feeling a bit refined...



Spencer and I spent 2 nights in a row at the Denver Performing Arts Center last week. The complex itself is pretty amazing and the events were great.
Thursday night we attended a charity dinner and auction for the Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center, which is the organization that
Spencer's cycling team is raising money for. The meal was amazing, the auction items were to die for and the speaker was great. Way better than the Greek Toga Party we attended the week before. One of the best
auction items was a trip sailing around the globe, and porting in places like Bermuda, and Dubai. It has definitely been added to my list of things to do before I die...and once I get rich of course.
On Friday night our friend offered us free tickets to attend the Colorado Symphony performance. Kevin is an internationally renowned french horn player that plays in the symphony here. He graduated from Julliard and is leaving tomorrow to tour with the Philadelphia Symphony in Asia. The orchestra was playing with a french/salsa type band called Pink Martini. Sounds a little odd, but they were really pretty great.
On Saturday night we rented "La Vien Rose" and after all this French
music I'm thinking I'd like to learn the language. Maybe I'll stop at that Rosetta Stone kiosk in the mall this week.
