Colorado Wedding Disasters, Trash Pickups for Encampments, and Fancy-ish Toast
It’s wedding season in Colorado, and that means… your $2-million Aspen wedding could be ruined by a crappy sound system and an inconvenient gondola schedule? Producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies are joined by politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval to talk epic weddings in the Centennial State. Then they take a look at local wins and fails of the week — like that brunch place Paul can’t stop gushing about and why Colorado politics Twitter basically disappearing sucks for everyone. As always, newsletter editor Peyton Garcia joins the crew to share her best bets for your weekend.
