Just getting started posting and from Colorado, buttt…live in Prague, CZ now.  
I will be there in June for a wedding, though, where we are going to have a bachelor party at the Wynkoop. Just to let anyone interested know, they have two private rooms for rent (Morey & Brown). The rooms have a private pool table and stereo system. Each one is good for around 20 ppl I hear.

If you wanted the contact info:

\> \> Web Site Address: [www.wynkoop.com](http://www.wynkoop.com)  
\> \> Toll Free number: 1-888-WYNKOOP  
\> \> Brewery: 303-297-2700 9AM-4PM (MST)

The Wynkoop is located across from Union Station, and I _think_ they have directions on their website.

Have fun. If anyone isn’t into beer, they have a real tasty hand-made rootbeer sometimes. And the beer-cheese soup is to die for.

Since I am no longer a Doper (See: [Sic Transit Gloria Mundi](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000931.html) I am no longer going to organize or attend the Colorado Doper’s meeting in May. My apologies my abrupt departure.

Um, dad? Was it something we should know about that precipitated your departure or should this just be left alone?

Hey cynical, is my stupidity a reflection of your teaching?

BTW, I hear dad’s back in town and posting again. Fact or fiction?

I think that it’s more along the lines of my teachings are a reflection of _my_ stupidity. 🙂

As far as Dad goes, “I know nothing, I hear nothing…-Schultzie from Hogan’s Heroes”

Hee hee!

For the record, I will not play pool, but have been known to hold a beer from time to time while you shoot.

Of course, if it comes back to you substantially less full, then you’re just a half-empty sort of person, aren’t you?

Hey, y’all are having your party at the same time the next HouDope party is taking place! I don’t know how this would work but I have a cell phone. Maybe I could call y’all from the Houston party? Anyone have a cell phone?

I do not merely dance. I bewitch. I seduce. I enchant and I bewilder. Throw money.

To assist in locating each other, I recommend we have some kind of really cool signal. Here are some examples:

-Each wears a miner’s helmet.  
-Fashion a “doper” signal from a flashlight and construction paper. Aim at ceiling.  
-Wear FAR too much cologne/perfume, navigate by smell.  
-Have one person stand at entrance and do a bee dance to relate the location of the beer.  
-Going topless will not only help us locate each other, but will break the ice quickly.

Of course, it might help if we just had an idea of where in the brewery to meet, and an idea of what everyone looks like.

If we have enough people, I’ll reserve a room.

Cynical,

I refuse to go topless. Oh, and each wearing a miners helmet would really make us look like strange people.

I suggest as the newest member of the Colorado Dopers, you have to wear a high school band uniform and play a flute while marching around the bar \< giggle \>

Since SingleDad is making reservations, then you can always ask at the door where we are… **I assume he will be making reservations under “Cecil Adams”.** Boy Cecil gets around, he will be in Houston and Denver on the same day.

Hey anyone seen Lexicon post lately? I haven’t heard from him and he should be moved in this weekend I think.

Well, my sons ball game starts at 5:00pm so I will attend but will be there early. I hope some dopers want to start at around 4:00. I’ll buy the first round for early attendees.

Sounds like fun.

Don’t have to tell me twice! I’ll be at the bar downstairs at 4pm SHARP. It would be a tragedy to allow a round of beer to go unconsumed.
