Front range meetup?
I'll be in Denver from 4-7 to 4-19 and would love to get together.
After the 10th is best, because the AWP convention will be over by then. I also plan to make a few day trips to Boulder and Colorado Springs, but am playing that by ear.

I believe there was discussion about having a meetup to welcome no bueno to our fair city. This would provide a doubly good excuse to get together.
Vine Street Pub would be good. I've been wanting to check out Lost Lake Lounge (new, e. colfax, might be full of hipsters). I know that lfr always advocates for our bus riding brethren (and sistren) so a return to Falling Rock downtown might be easiest).

Well, as far as bus-riding folks, I have a feeling that if we timed it right it'd actually be easier to meet east-side. At least it always was for me when I've been coming from the North. The DD bus from Boulder drops off at Colorado + Colfax. But I don't know... we should think about nailing a route, though. That's a good point.
If anybody's coming from up there: what works best? Maybe Falling Rock would indeed be preferable, eh?

Fridays seem to be quite popular, and they mean that our week-averse and weekend-averse people can meet halfway easily.
So: let's do this! If brujita's in town from April 7 through April 19, we have two Fridays to work with: the 9th and the 16th. Since brujita says after the 10th is best, how about Friday, April 16th at Falling Rock Taphouse? Would that work well for everybody?

What an onslaught of meetups. 16th should be ok for me. (Although I can sense a work trip coming along some time in April which is typically most deliberately timed to kybosh any meetup plans.)
I'm easy re. venue but I do remember LFR finding E Colfax a stretch and I kind of miss the Falling Rock.

full disclosure: the mister and I are headed out to LA to hang out with his grandparents for Passover (his grandma makes some mean latkes!) and 4/27-5/5 I'm going to be off getting my ass beat at a bike race in New Mexico, so it seems I may actually be in town for this one.
Especially if it's at the Falling Rock, I mean, I can just stumble there from the bus station :) I will see if I can persuade the elusive mr. lfr to come as well, since he apparently had fun at the SoSun making geeky engineer-talk with the clan. He's still kind of a "Reddit guy", but I've noticed that his ratio of Reddit:Metafilter has begun to swing more towards the blue lately :)
Thanks for pinging The List, fieldtrip. I will be sad if you can't make it, but let's just call it a good excuse to make another meetup sooner than later, eh? We Front Rangers have really not had our fair share over the past six months or so.

UPDATE: oh good, I just thought to check the Rockies' schedule and they will be AWAY on Friday! Thank goodness! We came downtown for the symphony this past Friday and wound up awash in a sea of drunken Opening Day fans :P
as an aside, if you ever need to struggle across downtown in heavy traffic on a weekend evening, I HIGHLY recommend availing yourself of the pedicab / rickshaw service. You'll see 'em all around the 16th Street Mall and the transit hubs. Cheap ($2 a block with a couple bucks tip) and many of the pedicabbers are bike geek friends of mine from the Denver Cruise. Much faster and cheaper within central downtown / LODO than a taxicab.

OK then, I'll probably be wearing a black motorcycle jacket (complemented by helmet hair, brown, shoulder-length, with squashed bangs) and carrying a red backpack. Unless it rains, in which case I don't know what I'll wear, except that I'll be wet. Maybe a blue cardigan sweater, how about.

I had a fab time meeting you folks, and I gained more fodder for my theory that a Westmalle Tripel = automatic (yet tasty) end to the evening...

Bummed I missed this. One of these days I'll manage to make it to one of these. Luckily they seem to be picking up in frequency.
If any of you locals reside on the south end of town I'd love to get a small meetup together.

Looks like you all had a great time. And that cake picture came out wonderfully!
I could do south some time, Octoparrot. I'm close to DU / Wash Park so somewhat equidistant between downtown and south Denver. Light rail handy is always good.

Yeah, what everyone else said. I would also like to note that Em Cee Bearclaw is very photogenic, and thanks to -t for the piccies.
Special to Nails and Octoparrot: I'm in West Wash Park, and being a brand new transplant I'm always ready to explore, even all the way to Centennial.

I'm in. Who else is up for it? Where should we go? We could try a different place this time, if people like - I've been meaning to get back to Vine Street Pub, which is Mountain Sun's Denver location just around the corner from PS Lounge. The old standbys are always good, too.
