THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with ANDREW TRAVERS

FESTIVAL ON SATURDAY, JAN. 10, Gay Ski Week begins its eight days of events, with seemingly roundthe-clock festivities on the mountains and around Aspen and Snowmass, including pool parties, dance parties, dance pool parties, a masquerade ball, a group drag ski in Highland Bowl and the always entertaining costume contest on Aspen Mountain. On the arts side, Aspen’s annual convocation of queer culture includes some noteworthy events that are worth marking on your calendar, whether you’re gay or straight, local or visitor. Gay Ski Week will host, for example, a screening of the cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” at the Wheeler Opera House on Wednesday, Jan. 13 and a comedy night at Belly Up — featuring the Lezberados — on Jan. 16. The arts highlight may be photographer Tom Bianchi’s show, “Fire Island Pines,” at Nugget Gallery. It features Polaroid photos that Bianchi took during the New York beach community’s wild gay heyday from 1975 to 1983 and gives an iconic portrait of the free-spirited enclave. Last year, Bianchi collected the photos in his acclaimed book, “Tom Bianchi: Fire Island Pines.” The gallery hosts three events during Gay Ski Week: a sneak peak of the show on Sunday, Jan. 11 at 7 p.m.; Fashion & Art Night Out on Wednesday, Jan. 15 from 6 to 9 p.m. and a reception and booksigning with Bianchi on Thursday, Jan. 16 at 7 p.m. More information at www.gayskiweek.com.

Tom Bianchi’s “Fire Island Pines” photo show will be at the Nugget Gallery during Gay Ski Week.

PITTSBURGH RAPPER MAC MILLER’S “Faces” was one of the most popular and acclaimed hip-hop albums of 2014, and continued the run of club-bumping free mixtapes and studio albums he’s released over the last four years. Miller will play Belly Up Aspen on Sunday, Jan. 11. His rhymes swerve from bass-heavy dance tracks to thoughtful rhymes and smart wordplay. With a booming national following, Miller is on the cusp of break-out stardom. Seeing him in a small club like Belly Up at this moment might be the kind of thing you brag about years down the line.

with JOHN COLSON

A case for whisky as the foundation of America WHISKY. That’s my drink, and I spell it without the “e” because I’m a Scotch drinker in the main, and that’s how they spell it across the pond and in a couple of other locales (in America, it’s “whiskey”). And yes, I am aware that I am writing at the time of year when Champagne is the drink of choice — New Year’s Eve was just the other day — though I should admit right here that not a drop of the bubbly crossed my lips on that much ballyhooed night. The closest I got was a couple of shots of tequila, as I have found through hard experience that mixing the grape and the grain is not good for me. Or for those around me. And I started the night with a Scotch. Anyways, I just finished a book about the kind of whisky that helped to build these United States, and I’ve got to say, it was so entertaining I may have to reconsider my affiliation. The book, titled “Mountain Spirits,” is about the makers of illicit whisky, primarily the variety known as “corn squeezin’s,” an industry that got its start before the U.S. was even created, and was deemed a mainstay for survival all along the frontier and beyond. The tome belonged to my late, lamented sister, who though she lived in Madison, Wisconsin, was a bourbon drinker all of her adult life (and a little before that, even). But her main reason for having the book probably had as much to do with her love of history as of a good sip. A case in point was the inclusion, near the back of the book, of a clipping from the Jan. 16, 2008 edition of the Wisconsin State Journal — or, as we nicknamed it, the “state urinal,” for its non-progressive editorial stance. Though, to be fair, we had an equally derisive nickname for the other, much more progressive daily newspaper in Madison, officially named The Capitol Times but rechristened by even those who read it and liked it as The Crap Times. Regardless, the clipping related how Wisconsin, and Madison in particular, “hated” the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the prohibition act ratified in 1919 that forced drinkers underground in their quest for something to wet their whistle. From Fraternity Row at the University of Wisconsin to the rowdy town of Hurley in the far north of the state, according to a report by a federal investigator in 1929, Wisconsin was “a Gibraltar of the wets — sort of a Utopia where everyone drinks their fill and John Barleycorn still holds forth in splendor.” But, back to the book. Author Joseph Earl Dabney, writing

in 1974, reported that moonshining was still (pun intended) an active but rapidly declining segment of the national economy, but most particularly in the South, which is where Dabney is from and which is the focal point of his investigation into moonshiners and the work they have done since the 1600s in this country. In fact, though, his book offers up the justifiable proposition that whisky, starting very early in the life of the British colonies from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania and on down the eastern seaboard, contributed far more than simply the substance with which to get blind drunk. Rather, it was a foundational cornerstone of the economy from an early date, providing an easy way for farmers to harvest their corn and other grain crops, convert them to a cash crop much easier to transport and sell than the grain itself, and make enough money to survive in the harsh conditions of the frontier. Because that is where moonshine was to be found, in the frontier regions, whether they were just inland from the Atlantic coast in the early days of colonial settlement, or in the mountainous terrain of the Appalachian Mountains as the colonists began the westward march that overthrew the indigenous cultures of the Native American tribes and set the stage for creation of a new nation. Dabney is unabashedly full of admiration for the hardscrabble stock of whisky makers, mostly descended from Scotch-Irish immigrants who brought their moonshining skills over the water with them and immediately set up shop in the New World. And he seems relatively critical of the federal government’s attempts, starting in the middle 1800s, to regulate and tax the product coming out of hundreds of thousands of stills across the land, which the moonshiners themselves considered to be unjustifiable meddling in their God-given right to make whisky and, where possible, to make money from the endeavor. He does, however, have more than one kind word for the government agents sent to enforce the liquor taxes and to destroy illegal stills wherever they were found. All in all, it’s a fine little book, still available online (as is its subsequent companion edition, “More Mountain Spirits”). And it offers an object lesson about the independent spirit that helped to build this nation we now inhabit, whatever one thinks about how things have turned out.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

With power lines, icicles and delivery trucks, Aspen’s alleys bare little resemblance to its streets.

ASPEN’S ALLEYWAYS If you do not deliver goods to downtown businesses or have a back-lot garage, you may not have spent much time in Aspen’s alleyways. As a child I spent almost as much time in the alleys as I did on the streets. There I discovered less-visible, historic infrastructure. We can thank B. Clark Wheeler for Aspen’s wide alleys. Many mining towns of the same era were built around narrow alleys, if any. Wheeler, who laid out the town, was able to envision a city with straight and wide streets and alleys because Aspen is located in a flat and wide section of the valley. Wheeler’s plotting was not perfect, however. In 1885 the town surveyor announced that no two blocks, streets, or alleys were the same. Adjustments had to be made. Alleys outlined on a plat map differed from a real town with infrastructure needs, so the city council’s streets and alleys committee faced new requests almost weekly. They acted like today’s planners and zoners who grant businesses’ and homeowners’ requests for deviations from established alley lines and uses. The most significant change occurred when the committee granted one of the railroads use of an alleyway for part of its route into town. For a child with places to go and friends to see, an alley functioned as any street. The shortest route from

here to there often ran through an alley from my home in the Cowenhoven building. Later, my knowledge of residential alleys deepened as I played kick the can summer evenings in the West End around Third Street, and in

environment. But old barns, sheds and outhouses crowded the alley line. Builders placed these structures as far as possible from a house. Larger sheds, some with the glorified name “carriage house,”

REMINDERS OF THE MINING-ERA LOGIC OF STRUCTURE PLACEMENT ON RESIDENTIAL LOTS REMAINED VISIBLE INTO THE 1950S. ASPEN’S HOUSES HAD BEEN SET BACK FROM THE STREET, OFTEN BECAUSE THE STREET EDGES WERE LINED WITH TREES. THAT PRACTICE CREATED A SPACIOUS STREET ENVIRONMENT. BUT OLD BARNS, SHEDS AND OUTHOUSES CROWDED THE ALLEY LINE. BUILDERS PLACED THESE STRUCTURES AS FAR AS POSSIBLE FROM A HOUSE. my immediate East End neighborhood. Reminders of the mining-era logic of structure placement on residential lots remained visible into the 1950s. Aspen’s houses had been set back from the street, often because the street edges were lined with trees. That practice created a spacious street

sheltered wagons, sleds and buggies. Close to the property line, they were built with the long dimension parallel to the alley. Large doors on the ends opened at right angles to the alley. Despite the wide alleys Wheeler designed, it would have been difficult to back a wagon through a door

perpendicular to the alley. Downtown alleys of the 1950s were unsightly to the eye and unfriendly to the nose. Lined by tall buildings, they were darker than the streets and winter ice there did not melt until late spring. Bars and restaurants vented cooking fumes and cigarette smoke into the alleys. Restaurant garbage cans overflowed from along the edges of buildings, and stacks of empty retail boxes softened in the snow. That unpleasantness was not new to Aspen’s alleys. In 1888 residents crusaded against hotels and restaurants that dumped garbage into the alleys. To top things off back then, dead animals rotted for days in alleyways, stinking up the town. Sewer, water, and power lines were installed along the streets during the mining era. But in more modern times, the power poles were moved to the alleys. Then buried power lines improved the unsightly appearance of the alleyways. Now, walking through an alley might attract unwarranted attention from homeowners. And in the downtown area it is not the most scenic stroll. But you can learn more about your town’s history by walking its back alleys than you can by traipsing down its cosmetically controlled streets. Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective.

A TOAST TO WINTER

1955 ASPEN

ON JAN. 13, 1955 the Aspen Daily Times published an article headlined “Winterskol lays down the law,” which went on to proclaim “Hear ye! Hear ye! Citizens of Aspen, take note and woe be to them who fail to heed the following mandates laid down by the venerable trustees of Winterskol. The law of Winterskol must be kept or Aspenites shall be required to face the Kangaroo Court which will operate during the week of January 22-30. The Law of Winterskol is: Every Aspenite shall wear a stocking cap upon his head from January 22-30, except within the confines of his home. Any Aspenite between the ages of six and one hundred and six caught without their stocking cap during the Winterskol shall be subject to fine and/or further punishment, as the Court may find fit and just according to the crime. Every Aspenite is asked to attach bells to his or her car to jingle over the bumps. Ideas for attaching bells may be had at the Chamber of Commerce. It is desired that they jingle while the car is in motion thus giving the town a unique background of sound during this festive week. Every Aspenite is asked to put at least one lighted star in the porch or window of his or her house; the more the merrier. Use old Christmas stars or get ideas for the making of one from your kindly Chamber of Commerce.” The photo shows Dottie Helmkamp, Kathy Butterworth, Daphne Bedford, Ruth Whyte, and Joan Lane dressed up during Winterskol, 1955.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

THE BEST ‘GEAR OF THE YEAR’ EACH YEAR I TEST and evaluate dozens of products made for outdoor pursuits. A few surface as the best, most interesting, and innovative. From a new kind of energy food to a rechargeable camp lantern, here are 10 stand-out products I put through the paces over the past year.

TENTSILE TENTS:

I pitched the Vista from Tentsile this fall and let my kids climb up and through a floor hatch for access to the swinging perch. Essentially a massive hammock with a rain fly, the hovering tent design is something fun and unique in a world of shelters that are otherwise literally staked to the ground.

PATAGONIA NANO-AIR JACKET:

Through the coldest winter I’ve ever faced this jacket became a go-to. But Patagonia did not just focus on warmth; the insulated Nano-Air is highly breathable and best used while active outside in snot-freezing temps. As a bonus, it is among the most comfortable coats I’ve ever worn.

GOAL ZERO LIGHTHOUSE LANTERN:

With its bright LED lights, a USB port to power gadgets, and an electricitygenerating crank on top to recharge an internal battery, the Lighthouse is not a typical camping lantern. It can power a dead phone in the wilds and also light up your campsite at night.

SIERRA DESIGNS BACKCOUNTRY BED:

KATADYN BASE CAMP 10L:

An all-in-one water-filtering unit, the Katadyn uses gravity to convert lake or river water to drinkable H20. The concept is not new, but Katadyn’s refined design of each part and its super-fast 0.2-micron filter results in one of the best backcountry water-procuring systems I have seen.

KEEN DURAND MID WP:

As a part of a massive crowd-sourced gear test this year, I shipped a single pair of the built-in-the-USA Durand boots to hikers around the country. The result was 1 million steps taken in the same boots and a wear-test that saw the KEENs hiking from the Appalachians to the Pacific Coast. In the end, the sturdy boots had passed the durability test and were ready for more.

‘PERFORMANCE DOWNS’:

A couple of companies this year combined goose feathers with synthetic fibers in various configurations to introduce new insulation types. I tested and approved jackets with PrimaLoft’s Performance Down Blends and Columbia’s TurboDown technology. Both offer advantages that range from added warmth and better moisturewicking, to substantial cost-savings over traditional goose down.

V360 CAMERA:

A zipper-less sleeping bag, the Backcountry Bed offers a different (and more comfortable) snoozing experience. It has a blanket-like covering that you pull up to your chin when ready to tuck in for the night. Sleep on your side, back, or stomach... the unrestricting design accommodates all.

A next-generation action camera, the V.360° shoots in its namesake 360 degrees, capturing all angles of a scene. I tested the camera extensively on two video shoots earlier this winter and was convinced the Argus-eye view is a look into the future of video capture in the outdoors.

BLACK DIAMOND HALO JETFORCE BACKPACK:

TRAIL BUTTER:

Caveat — I did not test this pack in an actual avalanche! But with an innovative design that uses a high-power “hyper” fan to inflate an airbag in an instant if you’re caught in a snow-slide, the JetForce stands out as a true innovation of the year.

Can you say “Yum”? Almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, seeds, honey, dried fruit, and oils... these are ingredients found in the delightful and filling energy food called Trail Butter. A screw-on cap lets a hiker or cyclist take nips out of the 4.5-ounce pouches, which contain nearly 700 calories of raw energy to power you down a trail.

I’ve been doing this since I was 9, listing one thing daily in exchange for a small toy or piece of candy in my advent calendar. Even in college, he would ship me a calendar, reminding me of the gratitude I BARBARA should record. I think PLATTS he gave me this job to try and show me how fortunate of a kid I was. And also, to keep me focused on the good things in life. A great deal of research has come out in past years showing that listing things you’re thankful for can promote happiness. From that, we can be more positive in the present, which helps our brains work in a more successful way. Below are the 31 things I am thankful for from December. I urge anyone who is having a bad day, or a bad week, to list out some things you’re happy to have in your life. It certainly helped me. 1.

I’m thankful for the beautiful necklace I was gifted for Christmas. It’s one of the most extravagant I’ve ever worn.

I’m thankful for snow on the ground that wields off any thoughts that are forlorn. I’m thankful for the work I do, even when it puts me in a craze. I’m thankful for the state I live in, the one that has put most in a pot-induced haze. I’m thankful for Aspen Mag’s new office, located in the center of town. I’m thankful for my boyfriend’s humor that always brings me back from a seemingly solidified frown. I’m thankful for the bottomless mimosas at Justice Snow’s that prepare me for the slopes on a weekend day. I’m thankful for the champagne powder that is currently ready to slay. I’m thankful for the new restaurant in town, a seafood eatery called Grey Lady. I’m thankful for the strange Aspen townies, even when they act a tad bit shady. I’m thankful that I get to write a story on the 25 years of the Bou. I’m thankful that my research involves hanging out there until 2...if I want to… I’m thankful to be recognized

I’m thankful that, no matter how hard the day is, the mountains always make things a bit easier. I’m thankful for the restaurant Meat & Cheese, which has made the cuisine in town much cheesier. I’m thankful for the traditions that help keep my family all together. I’m thankful that our togetherness keeps us stable through the roughest of weather. I’m thankful that there are endless stories of my dad, no matter how short-lived his time here was. I’m thankful that the holidays have made this town abuzz. I’m thankful for Cassius, my new pup, even when he’s a total pain. I’m thankful for our family vacations, when they are wild and when they are tame.

I’m thankful that New Year’s night with friends and family was full of bountiful guffaws. I’m thankful for 2015, a year with a whole new list of to-dos. I’m thankful I’m almost to 31 on this list because I’m running out of gratitude to muse. I’m thankful for the Highland Bowl, where powder often resides. I’m thankful for skiing down it, which is always a crazy ride. But most of all, without a rhyme, I’m thankful for the place I live in and the people that make it an adventure every day.

Happy New Year, everyone! I wish you all the best in 2015. Barbara Platts is not thankful for the cold, human hunger, our country’s bickering with North Korea or the current tickle in her throat that is sure to turn into a cold. She just wanted you to know that she’s not all positive. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

WINEINK

by KELLY J. HAYES

WINEINK 2015: RESOLUTIONS MADE UNDER THE INFLUENCE WRITING A WEEKLY COLUMN of any sort requires discipline. And while I may be just getting around, on this, the 8th of January, to putting my plans and schemes for 2015 on paper, rest assured that I try to maintain a high degree of discipline when it comes to penning this column. You’re just going to have to trust me on that. However, as in any endeavor, KELLY J. HAYES adjustments, tweaks and improvements can be made that will make WineInk more satisfying, informative and worth your time. So, with glass in hand, here are some of my resolutions to make WineInk better in the coming year.

A GIANT IN THE WORLD OF WINE Some people are simply larger than life, and Serge Hochar, who passed away at age 75 this past week while swimming in Acapulco, Mexico, certainly was one of those people. For those unfamiliar with this giant of a man, Serge was the proprietor of Chateau Musar, the Lebanese winery that produced Bordeaux-style wines in the Beqaa Valley near Beirut, an area better known as a war zone than a wine mecca. His dedication to producing outstanding wines transcended the circumstances of strife that defined the region. But beyond that, Hochar was a citizen of the world, and an evangelist for wine who traveled the globe spreading good cheer and selling great wines. Serge visited Aspen for the Food & Wine Classic a few years back and was a gem. He will be missed, not just by the wine world but all of humanity. Rest in Peace, Serge.

LET IT BREATHE There are probably fewer than 100 people in America who write weekly about wine. They, like I, are under the burden of a weekly deadline and many, like I, inevitably find themselves writing to that deadline, getting their thoughts on paper in the final desperate hours before their editor needs them. In 2015, this cycle will be broken. In the coming year I will write with the subject, rather than the deadline, in mind. When inspired I will immediately commit that inspiration to a digital file. I will then let it breathe and revisit it like I often do when I save a final swallow of wine for the morning after. The Gallos once had an advertising slogan, “We will sell no wine before its time.” Well, in the future this column will only be published when it has been properly aged, opened and decanted. (Do you hear me, Jeanne, my dear editor?)

culture, and there are so many people who are passionate about the wines they drink and sell. Once a month there will be a story focusing on something live and local. Oh, and I want to spend time with some of the Colorado winemakers again. Their efforts deserve another look. VISIT MORE WINE REGIONS On those occasions when people comment to me personally about my column it often is a result of them having been to a wine region they’ve read about. We are a valley of travelers, and wine travel can frequently be the best travel. Grapes grow in great places with sun, sea and mountains. This year I hope to go back to places I have already visited, but also to discover new regions that I can write about. The Douro? Stellenbosch? Rio Negro?

DRINK MORE WINE This may get a big “duh” from you, but in the past year I have found myself distracted by bourbon and brews. That is to say that I have passed up opportunities to taste new wines as I have dallied in the ohso-potent cocktail culture and been distracted by the burgeoning beer revolution. I know that I have a professional obligation to taste and learn about the world’s wines, and I promise to maintain focus moving forward.

LEARN MORE ABOUT WINE In The New York Times obituary by Eric Asimov about Serge Hochar (see sidebar) he quotes the Lebanese winemaker as saying, “I know nothing about wine. I know how to make wine, but I know nothing about wine, and each day I discover that I know less.” Yes, the study of wine can be humbling, even for a wine-making

DRINK MORE LOCALLY Again, this may seem obvious as well, but in 2015 I plan to spend more time with local somms, in local shops and with local reps. The Roaring Fork Valley has such a rich wine

savant like Hochar, but there are ways to study and learn about all of the things, all of the “ologies,” that make wine so fascinating. I am particularly interested in wood and concrete and the vessels that are used to ferment and age wines. There will be barrels. LET MORE PEOPLE READ THE COLUMN It is an honor to write for the Aspen Times Weekly, a paper that has roots deeper in this state than any other. But if I can find a way to further disseminate the content of WineInk, it will provide a greater forum for all of us in the Aspen wine community. The larger the audience, the more marketers will want to use this as a place to tell their stories. All of these resolutions use the word “more.” What that says is that I believe we have built something over these last seven years and 390 columns that can be improved by simply doing more of the same. Thanks for reading, and let’s drink some wine in 2015. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

BON VOYAGE

AIRPORT FOOD CHECKS ITSELF AIRPORT SUSHI: It sounds like a bad trip waiting to happen. But on a layover at Chicago O’Hare International Airport recently, I find myself lured by the sea song of Wicker Park Seafood & Sushi, a sleek restaurant awash in glass and white marble with a glowing, marine-blue bar. I’ve passed it before, spying jumbo shrimps on ice, flashes of green bamboo, and AMANDA RAE a row of white-capped sushi chefs bent in concentration, but time between flights always seemed too tight for a proper meal. So, now in the oft-hailed “worst airport in America” again — this time with two hours to kill — I make my move. I’m gonna feast on raw fish in Terminal 2, preconceived notions be damned. When I arrive, the place is humming with quiet efficiency to backdrop views of a lavender twilight sky above the tarmac outside. Half of the 18 seats on one side of the bar are occupied with patrons quietly building piles of edamame shells and dipping into giant bowls of udon noodles, so the hostess leads me to the empty side opposite. Here, with my back facing the windows, is a prime people-watching spot. Flush with Christmas cash, I order a $15 cocktail, “Osaka Nights” (sake, Grand Marnier, muddled lime, Chambord), and settle into a cushy, white leather barstool. The drink list, by the way, is impressive compared to other fly-zone watering holes: 15 kinds of cold and hot sake, sho chu, and plum wine; as many domestic and imported wines by the glass; Kirin, Sapporo and Sam Adams on tap; and a handful of specialty cocktails with names like Tokyo Typhoon. More posh than Chili’s, for sure, with prices to match. Block off peripheral views of a snack kiosk, tech-accessories boutique and taxed travelers scurrying past, and Wicker Park— named for the Windy City’s trendy, eclectic neighborhood — just might fit in there among other upscale restaurants. No surprise, then, that Wicker Park won a 2011 Excellence in Restaurant Design award from the American Society of Interior

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Designers. I’m a sucker for sexy restaurants. In addition to the new soup bowls with meats, vegetables and boiled egg are raw bar delights (oysters, wasabi shrimp, king crab), Asian salads, 12 signature rolls, and all the standard sashimi and nigiri combinations. I request a few rolls and hope they match the atmosphere, and my appetite. To a girl who has been fasting all day, the platter set before me is a sight to behold: A tidy mosaic of candy pink, atomic orange and spring green. I polish off a zippy seaweed salad and begin the conquest. True to its name, Spanish Dynamite, one of the most popular items on the menu, is my favorite: yellowtail, shallot, spicy crab and fresh tuna, each piece topped with a cilantro leaf and thinly shaved jalapeño and sitting in a ponzu pool. The Hot Night, with shrimp tempura inside and fresh tuna on top, is extra piquant, thanks to a doublewhammy of chile sauce and Sriracha plus spicy radish and scallion. There are also unconventional offerings: the Tenderloin Roll with asparagus, shredded daikon, carrot, spicy radish and mustard-soy dressing and a soy-paper wrapped chicken teriyaki roll with avocado, chive and fried harusame noodles. The rice is sticky and seasoned as it should be; the rolls don’t fall apart. Most important, the sashimi tastes super-fresh. Matsu it ain’t, but a far, foreign cry from, say, City Market. Airports across the country have been stepping up their dining game in recent years, says Frank Sickelsmith, adult beverage and restaurant development VP for HMSHost, which operates eateries in 114 airports around the globe— including the 20 busiest in North America. But the trend toward premium eats began more than a decade ago. “We started working with Todd English in Boston, and Wolfgang Puck,” Sickelsmith says. “At that point it was more celebrity chefdriven, with folks people see on TV. Now it’s more about celebrated chefs in a specific city. A good example of that is Rick Bayless in Chicago with two Tortas Frontera locations. When we do a redevelopment,

Janu ar y 8 - Janu ar y 14, 20 15

almost every time the airport wants representation of their hometown, and the best way for us to do that is to get local chefs and to use local farms.” In fact, Wicker Park will participate in Chicago’s Restaurant Week, Jan. 30 to Feb. 12, offering a three-course menu ($33, see opposite). Though I don’t believe lobster and green tea are Chi-Town treasures. Fast-casual and fancy airport eateries are opening everywhere. LAX is nurturing an $80 million crop of new restaurants, including Michael Voltaggio’s ink.sack, Roy Choi’s Kogi BBQ, Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken’s Border Grill, and Umami Burger. This summer will welcome Golden Road’s Point the Way Café, an offshoot of the city’s popular brewpub, and Danny Meyer’s beachy Blue2o. DIA is on a roll, too, with LoHi transplant Root Down in Concourse C and Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs and Elway’s Steakhouse in Concourse B. Naturally, DFW and SFO are aces in fine fare, boasting a kaleidoscope of options from Michelin star-winning chefs, master mixologists, and top sommeliers. No doubt, the force driving Wicker Park’s success since it opened to solid reviews in 2010 is chef Susumu “Go” Shibata. Native to Japan’s Akita Prefecture, Chef Go climbed ranks for nearly a

decade in his home country before immigrating to New York in 1983 and working for restaurants in Manhattan, Los Angeles, Santa Fe and Omaha. “(Wicker Park) was the first one that showed that sushi, when done the right way — it’s open, you can see them producing it — (can succeed in an airport),” Sickelsmith says. Hence Umaizushi, the HMSHost brand behind similar airport spots in Honolulu, Zurich and Dubai. Quality and safety are crucial, of course, but, “in an airport environment, you don’t care if you get great service, you want efficient service,” Sickelsmith explains. “By the time you get to an airport restaurant, you’ve been beaten up by five different people, you know? We want to create an environment of simple kindness.” What about the fact that airportgoers are a captive audience, literally, to whatever is served? “If we’re gonna be there,” Sickelsmith declares, “let’s make it good.” Fast-forward three hours, from ORD to ASE: I’m boarding a complimentary shuttle from Grand Junction Regional Airport in the middle of a snowstorm and, while super annoyed, well, at least I’m not hangry.

richer, smokier and deliciously darker. Start with

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon ground mace 20 ounces thick-cut bacon Heat the oven to 250 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, red pepper flakes and mace. Arrange the bacon in a single layer in the prepared baking sheet. The bacon can touch, but should not overlap. Spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bacon, covering all the slices. Bake for 2 hours. Allow the bacon to rest for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container between sheets of kitchen parchment or waxed paper.

a stiff pour of Scotch whisky. To dress it up for the occasion, spike it with ice cider, apple brandy and a splash of lemon juice. The result is a bold, lightly sweet indulgence that is just right to set a festive mood. To go with it, slowly candy some bacon. This is bacon so good it will haunt you. The process is slow, but effortless. The bacon also can be made ahead of time and kept at room temperature for three days (you are essentially making bacon jerky, so it won’t spoil). Just be sure to get thick-cut bacon. You want meaty and bold for this. Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times publisher Gunilla Asher, who died June 2 after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers - to Gunner!

PRETTY IN PICTURES THERE WAS A TIME that January in Aspen was a quiet time of year. Not any longer. From New Year’s to Winterskol and Gay Ski Week to X Games, it’s a month of festivals. This week, we shine the spotlight on one our favorites — thanks to its colorful cast of characters and a unique slate of events both on an off the slopes — with a look back on past Aspen Gay Ski Weeks in pictures and words (though in this case, a picture really is worth a thousand words). For more information on this year's event, see Current Events on page 6, the Jan. 9 and Jan. 16 Weekend sections of The Aspen Times and www.gayskiweek.com.

MY TOP 5, PART 2

ASPEN’S BEST THEATER OF 2014 ASPENITES WERE SPOILED with good theater in 2014. Along with the stand-out shows highlighted below, local theater lovers were given many reasons to rejoice through the summer high season and throughout the year. In May, Tony Award winners Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater staged a workshop production of their work-in-progress “Alice By Heart” at the Wheeler Opera House. At the Aspen Ideas Festival, legendary theater director Julie Taymor showed a sneak preview of the film version of her hallucinatory adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and offered an inspiring talk on her process. Longtime local theater stalwart Lee Sullivan gave a bravura final local performance in the Hudson Reed Ensemble’s “Betrayal” (and he killed the “money, money, money” speech in Thunder River’s February production of Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons”). Former “Wicked” star Allison Luff made a memorably warm turn as Jo in the musical adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women” at Theatre Aspen. And a flock of singing nuns hammed it up in Aspen Community Theatre’s “Nunsense.” I also loved Owen O’Farrell’s slimy turn as Donny in Thunder River’s production of David Mamet’s “American Buffalo.” The absence of Shakespeare in the Park this summer was a disappointment, but the Hudson Reed Ensemble’s free holiday show is a welcome addition to the Aspen theater calendar. Maybe we can get both in 2015? As the curtain rises on a new year, here’s a look back at five shows that rose to the top in 2014.

‘VENUS IN FUR’

ASPEN FRINGE FESTIVAL, JUNE

David Ledingham and Nikki Boxer both gave stunning, complex performances in this intense psychosexual fable. By turns steamy and funny — but always thoughtprovoking — the Aspen Fringe Festival’s “Venus in Fur” was a master stroke. Ledingham was spot-on as the arrogant, entitled theater director in search of an actress. And Boxer, as Vanda, who appears mysteriously in his office, was extraordinary in a role that called for her to turn on a dime between ditzy actress, fishnet-clad

seductress and enraged feminist. Given its S&M milieu, this is the kind of material that, in lesser hands, could easily be a cringe-worthy mess on stage. But with these performers, and Mike Monroney’s direction, this production of “Venus in Fur” was an unforgettable exploration of gender roles and power dynamics. It’s no wonder that David Ives’ 2011 Tony-nominated play has quickly gone on to become one of the mostproduced in America. Its twisty, multi-layered story, its sexy premise and Ives’ sharp dialogue are like theater catnip, and would make any actor or producer want to try it out. I’m grateful Fringe Fest did.

‘THE COTTAGE’

THEATRE ASPEN, JULY-AUGUST

This new play by Sandy Rustin was a deliciously over-the-top throwback sex farce with a British accent, in the Noel Coward tradition, filled with a crissing, crossing and double-crossing of love affairs and laughs to keep the audience in its thrall over two acts. Rustin and her cast in “The Cottage” managed to pull off both high-brow wit and broad-as-itgets physical comedy – sometimes simultaneously. There were slapsticky fights and chases around a cottage, guns pulled, promises made and broken and occasionally what might pass for genuine affection between characters, along with one long, climactic fart. The ensemble cast, led by Nancy Anderson as the duplicitous Sylvia Van Kipness, was clearly having a lot of fun on stage, and it was infectious. Here’s hoping that “The Cottage,” which made its regional debut in Aspen, gets a continued life on bigger stages elsewhere and that Theatre Aspen brings us more new work from talented playwrights like Rustin.

The evening, hosted by NPR’s Ophira Eisenberg (who returns this February for the Aspen Laff Festival), offered the audience ample doses of darkness and light. Stories ranged from a young woman’s harrowing journey with her family from wartorn Afghanistan through the U.S. immigration system, to one about working in Antarctica and another about an unpopular kid’s prom night, along with a yarn about living in Japan from Aspen native Petra Hanson. Each forged a palpable connection with the Wheeler crowd and proved that, despite all of our digital media consumption, sometimes nothing beats just listening to somebody tell a good story.

‘THE LION IN WINTER’

THUNDER RIVER THEATRE, DECEMBER

Few bickering couples are as much fun to watch as King Henry II and Eleanor, the wife he’s imprisoned, in James Goldman’s black comedy classic “The Lion in Winter.” Lon Winston and Trary Maddalone did the squabbling royal couple justice in Thunder River Theatre’s recent in-the-round production. Maddalone was a joy to behold, hissing and smiling throughout a wry, pitch-perfect performance as the jailed queen who relishes every chance to get under Henry’s skin and

scheme with her sons. Her flippant Eleanor paired well with Winston’s Henry. Winston played the king as a put-upon patriarch – heartless, hilarious, and with a movie gangster’s panache. The couple led a cast that made the royal intrigue of the year 1183 seem fresh and contemporary enough to be taking place right next door in Aspen.

‘THE FULL MONTY’

THEATRE ASPEN, JUNE-AUGUST

The biggest and longest production in Aspen this year, Theatre Aspen’s “The Full Monty” offered a winning mix of heart and humor. By the time the lovable, laid-off millworkers stripped at the end of this musical comedy, you couldn’t help but cheer, because it was the culmination of a classic underdog story that hit the right emotional notes and tugged the appropriate heartstrings. The 19-member cast was led by Tally Sessions, who sympathetically played Terry Lukowski, the ringleader who gets his downtrodden buddies on board for a one-night strip show to score some cash. Broadway veteran Mary Stout, as their salty piano player, delivered some show-stealing one-liners and punch-lines, in a memorably crusty, deadpan performance. atravers@aspentimes.com

‘ON THIN ICE’

THE MOTH, WHEELER OPERA HOUSE, MARCH

This live performance of the popular storytelling radio program “The Moth” was greeted with a sold-out crowd at the Wheeler Opera House. It featured five real stories, told by the people who lived them, under a spotlight on an unadorned stage. Yet it was one of the most exhilarating theater experiences in Aspen in recent memory.

Bella

Meet our sweet Bella girl. Although Bella had a rough start and suffered neglect and abuse, she is full of love and wants nothing more than to be in a loving home forever. Her foster mom said she is an absolute angel and a real cuddle bunny. She said she is so gentle and once she feels safe is very affectionate. Bella loves to go for walks and hikes but still needs to stay on a leash as some things still startle her. She needs a home with a confident owner to show her she is safe and the world is a good place! Bella is good on the leash and doesn’t pull unless she gets scared. She looks like a shepherd mix of some sort, weighs about 50 pounds and we are guessing her to be about 3 years old. She is house trained, has a super soft coat, is fine when left alone - not destructive at all. She loves other dogs and is playful. We do not know about cats. Bella is now spayed, current on her vaccinations, de-wormed, nails trimmed and micro chipped. If you are interested, please first fill out an Adoption Application on www.luckydayrescue.org and then call Kelley on 970-379-4606. LUCKY DAY ANIMAL RESCUE OF COLORADO

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE FRIENDS’ HUT’ ON JUNE 18, 1980 two planes carrying 10 Crested Butte and Aspen residents collided in mid-air over East Maroon Pass. But the tragedy and the lives it ended left more than a legacy of grief. It motivated a group of dedicated friends and volunteers to create an oasis of healing, in the spirit of mountain adventure, in the form of the Friends’ Hut deep in the wilderness between Aspen and Crested Butte, which opened in 1985. That’s the story that Aspen Times columnist Paul Andersen, Crested Butte writer/photographer Xavier Fané and others set out to tell in the enormously moving new book “The Friends’ Hut: A Living Memorial in the Elk Mountains.” This lavishly illustrated glossy soft cover book is a fascinating chronicle of how the hut came to be, and how its

volunteer board has kept it running. The experience of reading the book is a lot like huddling close in a backcountry hut and swapping stories in good company. From Andersen, Fané and a rotating cast of storytellers, you learn about the people whose deaths birthed the hut and those who raised $45,000 to build it, and then trekked to construct it beneath Star Peak. You hear reflections on its meaning and some colorful tales — like how Friends’ Hut board members and others nearly burned it down with an oversized bonfire, and how they got solar panels to it — via llama — in the mid-1980s. A section of the book includes notes and doodles from the Friends’ Hut logbook. Another includes newspaper clippings from over the years about its construction. It offers an overview of accessing it via Brush
