Shortly after arriving in Denver on the 22nd of this month Bob an I strolled the 16th street mall to see how Denver’s nightlife compares with Salt Lake City. Well as if it is not obvious, Salt Lake City you absolutely lose hands down to Denver.
Now I know that there is an exception to the rule because the DNC coordinated with organizations to help motivate the City and its residents to create "A List" events to entertain us out-of-towners. However, my gosh folks this town has the foundation of a city that is alive and well making Salt Lake one step short of the town in the movie "Footloose."
Tonight I went to the "A List" of all events. There are many celebrities in town for the main event. I ran into a girl on the elevator that said Oprah is staying up in her neighborhood and had an “A List” party the other night. But tonight’s event was the shindig of my life. See the notice below.
Leader's Challenge Access and Engage Event

*Matt Damon was unable to make it to the event because he is attending to his family and his new baby. Unfortunately as the night grooved along the sponsors announced, "Ben Affleck’s assistant called from his limousine and said that Mr. Affleck would be unable to make it tonight because he had been suddenly struck ill." The Utah Amicus' staff sends our regards for an ill Mr. Affleck hoping he gets feeling better and sincerely hopes he hadn’t really found a better party to attend in Denver.
