Sweet cars go along with the sweet life. Wasn't it gracious of me to lend them my daily driver for the event?
And there's my other car. Not only is does this event have fantastic food and drink, the location is pretty awesome.
Lamb chops from Roaring Fork. This and the green chile pork stew are probably my two favorite dishes at the Roaring Fork.
And the carving of a large piece of meat always makes me happy.
I found some macarons towards the end of the night.
And then there were these things. I'm not exactly sure what they were meant to be called, but they were 1. neat 2. different 3. purple and 4. slightly creepy.
