Yes, I was quite surprised myself.

If Silj gets beer for convincing me to make the trip, what do I get? If you're looking for ideas, I'm pretty sure I wrote "trashy women" down on my Christmas list this year ... mostly because that's what I always write ....

Arrangements can be made... C'mon Guido, return to Denver.

Silj, as I have offered in the past, I have a guest bedroom that you are welcome to use (with associated computer, Playstation, DVD, and hot tub access).

Also, I live about 2 miles from the Park and Ride - you can catch the Airport bus from there. Let me know if you are interested or need bus times both to and from the airport (my only caution is that the last bus from the airport is around 11:20 pm - I think).

Daniel

Thanks Daniel! With the price of a roundtrip ticket and your gracious offer I'm in. Perhaps I can bunk with others or in a hotel for part of the time so I won't be imposing on you too much. I may rent a car as well but it's good to know that a bus is an option. So I was thinking of flying in on the 18th and leaving on the 22nd so I at least have Sunday to recover from the alcohol I'll be drinking on Sat before going on a flight. Is there some good hiking in the area? I'll definitely be bringing my digital camera.

Edit: "Trashy women"?!? Umm, Guido can have the beer. I'll take the ladies in the fishnet stockings.

MHS · Post by **MHS** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:26 pm

Damn, the pressure is on. We have to actually live up to our reputations of being fun people now, if Silj is flying in just for this.

TOO LATE! You bit for a beer and free sleeping arrangements. Guido held out for more, and his gambit looks to be paying off. If we can get LordMortis for anything less than a fully-funded night in Silver City, then I'll consider this thread a success!

LOL! Well, it's been a long time since I've been to Colorado. I can use the quick getaway and I'm pretty self-sufficient when it comes to fun so no pressure. I can always start a riot for my own amusement in LoDo or DoDo or whatever that place is that Eduardo X hates so much.

(You think you have pressure? What if y'all don't like me and leave me out in the mountains to die?

)

Edit: Damn you Guido! Well use a condom and send her my way when you're done. I'll save you a bottle of beer.

Should I dangle some anime titles in front of you to get you to come Guido? (What a nerd I am. But if you do come don't forget to bring the Noir series with you)

TEASE!!!

Silj, don't sweat it. I have plenty of room - and, since it's just me (my dog doesn't get a vote) - no one else to get approval from. Also, I'm taking the week of Thanksgiving off (I'm flying down to New Orleans on Tuesday) so I can probably even give you a ride to the airport on Monday.

A one-way ticket on the SkyRide bus from the Airport to the Broomfield Park-and-Ride is $10. Though, if you are planning on visiting for that long, you will most likely want a car so that you be a little more mobile. Also, I could definitely be persuaded to do some hiking.

I wonder if Vespa Denver rents ET4's...? I can always pack light.

Anyone else picturing the scene from Dumb and Dumber?

I'm thinking that you might want to make sure to include a couple pairs of gloves/mittens and a good hat and scarf if that's the way you go...

Hee, hee. I've ridden in the cold before so I'd be wearing many, many, many layers since it's probably 20 degrees or something like that in Colorado...

(must rent Dumb and Dumber. Or wait till TNT shows it)

I don't get fishnet stockings. What's so great about them? I'd rather see the legs sans stockings.

WOOOHOOOO!!! I will be there without a doubt (well unless work throws something odd my way). Any day is good for me, even Friday's since I get off of work around 2.

It's a 1.5 hour drive for me unless traffic sucks too bad. If this is going to be a big drinking, late night shin dig I think I will be getting a hotel in the area. I need at least 3 beers to get over the shyness, so it better be a big drinking late night shin dig.

Lee, you're more than welcome to stay with us instead of shelling out for a hotel. We can put the kiddo in our room or on the futon (or, most likely, have her spend the night with a friend) and you can sleep in her room, provided you don't mind having 5 million stuffed animals staring at you in your sleep.

No worries. There's a bit of a shyness factor too. But the western GGers seem to be decent folk...or all that talk of eating you for your powers isn't a joke at all!

Oh well, after alot of beer I probably won't care one way or the other...

Thanks MHS, you are too kind. I can't accept your offer though, once I make a raging fool out of myself I would rather wake up in a place where no one knows me.

Thank you though!

I'm not touching this with a ten-foot pole. I don't think anyone really wants to, for that matter.

Wait, chocolate chip pancakes? Chocolate chip pancakes?! Why wasn't I told of this? Chris Grenard is going to pay! Grenard is going to pay!

Can I visit too?

KingB · Post by **KingB** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 1:41 am

This all sounds like fun and I would love to finally meet some GGer's face to face. But it looks like a 6 or 7 hour drive from here in Utah. I dont know if I would be able to do that.

How about everyone make a sacrifice for the guy they barely know and we all meet in little ol' Craig, CO.

Thats only two hours from me.

Ticket has been purchased. I figure it was better to get it now rather than tomorrow when the country is in anarchy and the price would probably be $1000 round trip as people try to flee the DC area due to the chaos and looting...
