Doings Around Town, February 2008

Chamber Announces February To-Do Line Up, "Celebrity Downhill"
On 29th

Like chocolate? Check out the Chocolate Classic at Hotel Jerome on the 6th. How about a lecture on condensed matter at the Wheeler House on the 6th. I know some people who are condensed matter, and don't know it. But it sounds like fun. Now, if I can only postulate how to un-condense some of those more rutted out bumps on Percy's in March.... Watch celebrities ski at Aspen Mountain on the 29th for "Celeb Downhill Weekend." Jack Nicholson may be doing some flips on Dipsy this year.

Here's what's happening in and around town for February 2008. (There are 29 days in February this year, for those you who think that kind of thing has any value. Of course! One more Feb ski day.)
