AN ENORMOUS THANK YOU TO DUEMANI!
We are deeply appreciative to Carlos, Jason, Darko, Chef Pak, Nick, and the entire front and back-of-house team for orchestrating a truly magical evening for our members and special guests. Their meticulous attention to detail and gracious hospitality exceeded our expectations in every way. What started as a request for 1 comped drink turned into an offering of 2 types of wine and 2 custom batched cocktails. Our simple ask for a few light bites on the bar transformed into an exquisite selection of fine dining passed canapés. The team's generosity knew no bounds as they extended the hours from 5-6:30 p.m. to the entire evening, topped off with an unexpected karaoke party in the private dining room. Email hana@twolanes.co for more information.
We wholeheartedly recommend considering them for your private dinner celebration in the cozy wine room downstairs, attending their epic New Year's Eve party, a private dinner party in their exclusive winter Yurt, or simply becoming a regular at the bar for their happy hours. Allow them to weave their magic and become a part of your extended family, just as they have become an integral part of ours. See attached PDFs for rates.
Once again, thank you for making our holiday party an unforgettable celebration of warmth, generosity, and community spirit.
And … in the words of Aspen Business Connect member Chelli Webster, “If you haven’t joined this group yet you are missing out!”

FRI, DEC. 8TH 4:00 p.m.
Opening this Friday 'Home' will display the stirring results of a series of art sessions with high school students of South American descent that are new to the Roaring Fork Valley. These youth have often had harrowing journeys and border crossings to arrive here as strangers to new homes. They are mostly non-English speaking, coping with immersion and missing their families. Annually, The Art Base brings these new Basalt High students together to meet the other kids in similar situations, to share feelings or stories as they wish, through art, words, or just common company in a native tongue with an art teacher from Aspen's sister city Bella Luce, Argentina.
