Friends of legendary Denver theater producer Robert Garner know the last thing the tireless bon vivant would probably want is a memorial party on his behalf to be held in a classy ballroom, but … I’m guessing, that will be just the start of a party to celebrate a true Denver original on Saturday, Sept. 8.
You know him, and if you don’t, here’s my look back at the man for all ages, who died July 19, no doubt very much against his will.
The fun begins at 3 p.m. in the Seawell Grand Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, at the corner of 13th and Arapahoe streets.
Being an intrepid reporter, I have interrogated several sources who have confirmed on the condition of complete anonymity that there will be an open bar and hors d’oeuvres for this event.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend. You are asked only to RSVP to this page, so that organizers know how much food to get.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Project Angel Heart.

I can’t tell from the information I have been given just how long this party is expected to last, but the goal is for it to outlast the Ballroom stage and spill over into some other gathering place in the immediate vicinity. Check back for updates on that vital information.
