joshua School.
You can read more about Smother Autism and Austism in general by reading the feature Huffington Post did with our own Chelsea Kelly-Marx. Thanks Huff Post for helping us to spread the word about our efforts to help the Joshua School.
When was the last time you smothered your burrito?
Visit Illegal Pete’s in April to Show Support for our Smother Autism Campaign
Get involved and support education for kids with autism in the month of April, Autism Awareness Month! During the entire month of April, Illegal Pete’s will be working to extinguish the challenges of Autism Spectrum Disorder by raising funds for The Joshua School through the Smother Autism Program. Illegal Pete’s will be donating $1 to The Joshua School every time a customer smothers their burrito and will also give customers an opportunity to donate $1 in exchange for a leaf that helps grow the abilities of all and can be signed and displayed in stores. A mobile ordering app, Pete’s Mobile, will give customers the chance to “round up” their order as a straight donation. Supporting sponsors of these events include Niman Ranch, Coors, and Splick It.
This is the second year we’ve partnered with The Joshua School to help raise funds and awareness: last year we helped them reach their goal of opening a second location in Boulder. This year we are raising money for their scholarship fund which will help families afford exceptional, one-on-one care provided by the school.

* A monthly cabaret-style night of entertainment and spectacle in a decadent, historic venue featuring comedy, music, and more from mostly-local bands and comedians. First Wednesday of each month. *
.
The first Wednesday of each month, Illegal Pete’s will be presenting some of the finest independent bands and recording artists that the region has to offer. It’s a night of comedy, music, friends and fun. The show will open with a top-notch comedian with great music following to round out the evening. A special night in the coolest showroom in town for only $10.00! Hosted each month by the clever Andrew Orvedahl, known as 1/3 of the buzzworthy comedy group The Grawlix, and creator of the monthly storytelling series, the Narrators.
.
Performing at the first Greater Than Social Club is a Denver band Illegal Pete’s record label, Greater Than Collective, is thrilled to be working with in the new year: A. Tom Collins. The five-piece navigates the murky swamps of New Orleans R&B and ’60s Soul, and follows the cues of diverse influences from Tom Waits and Cab Calloway, to The Stooges and Sam Cooke. Their next album is slated for release in late spring. Also making a special appearance is the national comic Sean Patton, who cut his teeth doing stand-up in New Orleans, and has appeared on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and “Conan.”

It has been a fantastic year for a lot of things: R & B music, queso (did you know it’s the new bacon?), infinity scarves, and the artists on Illegal Pete’s record label, Greater Than Collective. We can’t even keep up with all the Best of 2012 lists that feature our artists, so we can’t even imagine how tough it is for you. It’s okay, we will selflessly list them here.
.
Ben Roy
Ben Roy’s comedy album, I Got Demons, was chosen as one of Laughspin.com’s Best Comedy Albums of 2012 alongside some pretty major players; he was also featured in Westword‘s “Five choice moments from Denver’s standup scene in 2012“ for urging “marriage-abandonment.”
.
Esmé Patterson
Esmé Patterson’s single, “My Young Man” off her recently-released All Princes, I, was in Daytrotter’s top 30 (out of 200) in their big Best Songs of 2012 countdown. All Princes, I was also voted at #9 by listeners on Open Air’s top albums of 2012; besides Lumineers who don’t count because they are such a huge effing deal, she is the first local band on the list! The album was also included in Westword‘s best local albums of 2012; and Esme won a slew of awards on TourVolume.com, including Best Albums of 2012, Musical Award for Bravery, and Lyrical Award for Bravery.
.
The Epilogues
Speaking of which, the Epilogues’ latest album, Cinematics, made Westword‘s best local albums of 2012 as well, and the band also made Reverb‘s Best of 2012: Colorado Artists!
.
Ian Cooke
Speaking of THAT, Ian Cooke also made Reverb‘s Best of 2012: Colorado Artists. Judging by all the big secret plans he has for the next year (you shall see in due time), we’re guessing he’ll be up for more awards in 2013.
.
Seeing our bands (and comedian) get all this acclaim makes us feel like proud parents – proud parents who like to go out and do sake bombs with their children all the time (maybe this metaphor isn’t working….). But for realz, we feel very lucky to be working with these talented artists, in this great and supportive and exciting city of Denver. Happy New Year!

This one is a bit different. This past Friday night, the downtown Illegal Pete’s did a New Belgium tap takeover and put the following specialty beers on tap: Matt’s Dubbel, Kick, Super IPA, and Biere de Mars. We poured tasters of 3 of the 4 beers. Guess which 3 beers and try to guess in order from left to right. Good luck.
