Squirm Night

Squirm Night click for pixWe've said it before:  Aspen is a small town. We have 2,500 voters, 5000 residents and 100,000 opinions. Political commentary is not normally our milieu..... and we are not making endorsements, simply observations (in 3 words or less).

Aspen's election is May 5th. We at A-Spin feel a sense of civic duty to try to be fully informed.  Tonight we attended Aspen's  SQUIRM NIGHT.  Whats the Squirm?--- all the candidates for Mayor and City Council are grilled by the fourth estate, live on Grassroots TV12.  Last week we attended ACRA's Q & A event.  We can't get enough of the non-stop political babble.

O for 4We don't really wanna make anybody squirm, but we did want to see the squirmage ---LIVE.   Our Squirm Night post from two years ago ( click Squirm), proved to be pretty sagacious (look it up).   Lets see how we do this time around.

 The continuous squabble that masquerades itself as Aspen politics is quite tiring.  Aspenites reside in one of the most beautiful & special places in the world. Why all the suspiciousness, anger and angst within our City Government?  Small town politics?   Can't we all just get along.

 As stated above, these are not endorsements----just observations. We limited our commentary to 3 words or less, and we tried to keep it positive. We can't choose for you.  You must decide for yourself.  See our take (in 3 words or less).

The Closer

It was a fantastic ski season in Aspen. 

At A-Spin, we skied our A$$es off and partied like a Mo-Fo for the past 5 months.  The closing weekend was a microcosm for the entire season.  We had just enough stamina to finish it off--VICTORY !!!

2 photo albums with 75 pix captured it all.  All season long, we got the goods.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Stephen Stills brought the heat to Aspen.  "It was great to see so many A.A.R.P. members rockin' out in A-Town" quipped dermatologist to the stars, Dr. Kenneth Mark. 

Stills, who defined the "rock and roll lifestyle" in the 60's and 70's played a  set of solo acoustic tunes and seemed to have trouble breathing at altitude.  Dr. Feelgood must have visited the rocker @ intermission, because the second set was an unruly, all electric rock & roll spectacle.

Stills jammed from his own extensive catalogue plus added tunes from Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Tom Petty. The absolute highlight was his super-rowdy version of Joe Walsh's Rocky Mountain Way-- so, so siiiiiiiiiiiick.
