I am in favor of such an outing.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I know I have fallen behind in my F2F planning responsibilities. I just checked on our hotel bookings and so far there are only 5 rooms booked - one of which is mine. If you are planning on coming out but haven't booked a room yet, please do so as soon as possible.
I need to talk with the hotel on what our options are for such a small group and what costs we are already liable for.
On the plus side, I discovered that there is an gourmet walking tour the afternoon of the 25th. It is $49/person and sounds fun.

Great dinner with Pix last night. I'm home now. I didn't have a computer with me, and I hate posting on the iphone.

Our wings are not tired.
Suzi, we may need to consider another option for Prom. Maybe a group excursion to someplace awesome. I don't know what the options might be. We will have a car because we are staying for 6 days with the intention of exploring.
This reminds me that I need to ask one of my docs to prescribe me something for altitude sickness. When I last visited Colorado I was in misery for 2-3 days while my sea level body acclimated. Don't want. The pages I have read on the subject say to hydrate, which I knew, limit alcohol, oh well, and eat a higher than usual calorie diet! Woo! I can manage that one.

I'm sorry, but we're not going to make it this year. TCG just doesn't have enough PTO left to do Denver and our honeymoon trip.

Coca leaf tea worked wonderfully for me in Peru. It's of a fuzzy legal status here in the states, but if you can get some I recommend it highly.

Water, water, and more water is what has worked for Kelly during her visits.
I just checked the reservations, and we are down to 4 (plus Nicole and Stephanie, so I guess we are at 6). In addition to no prom, I'm thinking no hospitality room also. A couple of people have donated and at this rate I feel like I should refund that money.
Any advice on how to go forward with this is appreciated.

That was me who cancelled. There's just no way I can get away that weekend.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'm arriving late Thursday night, and I'll be around through Monday, when I'll head down to Colorado Springs to spend a couple days revisiting my old haunts. I fly back out of DIA late Wednesday.
Is anyone interested in taking the tour at the Mint? That's the only thing I'm thinking about doing that requires advance arrangements.
I'm not big on fancy or formal. I'm just hoping to meet and greet and visit with any others who turn up, and do what seems fun and interesting as the whim strikes.

Suzi, as one of the donors I'm more than happy to let you and the folks that do make it to the F2F decide what you want to do with any funds you've received. Just because you may decide against a full-blown prom, doesn't mean you can't use the money to defray costs on a group dinner or something else of a group nature. Have fun! And take lots of pictures so we can see how debauched beautiful you all are.
