This should tell you all you need to know about Colum: 7 am in Aspen. We're going to our car to drive out. Colum comes out of the woods with a scarf, a bottle of whiskey,a bottle of wine and a bag of chocolates.I start laughing.He says, "What?" As if everybody comes out of the woods with booze and candy at 7 am.Luis Urreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807114003475961695.post-263504603739285322010-11-26T14:25:21.097-08:002010-11-26T14:25:21.097-08:00Luis...that's right! Doesn't Colum (haha, ...Luis...that's right! Doesn't Colum (haha, now I'm on a first-name basis with him) owe you twenty bucks? Where is that bill? I'd love to know who your women writer crushes are.

But of your list, I can say I'm pals with Bowden and spent an uproarious time in Aspen with Colum. Part 2 f Hummingbird is another epic. Sad because she's in exile, but really interesting and really...American. She never got to go home. But she had a wild (god and BAD) time in the USA.
