Series9 and I are going to be headed to Ferg's house on Monday to pick up my car. We were thinking of maybe extending the trip by a day, instead of turning around and heading straight home on Tuesday. Would anyone be up for a CO contingent dinner somewhere on Tuesday night?

Posted by: Ferg Oct 6 2006, 04:03 PM

Sounds like a good idea

Tuesday? I think we could do that. Closer to Boulder the better... In Boulder would be best for us (Mom and the little-bug included), but y'all do what work best....

edit. Okay, I guess anywhere _near_ Boulder would be great...

Sounds good to me! Denver would be a good central location for Denver metro folks I guess but I know a haul for you Josh... we should also try to coordinate to meet up with Seanery if possible.

Posted by: jhadler Oct 6 2006, 04:22 PM

Well Ferg lives in Erie right?... How about somewhere in the Broomfield/Westminster area?

-Josh2

Posted by: SharonG Oct 6 2006, 04:26 PM

Actually off 104th and Hwy 36 may not be too bad for Trojanman and the guys who live south (not including Colo Spgs, of course - sorry guys).

Posted by: LuckieO Oct 6 2006, 04:29 PM

You guys know the area much better than I do. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good meeting place, as far as where to eat and maybe a little ?

Posted by: TROJANMAN Oct 6 2006, 04:31 PM

LoDo is best, and most central
Especially if anyone is driving up from the springs

Posted by: jhadler Oct 6 2006, 04:34 PM

How 'bout the RockBottom Brewery in Wastemaster er... Westminster?...

Easy to get to for the springs folks too... Come up 470 instead of 25, avoid the nastiness, and the take a nice twisty road into Westminster from 93...

-Josh2

Posted by: Ferg Oct 6 2006, 04:34 PM

Most central to you maybe

I like the Sharon's Idea. Josh has already committed and he's gotta haul in from Lyons

Ferg.

Posted by: LuckieO Oct 6 2006, 04:36 PM

Where is that in relation to everyone who may be coming?

Posted by: SharonG Oct 6 2006, 04:42 PM

I think it's about equidistant from Josh and Trojanman, probably a little closer to Greg.

Posted by: LuckieO Oct 6 2006, 04:50 PM

Sounds reasonable to me...any objections? Kid friendly place for those who may be bringing the little ones?

I am off to work...hasta manana...

Posted by: jhadler Oct 6 2006, 05:04 PM

Hmm... They've got a side room that we might reserve if there's enough of us. Don't know how many we'd need, but I think we're close. I've had club meetings there before, worked out okay. Our little one isn't walking yet, but it's an any day now kind of thing...

Let's talk time... When?

-Josh2

Posted by: LuckieO Oct 7 2006, 03:37 AM

The time for dinner depends on you guys. Joe and I are obviously not working that day so, when would be a good time for you all? And, who is in?

Posted by: majkos Oct 7 2006, 04:25 AM

Just got home from work,and find this cool idea!

Keep posting, I shoud be able to swing by,maybe in MY 914!
I don't care for downtown,but Rockbottem in West. sounds neat.

Posted by: Gint Oct 7 2006, 10:03 AM

I would love to mkae it, but I'n been working 10-15 hours days trying to get a project ready for production. It's day by day...

Posted by: SharonG Oct 7 2006, 10:21 PM

How about 6:30? I have parent/teacher conferences earlier. Regardless, though, I'll make whatever time work.

Btw - did someone put this on the CO 914 yahoo list? I think there are several guys who check that more than this forum. Mike is up to his eyeballs with work stuff so one of you guys do it please...

Posted by: Moron Sean Oct 7 2006, 10:53 PM

I'd be up for it...think I've gotta cancel my Ouray trip due to rain on Monday.

I'm in Aurora around 225 & Illif...am I close to any of the proposed places?

Posted by: Gint Oct 8 2006, 12:20 AM

24 miles. You're a few highways away...

225 N to I70 E to I270 N to 36 W.

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=I-225+%26+Iliff+Ave,+Aurora,+CO+80014+(Nott%27s+Travel+%26+Cruises)+%4039.674805,-104.828337&daddr=10633+Westminster+Blvd.+Westminster,+CO+80020&f=li&hl=en&dq=I225+and+Iliff&cid=37062500,-95677068,16828031631494611327&ie=UTF8&z=11&om=1

If you're going to make it I might have to fid a way to get there myself.

Posted by: Moron Sean Oct 8 2006, 12:59 AM

I'm gonna try!

I was out at a Walmart off 270 today....about 5-7 minutes north of I-70. There was a Carl's JR, Wendy's, Walgreen's and some other stuff there, is that close?

Posted by: Gint Oct 8 2006, 10:02 AM

Nope. Look at the map.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Oct 8 2006, 05:01 PM

no, it's about 40 minutes from you + traffic, but your down the hwy from me. Got time for a beer after work? Are you at the Double Tree?


sharon,
i can't do 6:30. it's too far north for me to get there on time. Christine works Tuesday, and once i get the kids to the babysitters after work, and get through traffic............ i may have to sit this one out.

Posted by: SharonG Oct 8 2006, 08:04 PM

Actually, after I suggested 6:30 I realized later would be better for you guys - less rush hour, so Sean should be able to get there in less than 30 minutes. Suggest a time Greg... later also makes it more likely Mike can come, too!

Posted by: jhadler Oct 8 2006, 10:13 PM

Actually, earlier wouldbe better for us, we'll have the little one with us, and an hour drive home. 6:00 or so would work best.

Had a thought (I know, I know... I won't make a habit of it...), We'll get there early, get the table, and folks can arrive as they can.

I'll call the restaurant tomorrow to see about getting a reservation...

-Josh2

Posted by: Moron Sean Oct 8 2006, 11:02 PM

I'm off Monday and Tuesday...you working monday?
We're at the Extended Stay Deluxe...behind Joe's Crab Shack.

Since the weather scared me from the drive to Ouray I'll be around here most of the time...gotta do a couple things but probably not too much.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Oct 9 2006, 09:25 AM

Sean,
Give me a call. i can get off early today. i'll come get ya if you don't have a car.
303-five, nine, six, five, six, five six

Posted by: RonD Oct 9 2006, 09:41 AM

I can make Tuesday night. Westmister is good for me. 6:30 is probably a better time for the southern traffic folks.

Josh maybe the little one will fall fast asleep on the way home. I used to be able to count on that with mine.


Ron D

Posted by: TROJANMAN Oct 9 2006, 09:48 AM

hmmmm........later means mike might come?

5:00 it is





I may not be able to make it anyway, so pick a time that works for josh, and i will try and show up

Posted by: SharonG Oct 9 2006, 10:31 AM

6:30 is better for me, too - 6pm is really pushing it.

I'll be there with 2 of my teenaged kids.

Sean, I hope you can make it! Btw, when do you head out of Denver?

Posted by: Moron Sean Oct 9 2006, 12:36 PM

Sharon, we're here until next Monday morning.

We're off until Wednesday evening....next show is 7:30pm Wed, then 1 on Thursday, 2 on Friday, 3 on Sat and 3 on Sunday...the weekends kinda suck for us

Posted by: jhadler Oct 9 2006, 04:30 PM

I'm waiting for a call back from the brewery about a reservation. I'm taking a guess and saying around 12?? Maybe with room to expand a little...

Is that a fair guess?

-Josh2

Posted by: BMartin914 Oct 9 2006, 04:59 PM

+2

Posted by: jsteele22 Oct 9 2006, 05:50 PM

Wish I could come, but traffic from the Spraings would suck. Any chance of making it just a little later ?, Like say Friday ?

Posted by: SharonG Oct 9 2006, 07:48 PM

O'Briens - 2
Fergs - 3?
Josh fam - 3
Ron - 1?
Ben - 2
Gints - 4
Trojanman - 1 maybe
Sean - 1 (edited by Sean )
Kevin - 1 maybe

Posted by: Mountain914 Oct 9 2006, 08:43 PM

Sorry - no can do. Have one for me !

Posted by: jhadler Oct 9 2006, 09:13 PM

Okay,

We're on. I have a room reserved (the beer garden), for 20. Under the name "914club".

See you all there. We'll be getting there a little early I guess... But we'll se y'all there!

-Josh2

Posted by: BMartin914 Oct 9 2006, 10:32 PM

So...

What time? and where exactly? Can you please post an address?

Posted by: LuckieO Oct 9 2006, 10:39 PM

Joe and I arrived at Ferg's around 7:30. We had some dinner (thanks guys!) and a few beers. Ferg and Christine have to work tomorrow, so Joe and I are headed to Fort Collins to New Belgium Brewery for lunch and then back to town for dinner with you guys. We look forward to seeing you all!

I saw my car for the first time (in person) tonight and am very excited about getting her on the road!

Posted by: brant Oct 9 2006, 10:40 PM

congrats lucky!

Posted by: Gint Oct 9 2006, 11:36 PM

Another 16 hour day today...

I might make it tomorrow. Critical project tasks are done, tomorrow will tell...

Posted by: jhadler Oct 10 2006, 12:13 AM

Rockbottom Brewery
10633 Westminster Blvd, Westminster.

http://tinyurl.com/hprec

See you all there I hope! We'll be getting there a little after 6:00...

-Josh2

Posted by: Moron Sean Oct 10 2006, 12:39 AM

You better make it!

Posted by: Gint Oct 10 2006, 05:52 AM

I sure hope too. Just checked work email. Customer (in U.K.) is bitchin at management already. This is gonna be fun!

Posted by: SharonG Oct 10 2006, 08:02 AM

I'll be there with my kids around 6:30.

Posted by: Ferg Oct 10 2006, 08:24 AM

Luckie, Joe and my Family will be there

Ferg

Posted by: Ferg Oct 10 2006, 12:32 PM

Just got a call from Joe and LuckieO, they are on the road back to NM... Joe's boss called him back early, and they can't make dinner tonight.
Bummer.
I'll see the rest of you guys there.

Ferg

Posted by: SharonG Oct 10 2006, 01:51 PM

Bummer about Luckie and Joe - you still owe me a ride in your new teener Luckie!

Sean, I guess you're the star of the show tonight!

Posted by: TROJANMAN Oct 10 2006, 02:25 PM

then lets take the party to Sean
in Aurora

Posted by: SharonG Oct 10 2006, 02:31 PM

Geesh, Greg... you want to dis poor Josh? Where's the love?!

Posted by: TROJANMAN Oct 10 2006, 02:34 PM

it was a joke
besides, i can't make it anyway

i was just thinking...why make the guest of honor drive so far for his own party.....

Let's just not tell Sean he was the "alternate"

And Aurora is WAAAYYYYY More fun than Westminster

Posted by: jhadler Oct 10 2006, 02:58 PM

How would that be? There's a Dave & Busters in both places...

-Josh2

Posted by: TROJANMAN Oct 10 2006, 03:04 PM

There's a Dave and Busters in Saudi Aurora?
I had no idea. Then again, i don't cross into hostile territory too often
I just like the fact that Morton's is a nice summer's walk away from my house

Posted by: Ferg Oct 10 2006, 03:19 PM

Just to clear stuff up, we are still on for Rockbottom at 6ish right?

Ferg

Posted by: SharonG Oct 10 2006, 03:24 PM

Did Sean actually ever say he was coming for sure? Does anyone know his phone number? I seem to recall he's sharing a vehicle with co-workers... and unless the location changes I'll see you 6:30ish - I have to drive from work in Boulder home to Thornton to take my kids to parent/teacher conferences then back to Westminster. This will obviously make me very thirsty.

Posted by: jhadler Oct 10 2006, 03:44 PM

We're still planning on being there...

-Josh2

Posted by: Gint Oct 10 2006, 05:33 PM

What better way to see the sights!?!?!

Sean'll be allright.

I'll be there around 6-ish.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Oct 10 2006, 09:07 PM

Good seeing all you guys
Nobody took a camera..............oh well. it was just burgers and beer

good times

Posted by: BMartin914 Oct 10 2006, 09:51 PM

And fish and chips made with...smoked salmon.

Posted by: Moron Sean Oct 10 2006, 10:57 PM

It was nice to meet all of you Colorado folk. Dinner was nice. It's nice to put more faces & names together

Posted by: Series9 Oct 11 2006, 01:08 AM

Sorry we couldn't make it, but where are the pictures?

Posted by: Gint Oct 11 2006, 06:19 AM

You obvioulsy didn't see the comment.

We're just glad you guys made it back to N.M. OK with the new teener. Although I did want to take that car for a quick road test. Damn shame you had to run off...

Posted by: Mountain914 Oct 11 2006, 06:39 AM

Sorry I missed it --- and *really* sorry I missed out on those Broncos tickets !
