I'm planning on being there with wife in tow. Prepare for a "Why am I here and who the heck are these people?" look from her.

Great! I'll bring a camera (which will invariably be nearly out of juice) and nametags. I'll be there, roughly, around 6.

I may be late. I'll be coming from work (in the DTC), so traffic could be bothersome. I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah, I'll be late, too. Probably about 7. The DTC -> Arvada -> Downtown trek takes a while.

I'm still going to try and be there, but I have a math final in Lonetree that evening.
I'm going to need a beer after that.

I will do my best to be there, and I may drag along the Boy, too.

I'll be the one looking shy, awkward, and terrified.

Bummer Mouse! Perhaps it'll be good enough to do again.

Everybody else: I'll confirm our reservations around 11am this morning and post any last minute status stuff.

Reservations confirmed....Fado's is at 1735 19th Street in Lower Downtown. (Fado in LoDo!)

I'll be there a little before 6 and will make sure there's a SDMB sign when you come in.

No sign of the babysitter, so apparently we'll be late as well...

Whelp... I'm here, in the back, to the right, behind the MacBook Pro. Since y'all will be late, I'll just go ahead and order dinner!

We had apretty good turnout (9? 10 people?) and managed to do pretty well in the trivia contest. The food was great, the beer was great, and the company was great!

Photgraphic evidence of the event can be seen here: http://www.millertwinracing.com/Denverdope.jpg

The surprise of the night for me was to find out that I've been sleeping with Ted Koppell for the last 5 years. Who knew?

Well, hopefully Mr. Koppel knew. Otherwise, I don't think you're doing it right...

Also, for those who are interested, going counterclockwise around the table, starting from the lower right side are:

YellowTail
Unintentionally Blank
mlerose
The legendary newsman Ted Koppel
thingnumberone, lurker extraordinaire (12 posts in 5+ years on the Boards)
Necros
the Boy
Kairos

I think I got everyone right. If not, feel free to correct me.
