Funny, I got that look too from my Hubby.
I will be bussing down from Boulder and then on foot.
My apologies, Commander Fortune. I thought you were male… guess I’m guilty of jumping to conclusions. Good, I won’t be the only women there - not that I mind all that much, just hard to explain to SO!
I’m playing phone-tag with Kelly from the Wynkoop Brewery for lunch Saturday. Pool, munchies, booze, and they do allow minors. Any takers?
I’m not a fallen angel, I’m a risen demon.
I would like to meet you all, but Fridays are generally inconvenient, and this Friday is the start of a getaway weekend. Actually expect to be downtown at the Brown Palace, but this is a very private party. Hope you all like each other IRL well enough to plan another one later in the year. Have fun.
I might go, I need to know when and where a I will have to drive up from the Springs after 5:00 (it’s payday on Fridays for me)
Keep me updated all!
I’m up for that. I’ll be done with my conference duties around 12:30 or so, and my flight doesn’t leave until after six. I see no reason why there can’t be two meetings…one on Friday night as planned, and another on Saturday for those who can’t make it to the Friday gig. TRUST me, there’s enough of the Chef to go around. grin

I’m now here at the Adams Mark hotel in Denver and looking forward to meeting up three days from now!

Welcome to Colorado Chef Troy!
So what’s the concensus? Where, where and such?
Well, Chef, welcome!!! I hope all is well; did you get a mint on your pillow last night? Looks like all is set for a Friday rendezvous at the Adam’s Mark bar at 6:30. What transpires after that is anyone’s guess.
Keep us posted.

No, I DIDN’T get a mint! I’m calling Ally McBeal and we’re going to sue!
Also, just to clarify: There are two bars in the Adams Mark. The one we’re meeting in is called The Supreme Court. It’s in the Tower side of the hotel.
BTW, AzRaek mentioned having a second get-together for lunch on Saturday for anyone who can’t make it to the Friday night rendezvous. Anyone who’s interested in this, post your reply here and we’ll try to set it up.

OK kiddies, the Wynkoop at 1pm Saturday. The reservation’s under “Cecil Adams”. Email me and let know how many of you are coming by Friday.
I’m not a fallen angel, I’m a risen demon.
Hoo,Hoo!!!We broke the two page mark all by our little selves. Arncha proud?? And we even had a Texan help us!!
Don’t know for sure about the 'koop on Sat. My kids are in a play at the Denver School of the Arts and I may need to assist w/ a rehearsal. Please, drink all my beer for me, do not let it sit alone in a keg.

Why would we come by Friday if the reservation isn’t until Saturday? 
But seriously, folks…
I’ll be there, and I’ll email to tell you so.

I want to stress, just so there isn’t any confusion, that the Saturday lunch is in addition to the Friday night pub-crawl, not in place of it.
Oh, and it turns out that a colleague of mine is a lurker on the SDMB (maybe a couple of posts) – Brayne – and he’s coming too!

The countdown continues, flawlessly. All systems are green and the crew is looking refreshed and ready. “T” minus 09:11:00 and counting.
Germ Boy checking in, sir.
Woo Woo. A night on the town!
FYI: Sounds as if Jett will be meeting up with us too - probably a bit late though - she has to go see her mum after work and then she’ll call to find out where we are.
I’m just going to ignore you now, because having a discussion with you is like herding cats - Rousseau
Damn. Damn damn damn damn damn.
I’m not gonna be able to make it. After working my ass off this week, I’m finally sick and tired. Yup, I’m getting sick, and I’m damned tired since I haven’t been sleeping well.
Hope you all have fun. I’m very bummed!
A last-minute update…Brayne is probably still going to meet us at the Supreme Court Bar, but he doesn’t think he’ll go pub-crawling with us. Guess he’s been working harder than me today… 
Athena, sorry to hear you’re begging off…if you’re feeling better, why not try to make it to the Wynkoop tomorrow for lunch?

This fete sounds like fun…a bunch of semi-intellectual people in a room drinking lots of beer, discussing all sorts of socialy relevant issues, I am sorry I am the designated offspring-guardian.
Have fun you all and take care of my wife.
Mr. CF
OKAY guys and girls…I probably can make it…cept I will be by my lonesome 
damnit, my f-buddy isn’t into meeting you all, but I need sleep first…so if I miss the gathering…don’t hold it against me plase…
