Bonus dog pics -Scout thinks she’s Nala. It was cute when she was a puppy. Now, I work to discourage it. And yes, that’s her handiwork on the windowsill, but luckily I’m in the middle of painting.
UPDATE: Okay, just for my sanity, can we please just use this for the meetup. Thanks! And for FSM sake, please don’t feed the troll.
Lots of interest in the meet-up. I’ll post again the night before as a reminder. Here’s what we need today:
You guys to agree on a venue. UPDATE: WYNKOOP has been chosen. Do we have a time?
A volunteer to set-up the restaurant choice – see if we can get a table reserved – I believe Wynkoop may even have areas available for larger groups. I would do it, but I am out of town until the 12th.
Someone to bring the green balloons.
A general head count.
Anything I’m missing? We can get a final head count the night before.
Original Post:
Mnemosyne will be in Denver in July and suggested a meet-up on Tuesday 7/17. It would need to be early evening/evening, as she flies in that afternoon. We’ll need to meet near the Sheraton Denver Downtown, which I believe is right near the 16th Street Mall.
Who is up for a meet-up? We’ll need suggestions for a place to meet near the hotel and a volunteer to coordinate with the location.
I’ll repost this the first week of July with an update of numbers. I’ll be out of town from July 1 to just before the meet-up, so I’ll have limited availability for more than that, but I think as long as someone secures the venue, we should good.
I had hoped that our next meet-up I’d bring Bixby and Scout, but even as friendly as most locations are to dogs on the patio, the 16th Street Mall might be a bit too much for me to wrangle them. We will see how that goes. I would very much like for you guys to meet them sometime.
Hit the comments if you’re going to join us and/or volunteer to help out.

I was going to try to come but my personal finances woh’t allow it plus I have a work commitment that will keep me from flying down there. But y’all have fun!

I’ll set up the reservation with Wynkoop and I can bring balloons. If we can get a rough head count I’ll go by on Tuesday to get a table set up.

I’d like to join y’all, but I’ll be in Sacramento that day.

Dang.
Catching a flight out of DIA on 7/16. Maybe next time (I think I said that last time?)
Have fun, y’all!
Mnemosyne
@thruppence:
Thank you! I checked back in the other thread and I would say to make the reservation for 15 — there are always 1 or 2 lurkers who show up but were too shy to speak up. Besides, I would rather have too many chairs than not enough.

@Yutsano:
?
I’m still hoping to get to Portland at some point in the next year to see my favorite sea otter — when I have a date, I’ll let you know in case that might be workable.

Isn’t 7/17 also the day Billinglendale hits Sacramento?

Spouse and I plan to attend, but I tentatively have jury duty, and won’t know until the night before if I will have to go.

I would like to come, and meet Mnemosyne, and others. If I can do anything to help, let me know. TaMara has my email.

The best I can do is “maybe.” I’m drivinng back from New Mexico that day and I’m not sure if I’ll be back in time.
Garm
I will try to attend.
Charles Snyder
I am a long time lurker who would like to attend.

Thanks everyone. Anyone who just decides they can make it and show up the day of will be welcome! So don’t hesitate. I’ll repost the night before. See you then.

It’s really sad that I will miss another meet up. :(
