It takes community support to keep The Sopris Sun shining. Stan Badgett alternates this monthly column with fellow conservative Paige Meredith. And it’s easy to imagine Milo with his bemused smile and his careless blond hair - not that haggard countenance in the newspaper, and to hear the chiding, bewildered sarcasm of his voice. He seems still rosy-cheeked and mischievous. He can’t still be holed up in that cabin, wherever it was in Boulder. I had no right to be part of their grief.ĭick Sparks faded out of our life. One of the worst things that happened on that bicycle was delivering a telegram to a couple who had lost their son in Vietnam. I stacked bricks for a year at the Valmont brickyards, commuting every day on my bike. A performance to be found in the role of Milo Sparks in the series Gossip Girl (2021). I worked at Holubar Mountaineering and saved enough to pay for the delivery of our baby. Azhy Robertson has appeared in 2 shows and 7 movies. After Dorene and I married we were still without a car. I whizzed around Boulder on my bike delivering telegrams: at 21 I had yet to own a car. He became a victim of the homeless murders in Denver nineteen years ago. Milo, who spoke a secret language we had invented as teenagers who knew the first acid freak in Boulder whose comments were dense with cosmic sarcasm who looked like a sheepdog who preferred living on the street to living at home who bandied psychological terms around like baubles. When he finally went home to his family, they appeared as imposters. I invited him to visit The Church at Redstone, but he paced on the boulevard instead. He saw flying saucers coming to abduct him. I was glad to see him, but he had changed. It reminded me of a hike we’d done thirty years earlier in a lonely canyon deep in the heart of Rocky Mountain National Park. He came to the valley for a brief stay and hiked with me up to a cave in Deep Creek Canyon. We were having lunch at the museum when a figure - seen from the back, no less - caught my attention. There was a seven-year hiatus when no one knew where Milo was, then I spotted him in a crowd at the Denver Art Museum. Years later, we learned that they nearly caught up with him in New Orleans (he escaped out the back door while they were kicking in the front door). The FBI came to our apartment looking for him. I thought that Sparks, if anyone in Boulder, would know. Milo’s mother had written a letter pleading for information about her son. I remember going to Dick Sparks’ cabin to ask the whereabouts of Milo, who had suddenly disappeared. We tired of it after a couple of minutes and left the scene, abandoning him and Carol to their own devices without so much as a courteous adieu. Once Dorene and I took Sparks and our friend Carol to a dance where people were bopping to raucous music. Of course, underneath was a pair of boxers. As the receptionist looked on, he delivered his tirade in a sing-song voice, then dropped his pants. One time he performed it in the door of the Western Union office. Soft-spoken at first, it then waxed abusive. He had a crazy rant that he liked to perform, part Zen and part Jim Morrison. He and I worked for Western Union, delivering telegrams around Boulder on our bikes. He was a music fanatic who owned expensive sound equipment in that dirt-floored hovel, a Deutsche Gramophone collection of classical music, and Led Zeppelin, which he played full blast. It reminded me of a “cabin” in Boulder - a dilapidated garage, really - where my friend Dick Sparks used to live. They’re already in the shadow of the original characters, but if the original characters were there with them in some way, why would you want to briefly get to know Zoya if you suddenly can see Nate?”ĪKA we won’t be blessed with a shirtless Nate Archibald on our screens anytime soon- however good news for UK fans, the original series will become available on the BBC along with the reboot, so we can still get our episodic dose of the handsome character played by Chase Crawford.This morning we bicycled past a handsome old cabin in Carbondale festooned with an American flag. Safran said: “…the audience would never accept these characters if they were in the shadow of the original characters. However, in a new interview with The Daily Beast, Gossip Girl’s creator Joshua Safran revealed the cameos set to return won’t be the regulars we associate with the OG series. With the son of an OG cast member, fans are hoping this might mean a return of Michelle Trachtenberg herself, as Milo Sparks’ mother. However, after Humphery’s father realised he couldn’t biologically be Milo’s father, Georgina returned, came clean and left with her son in toe.
