colorado meet?? try again??

[mdwyer]

i have no problem with breck, the boss man would have quite of a drive from pueblo though... and mdwyer would have about 2.5 hours from black forest...

Other way around, actually. I'm just north of Denver. I might be the most central of all of us, which makes my preferences not count for much. MSHardeman and Moncha are the ones I'm most concerned about, since I think they're at the extremes. I can't remember where crager34 is located. I guess Greeley is pretty close to Nebraska, too, though. [Edit: Crager is in Utah! I take back everything I said about extremes!]

Damn, these western state are big!!

Anyway, I'm pro-lunch, anti-skiing (or at least, I haven't done it in years, and lack ALL the equipment.), and I like the I-70 corridor. Vail is about as far West as I think I'll go. If you wanted to go skiing, I would still try to make it out there, if only for the fun drive. Besides, the ski areas are pretty conveniently in the middle of the state...

ya, greeley is about 20 miles south of wyoming right next to fort collins

crager34 is coming from moab so he has the farthest...about 5 hours if i estimate correctly...

moncha has probably 3 hours if i estimate right...

but, all in all it sounds like everyone is up for some 'dork vx chat' and lunch type of thing...

now we just have to figure out where to eat,

my vote is silverthorne, frisco area (breck, keystone)

[MSHardeman]

I'd be willing to head all the way into Denver if that is what everyone wants to do. I guess we'll wait to hear from Moncha and crager34 to see what they would rather do. If we are going to meet along the I-70 corridor I would definitely put my vote in for Frisco/Breck because they're just prettier places than Silverthorne.

Hope everyone can make it.

[Moncha]

We're pretty sure the 15th will work and I don;t care how far we have to go. Just name it and we'll be there. You guys know the area best.

[pbkid]

great!

well, my girlfriend is flying out of DIA sometime in the morning on the 15th, so i will let you guys know by tonight what time i can make it to frisco/breck...(my guess is around 12-1pm, as long as her flight is in the morning which i believe it is)

[MSHardeman]

LET'S DO THIS!!

Jack, let us know when you can make it, but it seems like Breck might be the best meeting place for us. I don't know Breck that well, but it's a small town and I have VXdar (I just seem to FEEL them when they're around) so it shouldn't be too tough to find each other. I can do some research on a restaurant to meet at, unless someone has better knowledge of Breck.

Well, if Scott and Laura are coming that means I'm going to have to spend all of Saturday cleaning Vicki so she doesn't look shabby next to Moncha.

Are there any other Denver area VXers that we can get a hold of? I would bug biju, but I doubt that he would come because it might kick off his habit again.

if it brought bij back lets do it!!!

anyhow, i dont know breck all that well but i have a good friend that grew up in breck and might be able to give us some good suggestions...

so, i might have bad news, i requested a bunch of time off work like almost a month ago for this weekend (to meet up with you guys and have a couple of days of actual break), and for the week because im taking a class from 9-6 for 6 days straight (during spring break)...and they accidentally scheduled me for saturday and sunday, so i raised hell with my manager saying that i had my request in before anyone else and he always says its first come first serve...

so he's looking at some stuff to maybe close the install bay for sunday so i can get all my stuff done (drive the girlfriend to the airport and meet up with my VX fam)

but no guarantee's yet...im gonna be really pissed if they give time off to the other installer when i requested it first...ill let you guys know by tonight..
