March Madness

We're still bleary eyed from last weekend.  A huge POWDER DAY on Friday was followed by 3 days of intense

RONIN keeps the CUP

It wasn't pretty, but Ronin hung on to beat Cops/Crooks to retain the AHL REC B CUP for a third straight season.  Ronin's core, formed from Euro-Trash, had won the previous 2 Championships.  Ronin is a hodge-podge of international, well educated, hard working, journeymen and one hot girl.   Net minder Geoff Lubin turned away a barrage of shots in the frantic third period to secure the 3-2 victory.
Click for Scratch and Sniff.  Dan Sartain squibbed one in with .02 seconds left in the second period to cement the game.  The Cops picked up a couple young "ringers" who competed strongly.  "Chin Strap" Matt, Jason Flom, Bardsley and three shifty Mother Puckers along with Pepper, Joe and the Vets waged quite a battle.  

The Ronin D was formidable all season, starring Ryan Johnson#18, Rudy Koopsen#31, Donnie Buck#56, Richie Pearlstone#48 and the "Lidstrom-esqe"  Brian#20, an off-season free-agent pickup.  The "Production Line" of Kate #69, Andy#9 and Dan#24 were buzzing all night long, netting two of the tallies.  "Fast Freddy" Rech#27, "Big Game" Jason#22, Chris#37 and Gerry#10 kept the fore check hot. Injured vets Dan Lauer and Kurt F. handled the doors.

We won the PARTY too.It was a tremendous 17-1 season for the expansion Ronin.  After parting ways with their former coach, the Euro team splintered.  Former Trash players, on their new teams, played especially tough against Ronin all season.  Allegations of "stacking the deck" fell on deaf ears once the squad bonded following a "near brawl" in their locker room, early season.  Their only loss occurred on opening night when the Cops/Crooks "rented" former NHL Defenseman Stevie Costalas to fill in.  He kept Ronin scoreless.  17 in a row, not bad.

What Crisis?

Click for the GOOD TIMES pix.Wall Street is so "old economy".  Bear Stearns?  History!!  2 bucks a share? Hello?

What's the deal yo?

 The Fed is printing money in an attempt to improve confidence.  In NYC, cranes are dropping from the sky?  The "Spritzer" he's gone now, but new allegations are coming out about former N.J. Gov. Jim McGreevey.  It turns out he wasn't just fooling around with other guys.  He was bringing in his wife to be "the meat" in his  guy/guy sandwiches.  If all politicians are so Kinky, we're running for office.

What the F#%K is going on in America?

Here in Aspen, it's ALL GOOD!!  It's the POW, The PIX and The PEOPLE.

Hunter's World

Don't miss acclaimed artist Paul Pascarella's exhibition of his recent 
works.  The mixed media pieces are currently displayed at Magidson Fine Art  in Aspen's core---- through March 22, 2008.  Pascarella, a former local, now living in Taos, had a very close personal relationship with the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.  His  most recent paintings reflect on the life, times and the ultimate demise of HST, the founder of GONZO JOURNALISM.

When asked about losing "the good Doctor", Pascarella explained, "Who else can I call at 4 a.m?"  Click on the pix to see his eerie portrait: Hunter's World.

Get Some!!!

Everybody wants some.   Everybody needs some.  How 'bout you?

Yesterday there was plenty to go around.  Laps on 6, the Shoulder of Bell,  Kind Bowl, it was ALL GOOD.  Did you GET SOME?  We did, and it felt soooooooooooo good. 

 For those who were lucky enough to be in Aspen ---it was another EPIC POWDER DAY.    15 to 20 inches of very, verrrrrrrrry deep POW floated in from the North.   It was SIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiCk----again.

For the Beautiful People ( and you know who you are),  March is a time to bask in the sun, ski a few groomers and drink responsibly ---all day long.  The huge storm system that socked us in required many of the pretty, pretty ones to change their plans. 

Sure, we're ready to hit the beach too, but, we buttoned up our powder skirt again and SchRAAAAaaaaaaalped it. 

Don't worry,  we've got a monster backlog of "better than excellent" party pix to share with y'all.   If you're lookin' for your image, keep on clickin' ---you'll be in the BIG TIME soon.  First things first, we have to buckle up and hit it again. 

GET SOME !!!!
