Aspen Blues Recess II
7/31/2009
City: Aspen, CO
Dances: Blues

Aspen Blues Recess began last year when Justin Riley decided to invite all of his dancer friends from the front range into the mountains for a weekend of dancing, hot springing, camping, hiking, and more dancing! It was such a success that he decided to do it again this year! The event is mostly free, yeah FREE! despite the Friday night $10 cover for the live band and $5 cover for the Sunday late night at Jimmy's. However if you would like to participate in the three community cooked meals (Sat brunch & dinner, and Sun brunch) we'll ask you to throw down a few dollars, maybe around $25. This is not your typical blues event, its a bit more grass-roots than that. Its just a bunch of super-cool blues kids getting together to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and the beauty of juicy blues dancing! Bring camping gear and bedding, as Friday and Sunday nights we'll be camping and Sat night we'll be squatting at Elseware Studios in Paonia. If you like, feel free to use this facebook event page to coordinate drivers and car-pooling from the Front Range, Salt Lake, Kansas City, Portland, and Albuquerque areas. If you are not the camping type and still want to come, feel free to check out any of the nearby hotels for Friday and Sunday nights. Showers will be available in the Crystal River, Elseware Studios, or at the Carbondale Community Recreation Center.
