Bootsy Bellows blows the roof off Aspen

The Aspen club scene, always hyper-competitive, just has a new BIG TIME baller at the top of the list.

It's always a booty call at Bootsy Bellows Aspen.

Bootsy Bellows Aspen, an off-shoot of the famous West Hollywood Club owned by David Arquette and pals has set up in Aspen.  The West just got a lot wilder and Restaurant Row in Aspen may never be the same. Situated in the former Syzygy space (very posh) just beneath Ute City Grill at 308 E. Hyman, Bootsy Bellows Aspen has immediately imposed it's formidable presence on Aspen's night-life.

Bootsy's is intimate and classy.  They bring in celebrity DJ's, celebrity bar-tenders and best of all celebrity clientele.  Most importantly for Aspen... the hottest chicks and the richest guys have been populating the VIP banquettes at Bootsy's since the place opened on New Year's.  David Arquette and The Hollywood group were in town to help kick-off the bacchanalia.

The most desireable people in Aspen always hit Bootsy Bellows.  The L.A. players aren't always in Colorado (it is awards season) so Bootsy Bellows Aspen has a kick-a$$ staff to handle all your night-life needs.   Chief doorman Kim Hanson keeps the flow going at all times.  The best way to experience Bootsy Bellows Aspen is to "step up" and go for bottle services.  I'm not sure of the price list...but it this ain't Kansas...so be prepared to spend.   Rip some hundy's off your roll, cash in your T-bills or just do it the old fashioned way...slap down the plastic...but get yourself in the private seating next to the dance floor.  

Luckily, A. Party has some pull at the door...but it's advised to arrive at Bootsy Bellows early.  Better yet schedule a dinner because once the avalanche of partying starts...it does not stop.  Bootsy Bellows goes hard all night (till 2 a.m.).  Whether you're looking for a hot young thing in a barely there skirt or a distinguished hedge fund manager who works out...Bootsy's has it.  As far as places to see and be seen in Aspen....Bootsy Bellows is the top spot of the moment.

An empty Penthouse, the Kardashians and a jacuzzi

Some of this might have actually happened.

My phone has been buzzing off the hook.  Paris is at the Nell.  Antonio and Melanie are in town. Kurt & Goldie are wearing new furs.  Mariah is keeping it hot in her red bikini while her dog drinks from the pool.  Elle Macpherson looks pretty good with no make-up. I don't make this sh*t up...I just document it.

After 8 years of skiing every day and partying every night I'm tired.  So I figured I would make up a good story which actually could be true.

My friend owns a big-daddy penthouse on the Hyman Street Mall. The luxury apartment sits empty 335 days a year. The other 30 days...it's da shizzle.  Mariah rented it one year for $25,000 per night...but the elevator was too slow...so she found a new pad.  Last year some Russians stayed there for 10 days and trashed the place.  This year the penthouse was still "unspoken for" for New Years.  My friend was getting nervous and I am a licensed real estate broker...so I started making a few calls.  "It's only $25K a night" I would start off my pitch... trying to make it sound cheap. "The place is siiiiick, best view in town...right near all the clubs".  A friend from L.A. said..." Is it close to Bootsy Bellows? I know a guy who might want it...text you later".

4 days later I got a call from a blocked number.  The caller identified himself simply as "Bobo, I'm interested in the penthouse".   He started grilling me about "security issues" in the building.   "Privacy is of the utmost importance here" he said.  Bobo proceeded to tell me that he represented a "very A-list celebrity family" and that I would be required  to sign an air tight NDA.  "O.K. Bobo you're not scaring me...but the price for 6 nights is $250,000 payable in advance and it's non-refundable".  Bobo indicated that the price was acceptable and e-mailed me the NDA.  I did a few numbers in my head ...let's see...250,000 x 10% = $25,000... my commish.   I signed and faxed the NDA back within minutes along with the standard rental contract for "the penthouse"  that ties the tenant up every which way but loose and includes a security bond of $100,000.   Bada bing..bada bang...we had a deal.

Bobo never identified his client...but the $250,000 wire hit Alpine Bank before noon the next day.  The leasee was an entity controlled by the #1 reality T.V. family in Calabasses, Ca.

After seeing the Wolf of Wall Street, I was laying on the couch last night fantasising about my $25k commish.  Just like the old days...I was patting myself on the back.  Of course I deserved the $25K... after all, I did make a few calls. The tenants were due to check in today.   Just then Bobo called from L.A. and he sounded upset.  Apparently his clients were under the impression that their luxury rental had "everything".  "Where's the indoor pool ?" he shouted at me.  I hesitated before I spoke..."there's no pool Bobo...but there is a jacuzzi on the roof with complete privacy and a fantastic view".  That calmed him down immediately.  "A jacuzzi on the roof" he repeated very slowly."I think I can work with that" he said trying to convince himself.   "It has a sick view?"  he asked.  "Yup...best in Aspen" I said with confidence. "O.K. let's go with it" he said. Let's go with it?  The wire had already cleared.  I thanked him and told him how disappointed I was when I learned  that Lamar and Khloe has split up and were not coming to Aspen with the rest of the gang.  Bobo had already hung up.

TIA.  This is Aspen.
