December 9 – Party Prompt: Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans. (Author: Shauna Reid)
Amie's 30th birthday and the following day, Tour de Fat Denver.
At an old Denver mansion from turn of the century - on a hill, white lights shining up on white stone three stories high. An old hunting castle-type place, rented out for the occasion, friends gathering by large fireplaces, 20-ft ceilings, ladies and fellas dressed fancy to look like Aime, for birthdays we dress like the guest of honor. The next day at a brunch at Rob's house to celebrate Amie and Tour de Fat we eat and be merry before setting out on bikes.
We rode bikes to city park with two of the only double-bikes at the park, and a gang of ten others. We wore burlesque-ish clown attire, parked our bikes against a tree amongst a sea of bikes and crazy clothing, great beer and great live music, everyone dancing and having fun in the sun at city park. We rode to a car show a few blocks over, strode in like a crew. Rode to pizza, then it got dark. Ended up at the White Owl. This weekend party embodied some of my favorite things: beautiful Colorado outdoors in the sun, playing on bikes, and feeling free.
