I read an article that Aspen is the best summer camp you could ever attend! I guess after 35 full summers here, I am in total agreement. We have a full list of activities to choose from every single day! Besides the incredible hiking, biking, tennis and golf routine, we have all the intellectual and cultural stimulation you desire.
The Food & Wine event last weekend was over the top. Every top chef you see on The Food Channel and Bravo was here. For us foodies, it was nirvana. It was a complete sell out since mid-winter, so next year I will remind you early! Rolls Royce came to town starting with a private dinner with Chef Mei Lin – named the top chef on Bravo this year.
This past weekend was the opening of JAS Aspen celebrating its 25th Anniversary with the Count Basie Orrchestra. Kurt Ellings sang the Frank Sinatra songbook for his 100th birthday remembrance. Chicago played last Saturday night.
Tonight, we will attend the JAS cafe with dinner and the Django Festival Allstars. The nicest part about the JAS organization is that all the National Council Membership dollars fund music in the schools throughout the entire valley.
