Lest’s have a get together either this Friday, July 5 or next Friday, July 12 at Good Friends. I actually have both days off and probably can get up to Denver by 7 p.m. or so. I thought we Coloradans should once again try for a successful Dopefest. Which is a better date? ---

TV, if I weren’t such a hermit because of a bad acne attack (I look horrible) I would be there with bells on. Assuming I knew that I would be promised to be left out of any pictures, I would go for the July 12th fest but I don’t know where Good Friends is. If it’s more north than LoDo or whatever, I probably wouldn’t go for sure. ---

Gonna bump anyway for our working friends that only see the SDMB while at work Mon-Fri. Sorry folks, the time is late and I would like to bump it. I hope it’s okay. Where’s CommanderFortune and Athena. I know that Commander moved but she’s still in the area and I think Athena is still in Colorado. She is reportedly moving to Michigan though. I have yet to meet the silly woman as one DenverDopefest she was denied our company because of some incompetant yahoos. They didn’t have a clue even though we told them that anyone with the “Adam’s” reunion/family was to be directed to us. Huh. Oh and I need not forget our C Springs folks that came out of the woodwork recently…come on out. Dopefests aren’t that scary and with my scary face I am more than willing to get my ass to another one. As I said, as long as I am not in pictures, I am there on July 12th or whatever. Shoot, if anyone needs a ride I have a five passenger Honda and willing to pick anyone up in C Springs to Castle Rock. You just have to deal with my smoking along the way. If you can’t deal with that, then I think we can set something up for you. ---

Oh yeah and the air conditioning in my car is broken…so you’d have to deal with that. It’s a four door with a sunroof so later in the day it’s not that bad. So if anyone needs a ride… ---

I’m not going to go, but I suggest the name… Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dope as the name of the event. TDDWYD? ---

Sounds like a possibility. Where is Good Friends? ---

Good Friends is on Colfax just west of Colorado about five or six blocks (I think the cross street is Adams - but I will check to make sure). It can be reached by any of the nearby one-ways or down (or up) Colorado Blvd. from both 1-70 and 1-25. **Techchick** , I look forward to the bells and if you don’t want photos taken of you, I will throw myself between you and the camera whenever it appears. ---

Alas, I’ll be in Michigan in two weeks, and those two weeks are so busy with packing/organizing a move/etc that I doubt I’ll have time to go to a dopefest. You’ll all have to come to the UP to meet me! ---

The 12th would be better for me. If we can get a critical mass of people, I’m there… **monster** and **Sunshine** are in there area, too, I believe. ---

Hello! I am here, and I cannot go on the 5th because my husband’s family is coming into town for the holiday. However, I would be in for the 12th, provided I can get my sitter because my hubby is out of town. Just keep me posted on what you guys decide. ---

I looked on Qwest’s Website and they couldn’t find any “Good Friends”. They had a Good Company Coffee on Colfax but that was out in Aurora. Hmmmmm. I make no promises but I will try to make it. Just need directions. ---

3100 E Colfax Av DENVER CO 80206 Goodfiriend’s is owned, coincidentally, by Lee Goodfriend. She’s also in partnership with the group that owns Dixon’s and Racine’s. ---
