Our product that we’re showcasing here in Aspen, Sprizzeri, is crushing it! We’re the talk of the town and have everyone from the Amazon national buyers to Costco and lots of national media are on board with the product. This is great news as it’s why we’re here.
Yesterday we hit the pool after a hike and then headed to town. After a quick stop at Ralph Lauren to pick up a jean shirt my buddy had altered for me, we headed to the Bubbles Party at the Limelight. This was packed as usual and fun. Before we left the Polo Shop, Lori did find a gorgeous shirt and jacket that they marked down 70% that morning. Tina our friend wanted to buy it but Lori had already asked to have it taken off the mannequin as we looked at it (she was drooling) a week before. it was way too expensive a week ago but now almost affordable.
After seeing lots of friends from around the Country at the party we headed back to rest before dinner. 2 hours later we were back in town at Steakhouse 316. This is the kind of place Mom and Dad would have gone as it’s very New York inside and is sort of like an old speakeasy. Red velvet curtains hung from ceiling to floor with luxurious black leather booths and chairs and a huge staff all adorned in black and white tuxedo like outfits. Service and food was great and while we were there Jody had texted me a picture of his and our boys eating there four years ago! How funny.
After dinner we were headed back over to our home base, Kemo Sabe where we met Jeremy, Jody and Eric. Jeremy who is from New York walked in and said, “this place is so fucking cool” as there’s nothing like this in New York City. He found a green fedora he loves but it’s $800 and he’s sort of on the fence. I told him we’d kick in if the wants it. By “we” I mean the Company! Jeff, Tina, Ty and Jack had gone back to the condo so Jag, Emma, Lori and I then left and headed back too.
At dinner we were talking as Ty, Jack and Sonny have about 4000 followers on Instagram and actually make money and get paid into a PayPal account when people click on their links and we learned that Jack had posted, WITH his sister’s phone number, “for a good time, call” and his sister received over 800 calls! She or his parents still don’t know why she got all the calls! How funny is that? The boys though we’re just thinking of how to get more ‘likes” on social media to make money. Pretty clever as it worked, ha.
We also stopped by to see our friends Billie and Greg. We’ve known them forever and Billie, after hugging the boys and getting pictures asked about school as she made a deal with them years ago where she’d give them $10 for every A. Jag pocketed $70 and Ty $30 which was much appreciated. They’re great to the boys and us and love them very much. Earlier in the day they had flushed their upstairs toilet and water came down through their ceiling, yuck, and this is in their $35 Million dollar home! So Roto Rooter was there too, ick. Billie took me aside for some advice as when they went to Portugal someone took a $100,000 ring from her safe that they might have left open, they can’t remember. Long story short is I told her to file a police report asap and also to call her insurance company now on the toilet issue. She leans on me now and then when she’s not sure what to do. Remember Greg has Parkinson’s pretty bad but does really well as he had the brain stem implants years ago at UCLA. Bernie Sanders says a lot of crap but the other day he did say the wealthy live longer than the poor and this is 100% true.
Today we have lunch at a killer Nantucket seafood like restaurant that we’re starting to do business with in Austin Texas and Aspen. Then it’s a VIP Party at of course, Kemo Sabe, then we have a private dinner thing from 5 to 7 with a bunch of celebrity chefs in Snowmass before we head to the toughest ticket in town, Wine at the Mine. This is the best party of the event that’s tough to get in to that we’re partially hosting. The main host is Infinite Monkey Theorem which is a canned wine company out of Denver. To get there you go to a certain spot in town and the “Monkey Shuttle” takes you up to the old Red Mountain Mine. There’s lots of liquor and wine, tons of great food, music and all kinds of other stuff. It’s the party of the year every year at Food and Wine. Lots of people have been asking me if I could get them in. The cutoff for the guest list was noon yesterday and we’re still trying to get Tim, who runs the celebrity chefs and the dinner he got us in to tonight, in to the event. We’ll see if we can make it happen or not. Hold your horses, I just received and email that I got him in! He’s thrilled and texted me “love your work mate!” He’s an Aussie.Time for my morning hike with Lori. Beautiful here as always. Lori is determined to get some family pictures today one way or another. Here’s a picture of Sprizzeri and Bocelli at Ralph Lauren and a view from our lot! God Bless.
