Comment on Dinner at Rocco with Ali by Russ Roberts

They do everything right at Rocco. My harshest complaint is that the table can feel small. Incredibly thoughtful dishes, sharp and attentive waitstaff, and a sense that everyone who works there cares about the food and the customers.

Nice review! I had a blast – thought it was a great event! Granted, not every piece was a slam dunk, but all-in-all it was an afternoon very well spent… Definitely left knowing more than when I arrived – and I think that’s the point… -B

Jason,

Thanks so much for the kind words. You’re right, we did have a lot to learn with this first event, and the plan is to take our lessons and use them to make things a lot better.

Thanks again for attending, and I hope you can make it next year.

Comment on Ali and I Get to Not See Gaylord at Boulder by Jason Olshefsky

No and no. I don’t stay in touch with the guys from Gaylord, only catching them when they come back to town — they’re in Atlanta now most of the time. I met Jeff shooting pool at the Krown, Drew from when he was in Dead Blue Hand, and Corey from Gaylord and also through his brother Kevin. All I knew was that they were on the Boulder Calendar but then it was taken off shortly after the show.

The barista wasn’t particularly helpful and offered no additional comment other than that the show was canceled.

That sucks. Did you get a reason as to why the show was cancelled? And is there any news of a makeup gig? I’d love to catch those guys.
