One of the trends I’ve been noticing a lot lately are pop-up this and that. There was a pop-up art gallery by Artists of the West Elks this winter in Crested Butte, where I live and work. The Little Nell had a Veuve Clicquot-branded pop-up champagne bar “The Oasis” that was moved around Aspen Mountain, with guests able to find clues about the location on Twitter and Facebook.
