For the past few months, Maria’s Packaged Goods &
Community Bar has been hosting a monthly winter series “Après-Ski Party” complete
with hot toddies, Maria’s perfect ski lodge-like décor of dark wooden walls adorned
with mounted deer heads and a heated outdoors where guests have enjoyed their
toddies, mulled drinks or glugs. Revelers have even dropped by in ski and
snowboard gear! All in all, it’s been one sick ride. No doubt.
As the approaching Spring ski season arrives, winter
recreationists have seen a good start to the season and a dud of a snowfall for
the northern resorts in the U.S. for the month of December. BUT…a change of
weather starting in late January have brought about record snowfalls. Steamboat
resort, for instance, set a record of 27 inches of snowfall only a few weeks
ago! And there’s been a consistent flow of snow touching local resorts like
Copper Mountain. So on that solid note, we’re wrapping up our Après
-Ski Party series.
Drop by Friday, March 16th to
check out what may be one of your last chances to enjoy this spectacular
series. And thanks to all of you who have been part of the good times.
The Music
Luis Gabriel Aguilera
| aka LGA
The concept man behind Full Spectrum and its notable raves
of the 1990s: Bonkers, Bonkers Dos, No Place Like Home and the Samsara
series, as well as flirtations at the now defunct but legendary Sonotheque
nightclub, LGA is once more delivering the musical goodies – this time at Maria’s via the monthly Hooray for the Mixtape! (HFTM!) series where he showcases mixtape
DJ sets from 1984 – 2001, occasionally playing a recorded or live set of his
own.
As a DJ, Luis has performed in places like Toronto, Costa
Rica, Mexico City, Guanajuato and across the Midwestern States. And like a
skier gliding across fresh pow, the published author (Gabriel’s Fire, The University of Chicago Press, 2000), is also
currently producing techno, tech-house and what he terms DC Fusion, a nod to
both the Chicago House and Detroit Techno music scenes, as well as his
experimental and ambient works. Rest assured that LGA is probing for the right
music for this après-ski party to put us all in that good mood. Come with no
expectations. Be a part of having a good time.
SNOW DOCTA'
Today's après-ski parties are not just about ski
aficionados, 60s and 70s go-go lounge music and the like - though we really
like this stuff too! But with all sorts of snow revelers on board, the musical
tastes of these arctic party-goers have taken to also include fresh hip-hop
grooves (some of them classic tongue twists and turns, some of them new skool
roots moguls) from Coast to Coast and places like Italy, France, etc. – in step
with what a culture is: dynamic, not static.
The Snow Docta' understands that what is forever young is
forever growing, morphing, evolving but is at the same time eternally paying
respects to what keeps the energy and flow going. Be open and ready to receive
those audio transmissions from the Snow Docta'!

party” journey @ Maria’s. Be ready to be mesmerized by epic proportions of
land, snow and human will.
