Yes, I have interviewed national celebrities including Oprah and Richard Simmons during my many years as a journalist. But nothing thrills me more than to be recognized by our local notables.
So Wednesday evening at the cocktail reception for the Jack A. Vickers Invitational Golf Tournament, a benefit for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, was a fame fun fest for me.
I loved reconnecting with Hall-of-Famer Broncos QB John Elway and his buffed wife, Paige, who dished with me about being on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” with my favorite talk-show host Andy Cohen.
Paige confessed to following most of the “Housewives” franchises (I am obsessed), and I urged her to add “The Shahs of Sunset” to her play list.
Also sidled up to former Broncos QB Brian Griese, who doesn’t age, and retired NBA great Chauncey Billups who asked me where have I been? Really? Don’t ask me what I said because I was overwhelmed that he even know who I was!
Andrisen-Morton menswear spokesmodel Craig Andrisen started the live auction by commenting on the inclement weather, “This is the first annual Jack Vickers snowball fight. Next year we are going to Vail.”
Billups took a turn at the mic. “Thanks to Mr. Vickers for supporting my neighborhood. Give what you can because it’s going to good people. I remember going to the rec center every day of my life.”
The hearty partiers hit the Castle Pines links on Thursday morning. Bless their frozen selves.
