Looks like the president-elect just finished dinner at Jorge’s Sombrero.

Bloggin' for the weekend.

Today in Cafe Society: • George Ayala talks about the Obama family's visit to his restaurant, Jorge’s Sombrero in Pueblo. • Spud Bros. in Boulder offers discounts for parking tickets. • The Candy Girls sample Sunkist Float Soda. • The impending auction of Ocean restaurant. • Enjoying a very happy hour at the new, improved Aix.

Today in The Latest Word: • The Boulder Daily Camera's building goes on the block. • Bronco Brandon Marshall's wacky plan to give Barack some glove love. • Marilyn Musgrave still hasn't publicly conceded defeat to Betsy Markey. • Bill Pullman is set to receive the Denver Film Festival's John Cassavetes Award. • A forged certification and a cover-up at Denver Health. Sound the alarm. -- Michael Roberts
