THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with ANDREW TRAVERS
POPULAR MUSIC THE 1990s ALTERNATIVE ROCK hit-makers Toad the
Wet Sprocket are back on the road, with new material in tow. The band will play the Wheeler Opera House on Sunday, Nov. 23. Best known for the inescapable hits “Walk on the Ocean” and “All I Want,” Toad the Wet Sprocket was behind two of the ’90s most listened-to records: 1991’s “fear” and 1994’s “Dulcinea.” They’re now riding a resurgent wave of both creative energy and fan support. Last year, the band released their first new album since the ’90s, “New Constellation.” “We’re excited to be play the songs off the new album — I think that’s brought some new life into it,” the band’s frontman Glen Phillips said before the fall tour kicked off. “But we also have all the songs that we know people love. So there you have a show.” They had broken up in 1998, after the album “Coil,” and mostly went their separate ways — with Phillips pursuing a solo career — playing only occasional reunion gigs. They got back together five years ago, started recording some new material, then funded the new record through a Kickstarter campaign. The campaign, with a goal of $50,000, raised in excess of $260,000 from more than 6,300 backers, dispelling any doubt about the demand for new Toad the Wet Sprocket. Tickets for Sunday’s show are $40, and available at the Wheeler box office and at www.aspenshowtix.com. The performance is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. Read more about the band, the reunion and the new record in the Nov. 21 Weekend section of The Aspen Times.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with JOHN COLSON
Stressed in Carbondale? No big whoop FILE THIS UNDER “NOT really news,” but interesting nonetheless”: Carbondale has been identified in a recent study as the 10th most stressed-out city in Colorado, by a “content manager” at a website that exists to provide comparative information about credit cards to consumers interested in signing up with one credit-card company or another. Note that I wrote “stressed-out” rather than the term used in the study, “stressful,” because there is a difference, and it is a difference that has eluded those who came up with this rather useless, silly little categorization. The “study” comes from the deep thinkers at CreditDonkey.com, which bills itself as not only a credit-card comparison site but also a purveyor of “financial education.” Not sure how those bona fides relate to the topic of stress and city living. It is interesting, though, to see how our town compares to what CreditDonkey’s Cassy Parker names as the No. 1 stressed-out town in Colorado, Sheridan, an enclave of 5,600 or so souls in Arapahoe County next door to Denver. Sheridan, I should note, was named for Civil War Gen. Phil Sheridan of the Union Army, and the town grew up under the influence of a former U.S. Army fort (Fort Logan) that now is a mental-health facility, whereas Carbondale apparently was named after a town in Pennsylvania by people who moved here from there in the late 1800s to be farmers and ranchers, according to Wikipedia. Could those paired factoids be somehow linked to the stress of living in either place? Don’t know, do you? According to the CreditDonkey website, Parker arrived at her conclusions based on data mining of statistics held by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, focusing on the odds of being a victim of violent crime, commute time to a job, average number of hours worked per week, the percentage of divorcées present in the community, and the percentage of income spent on housing. Admittedly, not exactly scientific, particularly the part about the number of divorcées in a community. Parker seemingly did not differentiate between divorcées who moved to town after their split-up, and divorces that actually occurred in the town in question. A pertinent matter, it seems to me, since the stress that leads to divorce might also lead one or the other party to get the hell out of Dodge as soon as the decree is final
and move to a more congenial location like, say, Carbondale. Is this how statistical data can be manipulated to say anything anyone wants? Another column penned on the subject of the CreditDonkey study, by the editor of a paper I once worked for, seemed a little more put out by the study’s findings than I am, referring to the site as “Credit Ass” at one point. Me, I prefer to look at it more positively. For example, if dissatisfied citizens in other regions read that Carbondale is the 10th most “stressful” community in the state, they might want to think twice, or even three times before moving here. Which is OK by me, as I already am feeling a little cramped by the town’s burgeoning population. This would act in welcome counterpoint to previous mentions in various media of Carbondale as one of the choicest places to live in the United States. Then again, it is possible that people living in Sheridan, to take but one possible source of transmigration, might decide that being 10th on this nefarious list would be better than being No. 1, and they might begin to relocate in our direction en masse. That, to my way of thinking, would not be a good thing. Not that I have anything against anyone living in Sheridan, particularly since, as far as I know, I have never met a one of them and probably never will — unless they move here. For the record, I don’t feel particularly stressed-out by my life here, though that could change if suddenly we were invaded by some number of stressed-out denizens of Sheridan, who likely would bring their stress and its causes with them. The greatest stress-inducer we live with here, I think, is being located so close to the uber-wealthy of Aspen, and watching them live lives of fabulously peripatetic splendor while we struggle just to keep our noses above the water line. It’s a problem for some of us, though certainly not all. It’s also no one’s fault but our own, though, since we all chose to live here and have fun in the high country. And our proximity to Aspen is not, overall, a bad thing in my book. All in all, I’d say Cassy Parker did us no harm with her silly little study, so there’s no foul. But it’s not likely that she did us any good, either.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
Geologist Josiah Edward Spurr (center) dressed for fieldwork in a staged photo, 1896.
GEOLOGIST JOSIAH EDWARD SPURR Aspen’s surrounding mountains exhibit some of the most
complex geology in the country. Geologist Josiah Edward Spurr mapped the surface geology, examined it underground in Aspen’s mines. and explained it detail.
Congress created the U.S. Geological Survey in 1879 to continue an inventory of the nation’s resources, especially in the West. Under the direction of Charles Walcott, major mining districts were identified for close study. Aspen was awarded high priority. The Survey assigned geologist Josiah Edward Spurr, 24, to the task. He had already made a name for himself mapping the Mesabi deposits in Minnesota after he graduated from Harvard. Spurr began a surface study and mapped formations in Aspen in the summer of 1894. He returned in 1895 to finish his fieldwork, touring every operating mine in the region. Numerous faults in the area complicated the mapping process. Access to an underground view of the formations, from within the mines, enabled Spurr to create maps at a scale rarely seen in Survey publications. Geologists had examined Aspen from underground before, when mine owners had hired them as consultants. Also, mining engineering

and geology students from Columbia University had examined the area to broaden their book learning. But Spurr’s study stood as a distinctive scientific achievement. The Aspen Times interviewed Spurr
their roots, if indeed this is ever done.” He noted that ore quality increased with depth, as it did in Leadville, where the geology is similar. The Times pushed him for specifics and elicited recommendations of
THE TIMES PUSHED HIM FOR SPECIFICS AND ELICITED RECOMMENDATIONS OF WHERE TO PROSPECT FOR NEW SILVER VEINS. SPURR SAID ONLY, “IT IS SOMEWHAT BETTER TO PUT FAITH IN THE OLD MAXIM THAT THE ORE IS WHERE YOU FIND IT WHICH IS TRUE ON THE FACE OF IT BUT STILL LEAVES A MAN WITH THE PROBLEM OF HOW AND WHERE TO FIND IT.” when he completed his work in 1895. He delivered what the newspaper most wanted from him, a statement about the viability of Aspen’s continued success as a silver producer. His response, “the Aspen district shows no sign of exhausting for many years to come. Notwithstanding the fact that this camp is old and long-established, the character of the deposit is such that it will require many years to arrive at
No v e m b e r 20 - No v e m b e r 26 , 20 14
where to prospect for new silver veins. Spurr said only, “it is somewhat better to put faith in the old maxim that the ore is where you find it which is true on the face of it but still leaves a man with the problem of how and where to find it.” Spurr left Aspen to study the Yukon. Prospectors used his report and maps of the Alaskan gold districts in his “Geology of the Yukon District of
Alaska,” published in 1898. Spurr’s Aspen study, a monograph and atlas, was not published until 1899. Though Aspen residents had almost forgotten about his work, many orders came in. The set sold for $3.60 ($85 in today’s dollars). Framed pages from that atlas adorn many Aspen offices today. Pitkin County Library has the atlas and the monograph. Even if you have no background in geology you will enjoy spending a few hours with this USGS study of local features and the spectacularly colorful lithography of the atlas. While Spurr did not make practical suggestions for further Aspen exploration, he later wrote a book on the applications of geology for finding ore bodies. He produced a study similar to the Aspen one for the Tonopah district in Nevada; worked around the world as a consultant; and became one of the most prolific and famous geologists in America. Late in life Spurr turned to a new field of inquiry, the geology of the moon. Spurr lived until 1950, long enough to watch his Aspen prophesy turn out to be more than a nugget for a local newspaper editor’s promotional pulpit.
Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn2@ comcast.net.

1890 ASPEN
ON NOV. 30, 1889, the Aspen Weekly Times recounted the grand opening of the Hotel Jerome. As the paper described, “The handsomest hotel on the western slope opened its broad portals to the merriest crowd of merrymakers ever assembled in the silver metropolis. The electric lights in the new Hotel Jerome shone on the brightest throng of fair women and brave men that it has been the good fortune of any to see in many a year. The grand dining room was more than filled with its crowd of merry dancers, bent on the pleasant task of giving the new hotel the most pleasant and enthusiastic housewarming ever recorded in the history of caravansaries from the time of Noah downward. They were out for fun and they got it to their hearts’ content. The beautiful costumes of the ladies stood out harmoniously from the frescoed walls, forming a kaleidoscope of artistic beauty, the equal of which it would be hard to find. The dying strains of the last waltz faintly sounded on the mountain zephyrs the strain of ‘Good night! All is well.’ As the clock struck two. The throng dispersed; the hotel was formally opened. It would take more space than can be spared to account for all the townsfolk that were present. Suffice to say the ball room was crowded, the dining room well patronized and the hotel thoroughly and favorably inspected.” Photo shows the lobby of the Hotel Jerome, circa 1890. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE
GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
PUFFED UP: THE WORLD’S WARMEST PUFFY JACKET?
LAST WEEK IN DENVER, at a Columbia Sportswear event stocked with gear designers and at least one Olympic athlete, I got a sneak peek at what was being called “the warmest puffy on the planet.” It was one product among a dozen at a 2015 unveiling. But being a sucker for superlatives, I gravitated toward the puffy parka and its shiny, baffled face, named ambitiously as the
Heatzone 1000. Columbia won’t release the parka until late next year. But I got to try it on and pick the brain of one of its designers. The jacket — full name: Heatzone 1000 TurboDown Hooded Jacket — earned its “world’s warmest” tag after Columbia tested it this year near the North Pole. Cutting through the company-mandated
tests and the marketing at the Denver event, the Heatzone did strike me as something different and new. The heat comes from metallized reflective fabric used on the shell and liner, and there’s a new type of baffle design to increase efficiency of the insulation. The jacket uses an airy 900-fill goose down along with a synthetic insulation, both types of this bodyheat-trapping fluff construed in a complex wave-like pattern. The result, a designer explained to me, is an evolution of the puffy jacket that has better heat retention than “anything on the market,” he said. The wave configuration also eliminates cold air getting in from the outside, Columbia cites. Under the bright lights inside the demo area I put the jacket on. Within a minute I was feeling the warmth in the “heat zone” created by the puffy. Despite snow falling on Colorado, they would not let me take it outside. Clarification: The Heatzone is not the warmest jacket on the planet. That designation would go to the hefty, knee-length parkas built for polar researchers and arctic explorers. But considering its lithe build, the Columbia offering could be in the running as hottest in its civilian class. Look for the Heatzone in fall of 2015. The jackets will cost around $450 and come in men’s and women’s models, ready for the coldest days in Denver or, maybe, at the North Pole.

WINEINK
HAPPY THANKSGIVING: A HOLIDAY TOAST COULD ONE CONJURE a holiday more conducive to drinking great wine than Thanksgiving? Everything about it is tailormade for those who love wine. And food. And family. Put those things together, throw in a little football — all right a lot of football — and you have the most wonderful day of the year. The only question KELLY J. HAYES that remains is, “What should I drink?” Well, since it’s Thanksgiving, a time for celebration, I always recommend that you drink your good stuff first. That’s right, go to your cellar or wine rack or closet and pull out those bottles that you have been saving for “a special occasion.” The ones you simply wouldn’t think of opening on an average Tuesday. Well, there is no occasion more special than your Turkey Day dinner, people. If you have a great bottle of Burgundy that you bought when you were feeling flush or a

busty Barolo that you keep because it was the wine that you poured at your wedding or a bottle of vintage Champagne in your fridge waiting for a reason to uncork it, now is the time. The first rule of Thanksgiving is that it is the night when you open the best bottles that you have. The second rule of Thanksgiving, at least in my house, is that if you are going to go out and buy a case or more of wines to supplement your feast, you should buy American. I know, I just suggested you pour the Burgundy and Barolo with your bird — and you should. But if you start from scratch, let’s show our domestic wine industry a little love. Thanksgiving is, after all, the most American of holidays. It is the day the Native Americans first sat down with the ersatz Americans and celebrated their mutual good fortune and enjoyed a meal that no doubt featured fermented juices to help the two parties come together. Get back to the lands that make this country great. Be it the wines of Colorado’s Grand Mesa, the Texas Hill Country, Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, the sandy soils of Long Island’s North Fork or even California’s Napa and Sonoma, drink wines from the places you love. Buy American. And, while I abhor wine rules in general, a final scripture should read, “Pour no bad wines.” In this day and age, there is little excuse for buying and serving a bad bottle of wine. Go to your local wine shop with a list of the holiday repast you’re planning on prepping and show it to the lovely men and knowledgeable ladies who labor in said shop. They will be happy to take you through the aisles and point out the wines they are

passionate about. With a little luck, each bottle you open will have a little story that you can use to regale your family and guests. If you are planning on going shopping, you might want to do a little pre-planning. Count the number of guests you are expecting and plan for a healthy half-bottle per person. A dozen people coming, ok, break that rule. Be sure to get at least a case. You will be surprised how fast the wine can flow at a holiday gathering. But what to buy? Well for starters, there are some great deals to be found at the 48th annual Wine Sale at The Wine Cellar at Carl’s Pharmacy. Saving some money and getting wine at Carl’s is a veritable Aspen tradition. But get there early, they tend to sell out of the best deals. So always start with a little bubbly to get everyone in the mood. Some prefer red, some prefer white. How about a compromise with a sparkling Rosé? Next, be sure you have a dry white wine that is floral enough to make
an impression but soft enough that it quaffs easy. For the Turkey, I suggest three wines, a fairly hefty Chardonnay (yes they still make those), which will stand up with the multiple flavors of stuffing, a Pinot, personable and appealing and a bigger Red. You can go with a Cab or a Merlot but consider something a little different. Maybe a Zin or even Petite Sirah. And don’t forget dessert. Who can? With the pumpkin and pecan pie it’s nice to have a little something to sip. For me a great Thanksgiving pleasure is pie and a small glass of the orange-tinged desert wine, Andrew Quady’s “Essensia.” It is gold in a glass and simply makes me feel good. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS
BIG IN KOREA
A ROTTEN GOOD FOOD INFILTRATES AMERICA FERMENTED. BITTER. Smoked. These are three major food trends that news media, industry experts, and chefs predict will influence American eating habits in 2015. Already, consumers are seeking pungent flavors created through specific preservation techniques and focusing on digestive health via foods rich in probiotics (beneficial bacteria), such as cultured yogurt AMANDA RAE and pickled vegetables. Another trend: more “true-to-region” Asian foods, as evidenced by H Mart, a popular East Coast specialty chain, and an uptick in international items at Trader Joe’s and Costco. One can’t help but notice the surge of Korean-American chefs in the celebrity sphere over the past few years, too. (A short list: Momofuku emperor David Chang; Roy Choi of L.A.’s Kogi BBQ Taco Truck, for which he was crowned a Food & Wine Best New Chef in 2010, a magazine first; James Beard Foundation Awards Best Chef Southeast finalist (2011-2014) Edward Lee; “Top Chef” Season 10 winner Kristen Kish; and acclaimed Aspenite Akira Back, known for infusing sushi with Korean flavors and who recently launched namesake restaurants in New Delhi and Jakarta to rave reviews.) One superstar food that unites all of the above? Kimchi. The spicy-sour fermented condiment, traditionally made of cabbage blended with garlic, spices, and soaked in liquid for days to weeks, has been a staple of the Korean diet since the 16th century. Now, Korea’s national dish is finding fame in the Western world. Kimchi (also spelled kimchee or gimchi) is ubiquitous in cities where ethnic cuisine is widely available, but only recently has the dish made its way to local menus as well. “It’s hard to find good Asian products in the valley — kimchi being one of them,” says David Wang, chef of the new Meat & Cheese Restaurant & Farm Shop on Hopkins Avenue in Aspen. So, Wang and crew make it from scratch at Avalanche Cheese Company in

Basalt, based loosely on a recipe he learned from a Korean friend in Southern California. Napa cabbage is salted, drained, and mixed with “the guts”: a combination of carrots, daikon, fish sauce, aromatics, and gochujang, or Korean chile paste. It sits for weeks to a month in traditional ceramic crocks, developing acidity and umami nuances as Lactobacillus bacteria work their magic. Wang incorporates this kimchi in two best-selling dishes at Meat & Cheese: On gnocchi-like rice dumplings in a five-alarm chile sauce with shredded porchetta, and atop slow-sautéed kale. “The kimchi gives the kale a meatiness — without actually having to add meat to the dish,” says Wang, who took inspiration from a previous stint working with Louisianaborn chef Will Nolan at Viceroy Snowmass. Braised greens are a Southern staple; Wang prepared a milder version of kimchi there, too. “It’s a way for people to have certain produce during the long winter months, when those items are not available,” Wang explains. “It totally fits the bill of what we’re trying to do at Meat & Cheese: show seasonality, fermentation, and preservation.” Other Aspen chefs are hopping on the proverbial Orient Express. Martin Oswald of Pyramid Bistro serves vegetable potstickers with tangy kimchi slaw; Caribou Club’s Miles Angelo tops seared Ahi tuna with homemade kimchi; chef Rob Zack at Hotel Jerome adds kimchi to mini carne asada tacos. The spicy stuff adorns numerous dishes at chef Mark Fischer’s restaurants, including pickled shrimp with avocado panna cotta at The Pullman in Glenwood Springs, and short-rib tacos, Thai-style fried chicken, and slow-roasted Berkshire pork at Phat Thai in Carbondale. Other chefs produce a personal stash for use when inspiration strikes. You’ll find cider slaw, dilly beans, and “hopped” pickles on the menu at Carbondale Beer Works, but chef Mark Hardin makes kimchi on the side also. (Farmer Jack Reed, who runs a popular CSA delivery program in the Roaring Fork Valley,

is a fan.) Kenichi master sushi chef Kiyomi Sano keeps a jar of secretrecipe kimchi on his sushi bar, to present to patrons at whim. Like tangy kefir or briny sauerkraut, kimchi is something of an acquired taste. A photo essay published recently in London’s Daily Telegraph detailed the breakfast habits of children around the world, noting that, “A child’s first taste of kimchi is something of a rite of passage, one captured in dozens of YouTube videos featuring chubbyfaced toddlers grabbing at their tongues and occasionally weeping.” Indeed, kimchi can exhibit intense flavors and aggressive aromas, depending on how long it’s been left to, well, rot. As chef Chang’s Lucky Peach magazine described during a diligent recipe testing, “It’s like my fridge has halitosis, or that’s what it feels like when I open it at 6 a.m.” The Pulmuone Kimchi Museum in Seoul, established in 1986 and still the only cultural food landmark of its kind in the country, displays 187 kinds of kimchi and offers classes on making it at home. (See “1, 2, 3, Kimchi!,” opposite page.) It’s a simple process, but the trick, many believe, is to break down vegetable cells by mashing and pulverizing pre-fermentation, so that microorganisms can easily get to work. Most recipes include kochukaru, Korean chile pepper.
Fish sauce, shrimp paste — even raw oysters and kombu (dried seaweed) — deepen umami flavor. Advanced versions call for sweet rice (or glutinous rice) flour, which facilitates lactic acid fermentation and helps seasonings stick to the vegetables. That kimchi was born of necessity — long ago Korean peasants hid food from intruders by burying it in clay vessels underground; they dug ’em out later to discover that the vegetables inside, though rotten, were still edible — is particularly relevant to the modern-day sustainability movement. “You can make kimchi out of pretty much anything,” says my friend and go-to authority on Korean cuisine, Adam Christopher Norwig, a Seoul-born chef based in Aspen. “It can be artisanal, with nouveau ingredients — I like to kimchi okra — but, really, Koreans use whatever they can. This is poor people’s food. Korea has a horrible history of everyone trying to subjugate them. They were tough, angry, mostly illiterate, from a belief model of Shintoism, valued family and farm first, and with stubborn genetics. How do you use and hide your resources in this environment? You preserve that shit with a tried-andtrue fermentation process and hide it underground in jars.” Are you a fan of fermentation? amandaraewashere@gmail.com

MAKE IT NAPA CABBAGE KIMCHI (PAECHU KIMCHI) Makes about 1 quart 1 small head Napa cabbage 2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 ⁄3 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar 15 garlic cloves, minced 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced ½ cup kochukaru (Korean chile powder) ¼ cup fish sauce ¼ cup light soy sauce 2 teaspoons jarred brined shrimp (optional) ½ cup 1-inch pieces scallions ½ cup julienned carrot
1,2,3 KIMCHI!
Remove any discolored or loose outer leaves from the Napa cabbage and discard. Cut cabbage in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 1” thick pieces. Toss with salt and 2 tablespoons sugar. Refrigerate overnight. Combine remaining sugar, garlic, ginger, chile powder, fish sauce, soy sauce, and shrimp (if using) in a food processor. Pulse brine to the consistency of creamy salad dressing, adding water if necessary, 2 tablespoons at a time. Drain cabbage. Add scallions and julienned carrot. Toss with brine until vegetables are fully coated. Transfer to preferred size of canning jar, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 24 hours, ideally one week, and up to six weeks.
Kimchi is a snap to prepare. Cabbage, carrot, scallion, radish, bok choy, pear, and cucumber are common base ingredients, preserved in brine with garlic, ginger, or salted shrimp. Fish sauce (a favorite is Red Boat brand, available online) adds umami, and red Korean chile pepper (kochukaru) lends sweet heat. (Sensitive palates may omit the chile to create white kimchi, or baechu kimchi.) Kimchi’s high salt content prevents growth of bad bacteria while allowing lactic acid bacteria to flourish, lowering pH and preventing spoilage. Adapted from chef David Chang’s “Momofuku Cookbook,” this fridgefermented recipe (on right) is ready in 24 hours, though it’s better after a week. Chang prefers it at two weeks, at which point it grows funkier and may develop a “prickly” mouthfeel thanks to increased CO2 production.
TOP: Traditionally, Korean kimchi was fermented in clay vessels that were buried in underground for weeks at a time.

like (if you’re thinking green salad, Greek salad, kale salad, etc.) nor is it shooter. But since it was served during the cocktail hour of a recent dinner party at the Hyatt Grand Aspen’s Bison Bar, I figured it was worth a try. And I’m glad I did. This pinkish concoction was light and refreshing — a summer salad, perhaps. And when I learned it was made with one of my favorite liqueurs — St-Germain — I was hooked. I have often wondered what drinks to make with the elderflower spirit, and now I know. Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times publisher Gunilla Asher, who died June 2 after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers - To Gunner!

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK: HOTEL JEROME CELEBRATES 125 YEARS compiled by JEANNE MCGOVERN
AT THE HEART OF EVERY TOWN is one defining place. In Aspen, many would agree this place is the Hotel Jerome — the historic lodge on the corner of Mill and Main streets. “This year marks the 125th anniversary of the Jerome,” says general manager Tony DiLucia. “It’s amazing to me to think that something this historic can be found in our small mountain town. It represents more than a century of brick and mortar, people and their stories.” Indeed, the Jerome has plenty of stories to tell (see “A Step in Time,” pages 24-25). When it was built, the hotel was celebrated as one of the first buildings west of the Mississippi to have full electric lighting; for decades, the Jerome had the only bathroom
22

in town that was open to the public. Decades later, its bar became a popular watering hole for writers, avant-garde artists, movie stars, intellectuals and industrialists. Even as the building fell into disrepair, the locals loved it. “The Jerome is something special. You don’t realize this until you take time to reflect on its past — on all the different decades it’s survived; all the different lives it’s led. “It holds a sort of spell over people.” Today, that spell is in large part the result of careful planning — a purposeful weaving of the past and the present into one historic brick building. “We wanted to provide a narrative for everyone who walks through the doors of Hotel Jerome,” says interior designer Todd-Avery Lenahan of Las Vegas-based TAL-Studio, who was the mastermind behind the most recent rendition of the hotel along with Aspen-based architects Rowland + Broughton. “We’re adding paragraphs to the story.” But the story of the Jerome is more than its façade and décor. DiLucia says it’s much deeper than what the meets the eye. “It’s a luxury hotel, but it’s still warm and

PARTY LIKE IT’S 1889
“WHAT IS THE JEROME’S PLACE IN ASPEN’S HISTORY? THAT’S A BIG QUESTION WITH AN EASY ANSWER: NO MATTER WHAT ERA, AND NO MATTER WHAT STATE THE BUILDING’S BEEN IN, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN THE LOCALS’ HOTEL; IT’S ALWAYS BEEN AT THE HEART OF ASPEN.” – TONY DILUCIA, GENERAL MANAGER
PHOTOS COURTESY ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY/ASPEN TIMES COLLECTION (TOP)
In the true spirit of community, the Hotel Jerome is celebrating its 125th anniversary with a party that promises to be one for the ages. “The Jerome is truly the crown jewel of Aspen; it’s part of the fabric of our community,” says Hotel Jerome general manager Tony DiLucia. “And this party is going to perfectly represent that. “It looks back on our history while showcasing the present; it’s a progressive party with something for everyone,” he continues. “The community can be part of it in several ways.” The party, planned for Friday, Nov. 28 — exactly 125 years to the date that the hotel first opened its doors — is being called “Party Like It’s 1889.” It’s a progressive cocktail party that pays homage to the hotel’s rich history. The event will take guests back in time to revisit the years that transformed the hotel — from the mining era to the 10th Mountain Division days to the wild 1970s and more. Signature drinks like the J-Bar’s Aspen Crud, as well as small bites and a fondue tasting, will be on the menu as guests move from the Library to the Living Room to the J-Bar to the Prospect Restaurant. Once guests have traveled through time, they will return to present day at an after-party in the ballroom. The event will take place from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person and are available online at http://www.eventbrite. com/e/125th-hotel-jerome-anniversary-party-tickets14242033305?aff=eac2. A portion of all ticket sales will go to the Aspen Community Foundation and the Aspen Historical Society “We chose these beneficiaries because they are also part of the fabric of our community — the Community Foundation gives back to so many important organizations, and the Historical Society... well, where would we be without the work they do?” says DiLucia. “Party Like It’s 1889” kicks off a winter filled with “spirited celebrations such as a cocktails-by-the-era menu at the storied J-Bar, Aspen insider tips and seasonal partnerships” all designed to showcase the Jerome, “an institution for locals and visitors from early silver-mining days of the late-1800s, the 1940s when Aspen rose to fame as the ski resort for discerning travelers and the 1970s when Hunter S. Thompson was the reigning king of J-Bar. Hotel Jerome completed an extensive renovation in December 2012 that preserved the spirit of the hotel’s heritage and added a contemporary experience,” according to event organizers. And if the party and these random special events are not enough of a celebration, think about these big-ticket ways to honor the occasion: 125 Nights of Winter and Aspen Elevated. Both priced at $125,000, these travel packages provide “exclusive perks and access to experience the best of Aspen.” With 125 Nights of Winter, visitors get the opportunity to call Hotel Jerome “home” and to experience the town as their own luxury playground through weekly adventures, access to the famed Caribou Club and privileged seasonal ski passes and gear. Included in the package are: 125 nights in a junior suite king with daily breakfast in-room or at Prospect; choice of one weekly custom Auberge Adventure (or other local experience), such as heli-skiing, alpine skiing with Olympians, twilight dog sledding and cooking classes with Aspen’s culinary masterminds; access to Caribou Club, Aspen’s most exclusive private club; season ski passes and equipment rentals. Aspen Elevated is a four-night couples getaway that showcases the best of Aspen with a highly-customized itinerary over New Year’s Eve.

A STEP IN TIME welcoming. It’s not intimidating. You don’t walk in and just go, ‘Wow...this is amazing.’ “You walk in and you want to sit and stay; you want to eat and drink; you want to experience Aspen.” The newly renovated Living Room — with its plush seating, rich colors and roaring fire — is part of the draw. But really, for locals and visitors, it’s the J-Bar that pulls at the heartstrings. “Steady Eddy, that’s the J-Bar. No matter what’s going on in the world, the J-Bar is still there,” says DiLucia. “You can always walk in

there and have a burger and a beer and just say, ‘I’m so happy.’” The feeling is one DiLucia and his team hope to keep into the hotel’s next 125 years — and one they hope to share through an anniversary bash open to the entire community on Nov. 28 (see “Party Like It’s 1889,” previous page). “After all these years, it’s such an honor to be part of this history,” says DiLucia, who has spent more than half of his career in the hotel industry at the Jerome in two different stints. “The Hotel Jerome is the crown jewel of Aspen — always has been, always will be.”

• 1882 Jerome B. Wheeler and his wife Harriet moved from New York to Manitou Springs, Colorado. He was enamored by the sight of Aspen Mountain and invested more than $6,000,000 in silver mines and other local ventures. • 1888 Aspen had become a mini-metropolis in the Rockies and it was deemed fitting that the city should have a truly magnificent opera house and a grand hotel. Wheeler, having built an imposing second home in Aspen, cheerfully agreed to finance both projects. • 1889 The hotel was conceived by Messers. Bixby and Phillips, Kansas innkeepers who proposed an establishment to rival The Savoy in London which was about to open as Europe’s most luxurious and modern hotel. Jerome B. Wheeler donated a prime parcel of land known as Jacob’s Corner at the juncture of Mill and Main Streets and loaned Bixby and Phillips $60,000 for the construction. Wheeler later took over the entire project, which was completed at a total cost of $150,000 — the equivalent of approximately $1,600,000 today. The exterior of the three-story hotel was constructed from rich red bricks and sandstone from nearby valley kilns and quarries. The interior was richly appointed in the decorating trends of the era, such as elaborate wall coverings and handmade Colorado tile. The Jerome boasted 92 guest rooms, 15 bathrooms, indoor plumbing, hot and cold running water, steam heat and an elevator. The building was also one of the first west of the Mississippi River to be fully lit by electricity. The Hotel Jerome’s grand opening was held on Thanksgiving Eve with electric lights glowing in every room. The grand opening ball and banquet were attended by socialites from New York, beef barons from Chicago and even European aristocracy. Rooms could be had for $3 to $4 per night. • 1890 The Hotel Jerome became the heart of Aspen’s booming silver camp. With the invention of the Pullman sleeping car, train travel was the new “rage” and the Hotel Jerome became a mecca for touring grande dames, Eastern bigwigs, stage and opera stars and Congressional speakers. • 1892 The Hotel Jerome was sold to Archie C. Fisk of Denver for $125,000. At the time, this was deemed the largest real estate sale to date in Aspen. • 1893-1910 With the demonetization of silver and the subsequent “silver crash,” Aspen’s once prospering community was met with hard times. Hundreds of mines closed down and thousands of people became paupers overnight. Following the silver panic, Fisk failed to pay taxes on the property and Pitkin County became the owner of the hotel, which for the next several years struggled to stay open. • 1910 Mansor Elisha, a local businessman, selling cigars and stationery, made an offer to the county to pay the utilities and operate the bar and billiard room if the county would make a few improvements on the building. • 1911 Elisha first leased and then bought the Jerome for the amount of the back taxes. • 1918 Jerome B. Wheeler died at his home in Manitou. • 1918-41 These were known as the “Quiet Years” in Aspen, when the town experienced no growth and had no external sources of income. Many of Aspen’s eminent couples lived at the hotel, as it was less expensive than maintaining their large Victorian

homes. Room rates dropped to $10 a month (including meals) and 50-cent Sunday fried chicken dinners kept locals coming in on a regular basis. • 1946 Following World War II, Walter Paepcke, president of the Container Corporation of America, discovered Aspen while looking for the ideal setting in which to pursue his dream of an intellectual and physical utopia where overworked business leaders could revitalize body and soul. As part of his plan, Paepcke leased the Jerome for the next 25 years, and although it had never ceased to be the hub of communal life, it now witnessed a new kind of boom. Renovations began in March 1946 and were completed that June. Herbert Bayer, a member of Germany’s renowned Bauhaus School of Design and Paepcke’s artistic mentor, added baths and installed furniture bought at the auction of Chicago’s Palmer House. The bar was moved to the southwest corner, where the barbershop had been located, while the former game room was converted into a restaurant. The bar floor tiles came from a remodeling of the Brown Palace in Denver. Rooms with a private bath and meals were $9 to $16.50 per night. • 1948 The Hotel Jerome was, as it had always been, the center of much of the town’s social life. Though completely
Mortimer Adler. In the ensuing years, the hotel was the site of the founding of the Aspen Institute, the Aspen Music Festival and School, the International Design Conference and the Aspen Ski Company. • 1968 The Jerome was bought by John Gilmore of Michigan for the amount of back taxes following the death of Walter Paepcke in 1966. Gilmore tried and failed to interest investors in restoring the hotel to its original luxurious splendor. However, he did pave the way for future restoration through years of lobbying at zoning board and city council hearings. • 1984 The Jerome was sold to a group of major investors. Recognizing the historic hotel as an exceptional example of mine camp architecture, they resolved to restore the Jerome to its former grandeur. • 1985 On June 1, the first phase of the renovation began. This included retrofitting the building to save the facade while reinforcing the framework with hidden steel underpinnings. Workmen peeled off layers of white paint to reveal the building’ exquisite terra cotta brick and sandstone masonry. Many small basement rooms were removed and the foundation was further excavated to add three feet. Wiring, plumbing and heating were brought up-to-date as interior walls were rebuilt, reinforced and replastered.
refurbished and modernized, the hotel still retained its red plush Victorian atmosphere with the period decor in all the fully restored rooms. • 1950s The hotel became a popular watering hole for writers, avant-garde artists and screen stars, including Gary Cooper, Lana Turner, Hedy LaMarr and John “Duke” Wayne. With the emergence of the Aspen Institute, it was not unusual to find intellectuals, artists and notable industrialists gathered around the swimming pool listening to lectures by
• 1986 Equal attention to detail was paid to the interior, all of which was lovingly restored in Eastlake-gothic period. Popular in the 1880’s, Eastlakegothic, or mine-camp Victorian as it was later called, is lively and colorful — teeming with floral and geometric patterns, stripes, and tendrils, with etchings and Oriental flourishes. Under the direction of celebrated interior designer Zoe Murphy Compton, the Victorian mine-camp flavor of the hotel was painstakingly restored. More than

150 antique light fixtures of brass, cast iron, cut silver and etched cranberry glass were restored. Original cast-iron door hinges, ornate examples of Eastlakegothic craftsmanship, were polished and put back to use. Bronze, ceramic and cut glass doorknobs were restored to their original luster, as were the copper and brass fire extinguishers, door latches and striker plates. In addition to the restored original furnishings, the interior of the hotel was graced by the contents of the Herschel Bartlett Mansion, built in St. Louis, Missouri in 1891. When Missourians could not find a benefactor to maintain the fine old Victorian, its fireplaces, paneled transforms, cherry wood doors and other antiquities found a new home at the Jerome. Many of the wallpapers were custom-made to recreate the finest Victorian Eastlake-gothic patterns found in museums. The famed Jerome Bar was the single hotel area that had been maintained in its original style for more than 100 years. • 1995 The restored Hotel Jerome is a multi-million dollar museum piece whose smallest detail is an exquisite reflection of the whole. Upon entering the hotel, the broad sweep of the main lobby carries the eye to the great fireplace — full reliefcarved in oak, with a silver-dust mirror mantel. Its mate sits back-to-back in the Century Room dining area (formerly known as the Silver Queen). From the lobby’s earth tones to the rich, jewel-toned guest rooms and suites, cheerful colors are abundant throughout the hotel. Broad arched hallways are carpeted in brilliant florals on colorful background. All 92 spacious guestrooms offer special touches, including king beds with down comforters and feather pillows and oversized baths. • 2000 The legendary J-Bar undergoes a month-long face-lift to bring the bar back to its original luster. Using historical photographs of the 111 year-old bar and
hotel, former local antique store owners John and Ricki McHugh and designer Peter Kunz design the J-Bar renovations and oversee the project. The great J-Bar itself, which is the original maple bar that has been part of the hotel for the last 111 years, is gently restored to preserve its integrity and pay respect to the master craftsmen who originally hand carved it. • 2002 Hotel Jerome embarked upon an ambitious $6 million renovation to refurbish all guest accommodations, common areas including the Main Lobby and the J-bar. High-speed Internet access is installed in all guest rooms and throughout the hotel. • 2007 The Hotel was purchased by Lodging Capital Partners and Elysian Hotels and chose RockResorts, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vail Resorts, as the management company. • 2009 The hotel was once again sold in early December. This time to DRW Trading Group, based in Chicago. RockResorts remained the management company. • 2011 In early November, Auberge Resorts was contracted to manage the hotel. Auberge Resorts is a collection of distinctive properties that all share a set of common elements: intimate, understated elegance; magnificent natural settings; inspired cuisine, and gracious unobtrusive service. • 2012 Auberge Resorts and DRW hired renowned interior designer Todd Avery Lenahan to revitalize Aspen’s legendary hotel. The multimillion dollar renovation began in August and nearly four months later the Hotel Jerome reemerged as Aspen’s Crown Jewel. The renovation honors the historic integrity of the hotel while adding layers of craft, detail and luxury to enhance the guest experience as well as welcome back the local community. • 2014 The Hotel Jerome celebrates its 125th anniversary, with a community party on Nov. 28 (see “Party Like It’s 1889,” page 23).

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE
ASPEN UNTUCKED
by BARBARA PLATTS
The table was set to perfection for an offseason “Friendsgiving” — and one more step toward adulthood.
FRIENDSGIVING ADULTS IN TRAINING
THERE ARE MOMENTS IN LIFE when adulthood seems to be closing in on us. Certain signs appear that show us that no matter how hard we fight it, we’re growing up. One of these moments occurred for me last Sunday afternoon amidst scores of millennials. I was sporting a form-fitting dress (a rare occurrence) with BARBARA high heels (a very rare PLATTS occurrence) while cooking (an unheard of occurrence) cheesy potatoes like my grandmother used to every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was one of the many dishes that would be served that evening in a potluck-style Friendsgiving. This large holiday meal was the mastermind of my cousin, Chelsea Dillon. She’s the coowner of Gold Leaf Event Design and Productions. In the midst of offseason, she still couldn’t give her event-minded personality a vacation, so she planned and executed a Thanksgiving feast for 40 people. Chelsea did not miss any detail in this evening. Each place-setting had a Thanksgiving greeting and a notecard asking each diner what they were thankful for this

year. Candles filled the long tables, along with pieces of antlers, fall-esque flowers and pumpkins and squashes. Guests took this opportunity to bring out their winter dresses and their eccentric sweaters. No one walked in the front door empty-handed. So thankfully all traditional Thanksgiving dishes were accounted for from wild rice stuffing to pumpkin pie cupcakes. Turkey, the staple of the event, was well-accounted for with three large birds in attendance. One was fried and the other two were rubbed with spices and baked to perfection. A whole table was dedicated to libations. It was
stocked so full that it could’ve probably intoxicated an entire herd of elephants if the opportunity presented itself. As special as this evening was for all involved, parties like this are not an uncommon phenomenon in this day and age. Friendsgivings are on the rise, particularly among our generation. At least it is in places like Aspen. With heaps of snow piling up on the mountains, we know that the madness of the season is about to begin. And those of us who are part of the working class are going to be tied down to our responsibilities and our skiing addictions for a long while. Because of this, we may not be able
to go home for the holidays and we’ll have to make due with what we have. We may not get to try our mother’s string bean casserole. So, we will have to emulate it as best we can. The evening concluded early as we all were stuffed to the brim with turkey and different forms of complex carbohydrates. As the crowd dwindled down, I looked at the card next to my table setting again. I thought about this time of year and the winter season ahead. I reflected on how perfect the event had turned out and the new friends I had met, as well as the old ones I had gotten to know a bit more. That night, I was thankful for my friends. We are all just hitting the start of adulthood. But most of us still have many trial runs left before we have to take on adult-level responsibilities. These trials are ones with plenty of errors, but at least we have friends to help us figure out the ropes along the way — and to lie to us when they say that the cheesy potatoes you made were delicious and had just the right amount of whipping cream in them. Barbara Platts looks forward to many more trials before she fully becomes an adult. There’s plenty of time for that later on.

VOYAGES
ESCAPE ARTIST | FRENCH POLYNESIA
ISLAND HOPPING IN FRENCH POLYNESIA AFTER A NIGHT OF SAILING through the open sea, the morning had come and the small Windstar yacht had come to a rest. I drew back the curtains of my stateroom window and peered through the porthole. The island of Moorea in French Polynesia jutted out from the ocean before me with dramatic mountains and lush beauty. This was the first AMIEE WHITE stop on a seven day BEAZLEY tour of the Society Islands, an archipelago most famous for being the home of Tahiti. Two nights previous, we had taken the eight-hour flight from Los Angeles to the capital, Papeete. There my husband and I met 120 other passengers for a trip through the islands on the small Windstar yacht called the Wind Spirit. After a decade-long hiatus from the region, this season marked Windstar Cruises return to these islands, with an updated ship and plans for extended regional trips in 2015. After the quick glimpse of the water and mountains, I scurried up to the main deck of the Wind

Spirit to take in the view. We were anchored in Cook’s harbor, a quiet inlet. There were no other boats around us, and I couldn’t help but be lured in by the idea that we had just landed in a true paradise or stumbled upon the set of “Jurassic Park.” We took in a multicourse breakfast on the upper teak deck, unable to tear our eyes away from the view. Although there was water all around us, instead of hitting the beach, we decided to start the day out with a hike. We set out on Three Coconuts Pass. Beginning at the scenic, yet tourist-laden Belvedere Lookout, we hiked approximately 3 miles over volcanic rock and muddy trails to a saddle beneath Mount. Mouaroa. The peaks on Moorea were once the outer rings of an ancient volcano that either collapsed or were blown to bits long ago. What’s left are the rocky trails and saw-tooth peaks that make up the island. Our local guide, Iro, helped us to identify the local flora and fauna, all of which was brought by the outside world — even the mosquitoes. (No snakes or poisonous spiders, yet.) He spoke of the struggle for local island

residents to survive in a land where they make nothing of their own. Even most of their food is imported. A place so beautiful, where the soil is rich and nutrient dense, and yet the people have lost the knowledge and tradition of farming. Everything is shipped in and heavily taxed or grown here and exported, which makes for living in their homeland very difficult to do. That afternoon, we swam off the back of the yacht, enjoyed cocktails and finally prepared for dinner with the captain. The next day we left for the island of Taha’a, also known as the Vanilla Island, due to the numerous vanilla fields. Marketing gurus might tell you that the island smells of vanilla, it doesn’t. But it does smell wonderful — thanks to the frangipani, tiare and wild violet growing everywhere. This was the quietest of the islands, with the few locals who live here collecting coconut shells for oil processing or working the vanilla fields. The road here is perfect for road riding — newly paved, with
varying elevations and the island is big enough to ensure a full day. We stopped at a family vanilla farm where the vines twist and grope around companion plants. Everything here is pruned, picked and packaged by hand, which may be one reason why exported Tahitian vanilla is so flavorful and pricey. While Tahitian vanilla is popular, the biggest generator of income in French Polynesia, second to tourism, is the sale of black pearls. Pearl shops are everywhere on every island, and the cultivation of black pearls is synonymous with modern island existence. We visited several black-pearl farms on our trip, but the experience on Raiatea helped us understand the beauty of the process in an up close and personal way. As we drove up to the dock, a blond American woman named Summer stepped off a skiff to

WHEN: It is always warm in the Society Islands, positioned south of the equator, but travelers should avoid the rainy season November through March. WHERE: In 2015 Windstar Cruises will extend their Tahiti cruises to visit the Tuamoto islands, north of Tahiti. While mostly uninhabited, the diving and snorkeling is said be the best in the world.

greet us. She was dressed in red and her hair was pulled back, exposing a neck draped in a strand of large, multi-colored black pearls. Contrary to popular belief, Tahitian black pearls are not just black — they come in shades of blue, copper, yellow and more. We took the boat out to the Anapa Perles farm where a small shack sits above the water on stilts adjacent to a barrier reef. We spent the afternoon watching the process of producing a black pearl — from sacrificing and then grafting a black-lip oyster that might produce beautiful colors, inserting that bio-matter into another oyster along with a small mussel shell to instigate the production of the pearl and then returning the oysters to the “rosary,” a long chain of oysters that have attached to a rope in the warm water. We snorkeled and explored the surrounding coral reef. Because the round black pearls are all farm raised, our hosts sent us on a treasure hunt where we found hidden oysters. When we returned, Summer and her team opened each of our oysters to reveal the treasure hidden inside. Watching the precision of extraction paired with the beautiful birth of the pearl, made the pearls we harvested all the more meaningful. Overnight it was on to the Aspen of the Society Islands, Bora Bora. It was in Bora Bora that the proliferation of over-the-water bungalows elevated the romantic reputation of the region, but it also brought with it a reputation of being “Bor-ing Bor-ing.” I have to admit, one of the things I loved the most about being on the Wind Spirit was
that every day was a new island to experience, with access to things like the water sports platform on the back of the yacht. Here we had access toys like kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and even a smaller boat for water skiing. We were never stuck in a bungalow. We were never idle, unless we chose to be. In Bora Bora we rented bikes and toured the island. We found small beaches, shops and towns. We also saw several abandoned resorts, which were victims of the global recession. This area was hit hard as Americans and Europeans, which make up the bulk of their visitors, balked at venturing outside of their own borders. Huahine was the sleepiest of all the islands, and also one of the few days we saw rain. But because it remained warm, we took out bikes that are kept on the Wind Spirit and again experienced the island on two wheels. The flora of this island is beautiful with well-maintained roads, and with our bags packed with a few cold Hinano local beers, it was possible for us to see as much as our legs could endure. Finally, it was back to Papeete, Tahiti, the capital of French Polynesia. We explored markets that sold trinkets, fish and ice cream and explored the island of Tahiti by car, seeking out caves and ancient ceremonial altars called mareas. We found surf breaks that lured families to the water, coves where people took out their outriggers for a paddle, and where kids ate French-friend stuff baguettes sold from the island’s numerous food trucks. As for food, the food trucks sold the majority of locally made eats on Papeete. Sadly, when the English and French came to the islands, they brought disease and mosquitoes and stripped the islands of so much of their culture. The Society Islands are still as beautiful as you can imagine, but the people here are in desperate need of revisiting their roots, where food, dance, art and music are once again their own.

‘DUMB AND DUMBER’ AND ASPEN: AN APPRAISAL LIKE IT OR NOT, Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne are Aspen’s most active ambassadors. The pair, played by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels in 1994’s “Dumb and Dumber” – and now, in a long overdue (or long gone-stale, depending on your level of fandom) sequel – have over the past 20 years left Aspen’s most indelible impression on popular culture. John Denver may have a more legitimate claim to Aspen, but the brain cell-melting slapstick and idiocy of “Dumb and Dumber” and its plot following the odyssey of Lloyd and Harry to a glitzy Hollywood version of our ski town – again, like it or not – is most non-Aspenites’ pop culture touchstone for Aspen. Any local who’s had a visitor come to town, under the age of 50 or so, has heard them attempt to recite Lloyd’s iconic monologue: “Someplace warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Assspen.” Every Halloween and Highlands closing day, you can count on spotting at least one Lloyd and Harry duo – usually in the perrywinkle and creamsicle tuxedoes. A few weeks ago, a young band from Nashville playing at Belly Up Aspen peppered the crowd with “Dumb and Dumber” quotes between songs (“Where the beer flows like wine – bet you’ve never heard that one before!” “Big Gulps, huh?”) and I thought about how many artists I’ve seen recite “Dumb and Dumber” bits from that stage over the years. The folk-punk band Deer Tick – who hail, like Lloyd and Harry, from Rhode Island – always use high-volume clips of dialogue from the film as their walk-out music here. Simon Posford, of the British psychedelic band Shpongle, told me a few years back that he’d wanted to come here ever since seeing “Dumb and Dumber,” and knew little about Aspen other than what he gleaned in it. Jeff Daniels himself, playing a surprisingly good solo acoustic show here in 2010, sang about the movie and wryly dropped a few quotes. And so on.
Never mind that “Dumb and Dumber” wasn’t actually filmed here, but in Breckenridge, due to Pitkin County’s onerous film permitting process. It’s our calling card to the masses. “Aspen Extreme” did film here, but how often do you hear a Dexter Rutecki impression around town these days? Aspen doesn’t figure into the new sequel – the occasion for this appraisal – other than glancingly in a fantasy sequence where Lloyd picks a rat out of a trash can with his teeth while wearing a single ski (yeah, it hasn’t gotten any more highbrow than the original). The belated sequel, “Dumb and Dumber To,” reunites Carrey and Daniels with writer-directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who began their dominant 1990s run in absurd screen comedy with “Dumb and Dumber” and continued it with “Kingpin” and “There’s Something About Mary.” The sequel hits many of the same beats
as the original, both plot-wise and joke-wise. The stand-in for Aspen is a fictionalized TED Conference, where Lloyd and Harry are fish out of water among the brainy tech set, just as they were fish out of water in the well-to-do ski resort crowd. The plot takes them on another cross-country road trip, with another important delivery to make, which leads them to fall into another diabolical plot. The road trip, this time, is inspired by their search for Harry’s long-lost daughter (he’s her “biographical father”). The gross-out gags, poop and fart jokes, and Carrey’s inspired physical comedy and rubberface
schtick, are all in place, along with Lloyd and Harry’s beleaguered blind neighbor, Billy, a brief cameo by their van decorated as a dog, and some other smirk-worthy callbacks to the original. It’s familiar territory — and maybe past its expiration date — but it’s a fun romp for fans with winning supporting turns by Rob Riggle and Kathleen Turner. Oddly, it didn’t open at the Isis in Aspen, so for now you’ll have to grab a friend, hop on your scooter, and road trip it down to Movieland in El Jebel to see “Dumb and Dumber To.” atravers@aspentimes.com
Jim Carrey, Rob Riggle and Jeff Daniels in “Dumb and Dumber To.” The movie brings Carrey and Daniels back to their roles from 1994’s “Dumb and Dumber,” which spawned two decades of Aspen jokes. The sequel opened Friday, Nov. 14.

’TELLURIDE BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL: FORTY YEARS OF FESTIVATION’ ASPEN WAS PRETTY WEIRD and wild in 1974, but not weird and wild enough to host what would become the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, according to Pastor Mustard. In “Telluride Bluegrass Festival: Forty Years of Festivation,” longtime festival emcee and Aspenite Dan “Pastor Mustard” Sadowsky calls the ski town in the San Juans the “Goldilocks Zone for championship craziness,” making it the natural home for the galvanizing gathering of flatpickers and the people who love them. “Even Aspen was too established to host what this festival was to become (and Aspen was a freak parade),” he writes. Sadowsky’s pithy narration and irreverent, often hilarious, commentary – familiar to “Festivarians” and listeners of his weekly radio show on KAJX — help

NOTEWORTHY ’Telluride Bluegrass Festival: Forty Years of Festivation’ Pastor Mustard (Dan Sadowsky) 216 pages, $50 Planet Bluegrass
bring the history of the festival to foot-stomping life in this elegantly designed retrospective. Sadowsky charmingly regales readers with stories from backstage, onstage and beyond, with a cast of musical characters including Bill Monroe, Martin Sexton, John Hartford, David Byrne, Emmylou Harris and others, while attempting to capture the festival’s magic and phenomena like “the running of the tarps,” the “House Band,” the “Festivarian” and its astounding growth. The book includes a chorus of festival voices along with Sadowsky’s. There’s a foreword from Sam Bush, short essays from performers like Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck, and Marikay Shellman (widow of festival founder Fred Shellman), along with an afterword by Chris Thile of Nickel Creek.

It’s a coffee table book, with gorgeous photographs of festivals past and reprints of its posters from each year, alongside lists of each outing’s perfomers that, in and of themselves, will quicken the pulse of any music fan. The book’s design and layout are undoubtedly gorgeous, and its limited 5,000-copy first printing is aimed at collectors and hardcore Festivarians. The stories from the stage and behind it, though, deserve a wider audience than that – hopefully (maybe by the 50th?) Sadowsky can put together an oral history capturing the festival and its seismic cultural impact with a lower price point and a bigger printing run.

G D WEEK THE
Louise
Louise is a wonderful dog who lives her life to cuddle with her people as much as possible. We think she is about 1 and a Lab/Hound mix. Louise is super sweet and still has some puppy spunk! She lives in a foster home with two dogs, two cats, two guinea pigs and two kids (15 and 12) and does great with everyone! She loves to play with both dogs but definitely calms down nicely in the house. She doesn’t have accidents in the house either which is a bonus, of course!! She loves her daily walks, attention and snuggles with whoever has time. Please fill out an application at luckydayrescue.org then call 970-618-3662 LUCKY DAY ANIMAL RESCUE OF COLORADO
