Red Carpet On The Rocks

-
Take the worry away as Denver Film Society whisks you away with V.I.P. service to Film on the Rocks.  The website goes over the basics with you when you purchase this VIP package, but no one said how much fun it would be to watch a whole bunch of ages let loose.

We were informed via email to arrive at the Rackhouse Pub no later than 6:30pm.  Of course if you want to snack and booze up a little before you get on the party bus, I suggest arriving around 5:00pm.  The complimentary food is definitely more al la carte type eating with thin style pizza, street tacos, and a steam veggie mix.  I was a little surprised they didn’t have at least queso and chips and/or salad.

You are also given the option of taking the Stranahan’s Whiskey tour upon your arrival to Rackhouse.  We opted in and joined the group in a conference room before hitting the distillery floor.  The tour is filled with a lot of history and would suggest it.  It is short and sweet giving you time to digest before getting aboard the party bus.

Two party buses arrived a little after the 6:30pm time slot.  The group quickly boarded finding buckets of Blue Moon, Coors, and chasers for the bottle of Three Olives Vodka.  The mix of ages quickly meshed and thus began our trip to Red Rocks.  The music blared, no glass was empty, and everyone enjoyed themselves.  Some of them too much as a few had already drank their fair share back at the Rackhouse; they began to dance on the stripper pole at the back of the bus.  It was a great people watching experience.

The fifty dollars was well spent with the appetizers, drinks, and constant entertainment [plus a ticket to VIP seating at Red Rocks].  If you have not yet done Film on the Rocks, this is the way to go [especially if you have a big group].  You will not be disappointed with the experience.  I look forward to the next time I go and let Denver Film Society take me away for an upbeat, fun, and enthusiastic trip to Film on the Rocks.

Hundreds of competitors flock to Chicago, Illinois for the 2011 NPC Junior Nationals Competition [about 30 of those competitors from Colorado].  When first getting the skinny on what was going on, only about 4-6 competitors from Colorado were called out for Top 10.  This is a huge feat as Erica Cobb pointed out "the competition is STIFF".  Erica competed in Bikini Class D with her team mates Jesse Lehman who competed Physique Class A and Lana Hofman who competed Figure Class E.  Though none of them earned their Pro Cards, they will make a comeback at the USAs in July. 10th Place Bikini Class D 7th Place Figure Class E 4th Place Physique Class A Congratulations MissFits & Mayhem on a beautiful performance.  You all worked very hard and know exactly what needs to be done to blow them out of the water in July. **Other Top 10 Colorado competitors included Alex Carneiro, his wife Katherine, and Christina Hefner

Say A Little Prayer For Me

It was a busy day for The Gym as it began well before sunrise.  Lana Hofman, Erica Cobb, and Jesse Lehmen head to Chicago, IL with their coach, Chris Williamson, and The Gym support team to compete at NPC Junior Nationals.  Upon sending them off, Erica met me with a gleam in her eye and a huge smile.  "I just want Saturday to get here.  I'm feeling really good."  It was refreshing to see how pumped she was. What most people do not understand is this show is a qualifier for your Pro Card and by two weeks out; your body and mind are usually fighting themselves.  They ache, feel sick, mentally & physcially are drained, and sometimes fight to keep motivated.  It takes a lot for these competitors to compete let alone compete nationally.  I commend these athletes for their time commitment, their motivation even if they have a few doubts, and their willingness to be vulnerable in front of thousands of people.  They are some...
