No one should have to suck up anything.
Except H-Man who owes me $50.
will someone be kind enough to recommend or promote this diary so it gets some visibility? Thanks.
Instead of one place I’ve never been before, I find we’re headed to another place I’ve never been before.
Is there a rough estimate for how many of us are planning on showing up?
It’s usually 5-15 people. Shy, nerdy, but generally delightful people.
as a bengal tiger on crack.
I’m trying to find the video of the time I wrestled an out of control bengal tiger on Crack to the ground, trussed it up, and returned it to the zoo.
Shy is the last word anyone would describe me as 🙂 can’t wait to meet y’all!
as people who only let the sun touch them once every six months can be.
Thanks for organizing this Aristotle. Looking forward to meeting you.
I’d give him a buck to show up in a french maid costume.
Be specific, MADCO. It matters.
I have one.
I’ve really become picky lately. Unlike my friendships and associations, the beer really matters!
🙂
They only have beer–200 different ones:
http://www.fallingrocktaphouse…
Great selection. Expensive. Often crowded. Slow if crowded. Not a lot of space to stretch out for larger parties. A “must do” for any beer lover, though.
Not in the baseball off-season. People tend to go to the Sports Column across the street during football season.
I will plan on being there.
You’re the only one here I know that I know…
Not sure, though – I’ve got things to do later in the evening.
I was hoping to come, but last minute work in LA is going to be keeping me out here – I’ll be missing it though!
CPols gatherings are a lot of fun! Enjoy everyone!
as one of the conservatives I still hold out hope for…
🙂
Enjoy for now because… not gonna be for long, brother…
There’s better things to fight over (immigrants, gay marriage, Glass Steagall) than the future of the ‘Conservative’ movement
I always your appreciate your kind words – thank you!
I won’t make it to either venue in Denver either, so we’ll have to find some other time and place for you to buy me a drink!
As you said, we’ll have fun! (Even though we are both disappointed that Kathleen Curry won’t be serving Colorado citizens in the legislature this session.)
Will it be the people who are standing quietly staring at their feet? Should I look for pale, overweight people who really need a haircut? Is there a secret handshake? If so, are there online instructions?
Everyone wears one of these.
Seriously. And you want to fit in, right?
We had a big family birthday party in February 2005 or 06 at which everybody was required to fashion an AFDB and wear it throughout the evening. I have photos somewhere to prove it. I think the beanies all got recycled, though, so I’ll have to make a new one.
With our mothers dropping us off.
Way to cheapen it. 🙂
I mean a Western Slope meet up?
Hope to see you there, and sorry can’t attend the get together in Denver.
Actually I’m out there that weekend to visit the inlaws.
I don’t want to hitch up the mule team.
So many similarities between both types of meetings….
🙂
I want to come out to the West Slope and see how the other half lives, but it’s not going to be this time. Too much happening that weekend.
I have been informed by those who know them well
They find relief in quite a clever way
When they’re sorely pressed, they whistle for a spell
And whistling seems to brighten up their day
And that’s what simple folk do
So they say
…And I totally want to buy Ralphie a beer or five
I haven’t drunk five beers in one sitting since high school. Or maybe since I was a field geologist in Pinedale, WY.
Thanks for asking. I’ll post pictures someday.
…but Falling Rock is just as good a joint to drink with you babbling freaks as any other downtown joint.
Maybe Scruffy Murphys would be better suited for this group of blogging ruffians…
Except I get to see it every weekend playing Irish music…
Every weekend? That’s a lot of driving. Are you going on Saturday? (To either place.)
I’ll be at Scruffy’s, too, but that’s Sunday.
I’ve been a lurker here for awhile but would be interested to meet many of you if I can get off work in time.
i.e., no outing of people you’ll meet on the blog. We mostly trust each other based on being here for years, but I’m not sure about someone who just registered today. Nothing personal.
I would say that if you’re that worried about being outed, you shouldn’t come. This is a public forum where lots of people can see it. The fact that someone would take the time and effort to create a new account and post a polite question leads me to believe that he is not who you should be worried about. It’s the random people who show up, creepily walk around and eavesdrop on people’s conversations, and then disappear into the creepy ether from whence they came that you should be wary of.
Seriously though, the situation you’re describing has, as far as I know, only happened once. Usually the lurkers I’ve met at these are cool.
You’re right that people have to follow the rules. If people come to these things with the intent of finding out who Polsters are IRL and outing them, then they will probably not happen anymore. That would be a shame.
So if everyone is just cool and not lame, things will be great.
Ain’t it always the way.
I was looking forward to meeting you. But what I want to know is…were your ears burning?
who was prairie dogging it from behind the wall over there…
‘Cause H-Man was looking all over for you with a $50 bill. He was inconsolable that he couldn’t make things right with you.
Ok, maybe not. But much thanks to Aristotle for organizing this meeet up.
Enjoyed seeing/meeting Voyager, Jason Salzman, EmeraldKnight76, sxp151, Canines, jpsandsci, Redstateblues, PERAhopeful, ColoradoDem Di, SSG_Dan, Mr. Toodles, and more (sorry I can’t recall everyone that was there).
DaftPunk, DonQ, and the guy from Colorado Independent whom I didn’t talk to because he wasn’t one of us. I think that’s everybody who was there when I was, anyway. Great fun; thanks for doing the heavy lifting, Ari!
You were the guy sitting quietly in the corner wearing an ill-fitting black cashmere coat and a gorilla mask, sipping beer through a straw, right?
it was less than good.
I figured you would combine the bill and then leave it for the taxpayer.
Unfortunately I am not going to be able to make it. Sometimes that work thing seems to get in the way.
My company should give me some kind of award for working instead of quaffing a cold one with fellow bloggers.
or do we have a specific room set aside? How will I know where the group is meeting?
Most importantly: Is there someone who will hold my hand when I get overwhelmed?
I KNEW I was right about you!
🙂
doing some traveling so will depend on when the snow moves into the mountains.
Got too tied up in tidying up.
I could’ve left, but spaced it until 4:30.
Hope you guys had fun!
Sorry you couldn’t make it this time.
Sorry I had to blaze early. My wife was going to the Nuggets game with some friends and she had to meet them at 6PM.
I really hope we do this again in the not too distant future. I only got to really talk to a couple of you all and there were so many others I wish I had gotten more of a chance to meet.
See you on Pols in any case!
It was really interesting putting faces to names. It was a fun evening of great conversations. Very glad I made the effort to join the party.
When I took off at 7:00 it was still pretty lively down at the Falling Rock.
Big ups to Aristotle for setting everything up.
Thank you to Aristotle for getting this going. Thanks for not throwing me out, everyone.
thanks to Aristotle. And good meeting you too tonight!
You’re making me blush…
And sorry to the person whose cashmere coat I stole. But it was cold!
We had a lively discussion about teacher tenure, with the part of DavidThi808 ably portrayed by DaftPunk.
And I haven’t heard this much discussion about the sexiness of my penis since the last time I left the basement.
And great to meet everyone. Thanks to Ari for setting it up.
If anyone actually did accidentally grab my black cashmere coat, I’m offering a reward for its return. SXP doesn’t have it, I already TSA frisked him/her.
A new-style frisk might have found it…
I knew there was a reason I didn’t recognize your user name, Herr Professor Doktor Twoposts.
It was a blast.
Sorry to have missed those of you who could not make it.
to you for putting it together, and everyone who came.
A good time was had by me, and hopefully all.
A fabulous time!
I’m sorry I scheduled some family event for that evening, or else I would’ve stay much, much later.
