|
I want to organize it - I just need to know how many of you DU'ers are coming to Denver (I'll X-post this in GD) PM me if you want to help w/ organization. DU'ers who are willing to come down to Denver and have a meetup, please post here.

3. It's after school's back in. |
|
Otherwise I'd look at driving out, since I hate flying.

Maybe you could organize through the DU people in each state to carpool and cost share.Book hotel rooms in blocks to get cheaper rates. Organize carpools, maybe even get plane seats in blocks.. Not all of us can afford to go to Denver by ourself.
I like to go but I know I can't get there on my own and for me it's out of reach expensive.
But for others maybe doing some of the stuff mentioned above could help.

7. I'm in Denver. Work on the 16th Street Mall above Marlowe's. |
|
Live in Conifer -- have a couple spare bedrooms -- can sleep 7 inside -- plus acreage for tents in mountains. Eh?
Maybe a DU meet-up at the Paramount Cafe?

10. I live in LoDo (well actually the Golden Triangle) |
|
And am working on having a rental unit available near Civic Center Park, if vacated prior to the Convention.
I love DU meetups, the last one I went to was a hoot! :bounce:

13. IxNay on the rental unit for now. |
|
Right now the earliest I could get it vacated is the end of August. :-(
But I will keep trying, plus willing to help in whatever way with the meetup.

11. I may be able to make it? |
|
I am a wage slave. I work for a living. So a lot depends on employer demands.
