I am proposing a late September/early October Dopefest for ALL Colorado Dopers. Even those of you in the outback ( wink ) areas of Colorado – yes even you Four Corners people.
Hanging out with Lexicon and Portnoy ( ack I still like Mr. Cynical better damnit ) last night was a blast ( http://www.cwcm.net/denver081900 )and would like to see all of us get together before the real snow season hits.
I propose meeting in Denver area at the family fun center that Portnoy, SingleDad and I went to off Arapahoe Road a while back.
This means that underage Dopers can attend, we can eat, drink and be merry along with other entertainment like ice skating, video games, laser tag etc…either that or we could meet at Dave and Busters or whatever the hell that place is. As long as I can have some beer I am a happy camper < giggle >.
Here are the possible dates:
Sept 23
Sept 30
Oct 7
So what do you think?
I am game, I had so much fun last night I want to see another Dopefest in our state – this time with a ton of people!
Hey, was this the Dallas game? If it was, then I was there, too! North Stands, row 7! Did you see me?
Anyway, I vote for Dave&Buster’s or Red&Jerry’s. My Dad broke his arm at the family fun place, plus, when we were there it was just FULL of screaming children. I was not a big fan.
Athena? Why? Are you not meant to meet the rest of us < sniff sniff >. Which would be a good weekend? I KNOW I can’t do it the weekend of Sept 16th that’s my step mom’s and her twin brother’s birthday and my dad is surprising her with a train ride with all the family (she doesn’t know yet) up to Glenwood Springs and then back the next day.
Where is Red and Jerry’s? If it’s the north side of the city, I highly doubt I would go.
I’m good for any of the dates listed. I’ll go anywhere you guys want to go!!
Red & Jerry’s is at Santa Fe and Oxford. Pretty close to my work. But, the Family Sports Center is close to my house. So, basically, I’m just saying count me in and tell me where to go!!!
Let’s see… the weekends of the 9th & 16th work for me, but the 16th doesn’t work for you. The 23rd, 30th, & 7th I’m out of town. I have guests coming in the last weekend of October as well. Seeing as I’m not available so much in this timespan, I won’t hold it against you if you schedule it when I can’t come. Can’t do all your organizing 'round me, as much as I’d like you to.
And on the same note as you’re “if it’s the north side of the city, I highly doubt I would go”, I’ll add in if it’s at the south side of the city, I highly doubt I would go. I vote for downtown, myself.
Well, I’ll be in Puerto Rico the last weekend of October. Also, my mom will be here to take care of my son while we’re gone. So I’ll be visiting with her a little before and after we go.
But, if you make the meeting then when I’m still in town, I’m sure she would understand my skipping out to have a beer or two.
I really want Athena to be a part of one of our Dopefests especially after the Wynkoop screwed her over on the last “big” one.
SO…Athena, sounds like the middle of Oct works for you? If so, does this work for everyone else too?
I am trying hard to not get it too much into snow season, people like myself will not risk life and limb driving over Monument Hill during a snow storm as it is, it’s an hour to an hour and half drive with average traffic – unless life and limb is the only choice
Just tell me the date, I’ll be there. I’ll even wear my SD t-shirt.
But I must warn you that my “get to know you” personality will be at an end, and that I will only be myself. I think.
I may even be able to make this one! Yea! My fiancee and his dad are going hunting in Ouray, CO mid-October and I told them that I may come just for the weekend. I’m a little unsure of the dates but I believe they’re going to be there the week of the 17th so if the dopefest is the 21st I can probably be there! Yipee!
Mid October works for me. I just need to check and see when my Mom is coming out to visit me - it’s either the weekend of the 21st or the 28th. Will advise when I get an answer to the email I sent her.
It’s about an hour for me to get to downtown Denver, with average traffic. Techchick, where does that 1.5 hour drive get you? To south Denver, or to downtown?
Depending on traffic, it’s an hour and a half to downtown Denver. With the construction coming out of Castle Rock it can get really backed up at times. Hopefully, with the tourist season over it wont be that bad by then.
Rachelle, that would be cool. Keep in mind that Ouray is about a 7 hour drive from Denver (depending on the route).
They’re going to be in Ouray and I’m going to be with you guys. I’ll just hook up with them the next day. They can meet me in Denver for the drive back home. I’ll definitely need directions to the meeting place though. I get lost easily!
