THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

POPULAR MUSIC PERFORMING AS Late Night Radio, Alex Medellin has been making a name for himself on Denver’s booming Denver electronic scene in recent years.

Coming out of a hip-hop background, the prolific DJ and producer has an uncanny and original ear for samples and sounds that get a club moving.

Late Night Radio comes to Aspen to kick off Memorial Day weekend and headline Belly Up on Friday, May 26.

Late Night Radio’s releases have included collaborations with singers and rappers, but his bestknown work is the wildly popular “Vinyl Restoration” series. Over four volumes of “Vinyl Restoration” releases, he’s carved out a niche for himself with laid-back and soulful club tracks that mix snippets of dialogue with old-school sounds from funk, soul, rock and hip-hop.

Those tracks and his vaunted live shows last year landed Late Night Radio on Westword’s list of the 10 best DJs in Denver.

The show is scheduled to begin at 9:30 p.m. It’s free until 10 p.m. and $5 thereafter. More info at www.bellyupaspen.com.

For more on Late Night Radio and an interview with Medellin, pick up the Friday, May 26, Weekend section of The Aspen Times or go to aspentimes.com.

Late Night Radio will headline Belly Up on May 26.

“INDEPENDENCE WAY IN GOOD CONDITION,” reported The Aspen Times on June 24, 1960. “The Independence Pass road, which was opened two weeks ago, is in good condition, travelers who used it recently reported. Except for a 25-yard portion on the eastern approach, the road is clear and hard. At this point, water from melting snow has made the highway muddy and vehicles coming from both directions must follow one set of shallow ruts. Snow pack at and near the top of the pass is good and ski tracks made recently can be seen on several slopes.” The photograph above shows travelers inspecting the snowbanks on Independence Pass in the 1960s.

REST UP: LAIDBACK CAMPING PAD CAR CAMPERS TAKE NOTE: You can get great sleep on the LaidBack Pad. It’s big, bulky and expensive. But this ultra-plush foam pad can make your night a dream.

The pad is built on a thick ply of foam and fitted with a soft fleece top.

The foam is 2-3/8 inches thick and feels almost like a bed.

I grew up camping with a set of raw foam pads my parents bought in the 1970s. The LaidBack Pad is a new iteration of that old “memory foam”

design, including a sleek look and straps to roll it tight.

A polyester exterior gives durability. Unfurled it measures 72 inches long and 24 inches wide.

Like my parents’ old pads, the memory foam on this new model is not waterproof. The company warns to use the pad “at your own discretion in damp or wet conditions.”

Additional caveats? There are a few: This pad costs $209, and rolled up it is the size of a common tent.

Ma y 25 - Ma y 3 1 , 2017

It weighs 8.5 lbs. Don’t plan to take this on a backpacking trip But for anyone who hates sleeping on the hard ground, the LaidBack Pad is a quick solution.

The only downside is guaranteed envy from your fellow campers trying to sleep on a traditional thin foam ply.

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES A NATIONAL DAY FOR EVERYTHING WE ALL KNOW the traditionally popular holidays like Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, etc., etc. On these days, banks and post offices close and most of us get the day off. The holidays are intertwined into our culture and feel as natural as the weekends do. But, many may not realize that we actually have a holiday or two every single day even BARBARA PLATTS when we don’t get work off for them. They come in the form of “national days” and, maybe partially because of social media, they seem to be all the rage right now.

Just about every single object, fad, vice and social movement has its own national day. And most don’t even get a day fully their own.

One day can be the official day for numerous different things. For example, on the day this column will be published — May 25 — it’ll be National Brown Bag It Day, National Missing Children’s Day, Red Nose Day, National Tap Dance Day, National Wine Day and Towel Day (whatever that could possibly mean).

Yes, towels and wine and missing children can all share the same national day. It’s totally legitimate, apparently. To say we are obsessed with holidays and milestones

PHOTOS COURTESY OF JENNA SPARKS PHOTOGRAPHY

in this country would be a vast understatement.

It’s not entirely clear how a national holiday becomes a thing.

As far as I can tell, the group that’s somewhat in charge of this holiday-naming rampage is NationalDayCalendar.com. If the day is on that website, then it’s deemed at least somewhat credible. Apparently, this website gets more than 10,000 submissions for national holidays per year, but they only actually approve 20 to 25.

Still, even though their process is selective, there exists an unorthodox amount of themed days. Because of this ridiculous surplus, it becomes important, possibly even vital, to pick and choose the national days you like best to participate in. For example, April 6 was National Barbara Day. Several people told me via Facebook. It would have been silly, even ignorant, for me not to partake in some fashion. But then there are other days, like National Hydration Day (June 23), that don’t make any sense to me. I’m not going to celebrate hydration one day of the year. Hopefully, if I want to be healthy, I’ll celebrate that everyday of my life.

Obviously, I have mixed feelings when it comes to nationally themed days. I think they’re inherently ridiculous, but I’m also not one to ever forgo a celebration, as pointless

as it may be.

So, because of this, I celebrated May 20, perhaps better known as National Whiskey Day, with a particularly indulgent event. In downtown Denver last Saturday was an all-you-can-consume whiskey and doughnuts party. Appropriately named Whiskey + Doughnuts, this event takes place in many major U.S. cities in May. It’s similar to being in the Grand Tasting tent at the Food & Wine Classic. Only, instead of foie gras, they had strawberry- and blueberry-filled doughnut holes and, instead of bottomless samplings of wine, they served endless half shots of local and national whiskeys.

Everything from Breckenridge Bourbon to George Dickel’s Tennessee Whiskey. Now, I’m not a huge whiskey drinker myself, and if I’m going for something sweet I tend to choose chocolate instead of frosting-covered pastry puffs, but I was pleasantly surprised by how the liquor and dessert paired well together. Plus, just about every attendee was as giddy as a 7-year-old on Christmas morning. And yes, that included my three friends and me.

We left the event a couple hours after we arrived, feeling as satiated as humanely possible. At least until the the sugar high wore off and we started craving something salty.

The event on its own would’ve been

pretty special, but the fact that we took on heavy amounts of sugar and bourbon in the 24 hours deemed to be National Whiskey Day made it all the more special. We were like heroes, patriots, really. We weren’t indulging just because we could, we were doing it because that’s what we were supposed to do! At the end of the evening, we all patted ourselves on the backs and fell into a deep slumber, one that can only be curated from massive amounts of sucrose and ethanol surging through the bloodstream.

Every day of the year there will always be something to celebrate.

This does not mean you have to participate every single time, but pick a few times a year (or a month, or a week) when you can let loose and indulge in a themed national holiday. You can always find the ideal national holidays to fit your taste.

As for me, I’m counting down the hours until National Hot Dog Day (July 19). That’s going to be wild. #Noshame Barbara Platts is warming up to national days. She may even submit some of her own ideas. Maybe National Cook Indian Food Day? National Dance With Your Dog Day? The options are endless.

TAYLOR325’S SWIFT SAIL A SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY SOJOURN

IN THE WORLD of wine marketing no anniversary is too small to promote.

It seems that every winery wants to tout a 10th anniversary of this release or a wine that is a “perfect match” for Father’s Day or Groundhog Day. And I get it. But the vast majority of the ideas are a stretch and some are just downright cheesy.

KELLY J. Ah, but not this one.

HAYES A SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT

This year, Taylor Fladgate, the famed port house with an extended history and reputation for quality, celebrated the — get this — 325th anniversary of its founding. To celebrate this august milestone they asked Portuguese single-handed, solo yachtsman Ricardo Diniz, the brand’s “sea ambassador,” to sail a cask of port from Taylor’s port cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, to London. His voyage replicates the first such transfer in the year 1692. Here in America we were holding trials and hanging witches that year.

Earlier in May, Diniz sailed a 60foot yacht, christened appropriately as Taylor325, from the Portuguese coast to the mouth of the Thames, up the river, under the Tower Bridge, which was raised to allow passage, and into the very heart of London.

There, he delivered his prize cargo, the port cask. It was just in time for a special black tie dinner for members of the press and trade and special friends of the brand that has been called “The Rolls Royce of Port.” Now that’s how you mark an anniversary.

But it gets better.

Diniz, today, is in England preparing to sail Taylor325, by himself, from Plymouth, England, to Newport, Rhode Island, in OSTAR 2017. The race will set sail on Wednesday, May 29. OSTAR, which stands for Original Singlehanded Trans-Atlantic Race, is a prestigious and renowned contest that has been held every four years since its origination in 1960. The crossing of the Atlantic will take approximately 21 days, and this will be the first time a Portuguese

Ma y 25 - Ma y 3 1 , 2017

yachtsman will compete in the race.

In a statement, the 40-year old solo-sailor said, “This is not just a special moment for Taylor’s. This is an important part of port and Portugal’s history and something I am proud to represent and share.”

Taylor Fladgate has also created a special bottling to mark the establishment of the brand and that first sailing. Monikered as the “Taylor Fladgate 325th Anniversary Reserve Tawny Port,” the wine comes in a squat, onion-shaped bottle that replicates one used in the 1600s. Taylor Fladgate winemaker David Guimaraen is the sixth generation of his family to be involved in the port business.

For the anniversary bottling, he selected a range of wines that have been aging 10, 20, 30 and 40 years as Old Tawny lots.

A tawny port is a wine that has taken on a “tawny” color from extensive time spent in a barrel, rather than just the two years that a vintage port will age in barrel before bottling. Guimaraen’s blended these lots to form a wine that is described by the port house as an “opulent and seductive aged tawny port.” We shall see.

A FORTIFIED EXPERIENCE

Of the world’s special wines, port is known as much for its storied history as it is its unique flavor profiles. In the mid-1600s, there was a thriving trading relationship between England and Portugal and there already existed a community of Brits and Scots living on the sunny coast of Portugal. Trade agreement between the two monarchies gave ex-patriots special privileges and preferential customs duties. Simultaneously, a rift developed between England and France, creating an opportunity for English/ Portuguese wine merchants to corner the market in England.

It was around this time that Job Bearsley, an English merchant, traveled to Portugal with an eye toward making his mark in the wine business. From his base in Vila Nova de Gaia, just south of Oporto, Bearsley founded the company that eventually became Taylor’s, or Taylor Fladgate, as the brand

The Taylor325 60-foot yacht was built in 1991 but has been refurbished as the flagship of the brand.

is known today here in the USA. And it was from there that the first cask was shipped to London.

While the practice of pouring brandy or grape spirits into the casks before shipping to help preserve the wines, called fortification, was used at that time, it was not until the second half of 18th century that blending wines with spirits became an important part of the production process. That evolved because, well, it simply tasted good. And in fact, it was not until 1850 that fortification became the standard with all port wines. Today the fortified wines of the region offer rich and flavorful tasting experiences that are sought after by sippers across the globe, not just in England.

Let’s hope that the voyager

Ricardo Diniz kept a solid ration of the celebratory Taylor Fladgate 325th Anniversary Reserve Tawny Port for his trans-Atlantic crossing. He deserves it.

Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE TAYLOR FLADGATE 325TH ANNIVERSARY RESERVE TAWNY PORT I have not had an opportunity to taste this celebratory blend but among those who attended the introduction the response was positive. It will be on sale in the States in June and will retail for $37.99. Decanter Magazine, the British wine bible, said about the wine: “Lifted but dense dried and candied fruit nose along with chocolatecovered coffee beans and Christmas baking spices. Multilayered, plush palate with a concentrated, juicy, bright mulberry core of acidity surrounded by rich sticky toffee pudding and warm gingerbread notes. Complex but approachable — a delicious tawny.” The publication awarded the wine with a 94 score.

HAPPY ANIMAL

BAMBOO BEAR IS BACK FOR SUMMER WITH A TASTE OF VIETNAM

SNOWFLAKES SWIRLED outside my window last Friday, where I’d been typing at my desk all afternoon. As the clock creeped toward 8 p.m., my stomach rumbled. I had to escape my apartment and take a walk already! So I bundled up and set out in search of food. I knew just where to go for a big bowl of warming broth, a place that AMANDA RAE would welcome me to sit at an elbow-worn counter and slurp noodles solo: Bamboo Bear.

Good news: the little Vietnamese restaurant tucked in that dilapidated building on the corner of Cooper Aveneu and Original Street has secured its lease until at least September. Its owners, chef Vincent “Vinny” Bagford and manager and wife Xuan (pronounced “soon”) Ha, were prepared to close for good along with the ski lifts. But now, having returned from their annual sojourn to Ha’s native land, the couple is recharged and ready to make the most of the next four months (or longer, fingers crossed). Seekers of authentic Southeast Asian street food, rejoice!

I arrive refreshed and rosycheeked. Though confident that savory beef pho (bo) with fistfuls of fresh herbs is in my future, Ha tempts me with the day’s special: meatball soup. She describes it as a rich onion broth made from pork and chicken and tender pork-mushroom meatballs with garlic and ginger. Plus soba-ramen noodles. Sold!

I climb onto a stool midway down the counter fit for 14, where view of the long open kitchen is partly shielded by racks of condiments and napkins.

Behind me, a small room with seating for 12 around the “Table of Inspiration,” collaged with photographs of the couple’s travels. Pictures of family feasts

Ma y 25 - Ma y 3 1 , 2017

in Vietnam figure prominently — that’s where Bagford and Ha pick up new recipes and inspiration.

Twelve more stools are outside.

Wearing a navy bandanna headband and quick to chat, chef Bagford is the kind of friendly, cool dude you might meet at an outdoor music festival. In fact, a funky guitar riff jams from speakers overhead.

“What’s up, Tim?” Bagford greets a regular who steps through the lime green door, here to grab an order to-go. Most customers will do the same on this cold, quiet, magical evening. Another counter diner and I share a conspiratorial glance: We have this gem all to ourselves.

It’s hard to believe that Bamboo Bear opened less than a year ago, on June 7, 2016 — it feels like it’s been here for years. (Perhaps because it lives where Johnny McGuire’s sandwich shop operated for more than two decades.)

Opening week lines queued up so quickly that Bagford and Ha — at first a two-person operation — upgraded to a more extensive menu.

Nearly everything has become a signature: giant pho soup bowls, piled with rice noodles and bean sprouts (beef, chicken, vegetarian); Korean bibimbap plates (rice, egg, house-made kimchi, protein such as pork, chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu); zippy rice noodle salads and build-your-own lettuce cups; ginger-scallion-soy chicken breast or double-fried, quartered, crispy chicken with sweet-spicy “Bear Breath” dipping sauce. (Bagford says foreign customers put it on par with “crispylicious” Jollibee in the Philippines). Portions are generous, most with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumber, carrot spirals and accompanying sauces, herbs, and toppings. (Thai bird-eye chile upon request.)

“It’s light, flavorful, fresh, but unfortunately, a lot of people think it’s Thai,” Bagford says. “We don’t have pad thai or stir-fried noodles,

and not everything’s gonna be spicy.”

There are summer rolls (add shrimp); pork-back ribs and crispy chicken wings sold by the pound; steamed or fried dumplings; BBQ or pork-egg steamed buns the size of softballs; and French-Vietnamese bánh mì (marinated grilled pork is classic, with marinated daikon, jalapeño, veggies, mayo, soy) on traditional baguette from a Vietnamese bakery in Denver. Most lunch special combos are 10 bucks or less; Vietnamese coffee with sweet milk and crushed ice is a treat at $5.

The meatball soup arrives. It’s the size of my skull! When I lean over to inhale its hot fragrance, steam condenses on my face. Bliss. It’s rich, as Ha promised, yet bright — exactly what I’ve been craving, yet more satisfying than I could have imagined.

“I fell in love with all the different meatballs they have over there,” Bagford says, reflecting on the April trip. “When I hung out at the water park in (Vietnam), that was the snack (at) the concession stand: all these different meatballs, four or five of them on a stick, fried

real quick. (The noodles we had in Japan in the airport during a 20hour layover.) This isn’t a traditional soup, per se.”

Another new Bamboo Bear recipe hews traditional, though: crab soup. “We make a rich seafood broth with giant squid, dried shrimp, pork bones, and tomatoes,” Bagford explains. It’s topped with fresh crab, drizzled egg, tofu, and spiced tomatoes — a specialty of Ha’s sixth aunt. Bagford plans to showcase more seafood this summer, maybe a Korean-fried pork cutlet. Yellow chicken curry over rice has been popular lately, too.

Cook Michael delivers a paper boat cradling Vietnamese street corn, another special that will stick around: a steamed, grilled ear doused in charred scallion oil and topped with crispy shallots. The toppings melt into the hot kernels; each bite is sweet and juicy with a double-hit of allium and smoky char. Whoa.

“People enjoy the food! They keep coming back,” says Ha, in her singsong voice, ever cheerful from the front-of-house. “We have a group that came in three times a week.”

Well-traveled Aspen clientele, Bagford says, gets it. There are no reservations, no waitstaff, no alcohol. Décor is “hokey” by design. Food is focused on flavor and technique, using quality Asian ingredients sourced during Denver trips.

“Food is the universal language,” he continues. “It’s what we all know. That food experience is so powerful and nostalgic.”

The chef ’s first memory: the Vietnamese restaurant close to his childhood home near the Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio.

“I remember my dad taking me there, and my first taste of sambal and nuoc mam (nouc is water in Vietnamese, so nouc mam is ‘gush sauce’) on ricenoodle salad and spring rolls — I’ll never forget those flavors.

They had this big picture of the Mekong Delta. I remember thinking to myself, Man, it would be so cool to be over there and learn how they cook.”

Ask Bagford about his Charleston, S.C.-turned Vietnam-turned Aspen story while sitting at the counter — it’s a doozy. Locals recognize the chef and Ha for their six-year tenure at the Cliffhouse atop Buttermilk Mountain, where they introduced Asian specialties, including her grandfather’s pho.

Mountain-goers begged for a year-round operation. Enter the gritty charm of the shuttered Johnny McGuire’s last June.

“The space just screamed, ‘little Asian chophouse,’” Bagford says. He talks of food as comfort.

“Xuan’s totally homesick,” he mentions while sharing their meet-cute story, “and what can settle it but food?”

I slurp; Bagford talks. I slurp some more. An hour passes. As I prepare to re-enter the snowglobe, now dark, I want to take this moment with me as a souvenir.

For as long as Bagford and Ha are here, each meal is a reminder that whenever hungry or aimless, Bamboo Bear is sure to feed my belly and soothe my spirit.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by LEANNE ITALIE for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SUMMER SMOKE Summer’s on its way and that means grilling for many people, so why not try smoking? Steven Raichlen, who wrote “The Barbecue! Bible,” has followed with “Project Smoke,” also the name of a PBS series he hosts that will launch its second season over Memorial Day weekend. The step-bystep book, out this month from Workman Publishing, covers gear, technique, recipes and the science behind the cooking method that Raichlen shows can be used on everything from appetizers to dessert to cocktails. “When you smoke cocktails you are joining two worlds: the cocktail world and the barbecue world. You’re sort of creating barbecue you can drink. I’m not the first guy to come up with this concept.

When you think about Scotch whisky, it’s a whisky that’s made with smoked barley, so thousands of years ago people conceived the notion that smoke and booze are a very good combination,” Raichlen says. “Mezcal is another classic example. I know this summer I’m going to be making a lot of mezcalinis. That’s sort of a cross between a mojito and a margarita. It’s made with muddled mint and cucumber.

Mezcal is an agave cactus-based spirit from the Oaxaca region in Mexico. The cactus hearts are smoke-roasted in a pit before distilling so it has a good, smoky flavor. I like to beef that flavor up by adding smoke using a smoking gun to fill up the cocktail in the pitcher.”

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

SPRINGTIME!

MAY SELBY

AS WE’VE NEARLY cleared our way through mud season, spring’s coming to a close, making way for all the excitement that spells summertime in the Rockies.

Taking advantage of beautiful conditions and settings outside of town, many locals have hit the road for weekend respites. A group of fun-seeking dads orchestrated their third annual fathers/sons and daughters’ trip on the Colorado River to Ruby Horsethief Canyons recently. Weddings in Utah and Arizona are

documented below with brides, grooms and ring bearers from the Roaring Fork Valley.

Denver beckons for those interested in its burgeoning restaurant scene (Beast + Bottle on Capitol Hill is one of my new faves) to its acclaimed art museums and galleries. On view now through July 16 is an exhibit not to be missed titled “Shade: Clyfford Still/Mark Bradford,” a collaborative presentation at both the Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum. Paintings by contemporary

Tanner Kirsch and Sydney Prikryl, of New York City and Aspen, tied the knot in Scottsdale on Saturday, May 13. Many Aspen friends joined for the wedding extravaganza including this crew of Simon Daniels, John Miller, Kim Edwards and Jesse Bouchard. Courtesy photo.

TESLA TURNS ON THE

PA S S xxx

AN ELECTRIC CAR CLIMBS INDEPENDENCE PASS

BY KELLY J. HAYES PHOTOS BY AUSTIN COLBERT

AT HIGH NOON TODAY, May 25, Independence Pass will open to automobiles kicking off the summer season in Aspen. Our wine columnist Kelly Hayes couldn’t wait, so he concocted a plan to take a drive on Colorado’s most iconic road a bit early. In a Tesla. Here’s his story:

S

mitten. That is the only way to describe the feeling.

After a day of skiing this past winter, I turned a corner and saw the falcon wings of a Tesla Model X spread wide open as it sat parked in front of a stylish Aspen eatery. The vehicle’s clean, spacious, luxurious interior seduced and beckoned me to come closer. “Want to take a ride?” the car seemed to ask.

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

F

Ma y 25 - Ma y 3 1 , 2017

This week I accepted that invite, taking a Tesla Model X P100D on a heart-pounding, jaw-dropping trip over a then-closed Independence Pass. It was a test drive that forever altered the way I will think about driving.

Sound hyperbolic? Not as hyper as the sensations I felt on the drive. The experience melded Aspen history, incomparable springtime beauty and an automotive fantasy into what was, literally, a video game brought to life.

The Tesla Model X P100D is an all-electric, luxury crossover SUV that is among the fastest and most technologically advanced cars ever produced. With a price tag of $158,400 for the car I drove (it featured the aptly named Ludicrous mode), the Model X has been knocking out automotive

journalists ever since it was introduced in August. Like me, most of the journalists run out of superlatives.

THE FIRST TASTE I arrived at the sleek art gallery-like Cooper Street Tesla showroom at 7:30 on a cool and cloudy Monday morning.

After a 40-minute introduction from a capable, qualified and enthusiastic Tesla rep that felt as much like an Apple store tutorial as it did an auto demo, I claimed the car as my own.

Setting my seat to a comfortable position and the radio to the Slacker satellite classic rock station, I dropped it into drive and rolled off silently (the car makes less noise than the proverbial church mouse) to pick up Aspen Times sports editor/photographer Austin

Sunshine on the Mountain: The author takes a back seat under theTesla’s Falcon wing on the top of Independence Pass.

Colbert. There had been snow flying the night before so the road was wet, but the morning dew was just burning off, leaving ethereal clouds of moisture rising from the pavement. We headed toward Highway 82 with a touch of trepidation, but ample anticipation.

The first thing to strike me as we turned toward the Pass was how vast the windscreen was. A massive piece of glass revealed the beauty of the world. Never before had I experienced the North Star Nature Preserve like this from a car. As I fiddled with the GPS and the cameras and the audio system on the car’s computer touch screen monitor, I felt for the first time how the car’s intuitive braking system slowed it each time I took my foot off of the accelerator. It

provided a sense of security that was unexpected and it made me want to see just how fast this thing really was.

So, as we rounded the next turn and found a short straightaway, I hit it.

Instantly the speed was overwhelming. The force literally made me dizzy and my body was forced firmly back into my comfy leather seat. There was no roar, no jolt, just a smooth, wicked fast acceleration from 0 to 70 in less than four seconds. I took my foot off the accelerator and, even before I could transition to the brake pedal, I felt the braking system working on its own to slow the car. I was gobsmacked. Never had I felt anything remotely like that.

It was not just that it was fast. It was the way it was fast. The smoothness, the unrippled, aerodynamic … untethering … of the movement was just so, I don’t know … sensual. We have all been in planes and felt the feeling of acceleration and we have all been in fast cars and heard the tires squeal and the engine scream as we were pushed back by the G-force. But this was different. It was elegant.

I had an image in my mind of pulling up to a stoplight next to Vin Diesel on Sunset Boulevard. He in his “Fast and Furious” machine and me in my Tesla Model X P100D. In my vision, Vin sees what I got and just throws a friendly wave as the light turns green, not bothering to test me and my SUV. I wanted more of this.

A FEELING FOR INDEPENDENCE A couple of miles up we arrived at the gate that marks the closure of Highway 82 on the way to Independence Pass on the Aspen side. Here we met the burly Tim Holbrook, who, with his

team of 11, is responsible for getting the Pass open each year on the Thursday before Memorial Day. The Colorado Department of Transportation had given Austin and me a pass to the Pass so that we could do a story on the annual opening and assess the road. Tim was to be our guide.

Tim has a love for all things fast, including roller coasters, and he was fascinated by the vehicle that pulled up to the gate. Not just the car, but the technology inside of it. I explained that the five-door, sevenpassenger car weighs in at around 5,400 pounds but that Tesla claims it can go from 0 to 60 mph in a lightening quick 2.9 seconds. He just chuckled, climbed into his big white CDOT truck and said, “Follow me.”

The sun had come out, the river was running high and skies were cobalt blue as we moved on up the road. I thought of the cyclists who had ridden Ride for the Pass just a few days before and lamented that they had not had the picture-perfect weather we were enjoying. We wound our way behind Tim, our escort, up past the Grottos and the Narrows, and Lincoln Creek, playing a little cat and mouse. We would occasionally drop back a bit, and then bite down hard on the accelerator for a few small shots of adrenaline.

The snow on the peaks was fresh and blindingly white. In the 150year history of this trail to paradise there may have been days as pretty.

But assuredly none prettier.

The Tesla took the most vertical of grades on Independence Pass like they were as flat as bowling alleys. The low center of gravity, a result of the weight of the battery that runs the length of the vehicle under the floorboard, gave

the car sticky stability, and I was hard pressed to get any side-to-side yaw.

This, on a road renowned for making people queasy because it’s so turny.

As we reached the ghost town of Independence, I was struck by the contrast between the resilience and resolve of the people who forged the Pass and ourselves. They struggled up and over 12,000-foot peaks in wagons drawn by horses and mules to establish this collection of wooden buildings. All we did was set the proper temperature on our heated seats, turn on some tunes and gently touch an accelerator. There was one comparable feature though. Both the electric car we were riding in and the horse-drawn wagons shared the same zero carbon footprint. A remarkable irony.

After a stop to see the town and read the history of the Pass, we got back in the car for the final ascent to the top of the 12,095-foot-high road. At the top it was time to do what thousands of tourists do every year: take pictures.

We are pretty sure that this was the first time that a Tesla Model X P100D had ever crested this, the second-highest paved pass in Colorado (Trail Ridge Road clocks in at 88 feet higher, but who’s counting?), so we had to capture an image of those sexy Falcon wing doors.

Of all the impressive state-of-the-art technology in this space-age automobile, the doors seem to get the most attention.

For some, the image of the side passenger doors opening skyward may remind them of the Mercedes Benz 300 SL that James Bond once drove.

But for most, the memory is from the DeLorean that became the time-traveler from “Back to the Future.” Again, how ironic. The Falcon wings on the Tesla Model X P100D open with a touch of a

THE ICONIC INDEPENDENCE PASS Today, thanks to the efforts of the Colorado Department of Transportation team that has been working for weeks, Highway 82’s Independence Pass will open for vehicle traffic. This continues a tradition that sees the steep and twisty road open each year on the Thursday before Memorial Day. And yes, there will be a line of cars waiting at the gate.

Less than 150 years ago, the first group of prospectors crossed what was then known as Hunters Pass on a journey from Leadville to find mineral riches in the Roaring Fork Valley. As a silver boom began to take hold, the Valley’s growing economy needed an umbilical chord to the real world and Hunters Pass became just that.

B. Clark Wheeler, a forward-thinking Aspen entrepreneur, had a crew build, by hand, the first road over the 12,095-foot pass in 1881. It was a toll road that followed the path cut by mule trains before it. For 25¢ a horse and 50¢ a wagon, settlers and purveyors could bring supplies over the 43-mile road from Twin Lakes to Aspen. Before the arrival of the railroads into Aspen from Glenwood Springs in the late 1880s, the pass was the only way in.

The name of the pass was later changed to Independence to honor the gold-mining community of the same name that was founded after gold was discovered nearby on the Fourth of July in 1879. In the Quiet Years, the Pass fell into disrepair and it was not until 1927 that improvements were completed to the old toll road. It was eventually paved in its entirety in 1967.

Since that time it has become one of America’s iconic roads and is often on lists of the world’s most exciting and scenic drives. Locals know it as a treasure.

button and sensors assure that they never open too far and hit an object above.

Tesla’s co-founder, CEO and lead imagineer Elon Musk, actually stood under an open Falcon wing when the Model X concept was first introduced to the automotive press. It is a shrewd example of how his taste in automotive design and attention

to customer detail is changing the way people drive, and desire, cars.

After the photo ops and a quick run around the hairpin Eureka turn just past the summit, it was time to get back down to reality. On the way, I again marveled at the speed, stability and luxury of the vehicle.

But the lasting impression was

that the Tesla Model X P100D was a work of imagination, daring and design. That Tesla has changed not just the efficiency and carbon footprint of cars, but of driving itself.

This is the future. And I, for one, am smitten. malibukj@aol.com

WANT TO TAKE A RIDE? As amazing as it may seem, Tesla wants people to take these incredibly expensive cars out of the showroom and out onto the roads for themselves.

If you want to go for a ride you’ll need an appointment and a driver’s license and you’ll be good to go. In some cases, you’ll even be able to keep your car overnight. Cars and schedules will fill up fast so be sure to call soon.

But be forewarned, you’re gonna want one of your own.

Tesla Showroom 422 E. Cooper Ave., Aspen Phone: 970-315-0021 Hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: The east side of Independence Pass offers views that will blow your doors off; there are 12 sensors on the Model X to alert drivers to myriad potential threats ; the Tesla showroom on Cooper Avenue, where potential customers can sign up for a test drive or purchase a Model X online looks more like an art gallery than an auto dealership; The view from the oversized windshield only enhances a drive over Independence Pass.

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

by ANDREW TRAVERS

BEFORE HE WAS BASQUIAT BEFORE HE HAD canvases to paint on, Jean-Michel Basquiat turned his genius eye and hand to sweatshirts, to a radiator and a television, to a bottle of Pepto-Bismol and on himself.

Everything was a canvas for the kid, not yet 20, when he moved in with Alexis Adler at a sixth-floor walk-up on East 12th St. in the East Village of Manhattan in 1979. He’d drag in junk from the street and transform it.

Lucky for Basquiat’s legions of admirers, Adler saved just about everything. And this spring, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver curated it into “Basquiat Before Basquiat: East 12th Street, 1979-1980.”

The fascinating show, which drew roadtrippers from here in the mountains and across the U.S., includes just about everything Basquiat made in the year he lived with Adler. The body of work gives us the artist as a young man, just before he broke out as a painter and became the giant of downtown New York’s legendary 1980s art scene.

“The derelict streets of the East Village provided his raw materials and he would bring his finds up the six flights of stairs to incorporate into his art,” Adler says in the exhibition.

These days, Basquiat — who died at age 27 in 1988 — is more myth than man, with paintings commanding prices in the tens of millions. This show gives us Basquiat the kid, in thrall to his art but not yet committed to painting. Basqiuat before fame and fortune, before Warhol, just seven years but seemingly ages before the deadly overdose. The show offers a recreation of the apartment and of the building’s walls that Basquiat covered in graffiti (which was already bearing his “SAMO” tag).

It boasts reams of archival material — his notebooks, doodles, paintings and sculpture along with Adler’s photographs of in-home performance art: sequential shots of a young Basquiat in a football helmet fiddling with a television he’s installed in their refrigerator, goofing around in broken eyeglasses and Silly Putty mask, with half of his head shaved to the scalp, and playing the clarinet in the bathroom.

He was making money for paint and rent by selling sweatshirts on the street,

and many of those garments are on display here, as well.

With most artists, this kind of ephemera and juvenilia is left to scholars, boxed up and cloistered away in a university library somewhere and not displayed for the public. Many artists, of course, would rather keep it that way. Ernest Hemingway, when an editor sought to publish old short stories from his high school days, famously rebuffed him in a letter and declared, “It is like publishing the contents of a wastebasket.”

But with Basquiat, this work seems somehow key to what was to come.

It’s the warmup before his breakout run of monumental painting — in that way, it’s reminiscent of another recent watershed Colorado show: the Denver Art Museum’s 2012 “Becoming Van Gogh.” Spotting Basquiat’s signature zig-zag lines in a sketch here, or one of his famed crowns in a notebook there, whisper of the Earth-shaking breakthrough that will come shortly after he left East 12th Street.

ABOVE: A television painted by Jean-Michel Basquiat, from “Basquiat Before Basquiat.”

In his early days,the artist used junk from the streets of New York instead of canvas.
