Denver Club Schedules $7 Jimothy Rave for Aug. 29 as Viral Raccoon Meme Jumps Offline

Milk in Denver will host a Jimothy-themed rave on Aug. 29, with CoClubs running the event from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. and RUDA & Friends on the lineup.
Tickets are priced at $7, underscoring the event’s meme-driven, accessible pitch as the viral raccoon’s online fame turns into an in-person nightlife draw.
Jimothy, a wild raccoon from Seattle, became an internet folk hero in July after videos highlighted his unusual shape and gait, widely linked online to short spine syndrome.
Milk fits the concept: the SoCo underground club is known for alternative dance culture and themed nights, with decor inspired by A Clockwork Orange’s Korova Milk Bar.
