Some of the top music executives in the hip hop industry were in Denver on Saturday for the first Rocky Mountain Music Conference and Artist Showcase.  The brainchild behind this event is Michael Gomez.  Gomez manages local band, Top Flite Empire, has a clothing line and is a former professional basketball player who has taken his love of music to create an event where young artists can be groomed by the best in the industry.

Opus Fine Dining & Wine Bar hosted a brunch for the group Saturday morning with the likes of execs from Sirius XM, Atlantic Records, Warner Brothers and many others.

The Summit looks to expand throughout the country and be back in Denver next year.  To get more information contact Gomez at fogomanagement@gmail.com

Colorado’s marijuana madness has reached into Sunday’s Denver Post comics section:

The season finale of “Project Runway: Under the Gunn” aired Thursday night, but you can keep up the design fever when Hotel Monaco hosts the “Under the Gunn Pop Up Store” from 4-6 p.m. Saturday.

You can purchase designs created by by “Under the Gunn” mentor and Denver resident Mondo Guerra, and “UTG” designers Michelle Uberreste and Stephanie Ohnmacht. Hotel Monaco is located in downtown Denver at 1717 Champa St.

Spoiler alert: If you haven’t seen Thursday’s episode, don’t read this:

Guerra had two designers in the finale but left without a victory as Oscar Garcia-Lopez and his mentor, Nick Verreos, ended up winning the first season of the Lifetime Network reality series.

Guerra’s designs will range from $5 small gifts, up to $500 garments. Designs and accessories from his previous collections will be featured during a runway “sample sale.” Guerra is a former “Project Runway: All-Stars” winner whose design and TV career have taken off since he was a runner-up in season 8 of “Project Runway.”

Designs by Uberreste, who was mentored by Guerra, will range from $30 to $300, both for men and women.

Ohnmacht’s designs will range from $65 to $265. Ohnmacht, also a Denver resident, was mentored by Nick Verreos in the first “Under the Gunn” season.

Designers Michelle Uberreste, above, and Stephanie Ohnmacht and “Project Runway: Under the Gunn” mentor Mondo Guerra will have their designs sold at a special pop-up store Saturday at the Hotel Monaco.

What is that you ask?  Contact the matchmaker Trisha to connect and find out.

Her perfect first date would be “anything interactive! At this point we’ve all done the standard ‘let’s meet for drinks’ date, so any guy who takes a couple of minutes to think up something different score extra points.”

In her spare time “photography, triathlons, anything design related and when I can anything water related (I like it the most if it’s a beach) and then the standards; dinner and drinks with friends and spending time with family.

“I grew up in northern California and my family moved to Colorado while I was in high school.”

All right men, email Trisha at trilind@hotmail.com for a chance to meet Britni.

Ladies, Chris (pictured below) is a 30-year-old business analyst for a medical device company.

What would be a great initial date? “A perfect first date really needs to stick in both individuals mind. Something unique, fun, with a touch of romance is absolutely essential.  For example a wine or beer dinner on the Georgetown Loop train. The later the better so you can catch the sunset.”

How about free time? “I love to embrace the outdoors that our lovely state has to offer. Fly fishing and backpacking are my top two.”

Contact the matchmaker Trisha at trilind@hotmail.com if you would like to make a connection with Chris.
