Man about town and Denver Farmer’s Insurance man Curt Corrado scored an A-list invite when he was asked to attend the Emmy Awards recently.
Here’s his account of the chi-chi event: “Got my invite from the (Farmer’s) CFO and a party at his house the night before. Limo came and picked me up at the Four Seasons and took us to the event with some champagne and toasts going on.
“Had a custom tux that said Emmys 2012 on the inside seemed to impress some of the red carpet party crowd. Limo to the event and red carpet walk was the highlight for sure. Met every guys’ dream Heidi Klum and also had some time with Seth Meyers from Saturday Night Live.
“Was in the VIP box and schmoozed with some select guests that were in the party up above. Catered party while the Emmys were going on was very cool. Dinner at a posh sushi place next to the Nokia Theatre. Sat next to the Dancing with the Stars cast as opening night was the next night for this season, and they were up for Best Reality Series.
“Lots of buzz on the red carpet that it was the ‘hottest’ Emmys in history. Many of the celebs came in the back entrance (Tom Hanks and Kevin Costner) and passed on the red carpet walk to avoid getting messed up and heat stroked. Was impressed Tina Fey walked the carpet and spent a lot of time talking to fans despite the 100 degree heat.
“Met the lady briefly from Mike and Molly and the Food Network host I e-mailed you that she was gorgeous. Michael J. Fox was the big buzz in the arena and got the loudest applause after presenting. Standing ovation in the arena. Also lots of boos for the Tracy Morgan stunt when they put him on the ground and tried to stage more viewers.”
Way to run with the Hollywood bold names, Curt! And thanks for sharing.

Eavesdropping on a woman commenting on the ever shrinking news content of The Denver Post Sunday newspaper: “I was reading the Sunday paper. They shouldn’t call it a newspaper, they should call it a coupon book.”
