X Games

I'm back in Aspen this weekend (I lived here for about 7 years before moving to Denver) for X Games...it's such an amazing time to be in town. I'm actually working, cooking breakfast every morning for the Red Bull athletes and crew. It's really great, everyone is so grateful for a hot breakfast...and two of the athletes placed 1st and 2nd in the skier superpipe event last night: Tanner Hall and Simon Dumont...it was an awesome contest. Local boy Peter Olenick came in third, so that was great too. Check out the X Games here: http://www.expn.com and Red Bull here: http://redbullusa.com . Red Bull is doing the greatest gallery of photos on Aspen Mountain, too. It's this amazing display of their sports photography contest with entries from all over the world, all illuminated on light boxes. It looks "otherworldly" at night in the middle of the mountain face, and their opening night party up in the gallery was off the hook...take a peek: http://www.redbullillume.com/?cmd=frontendFrameset&noflash=false&nojavascript=false . So not-so-early to bed, but early to rise for me through Sunday...but managing to have a good time despite the ungodly wake up call! ;-)
