This “freshmen class” will certainly have its stories to tell, but this week, Etta Meyer talks with locals who have spent years — in some cases, decades — beyond their first making Aspen home. She begins the conversation with one simple question: Why Aspen?

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
by ANDREW TRAVERS
COMEDY DAVID SEDARIS could
write the phone book and still split you open with laughter. The beloved humorist has turned his pen to sundry topics from dysfunctional family life, living abroad, relationships, drug addiction and politics. During his most recent stop in Aspen, in 2012 at the Wheeler Opera House, he brought down the house with a story about getting a colonoscopy and an IV of Propofol, taking a blissful trip to the post-procedure “farting room.” “I realized it was no different than playing a wind instrument,” he told the Aspen crowd of the involuntary ensuing passing of gas. “There were other musicians behind other curtains.” Along with reading the kinds of essays that made him famous, that stop in Aspen showcased Sedaris’ fictional monologues (including one in the voice of an American teen who gets a hilarious British personality makeover on a trip to London). He’s returning to the Wheeler for an evening of storytelling on Saturday, Nov. 5, on an American tour where he’s been revisiting his old diaries. The show was announced and sold out almost immediately. Sedaris is scheduled to hit the stage at 8 p.m. Whatever he brings to the stage, count on laughing your tail off and experiencing what promises to be the cultural high point of this autumn in Aspen.
Humorist David Sedaris headlines the Wheeler Opera House on Saturday, Nov. 5.
CURRENTEVENTS POPULAR MUSIC
An exhibition of Julian Schnabel’s “plate paintings” will open at the Aspen Art Museum on Friday, Nov. 4.
Amanda Shires will play Belly Up on Monday, Nov. 7.
THE SINGER-SONGWRITER and fiddle player Amanda Shires has embarked on a phenomenal solo career that followed her teen years with the Texas Playboys and collaborations with the likes of John Prine, Billy Joe Shaver and her husband Jason Isbell. Now touring in support of her new album, “My Piece of Land,” Shires headlines Belly Up Aspen on Monday, Nov. 7. The show is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. with Colter Wall opening. Tickets are $10, available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com.
ART THESE DAYS, Julian Schnabel is a giant in the worlds of visual art and popular film. But it all started with some broken plates. Schnabel’s large-scale “plate paintings,” the worlds that first brought him to international attention, are getting their first museum presentation at the Aspen Art Museum. The show features works from 1978 to 1986 and opens on Friday, Nov. 4 (running through Feb. 19). The museum has additionally been showcasing his films this autumn, the third and final of which is his extraordinary biopic “Basquiat,” playing Nov. 18 at the museum.

“COLORADO VACATION IN 1935 RESULTS IN NEW ASPEN STORE,” announced The Aspen Times on Feb. 13, 1958. “A trip to Colorado with his parents ultimately resulted in Don Hatfield’s moving to Aspen to open a grocery store 23 years later. From Ponca City, Oklahoma, Hatfield recently moved into the Mesa Store building on Main Street, where he intends to open a new grocery store and butcher shop. Moving to Aspen with the new shop owner were his wife, Dorothy Jean, and two daughters, Sarah, 7, and Susan, 5. The family will inhabit one of the two apartments on the second floor of the store building. Before coming here Hatfield was engaged in the retail food and meat business with his father and brother in Oklahoma. They operated two large markets in Ponca City. After his initial visit to Aspen in 1935, Hatfield did not return until 1956, when he brought his own family. They came again in the summer of 1957 and decided to move here following that visit. He intends to open for business in approximately two weeks. At present, he and a four-man crew are engaged in redecorating the store and installing fixtures and refrigeration equipment. The building is leased from Everette Metcalf, Irving, Texas.” The photograph above shows the Mesa Store, circa 1960.

WEAR IT: TASC BAMBOO-BASED SHIRTS GET IT

IN A MARKET with a million T-shirts, a New Orleans brand offers something different. Tasc Performance Apparel makes shirts and base layers with a unique process and in a unique place. Using bamboo cellulose as a base material, the company blends organic cotton, polyester, merino wool and other fibers to make proprietary fabrics sold for fitness and the outdoors. The result is a different kind of apparel. Tasc’s performance shirts, including the Hybrid Fitted T that I reviewed this fall, are soft, stretchy, comfortable and good-looking. The company touts the Hybrid Fitted ($36) as having UPF 50+ sun protection. It is a part of the brand’s MOSOtech line, which use fabric made of organic cotton, bamboo, and 5 percent Lycra. The shirt is wearable during high-output activities. I biked, ran and climbed in the Hybrid Fitted. I wore it for six days straight, too, for a stink test. Tasc fabric feels different from any other performance top in my closet. It’s a bit thicker and softer than most merino-wool pieces I use for activities. Compared with

synthetic shirts made of polyester, the Tasc fabric has a natural feel against the skin. When wet from sweat, the fibers have a semi-hydrophobic quality and don’t gain much weight. The shirt does not stick to your skin. Despite the sweat it did not stink — I simply hung the shirt up each night to air out, and its natural antimicrobial facets seemed to do their trick. Less laundry is required at home. For travel, this is a shirt set for wearing multiple days in a row. The Hybrid Fitted is one product among a few dozen Tasc

sells. The company has casual clothes, yoga-wear and a product line with merino wool as a primary component, all blended with bamboo. The material comes from India. Tasc’s founders have been in the textile business for 60 years, and over that time have developed a partnership with a family-owned mill.
The company sources most of its material from this single Indian facility, controlling production and sustainability facets that it says are among the most stringent in the industry. This is important, as bamboo has been cited as a polluter due to a caustic process used to break down the fibers. Tasc touts a “closed-loop” system to keep chemicals contained during the manufacturing. The company cites its bamboo is certified organic and sourced from a forest certified by the watchdog Forest Stewardship Council. Give Tasc shirts a try if you’ve long used synthetics and are looking for a more natural top. Or, if you’re a merino-wool junkie hoping to save on apparel, a shirt like the bamboocotton Hybrid Fitted is a good alternative choice for workouts and everyday wear.

The final countdown is on: Get out and vote!
THE HOME STRETCH
IT’S TIME TO COMPLETE OUR CIVIC DUTY IT TOOK A LONG TIME for me to get there. I’ve been glued to most forms of media, from national to local, since this election season began (which I believe was about two years ago at this point). But, last week, after finishing a newsletter that was more than 6,000 words and linked over 50 articles, I reached my breaking point. I BARBARA PLATTS finally had election season fatigue. That night, I went home, attempted to watch the latest on CNN and had to physically stop myself from throwing the remote at the screen. I was at my breaking point, so I promptly put myself to bed. It was 8:30 on a Friday night. Even if you do not consider yourself political, these elections have been extremely difficult to ignore. I’m not simply talking about the presidential race, I’m talking about everything else. Coloradans have nine issues on the ballot this election, not
including the questions about retaining judges or the senate race. On a local level (extending the entire valley) we have races for mayor and town council candidates, district attorneys and county commissioners. Not to mention several tax extension questions and ballot issues that would implement new taxes. The list goes on and on. In an attempt to simplify all of the information, I made that detailed newsletter for work at Aspen Public Radio. It took me about two weeks to research everything, and find a way to make sense of it all, for myself, and those who would read it. I learned about property tax and what a real estate transfer tax means. I immersed myself in the ins and outs of open space and trails programs in the valley. And I spent an impossible amount of time learning about broadband rights. After taking a couple of days away from the news, I feel refreshed writing these words. I’ve done the research. Now, I’m ready to go in and complete my civic duty, and then wear the “I just voted” sticker around all
day and feel way too proud of myself for it. I share this story in my column not because I care to sway you one way or another on a certain issue. My main reason, besides that it’s the only thing I’ve been able to think about for weeks now, is to highlight how important it is that we are all informed, aware and educated on the issues on our ballot. The proposals, amendments and questions are often very hard to make sense of, but luckily there are many resources to help along the way. Go to colorado. gov to view the Colorado state ballot information booklet. This gives descriptions and pros and cons of all the statewide issues. Confused on which judges you should vote to retain? You’re not alone. The website www. coloradojudicialperformance. gov gives you descriptions of any judge you search for. Unsure of what all of our locals issues are about? Luckily, your media outlets from Aspen to Glenwood have been working hard to explain these decisions. Search for an issue online and you will
find everything from profiles on candidates to letters to the editor on certain tax issues. As of the day this issue goes to print, we will have five days to get our votes in. Some of you have probably already sent in your ballot (if you haven’t, make sure to drop it off this close to election day). Others have gone to the Aspen Jewish Community Center or the El Jebel Community Center to vote in person. If you have not done so yet and are wondering where to go, visit your county’s clerk and recorder website. In Pitkin, it’s www.pitkinvotes.org. In Eagle, it’s www.eaglecounty.us. And in Garfield, it’s www.garfieldcounty.com. Make sure to call the elections office in your county if you have questions. That’s all I’ve got for you this time. Good luck on your decisions and happy voting! If you would like to read the elections newsletter that Barbara and the rest of the Aspen Public Radio team worked tirelessly on, email her at bplatts.000@gmail.com and she will get you a copy.

WINEINK
WINE DOGS
VINO MOVES TO A GRAND CRU VINEYARD IN THE SKY FOR 482 CONSECUTIVE weeks, this column has closed with a notation stating that the author, that would be me, “lives in the soon-to-be designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife Linda and a black Lab named Vino.” Well, with sadness, that is no more. While Old Snowmass still awaits its designation as KELLY J. an appellation and, HAYES fortunately, my wife remains by my side, this past week our wine dog, Vino, moved along to what we hope is his eternity in a forever-fertile vineyard. Though he never set paw in the dirt of an actual vineyard during his time on this earth, he was a wine dog just the same. Many a night he sat near me as I tasted wines from around the world, and many a morn he dropped his large head on crossed paws and snoozed beneath the table where I pecked out those 482 stories on my computer keyboard. It is sad, of course, but that is just how it is with dogs. Like the changing seasons, their lives are fleeting. It got me to thinking about all the wineries I have visited and how, nearly always, there is a wine dog in residence. Wines, vines and dogs just go together like corks and bottles. So I sent out a missive and asked some folks who have wineries to send me photos of their dogs. And I got a bunch. In fact, a whole pack of wine dogs from all over the world came charging in via jpegs and pdfs. And for me, the images, but more importantly the sentiment behind the images, were as comforting as a glass of fortified Port. Which of course reminded me of my favorite wine dog story. One that I first learned of back in 2007, the first year of this column.
THREE LEGGED RED I was in Seattle staying at the W Hotel for a football game. As WineInk was in its infancy, just 44 columns in, anything that had to do with wine grabbed my attention. One morning, as I stood at the
10
A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY
F
front desk of the hotel, a man came in carrying a box of wine with a leashless three-legged border collie by his side. I had to ask… The man was Eric Dunham and he generously took the time to explain that he made wine in Walla Walla in eastern Washington. He was there to pour for a number of sommeliers and wine shop owners. The box had a photo of the aforementioned dog and a label that identified the wine as “Dunham Cellars Three Legged Red.” It seems during the summer of ’94 he was awakened in the wee hours by the sounds of a dogfight. Or more accurately, a dog mugging. A pit bull had attacked a Border collie pup and mauled him to within an inch of his life, even taking a leg from the dog’s starboard side. Eric scooped up the pup and rushed him to the Vet where he was saved from a certain death. He named the dog Port, because he had two good legs on his left side. Eric and Port became constant companions and best friends. But there was, as they say, the rest of the story. Eric made a decision to make an affordable red wine from, you guessed it, three grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon/ Merlot/Syrah) and name it after Port. “Three Legged Red,” with its’ picture of Port, became an iconic Washington wine. The current release received a 90-point rating from the Wine Enthusiast. Both Port and Eric are gone now but their collaboration lives on and Dunham Cellars celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015. They make exceptional single-vineyard and single-varietal wines but still produce the fabled “Three Legged Red.” And, appropriately, they also make a limited release Riesling under the moniker “Four Legged White,” named for the current wine dog, Maysy.
PUPPY LOVE Not all of the wine dogs who came through my limited bandwidth have gone on to become great brands. But for all of the winemakers who sent photos there is a bond, a connection with their wine dogs that is priceless. They

are up early during harvest, greet guests as they come to the tasting rooms, bark at the birds as they pick at the grapes and just lie on the cool floors of the wineries during the hot days in the growing season. But most importantly, from puppyhood to old age, they simply bring good energy. Like a great bottle of wine, a good dog may come into your life, provide exquisite pleasure and then, like that, be gone. Savor the memories. And please raise a toast to my wine dog, Vino. Santé. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife Linda. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE DUNHAM CELLARS 2013 CABERNET SAUVIGNON XIX This month the 19th release of this flagship wine from Dunham Cellars took a “Best of Show” (yes, I like the dog show phrase) at the Great Northwest Invitational, a tasting that is judged by many of the region’s top tasters. It is noted that this wine will cellar well and will drink great in 10 to 15 years, or about the time my next pup reaches his or her zenith.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS
EASY AS PIE
NEW TWISTS ON TRADITIONAL FAVORITES Cook the apples, lose the gap! Mastering a better apple pie ANY NUMBER OF TASKS may strike you as easy as pie, but anyone who’s ever actually made a pie can tell you that it actually requires some care if you want it to turn out well. Consider apple pie. Its ingredients are few and elemental: apples, of course, along with sugar, flavoring and pie crust. But choosing the right apples is a serious business. Likewise, you’ll want to do what you can to prevent the apples from shrinking in the pie shell as they cook, which simultaneously makes the bottom crust soggy and creates an unsightly gap between the filling and top crust. Let’s start with the apples. Some are tart and some are sweet. Happily, autumn is apple season, which means farmers markets (and, to a lesser extent, supermarkets) should be bursting with choices. Buy an assortment, taste each kind and take notes about their flavor, paying particular attention to their sugar level. An apple’s flavor intensifies as it is cooked. Unless you’re nuts about one particular variety, I’d advise you to pick a mix for your pie. The complexity of the flavors will make the pie that much more interesting. Some apples turn into mush when they’re cooked, while others hold their shape for days. If you’re not sure which way a given variety will go, here’s a test: Cut a wedge into cubes, combine it with a pinch of sugar and a tablespoon of water, then cook it, covered, over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until just tender. Most varieties will hold their shape, but McIntosh, Macoun, Cortland and Empire will fall apart and turn into applesauce. I recommend adding a few of the fall-apart varieties to your pie. Their sauciness will moisten and bind the rest of the apples in the filling. Now, how to prevent that gap? Simple. Gently pre-cook the apples, which drains them of liquid and shrinks their bulk. They’ll shrink

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY
F
no more once they’re added to the pie, which means there’ll be no gap between the filling and the top crust. But don’t toss out that liquid! If you boil it down as detailed below and add it back to the apples, you’ll amp up the apple essence. ___ DEEP-DISH APPLE PIE Start to finish: 3 hours Servings: 8 4 POUNDS firm apples, (a mix of sweet and tart) peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges 1 POUND applesauce apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inchthick wedges 1/2 CUP PLUS 1 TEASPOON granulated sugar, divided 1/4 CUP packed dark brown sugar 1/4 TEASPOON table salt 1 TO 2 TABLESPOONS lemon juice 1 TEASPOON lemon zest DOUBLE BATCH of pie dough, refrigerated 1 TABLESPOON heavy cream
In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, toss together all of the apples, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the brown sugar, salt, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the firm apples are just tender when poked with a knife, about 15 minutes. Transfer the apples to a large colander set over a bowl and let them drain for 15 minutes, shaking the colander every so often. After the apples have drained, add the juices from the bowl to the Dutch oven and simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup. In the bowl, combine the reduced juices with the apples. Taste for seasoning and add additional lemon juice if necessary. Cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, remove one disk of dough from the refrigerator and roll it out between two large sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. If the dough becomes soft and/or sticky, return it to the refrigerator and chill until firm. Remove the plastic wrap from

one side of the dough and flip it onto a 9-inch pie plate. Remove the second layer of wrap. Ease the dough down into the plate and press it into the bottom and sides gently without stretching it. Leave the dough that overhangs the plate in place; chill until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes. Roll the second disk of dough between two large sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Chill, leaving the dough between the plastic sheets, until firm, about 30 minutes. While the dough chills, adjust the oven rack to the lowest position, place an empty rimmed baking sheet on the rack, and heat the oven to 425 F. Remove the pie plate lined with the dough from the refrigerator and spoon the apple mixture into it. Remove the plastic from one side of the remaining dough and flip the dough onto the apples. Remove the second piece of plastic. Trim the excess dough hanging off the edge of the pie plate so it is flush with the edge. Pinch the top and bottom dough rounds firmly together and press them with the tines of a fork.
Cut four 2-inch slits in the top of the dough. Chill the filled pie for 10 minutes. Brush the surface with the heavy cream, and then sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Bake the pie on the heated baking sheet until the crust is dark golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool until ready to serve. ___ PIE DOUGH Start to finish: 20 minutes, plus chilling Makes two crusts 2 2⁄3 CUPS (11 1/2 ounces) allpurpose flour 1/2 TEASPOON table salt 18 TABLESPOONS (2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 4 TO 6 TABLESPOONS ice water

WHEN PLANNING FOR THANKSGIVING, DONT FORGET THE PECAN PIE Leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, and the smell of fall lingers in the air. Pumpkins are appearing on doorsteps and families are beginning to plan their Thanksgiving menus. Pecan pie should always be on the list. Pecan pie can be difficult to describe. It’s not a fruit pie or a cream pie, and it’s not a traditional custard. It falls into a loosely defined category most familiar to our Southern friends — the sugar pie. Sugar pies can be found in many styles and variations, but at its roots, a sugar pie is a single-crust pie with a baked filling of sugar, eggs and flavorings. The sugar used can be granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, honey or molasses, depending on what you want your standout flavors to be. Pecan pies are commonly made with corn syrup, which lends a neutral flavor that helps the nuttiness of the pecans shine through, but substituting maple syrup can give richness and complexity without altering the texture. Because the filling of sugar pies can be very soft, the pecans play an important textural role. These nuts can be added whole, chopped or a combination of both. They will soak up some of the filling, which will make them tender enough to cut with a fork, but with enough bite to contrast the soft, creamy filling. And what are rich pecans and a sweet filling without a flaky, buttery pie crust? Our all-butter crust is partially baked before
lumps. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of ice water evenly over the mixture and gently stir with a fork until incorporated. Gently squeeze a small handful: it should hold together without crumbling apart. If it doesn’t, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring two or three times after each addition until it comes together. (If you overwork the mixture or add too much water, the pastry will be tough.) Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and divide into several portions. With the heel of your hand, smear each portion once in a forward motion on the work surface to help distribute the fat. Gather the smeared dough together and form it, rotating it on the work surface, into 2 disks. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
filling, which helps keep it crisp despite the wet interior. Experiment with decorative borders and crimping to make your pie stand out on a crowded table. Pecan pies are simple to prepare (easy as pie!), but it can be tough to determine when your pie is done. Sugar pie fillings won’t always look perfectly firm when they are still hot in the oven. You will notice that the edges of the filling, just along the crust, will be a little bit puffy — like a soufflé — even when the interior still appears slightly wet and jiggly. This is a good indicator that your pie is ready. – the Culinary Institute of America PECAN PIE Makes one single-crusted 9-inch pie Active time: 40 minutes. Inactive time: 1 1/2 hours to overnight. 1 recipe single-crust pie dough 1 1/2 cups toasted pecan halves 1/2 cup tightly packed light brown sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3/4 cup light corn syrup 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt Preheat the oven to 400 F. Roll out the pie dough and use it to line a 9-inch pie. Partially
blind bake the crust. Let cool to room temperature in the pan on a rack before filling. Keep the oven temperature at 400 F. Spread the nuts in an even layer over the bottom of the partially baked pie shell. Stir the brown sugar and flour together in a mixing bowl until well blended. Add the corn syrup, eggs, butter, vanilla extract and salt and blend well. Pour the mixture over the nuts, disturbing the nuts as little as possible. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake until the center is softly set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the pie rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. All Butter Pie Crust An all-purpose buttery and flaky pie pastry made with all butter. The key to the flakiness is threefold — the size of the butter pieces; the proper mixing of the dough, which prevents the fat from completely blending into the flour; and keeping the butter cold throughout mixing. Makes two 11-inch rounds. 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into 3/4-inch cubes 1/2 cup water, ice cold, more as needed To make by hand combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl and scatter the butter pieces over the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry blender, or, rubbing the mixture between your fingers, work quickly to cut or rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it is in pieces the size of small hazelnuts. Sprinkle half the ice-cold water over the butter mixture. Using your hands or a rubber spatula, lightly toss the dry mixture until the dough just begins to hold together. Continue to add water in small amounts until it becomes a rough but pliable dough. The dough should just hold together when pressed to the side of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide into two portions. Shape the dough into 5- to 6-inch diameter flat, round disks and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes to two hours or preferably overnight.

VOYAGES
DESTINATION | SEDONA
NEAR SEDONA’S FAMED RED ROCKS, A WINE TRAIL IN ARIZONA THE FAMED RED ROCKS of Sedona draw visitors from around the world. But less than half an hour away from Sedona’s tourist crowds is an attraction that might surprise outof-towners: Arizona’s Verde Valley Wine Trail, complete with vineyards tucked into volcanic rock and limestone, with grapevines growing within view of the tasting rooms. Wine in a state known for desert and heat? Yes, thanks to elevations above 3,000 feet and a milder climate than in places like Phoenix, 100 miles away. Communities on the wine trail like Cottonwood and Cornville mainly attract staycationers, including Phoenix residents looking to escape to the semi-wilderness for a day or two, but the wines made here are pulling Sedona tourists south through central Arizona’s green landscapes. From State Route 89A, Page Springs Road takes you to several stops along the trail in Cornville. My copilot and I started with a tasting of 2015 sauvignon blanc, 2015 sangiovese and 2014 tempranillo at Javelina Leap Vineyard and Winery, where the owners’ son Lucas Reed poured and described his family’s wine.

The Javelina Leap wines are made mostly from one type of grape at a time, but at our next stop, Page Springs Cellars, varietals share shelf space with blends. The road here cuts a curvy route near House Mountain, a volcano that erupted millions of years ago leaving alkaline subsoils, which Page Springs Cellars says are comparable to France’s Southern Rhone wine region. A small driveway connected to a dusty gravel path leads to rows of Page Springs’ grapevines, and solar panels shade vehicles from the sun while grenache grapes grow nearby. Travelers sip years of local work here while sampling a menu that lists pizzas, salads and cheeses. Winemaker Eric Glomski, who owns Page Springs with his family, greeted us at the outside patio before tour guide Dina Ribaudo took the group through the winemaking process, starting with the vineyard, passing by a deck that overlooks Oak Creek and ending at the bottling station. After offering samples of a malvasia bianca blend, Arizona viognier and a Tuscan-style blend, she dipped our glasses into a spring for a water

break. Ribaudo said the spring is named for settler James Page and flows at a constant 68 degrees from the Coconino Plateau, about 50 miles north. Our group sipped a Rhone blend called the 2014 Ecips — spice spelled backward — while walking into a room stacked with barrels. After pulling a stopper from one red-stained cask, Ribaudo siphoned out our final sample of the tour, the 2014 Bordowie (made mostly from Bordeaux wines). By mid-afternoon, the small tasting room parking lots along Page Springs Road were slightly fuller, with an occasional tour group limo among the cars. The Page Springs Cellars owners also are behind Arizona Stronghold Vineyards, which has a tasting room about 12 miles away in Old Town Cottonwood. You’ll pass several tasting rooms, restaurants and shops in the area before Main Street becomes Broadway and climbs toward the town of Clarkdale. There, in what used to be a mining company town, the Four Eight Wineworks tasting room is housed in a former bank
where a notorious 1928 robbery and shooting took place. This is Arizona’s first winemakers cooperative, a project that stems from Tool singer Maynard Keenan. He’s also behind Caduceus Cellars, which has a tasting room about 5 miles from Clarkdale in Jerome. The town of Jerome, population over 400, is built into a hillside about 5,000 feet above sea level, marked by a large white J. The former copper mining site is dotted with historic properties. It has a ghost-town reputation and creative community of artists. Surrounded by restaurants, shops and galleries, a coppery chainlink curtain leads to the Caduceus Cellars tasting room. Danielle Vorves, whose business card bears the title of wine slinger, poured us separate flights of wines with unique names, like The Diddler, a blend of albarino, malvasia and viognier under the Caduceus Cellars Merkin Vineyards label. While Keenan’s playlist layered The XX beneath the voices of several groups of customers, Vorves noted that Caduceus Cellars is close to producing all its wine using only Arizona-grown grapes. Altogether the Verde Valley Wine Trail includes about seven wineries and eight tasting rooms. We visited three in half a day and ended our visit with a view at Jerome State Historic Park that stretched for miles, offering a vista of canyons and peaks in the Arizona wilderness.

WHY ASPEN? TALES FROM THE FRESHMEN CLASS, PAST AND PRESENT
BY ETTA MEYER
FOR THE PAST NINE MONTHS, every time I tell a new person that I just moved to Aspen from New York City they respond, without fail, with, “Wow. That’s a big change,” followed immediately by an incredulous, “Why?” On the surface, a banal, small-talk question, yet the more times I am asked, the more curious it makes me why anyone chooses Aspen as the specific mountain hamlet for them. Not just why they came, but why they stayed, invested, worked, raised families and gathered here, season after season, generation after generation. Someone once told me the Ute people had a prophecy about this valley, once you enter it you are destined to return. (Or was that the Skico?) Either way it’s a special place we live in, bursting with natural splendor and the fruits of human endeavor in many forms. But there are lots of great American towns and a lot of beautiful mountains in the world. This November marks the arrival of a new ski season and with it, a new freshman class about to be baptized into the Aspen way. As a way to welcome all newcomers, here are a few tales of freshmen past and present, including my own humble yarn.

ETTA MEYER YEAR ARRIVED: JAN. 20, 2016 AGE UPON ARRIVAL: 31 WHY ASPEN? In 1950 my grandparents (pictured above) shocked their family by ditching New York for a cattle ranch in Montana. They loved Aspen and split their time by spending every winter here until 2003. I have been in New York since college, grinding away, most recently as a photo editor at a glossy magazine. Around my 30th birthday I started to hear that old siren call, “Go West,” as my grandparents and generations of Americans have heard before. I just had to decide where specifically to go. The West Coast wasn’t right, where my parents live in Wyoming was too remote. Boulder sounded interesting, but perhaps too crunchy? Silicon Valley was courting outposts in Bozeman, but no. I narrowed the search down to “Menver” and Aspen, booked an exploratory trip over the Fourth of July, and by the end of the weekend it was game over, victory Aspen. I planned to leave New York at the end of the year. At a holiday party the night before I left I got a lead on a temporary sublet, a cheap and dirty crash-pad on Hyman. It had clearly
only been inhabited by the opposite sex for who knows how long. I slept the rest of the winter on a camp cot with a cardboard box for a nightstand. It was heaven. In keeping with everyone I’ve interviewed for this feature, I’ve fallen in love with the people, the sky, the mountains, the smell of the air, the pace of life that includes spending time outside. (Please keep in mind I’ve spent the past 11 years more or less inside.) This summer I enlisted my brother to give up New York as well and be my roommate. We have set up Meyer & Meyer HQ in an apartment on Main Street and are tirelessly developing our businesses and transitioning to the “gig economy.” As Pam Cunningham so eloquently put it when recounting her own freshman story, “It’s meant to be — if you’re meant to be here.” Time will tell, but I sure hope I’ve found my forever home.
KING WOODWARD YEAR ARRIVED: NOV. 15, 1956, to be exact “That was the start date for my job as a desk clerk at the Hotel Jerome. When I arrived, they told me the man who had hired me no longer worked there. Thankfully, the position was still available and I was still hired.” AGE ON ARRIVAL: 25 WHY ASPEN? “Over the ’55-56 holidays I had come out here with friends to ski for 10 days. I grew up skiing in the East. I had graduated from Middlebury, was discharged from the service, had worked in a hotel before, so when the opportunity at the Hotel Jerome came up I took it.” WHAT MADE YOU STAY? “This place fascinated me. And I loved to ski.” WHERE DID YOU FIRST LIVE? “In a rented apartment with a ski instructor, the rent wasn’t much.” SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH JOB? “I worked at the Crystal Palace then at the Copper Kettle in the summer of ’58 at the Meadows. Eventually I worked for the Aspen Institute for 30 years.” WHAT WAS THE SOCIAL SCENE LIKE? “You got to know everyone in town. Repeat visitors and people who had homes here. You worked with them, you skied with them. Money didn’t matter, you got to know people for who they were.” WHO DID YOU MEET? Woodward met his future wife back East. Over the phone he tried to convince her to move to Aspen by helping her get a job in town. To which she replied, “I already have a job,” (at the Belgian Embassy in Washington, D.C.). So he asked her if she would marry him. She was more responsive to that proposal. Soon after their engagement over the telephone she was here by his side. --------
DIRK BRAUN YEAR ARRIVED: 2011 AGE UPON ARRIVAL: 25 WHY ASPEN? “Aspen is the only small town anywhere I would consider.” If not
Aspen, it would have been LA or New York for Braun, who considers himself more of a city person. After snowboarding here on weekends while attending CU, Braun saw the “interesting dynamic that Aspen has. There is a plethora of people that come here. It has a different feel and vibe than other mountain towns that are just targeted at skiing.” FIRST HOME BASE? A rented cabin in Lenado, “quite a contrast from being downtown.” FIRST JOB? Skateboard coach. SECOND JOB? “Once I got a feel for the area, I pursued my interests and started Red Mnt Productions.” WHAT WAS THE SOCIAL SCENE LIKE? “Well diversified age-wise. Plenty of people in their 20s and 30s—a good range. Which has made it interesting and worth living here. There are tons of activities: concerts, skiing, snowboarding, events, all geared toward younger people. As well as events where there are people from there 20s to their 70s—which gives the town more of a city atmosphere.” WHY STAY? “The more time I’ve spent the greater it’s gotten. I’ve grown my business and I like the projects I get here. It seems like a good home base. There is so much that’s happening in Aspen that makes it interesting at least in summer and winter. And it’s a lot happening at once. That’s what’s kept me here.” WORD TO THE WISE: “Travel during the off season.” Braun travels a few months out of the year to stave off any small town feel that might set in. -----------
JANE KESSLER YEAR ARRIVED: APRIL 1, 1957 AGE UPON ARRIVAL: 35 WHERE DID YOU MOVE FROM? “Yosemite National Park. I worked for a ski area there and had heard people talking about Aspen.” Kessler decided to check it out for a summer after which she planned to continue on to the Caribbean, but she “got stuck” here.
WHY STAY? She was married before her first ski season had begun. TO WHOM? A German ski instructor walked into the Hotel Jerome where Kessler was working. He knew her colleague King Woodward, who was standing right next to her at the front desk. “He pointed at me and asked King, ‘WHO IS THAT WOMAN?’ I thought, oh — how rude! A few weeks later he asked me to dinner. I decided what’s the harm? I said yes and that was it.” WHERE DID YOU FIRST LIVE? “The Jerome provided housing, the Aspen Block… it was a little bit of heaven.” Is that sarcasm I detect? “Yes.” After marrying Sepp Kessler she moved into a one-room log cabin he built on land purchased from Walter Paepke for $500. SECOND JOB? “I was the hat check girl at the Red Onion. I just worked for tips but it was all I needed and I could ski during the day.” WHAT WAS THE SOCIAL SCENE LIKE? People mixed more. -------------
BLAND NESBIT
YEAR ARRIVED: NOVEMBER 1971 AGE UPON ARRIVAL: 24 WHY ASPEN? After grad school in Washington D.C., Nesbit either wanted to go to London or to Colorado. She called an old school friend who lived in Colorado in the winters and asked for her help. Her friend was eager to oblige and called back two days later to say she had found her a place to live. The problem was, Nesbit had forgotten to ask which town in Colorado her friend lived in. Now that she was committed to moving, she was quite embarrassed to have to ask. The answer was Aspen, which was a great relief — she knew enough to know she didn’t want to go to Vail. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Upon driving down Main Street for the first time in her ’69 Mustang, Nesbit felt she “had been here before. I just loved it from the first moment and knew I wanted to stay.” WHAT CAME FIRST: THE HOUSING OR THE JOB? Housing — two roommates and two dogmates. The job was harder to find. “We walked around town and asked who was hiring. It was scary, but that’s what we did, and eventually it worked.” FIRST, SECOND, THIRD JOB? “Every kind of job you can imagine.” In the late ’70s Nesbit developed a sign painting business that evolved into a successful graphics business. She also worked in production at this paper for eight years. But her No. 1 passion is helping dogs in the valley at the Aspen Animal Shelter.

WHY STAY? “Because of the people and because I love the outdoor life. It’s a small community and it’s a supportive community. I’m not sure people see that buried under all the glitz. The people that live here take care of each other. It’s pretty amazing.” WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE TO COME HERE AS A YOUNG PERSON NOW? “It was so much smaller then. You pretty much ended up knowing everyone. It’s much harder for people to make a living here now. I think it would be hard for me to come here and rent and not be able to have a dog. I also think people behave better now than we did. We were a little wild.” -----------
SETH SACHON
young woman answered and he asked if the house had a spare room available to rent. It did—and in that moment his luck changed. The roommates from the year he spent in the little red house in Snowmass remain good friends today. FIRST, SECOND, THIRD JOB? He took over the contract for the Aspen Animal Shelter in 1992 and has been there ever since. It’s his passion and life’s work. WHY STAY? “This whole valley is all about community. There’s so much community here it’s in sane. We’re all so interconnected. It’s like an extension of college.” IF YOU WERE 22 IN 2016, WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN? “I can’t imagine a different life. Because of the Animal Shelter I became a business owner at a very young age. My life felt purposeful and fulfilling.” He found a way to live his dream. -----------
PAM CUNNINGHAM YEAR ARRIVED: 1967 AGE UPON ARRIVAL: 24 WHY ASPEN? After attending boarding school back East, Cunningham was not eager to leave Colorado upon graduating from CU. “I wanted to be in the mountains and I wanted to ski. I presumed I would be here one or two years.’”
YEAR ARRIVED: 1992 AGE UPON ARRIVAL: 22 WHY ASPEN? Grew up skiing in Snowmass on family vacations and became utterly fascinated by the dog mushing at Krabloonik. When he was deciding whether or not to go to graduate school his parents told him to “follow his dreams.” So he drove to Snowmass from Arizona to become a dog musher at Krabloonik. WHAT CAME FIRST: THE HOUSING OR THE JOB? The job. Sachon had no idea how hard it would be to find dog-friendly housing so he and his four-legged friend, Jackson, spent the better part of a month in his truck in a parking lot in Snowmass. “It was grueling and I was shy; it was lonely month.” He decided to head to graduate school after all. On his way out of town he passed a small house with dogs and mountain bikes in the yard. Since he had nothing to lose, he knocked on the door. A beautiful

WHY STAY? “It was just like being in college and I had a very good time in college,” Cunningham recounts with a wry laugh. “It was too great a lifestyle to think about going home.” And then, about a year in, she landed a good job at the Aspen Alps where she worked until her retirement in 2008. FIRST JOB? Gretl’s restaurant, the first winter it opened. (Present day: Bonnie’s.) FIRST HOME BASE? “I wish I could tell you. I remember one winter I lived in the Prince Albert.” (Present day: Ralph Lauren.) “My first summer I was the night watchman at Gretl’s; I lived next to the restaurant in an airstream trailer. I decided I didn’t want to wreck my car driving up the mountain every night, so I got a Yamaha dirk bike to get up and down.”
No v e m b e r 3 - No v e m b e r 9 , 20 16
SOCIAL SCENE? “No real stratification as you may see today. The social scene was based on your favorite watering hole. Mine happened to be the Red Onion. Dinner at friend’s houses. The generations were sort of mixed. It didn’t matter who you were as long as you were enjoying skiing and enjoying what you were doing.” IF YOU WERE 24 IN 2016, WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN? “It was such a different time back then. I don’t think it can done be with any ease at all now, although I don’t know enough about technology to know how you can work from afar.” “I lived in the best of times. We would hitchhike. We would get a bee in our bonnet and drive up to Alaska… It was so loose.” -----------
TIGEY EADS YEAR ARRIVED: 1992 AGE UPON ARRIVAL: 19 WHY ASPEN? After visiting a friend at Colorado Mountain College in the summer of ’92, Eads decided to ditch art school and move out West. “In hindsight, best decision I ever made.” FIRST HOME BASE? Hunter Long House FIRST, SECOND JOB? Masonry work on the River Park homes, then Café Suzanne at Snowmass. SOCIAL SCENE? “It was pretty crazy. That first year we were out pretty much every night, and worked or snowboarded every day. My mom kept asking, ‘don’t you get sick of snowboarding?’” The answer was no! LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: “Even just the first night. I hadn’t seen the mountains yet and got out of car in Glenwood Canyon and looked up at the stars. Then I saw Mt. Sopris. They say there is some curse about Sopris—once you see it you will always come back to it, or something like that…” IF YOU WERE 19 IN 2016, WOULD YOU THINK TO COME TO ASPEN? “Probably, but I don’t see it happening the way it did for me. There used to be five of us living in a two-bedroom, tear-down house. It was tight. Not a lot of houses that you can rent like that anymore.” Eads lives in Basalt with his wife and three daughters, and still marvels at sunrise and sunset over Mt. Sopris.
MELISSA WISENBAKER
YEAR ARRIVED: JUNE 2011 AGE UPON ARRIVAL: 22 WHY ASPEN? “After living in Boulder and having to drive I-70 to the mountains, which was terrible, I moved to Aspen for the easy access to the mountains and outdoor lifestyle.” FIRST HOME BASE? “I found a random listing on Craigslist to share an apartment in Snowmass with two other girls. It worked out really well! The girls don’t live here anymore but we’re still great friends.” WHY STAY? “Belly Up. Live music is one of my favorite things. Boulder and Denver have such great music scenes. I was a little nervous to move to a small town, but once I went to Belly Up and experienced the intimate venue, and saw many of my favorite artists there, I knew I could stay forever.” AND WILL YOU, STAY FOREVER? “My friends from home wonder how I can live in a such a small town but Aspen functions more like a city than a resort. I love that it’s not a resort town. It’s an international destination so you’re meeting people from all over yet who share similar interests.” Sounds like it. ----------
AMY ROLDAN YEAR ARRIVED: JUNE 2016 AGE UPON ARRIVAL: 27 WHY ASPEN? Roldan had been living in Glenwood since she graduated from CU in 2012, working in a law office. In October of 2015 she got a job in destination
marketing for the Aspen Chamber of Commerce. WHAT CAME FIRST: THE HOUSING OR THE JOB? The job! Roldan commuted from Glenwood for nine months until her lease was up. She then spent fifteen days surfing couches, which felt, “slightly ridiculous as a young professional,” until she found a room to rent from a friendof-a-friend in an affordable housing unit. “I love it, it’s great. I have two roommates. One has her own business as a marketing consultant, the other one is a bartender at the Aspen Brewery.” WANT TO STAY? “I do want to be here long term.” But, Roldan says she is always open to opportunities, and concedes, “it is hard to own a home here, hard to put down roots.” She notes that half of her friends from college already own homes. “To find a home here, you would have to win the lottery.” --------------
WHAT WAS THE SOCIAL SCENE LIKE? “It can definitely be crazy! My first winter was a big blur. I have enjoyed meeting a big mix of people from different backgrounds, from all over the world, with different types of jobs. The more I found my core group the more everyone wanted to get out and do things, instead of just going out at night.”
FIRST JOB? Aspen Sports
LIKE HIKING AND SKIING? “Definitely — and I’ve learned how to rock climb, fly fish, raft… Friends in the outdoor industry are great friends to have to learn new things.” If you could live in a bygone era of Aspen, which would it be? “Twenty or 30 years ago when it was a pure ski town. The true locals from that era seem to really love it for what it is… the outdoors, the mountains… instead of what it has become… wealth driven.”
WILL YOU STAY? “Long term? Maybe not my whole life, but as long as it goes well. There is no other place I would rather be.”
DO YOU WANT TO STAY? “I love it here. I definitely want to stay for a while. I moved here to be with my favorite people that I know in the world, and the people I’ve met since arriving will be lifelong friends.”
SECOND JOB? Front desk at the Limelight Hotel. FIRST IMPRESSIONS? Learning how to snowboard last winter was “pretty life-changing. It was a big deal. I loved it.”
IF YOU COULD LIVE IN A BYGONE ERA OF ASPEN, WHEN WOULD IT BE? “Right now! Can I say that? Right now is pretty great.” At this point her roommate, Joe Holstein, an Aspen vet of seven years chimes in, “I know the partying was crazy back in the ’70s and ’80s, but Aspen keeps evolving. Every year there is more art, fashion, music, places to eat and higher levels of health. Now is the best time to live here.”
IN THE END ...
If there is one thing that has always defined Aspen, it’s a continuity, a shared experience passed down through generations. In other words, it’s a community, an elusive thing in America after five decades of increased transience for jobs. Community is something money can’t buy, only time and human input can create it. As more and more young people seek out community either in urban neighborhoods, re-designed suburbs or small mountain towns like this one, rest assured, we will do our best to keep passing the Aspen torch.

HANNAH SCHANFARBER YEAR ARRIVED? AUGUST 2015 AGE UPON ARRIVAL? 23 WHY ASPEN? “I moved to Denver after college, tried city life, didn’t really take to it. I’m from a small town and have always lived in small towns. I had a couple friends from high school and college that were already here in Aspen. They definitely helped get me set up.” WHAT CAME FIRST? THE JOB OR THE HOUSING? “I lived in a friend’s spare room for the first two months at T Lazy 7.” FIRST JOB? Free People and Ajax Tavern — still there!
XXX
WHY ASPEN? “A friend brought me out here. He helped me get set up with housing and a job. Couldn’t have done it without him, you definitely need some knowledge before getting here. “Aspen has name recognition. It’s known for being a young, fun place, and it’s so connected to other places... like New York and LA.” FIRST HOME BASE? Marolt Ranch. “We weren’t sure we had secured housing until the month before moving.” This year McCulloch got her deposit in by May to avoid the same stress — only to discover a new unpleasantness surrounding Aspen housing — turning potential roommates away. “I put an ad up on Facebook for a roommate and got at least forty responses right away. Even after posting I had filled the room, I got emails for weeks. I felt terrible turning people away.”

HAVING MISSED the past two Halloweens in Aspen, it was high time to be back to celebrate this year. Understandably, Saturday night was a test run with costume parties and Halloween happenings, but the official holiday took place on Monday, drawing the masses. To quote a local watering hole from Facebook, “Call us crazy, but at Ryno’s we don’t watch fireworks on July 2nd. We don’t exchange gifts on December 27th. And we don’t dress up in scary and sexy costumes on October 29th. Come see
us Monday, October 31st (Halloween) for Scary-Oke, a costume contest, and some great drink specials. Your boss will understand on Tuesday.” It seems all were in agreement, judging by the number of dressed up revelers from Ryno’s to Hooch to Belly Up to the ‘Bou, and before that the North 40, all shown in the photos below.

‘THAT UNFORTUNATE, LOW-RENT FIGHT SCENE AT THE RITZ’ THE NIGHT VINNY PAZIENZA BROUGHT BOXING TO ASPEN
TWO YEARS AFTER BREAKING his neck in a car accident, boxer Vinny Pazienza brought his comeback to Aspen. The flamboyant Rhode Island fighter’s death-defying return to the ring is now the subject of a film, “Bleed For This,” starring Miles Teller as Pazienza (in theaters, Friday Nov. 4). Pazienza’s bout in Aspen on Dec. 28, 1993 against Canadian Dan Sherry is a wild piece of Aspen sports history, which Hunter S. Thompson dubbed “that unfortunate, low-rent Fight Scene at the Ritz.” The card at the Ritz-Carlton (the hotel that is now the St. Regis) featured the first professional boxing matches held here since 1900. Boxing hasn’t returned since. The fight came as Pazienza’s status as a determined and blood-spattered American folk hero was growing and his unbelievable comeback story was in full swing (People magazine ran a feature on him the week of the Aspen bout). The surreal scene surrounding the “Pazmanian Devil” and the oddity of boxing in Aspen were the subject of extensive coverage over the course of a month in The Aspen Times. Pazienza and the rest of the fighters trained for a week in the basement of the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs (with Pazienza’s girlfriend, Penthouse pet Leigh Anderson, looking on). But apparently Pazienza didn’t adjust to the altitude. He told Times sportswriter Dale Strode that he’d caught the “Aspen crud” and was extremely ill all week. The day of the fight, he spent four hours at Aspen Valley Hospital hooked up to IVs. But he still knocked out Sherry in the 11th round and ended the Canadian’s career. “I’ve had insomnia, diarrhea and my hands are killing me from hitting that guy, but other than that I feel great,” the ever-quotable Pazienza told Strode after the fight. This 15-round contest for the IBO super middleweight championship belt — refereed by a young Steve Smoger, who went on to a memorable career and last year was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame —

was a fundraiser for the new Aspen Youth Center, with tickets priced from $1,000 to $2,000. When few sold, the Ritz offered $500 seats to Aspen residents. Less than 50 paying customers showed up to the ballroom for the black-tie affair, buffet and six-fight card, which included Ritz bellhop and aspiring screenwriter Mark Gordon on the undercard in his professional debut. Gordon, the son of former pro boxer and longtime Aspenite Ted Gordon, defeated a New Mexico fighter named Tony Alcon who wore a prosthetic leg because he “had part of his lower left leg amputated in 1980 after an unsuccessful battle with an infection,” according to the Times’ coverage. Gordon sparred with Pazienza during fight week. “Sparring with Vinny really helped; it helped a whole lot,” he told the Times while sipping a Heineken after besting Alcon by unanimous decision. “What an honor… Having Vinny on my side for this fight.”
The Times assigned Hunter Thompson to cover the bout for his hometown paper. The legendary gonzo journalist, of course, did some of his best writing about boxing and about Muhammad Ali and also traveled to Zaire for the iconic “Rumble in the Jungle” between Ali and George Foreman. Like the fight in Zaire, though, Thompson didn’t make it inside to see the Pazienza scrap in Aspen. But that didn’t stop him from writing about it. His column, titled “Notes on a fight scene not covered,” ran in the New Year’s Day edition of the Times alongside Strode’s fight recaps, a photo essay by Roy Willey and an atmospheric prose poem about the in-ring action. Thompson described the smarmy atmosphere around the Aspen fight as only he could. “It was like a Prison Movie,” he quoted one spectator saying. “There were very few women, except floozies and shills. I was fondled and mauled in public, but it was not horrible. I hate boxing, but the public were very nice.”
The fight night was promoted by the colorful Don Elbaum, who was Don King’s mentor and who would later spend several months in prison on a corruption conviction, and by local developer Andrew Corwin. Thompson wrote that he received a last minute call to avoid the sleazy scene. “Close friends warned me, just in time, to stay away from That Thing at all costs — lest I make a dunce-like fool of myself and get photographed in the company of known mobsters,” he wrote. “My picture would have been all over the tabloids, drinking cheap whiskey and embracing that guy with the broken neck.” Another famous Aspenite, John Denver, incidentally, did not heed any such warning. He did attend the fight and did indeed submit to photos with Pazienza and his associates. “One professional person who was there said all the ringside seats were taken up by Ritz hotel employees who zealously enforced a No Smoking rule and called the police on anybody who had more than two (2) drinks,”

Thompson wrote. “Thank god I was warned away, and please convey my condolences to Dale and any other staff members who were sent into that degraded scene.” The promoters hadn’t brought along anybody to ring the bell during the fights, which sent rugby players from the Gentleman of Aspen (who worked security for the night) scrambling for a Ritz employee to do the job at the last minute. Despite the apparent failure of the bungled promotion, Pazienza’s win in Aspen was pivotal for the fighter. It helped set up his super-fight — and what would become the signature win of his comeback — with the great Roberto Duran six months later (Duran’s life, coincidentally, was also the subject of a feature film, “Hands of Stone,” earlier this year). All things considered, getting altitude sickness and getting the shits in Aspen was no big deal for Pazienza, Strode noted as he predicted a future feature film on the fighter: “Diahrrea. Big D. Not good for a boxer. But no problem for Pazienza, who has made a career — and probably a Hollywood movie — out of overcoming tremendous odds.” atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW
‘NINETY-NINE STORIES OF GOD’ FEW WRITERS can do more with a sentence or two than the short story master Joy Williams. Her new book of micro-fictions, “Ninety-nine Stories of God,” offers readers short shorts that range from pithy to playful to profound. There are narratives boiled down to their elegant basics, there are jokes and koans, there are tossed-off deep thoughts in the arch Jack Handy tradition. The collection’s mix of wry humor, brutal unhappy endings and spiritual musings makes for an odd book but an immensely satisfying read. The stories range from a single sentence to a few pages. Most have an under-title at the end, printed in capital letters. Some of Williams’ stories here invite us to create whole narratives of our own with a few ingeniously chosen words. For instance, one tagged “MUSEUM” reads, in full: “We were

not interested the way we though we would be interested.” Each story is simply numbered from 1 to 99. They’re not explicitly categorized otherwise, but they often do play off of one another in sort of thematic movements — there are many stories about influential writers and artists and thinkers through the centuries, there’s a run of stories about Native Americans and several in a row about church politics and a series about pets (animals steal the show often, as is frequently the case in Williams’ work). God him or herself makes several appearances, in some of the cheekier stories. One begins: “The Lord was in line at the pharmacy counter waiting to get His shingles shot” and goes on to describe the impatient woman in line behind God complaining he’s taking too long. In another, The Lord adopts a tortoise in Tucson.
I found myself reading many of these stories over and over again — sometimes digging into new depths and double meanings, other times finding nothing more than a clever punchline, occasionally getting emotionally gutted (as in the story about a car wash for a child who has been shot and killed accidentally). Over the course of these 99 stories, you’ll meet a rabbit named “Actually,” O.J. Simpson or the Unabomber, and an elderly hunter shooting moose from a recliner. Which is to say: there’s a surprise with every turn of the page. atravers@aspentimes.com
