Mexican restaurant Casa Bonita has been a memory-making institution for decades, filling children with countless sopapillas and dreams of plummeting from the top of a man-made, three-story indoor waterfall while people eat tacos, listen to Mariachi music and watch puppet shows around them.
Somewhere between the 2003 “South Park” episode set at Casa Bonita, embattled comic and Colorado native T.J. Miller’s “Denver” music video, and the countless travel guides that have routed tourists through its kitschy corridors, Casa Bonita’s cliff-diving reputation has taken on mythic proportions.
Now every manner of limber, slightly crazy person can petition to join the Casa Bonita Dive Team and become one of those bodies sailing vertically into a 14-foot-deep pool of improbable weekend entertainment.
According to a Craiglist posting this week, the Casa Bonita Dive Team is holding auditions for new members. The qualifications are as follows: you must be not only 18 (and up), you must be “willing to sword fight as a pirate atop a waterfall, get fake-stabbed and plummet 30 feet into the pool.”
If that sounds like the perfect outlet for your inner cosplay-swimmer, wait until you hear the rest: “Auditions will include front 1 ½ somersault dive, inward dive, swan dive and back layout dive. Must be available to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday.”
We confirmed with the Lakewood restaurant that the position is indeed open, and we are waiting on some tricks of the trade to help your audition.
Ready? Call 303-232-5115 to schedule an audition. And good luck.
“I never quarrel with a man who buys ink by the barrel,” former Indiana Rep. Charles Brownson said of the press. But we need your help to keep up with the rising cost of ink.
