Saturday Night in DENVER???!!!!

[Frazod]

:eek:

That's right, I'll be in the belly of the beast this weekend. The wife and I will be spending the night in *erk* DENVER :grr: Saturday before heading on to Grand Junction on Sunday. Assuming we don't get in too late, I wonder if any of the BB Denver guys would like to get together somewhere.

Assuming all goes well, I hope to hit the Pile High Shitty around 7:00 p.m. Don't know where we're staying yet, but I figure we'll grab a room at a Super 8-type motel in the downtown area off I-70 (any recommendations would be welcome). Anyway, if anyone would like to hook up for dinner/drinks someplace, let me know.

Obviously any travel-related delays could screw this up, and regardless it won't be a late night for Frazod after being in the car all day - the plan is to drive as far as Des Moines Friday night and head for Denver Saturday morning).

Anyway, if any of you guys have Saturday night open, I invite you to share a beer/scotch with a pilgrim in an unholy land. :D

[KCChiefsMan]

nice to visit...wouldn't want to live there though

Stay away from Budget Inns :D

Uh oh. Spare us the pics, boys.

What is the name of that big Mexican resaraunt that is painted pink on the outside and has the waterfall and shows inside? Casa something or another isn't? That is a fun place to eat, and if I recall, it is all you can eat. Any of you Denver blokes know the place I am talking about?

[Frazod]

Stay away from Budget Inns :D

Yeah, that might as well be tatooed backwards on my forehead after that night in St. Joe.

:Lin:

[Raiderhater]

Casa Bonita maybe?

Casa de Mayo.

Don't let the pink exterior fool you, this is very cool.

[Raiderhater]

That's it.

I knew it would come to me eventually.

I've grown fond of Holiday Inn Express, and stayed in the Brighton location back in Feb. It was nice:
http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/1/en/hd/hrsco?irs=null

Plus you then have the great line "no but I did stay..."

Seriously, it was a nice joint for the $$, and had a nice free breakfast bar.

Casa Bonita! Casa Bonita! Food and fun in a festive atmosphre, Casa Bonita!

[Jenson71]

Have you stayed in a Hilton? Those are nice. Guess what? When I went to Paris, we walked by a Hilton. And so I took a picture of the Hilton, Paris. It was soo cool.

Damn, I should have checked out the nightlife! ROFL

I've had my 1 trip to Dungver don't care to ever go back as I want that one trip to forever be my only memory of that place......Montana to Davis game over.

Well no, I wouldn't go back to Denver just to eat there, it isn't that great. But if you are in town, it's a fun place to have a meal.

I feel no need to contribute to the Paris Silver Spoon Fund. :grr:

[Pezman]

Go see Cheesman Park or East Colfax ;D

Actually, that looks like a perfect location for me, since I'll be coming in on I-76. I think I'll go ahead a book a room. Thanks! :thumb:

[Iowanian]

Somehow, I knew DC would be here, offering to push up a stool for you.


If you leave town without taking a dump at Pile High....may you have a sex dream about John Elway.

[Frazod]

Go see Cheesman Park or East Colfax ;D

I'd actually like to go piss on Invesco. Is it possible to actually walk up to the stadium?

:evil:

I had the same dream the last time I was in Denver. Sadly that dream was not realized.

ROFL what do you know about Cheeseman?

[JOhn]

Swing through Wyoming and I'll join ya. ROFL

Unfortunately, that's just a bit out of the way....

[CosmicPal]

:evil:

Yes. Hell, you can nearly drive right by the stadium and spit on it- it's that close to the highway.

I may be going camping this weekend Fraz, but if I don't, I'd be happy to hook up with you and down a few. Keep in touch as the weekend draws closer....

[JOhn]

Unfortunately, that's just a bit out of the way....
Not according to the wife. ROFL

She forgot the turn on I-80 and went to Denver instead of Cheyenne, then insisted it was no big deal. :shake:

[Rain Man]

Hmm, at the moment I'm committed to a social dinner with another couple on Saturday night. It's not confirmed yet, though, so if you're interested in meeting up I can see if I can move it.

That would be great - the only problem would be if you alter your plans and then something happens so that I don't make it in until late (always a risk with long drives). I'm generally extremely punctual - but can't control things like road construction, crappy weather or the odd 20 car pileup.

Also, I'll be heading back the same way on the following Friday - we could always hook up for lunch then.

Either way it's your call.

Actually, if it works for you, lunch the following Friday would work better for me. I could also give you the quick tour of downtown if you like.

That sounds like a plan. We should PM our cellphone numbers to each other. Then we can talk on Thursday and work out the details then.

Open invitation. We can meet at the Hard Rock Cafe or something.

[Coach]

Fraz,

I'm assuming that you are taking I-70 from Illinois? Or are you taking I-80?

[Frazod]

Open invitation. We can meet at the Hard Rock Cafe or something.

absolutely

[Frazod]

Fraz,

I'm assuming that you are taking I-70 from Illinois? Or are you taking I-80?

Taking 88 to 80 to 76 to 70.

It's a lot more direct than it sounds. :D

[Coach]

Taking 88 to 80 to 76 to 70.

It's a lot more direct than it sounds. :D

Heh, so it sounds like you'll be going through Kansas before going to Colorado. Are you staying the night in Kansas or however far you get?

[stevieray]

Heh, so it sounds like you'll be going through Kansas before going to Colorado. Are you staying the night in Kansas or however far you get?
80 to 76 sounds like Nebraska...

[DenverChief]

Open invitation. We can meet at the Hard Rock Cafe or something.

Are we talkin about friday the 13th?

[Coach]

80 to 76 sounds like Nebraska...

Eh, never mind Fraz. I mis-read that wrong. Thanks for correcting me here stevieray. Damned headache that I have.

[Frazod]

Heh, so it sounds like you'll be going through Kansas before going to Colorado. Are you staying the night in Kansas or however far you get?

Stevie Ray called it - going the Iowa-Nebraska-Colorado route. No Kansas, thank God.

Nebraska sucks, but not nearly as bad as Kansas.

The first night I'm staying in Des Moines.

[Rain Man]

Are we talkin about friday the 13th?


Yep. The 13th.

[Frazod]

Yep. The 13th.

Can't think of a better day for you guys to meet me. :evil:

[stevieray]

Eh, never mind Fraz. I mis-read that wrong. Thanks for correcting me here stevieray. Damned headache that I have.

no problem..., I rode a motorcycle that way once...

[Frazod]

It's almost a straight shot from Chicago. Going the Kansas-Missouri route would cost me several hours and hundreds of miles.

[DenverChief]

[stevieray]

you are right about it not being as bad as Kansas.

driving across that just sucks... :mad:

on a lighter note, way cool to drive the RED Stang through pile high shitty( had to use that...classic)

[Coach]

Well driving through Iowa's interstates does suck though, going 65 on that.

[Iowanian]

Its going up to 70 July 1st........however Fines are doubling.

We're renting a car with more room for this trip. No Mustang. :(

[stevieray]

at least you aren't putting the miles on that sweet ride...still, it would've been fun...KC magnets....

[Frazod]

Its going up to 70 July 1st........however Fines are doubling.

I generally drive about 10 over and (knock on wood) haven't gotten a ticket on the interstate in several years. I also have a radar detector.

And since I'll be in a rental instead of my ticket-magnet red Mustang, I hopefully won't have any problems.

[Frazod]

at least you aren't putting the miles on that sweet ride...still, it would've been fun...KC magnets....

I'll definitely drive it down for the banquet, though! :thumb:

[stevieray]

awesome...Can I get a pic with it in costume?

Oh hell yes!

Oh hell yes!

COOL!

[alanm]

:evil:
Certainly. :)

[chagrin]

I used to live in Colorado Springs, and they have these designated BRONCOS FANS ONLY bars. I would always walk in there with my CHIEFS gear to watch the games...ahh the memories. Nice place to live too, except for the BRONCOS bit.

[Saulbadguy]

Go to Boulder and smack around those stupid college students on the street playing their crappy music.

[Coach]

That's what my girlfriend told me that (Her father is a local police officer in Iowa) the Interstates are going up to 70.

She didn't mention (since she didn't know) anything about U.S. Highways or State roads. Are they going up as well?

[Kclee]

There's a great restaurant in Denver that specializes in burgers. They sell fries and shakes and you can order a smaller type meal if you have kids. Also, the ketchup is free and you get free refills. The booths are comfortable too.



Yeah, that restaurant seems to be catching on, we got one of those too. I belive it's called Burger King. :p

[morphius]

Why stop in Des Moines? Thats barely even a drive! Why not jump the extra couple hours to Omahell?

[Nubian Nut]

Talk to Brock.

[Frazod]

Well, I'm off to the land of thin air and cooking spray. I'll probably check in from my cousin's house next week.

Have a good one!

And here I am!

Other than the mini-blizzard we hit near Vail, the trip was uneventful. I'm in Grand Junction (extreme western side of CO) and I'm looking forward to a week of mountain vistas and no lawyers.

So, have I missed anything important?
