Labor Day / Booty Call

Dylan = Legend

Rock legend Bob Dylan was blowin' in the wind on the outdoor stage @ Jazz Aspen/Snowmass.

The New Look

Johnny Aspen practiced all Summer to flash his new signature look. It's called " the distinguisher" and J.A. owned it @ the Lobster Party. He's with models, Brooke Lauren and Gloria Crystal.

Lobster fest.

Co-hosts of the LOBSTER PARTY, Laurel and Tripp Keber welcomed a very sexy crowd to Red Mountain. What 's better than all-u-can-eat "lobb-ies" ---flown in from cape cod-----nuttin'.

Man in the Middle

David Lester was smiling all night long after being flanked by JoLynne and Beth Ann at the Lobb-ie Party.

Rock Lobster

Robert and Carrie enjoying lobster-fest. They were partying like it was 1999.

Boca Style

Stef (The Steel Arch) and Suzy Elk brought sexy back from Boca Raton, Fla. Their pal Ricky (The Rocket ) Estera commutes to Aspen from So. FLA.

grrrr. baby, grrrrr

Local temptress Shana Tyler hugged up with Ricky the Rocket, and with little Ricky.

VIP area.

The Lobster Party would not have been complete without VIP's, J.A., Chi-town hottie Lisa "hotmail" Kramer and Billy Zuehlke.

Three's the Charm

Former local, Jacqueline Wong squeezed between real estate playa, Galen Bright and Artist Lucy Tremols.

Hello, daddy

The Man

David Nesslein, the man with the party plan, and his lady Annie, opened up their "killa" pad on Red mountain for the Lobster Party.

Short on CASH.

After a super rowdy show in March, CASH'D OUT made a triumphant return to Aspen. They came, they drank , they mashed it.

Country Rocker

Dwight Yoakam wowed the JAS crowd with his rockin' Country repertoire and the tightest jeans in captivity.

Rockers need to Eat.

Dish and Social teamed up to serve up wild boar chili over mac. & cheese---de-lish. It was a record crowd at Jazz Aspen Snowmass this year.

Mitch Sher, Laura Hoffman, Matt Zubrod, and Denise Walters took time out to pose it up for A-Spin.

Put me in Coach

John Fogerty has finally loosened up and he now plays all the hits from CCR. The story goes that Bob Dylan once told him that if he stopped touring, people would think that Ike and Tina Turner wrote Proud Mary. Fogerty penned the classic in 1969.

Fortunate Son

Always a rebel, John Fogerty hassled a few people in the VIP section about their cell phone usage during his set. Despite threatening skies, the rain never came @ JAS.

Julie Lampton took time off from her own music career to party with ski /golf pro Patrick Vaughn and the statuesque Josie Balentine @ JAS.

BackStage Passes

Local Danger Kittys Josie Balentine and Dana Nicholson managed to secure backstage passes. We were told that free booze tastes especially good when its poured backstage.

After Party

The Hess had tales to tell about the one of Aspen's most famous locals,Conan. Conan has held every job ever created in Aspen.

Spell Check

NYC fashionista Catherine Hart and US Ski Team development exec. Katherine Fleck joined in the after-party @ CAMPO.

Beach Boyz

Former local Peter Greenberg now hangs in posh Del Mar, Ca. while his bud. Jeff Rudas dominates in the scene in L.A. Yeah, Cali's nice but Aspen's still the best.

The Morning After

The best cure for a massive hangover ---coffee with the crew, Lara O'Keefe, Lori Dresner and Rick Schwartz bright and early.

Real Local

Denise Reich and her boy-toy Mo Lipschultz love the Little River House. Ms. Reich's family came to Aspen in the quiet years and they've never left. The couple attended the "old-timers" brunch thrown for Aspenites with 40 years plus in town.

Mother Lode

The Mother Lode eatery is long gone, replaced by $12 million condo's, but the Mother Lode VolleyBall Tourney is going strong after 36 years. Here's a lanky dude bringing the hammer down.

The Mother Lode is one of the top v-ball events in America. Teams come from all over the country to compete in Aspen.

Dance Contest

A Mother Lode tradition. Dancing in the sand. Ten's of contestants vied for the grand prize.

Free Balling

The guy in the too tighty white-ies earned victory in the dance-off. Fueled by way too many adult beverages, he's about to dry-hump the guy in the chicken suit . The chicken eventually finished third.

Dancing with the Stars

Dancing with the stars, Aspen Style. These 4 volley-foxes had a choreographed routine prepared for the dance contest. They were polished but finished 2nd to the free-baller.

Net Battle

Elite teams competed for glory during the 36 th Annual Mother Lode Volleyball Tournament. These two ladies battled at the net. Keep you eye on the ball, not the booty.
