After 26 hours of travel, we got to Wellington at 10 am.
The day we got in we went to the dress rehearsal for the show - it is held in a huge space and was packed with people taking advantage of the discounted tickets. The show runs two hours long without an intermission which they alert the audience to - so the bladder challenged can scoot out. Sue, Luci, Jeanie, Helen and I bought a bottle of champagne and some cups and settled into the second row in front.
There are seven catagories of garments and our section, "Folded," includes 29 outfits. In total, there are about 165 pieces worn by 40 models

The Telluride Film Festival leaves no child – or parent – behind. It is an educational engine that runs throughout the year. This Sunday, September 28, the Telluride Film Festival in collaboration with the Telluride R-1 School District and The Telluride Foundation re-opens the 2009/2010 Sunday at the Palm season with the first in a series of films that are free and open to the general public. Show time is 4 p.m.
Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones is an Everyman for all seasons, the quintessential action hero, both vulnerable and charming. In the four-time Oscar winner "Raiders of the Lost Ark," he shows everyone, not just the smart-mouthed, hard-drinking Marion Ravenwood, a real good time.

"Tarantino films have a way of growing on you. It’s not enough to see them once." (Roger Ebert) Quentin Tarantino; a war movie; the Hero, the Nazi, the Girl. With me so far? Enough said? And to Roger Ebert's point (see above), "Inglourious Basterds"...
October 2 – 4, the Telluride Yoga Center, The Peaks Resort & Spa and Lorrie Denesik welcome yogini/healer/transformational teacher Karen Korona to town for an three-day intensive designed to enhance self-awareness and healing through yoga practices, including meditation.
Do you think sitting quietly for at least 10 – 20 minutes a day examining your thoughts as if they were butterflies is vintage Elizabeth Gilbert ("Eat, Pray, Love")? If so, you might want to, well, examine your thoughts.
One definition of yoga is mastering the field of attention. Meditation is the way, the payoff, of countless hours of asana (poses) originally designed to build strength and stamina to – guess – sit in meditation.
Telluride is one place where going to the dogs is a good thing. (Young Russian directors in town for the Telluride Film Festival remarked in their interview about "dog heaven," saying pets here look like their people.) Second Chance Humane Society rescues hundreds of homeless pets each year, many of which have become beloved Telluride pets.
To show their deep appreciation to the residents of Ouray and San Miguel counties for 15 years of undying support, Second Chance is throwing a party – actually two parties. The first big event is in Telluride, Saturday, September 26, in Elks Park. The second hoorah is Sunday, September 27, in Ridgway's Town Park, home to Second Chance's shelter. Both celebrations take place 3 – 5 p.m.
