June 10, 2007 Hi again, from the Mile High City! I have 2 subjects to tackle today so I'll address the most important one first... Dealing with our higher altitude. While most folks traveling to High Country stop in Denver for a day or so to adjust to thinner air and colder temps, Denver is not immune from causing altitude sickness either. Some of the symptoms could be:
Enough of the Tech-stuff... on to the fun. There are several Hotels near our Adams Mark headquarters that are dying to pamper those of you who want to bring their pooches to Denver with you. Two of them, the Hotel Teatro and the Oxford Hotel, happen to be among the great old Denver Hotels from the 1800 Glory Days of Denver. You walk in and you are instantly surrounded by the ghosts of High Rollers, Courtesans and Politicos of bygone days. I visited the Oxford last weekend and the charm was breath-taking. These Hotels not only want to pamper you but adore your pets as well. The Teatro's own Concierges will walk your babies for you, while the Oxford can get a walker hired for you. Both have contacts for doggie massages and doggie pedicurists, provide treats and the Oxford provides dog-bowls as well. They sound like the animals that visit are as spoiled as their patrons. They are pricey... you will be surrounded by antiques, fine decor and lovely art during your stay... but they are truly small gems polished by a century and a half of love and care. Beautiful! The Teatro's two restaurants are run by celebrity chef Kevin Taylor. One is French/American cuisine and The Prima is a Northern Italian Bistro that also sports a bar. Sound like great alternatives to the Adams Mark if you want a slice of Old Denver to remember back at home. Next time, I will bring news of Haunted Denver Tours and Denver's Hidden Tunnels, created for the rich Politicos to discreetly visit the bawdy houses and gambling dens on Capitol Hill!!! Best,
June 8, 2007 We're delighted to announce that Elaine Viets has confirmed she'll be the LCC 2008 Toastmaster. This is wonderful news. We’re in awe of her quick and successful recovery! Hello, and welcome to the Rockies! I may be a bit prejudiced since I live here, but this is a great setting for LCC 2008.
Remember, bring clothing to keep you warm. Layers are the way to go and one really warm coat with gloves, just in case. One minute our March days are lovely, but the next second a cloud cover could begin and it will drop between 10 and 20 degrees and it's snowing like a maniac. Ya never know! I am looking forward to being your vitual tour-guide for the next nine months. I'll be talking about high altitude and hotels that cater to your doggies next, for those of us who can't bear to leave Asta behind! See you soon, D. A. Davenport

Here are things to keep in mind about being a mile higher than you are used
to:
I toured the public areas of The Adam's Mark Hotel on Saturday and that
place is going to knock your socks off. The Lobby takes your breath away as
you enter. Excellent restaurant and a large, lovely bar. The Hotel is
located at the South side of the open-air 16th Street mall that stretches at
least 10 to 12 blocks long which is bracketed by Barnes and Noble, 1 block
away and the LODO
(Lower-Downtown) branch of the world-famous
