Girlz like Chili too.

Chili is not just man-food. Active, sophisticated women like to rock the HEAT too. Leslie and Anya proved it on day 1 of the Chili Pepper and Brew Fest . Photo: Manolo Anderson

Is that HAIR real?.

The grapevine tells us that Prom King and kick ball Commish, Bryan Vitale is re-locating. Really? Here he's showing off his big-hair action figure pose. BV you're bookin' just for Summer, right? It won't be a POW day here w/o you. Photo: Jordan Curet.

The People Speak

Voted "most popular" Chili at CPAB by the PEOPLE. Matt Axtell and Scott Morton tossed pieces of filet and lobster into their home-brewed product. No sponsors, no promos---just good eatin'. Photo: Manolo Anderson

...the Spinnie goes to.

The production team behind THE ASPEN SPINNIES, --Jack Winton and Rye Zupancis, enjoying their free time. They're the peeps behind the camera makin' it happen @ GrassRoots TV. Today, GrassRoots was accused of "sneaking" in to tape the City Council's work sessions? We smell trouble. Freedom of Speech --baby!! Photo: Jack Winton

Hot, Hotter, Hottest

SnowMass was ready to POP when the Peppers entered stage left to warm up the Crowd. (L to R) Instant Heat, Gas Mask and Fire Crotch ---goin' BIG. Photo: Manolo Anderson.

Reggae Royalty

Stephen Marley practicing Mind Control at the Chili Fest. He's one of the many musicians sired by Reggae legend Bob Marley. Is that the Rev. Al Sharpton on bass? Photo: Manolo Anderson. Manolo, raised in Aspen, is back after taking Bariloche, Argentina by storm. Nice pix Manolo.

The Night Tripper

Dr. John, the Night Tripper himself, closed out the festival. Dina Bloom's use of black and white helps make the photo gritty and real. The good Dr. from NOLA is a world famous blues and boogie man. See more from DB at DinaBloomPhoto.com .

Party Bus

Dina Bloom went "all access" on the Party Bus. Luckily for this "guy with the band" and everyone else---The Party Bus was parked for the night. Photo: Dina Bloom

Late night on the bus.

Late, late night on the Party Bus. It's an interesting perspective. Don't you think? We've been there. Photo: Dina Bloom

Celebrity Judges

Chili needs to be "consumed" to be truly enjoyed. Celebrity Judges Lauren Cockell and David Geiss enjoying the cook off. Photo: Jordan Curet

Line 'o' Chilli

Ready, set, taste. A big time chili tasting "in progress" @ Chil-a-Brew. Photo Matty O.

Mayor of Snowmass

Aspen Spin usually doesn't roll past the traffic circle---so Matty O picked up the slack. Matty O is the "social chair" for Snowmass and a 4-time Judge @ CPAB. He's obviously working his Judgeship to good advantage---- snuggling with Catherine, Chelsea and Natalie. Photo: Matty O.

Some like it HOT

These Judges look pretty serious, and they must be BIG-TIME-- if they're Judges. On Aspen Spin, they'll remain anonomyous, unless they ping their info to AspenSpin@gmail.com Photo: Matty O.

Wings Rule Again

Typical Wing fans---dominating the scene,--- gettin' chicks and takin' home the hardware, even in Aspen. Photo: Matty O.

Walk Tall

Showing off the Winged Wheel is not always appreciated in Colorado. Zach, Caroline, Korey, Todd, Erin, Matthew and Blake have "no problem" proudly showing off their colors. Another Stanley Cup for the DETROIT RED WINGS. Photo: Matty O.
