    Maybe. We'll vote at lunch and let you know. You can sit at the kids table until the vote results are announced. There might be collusion between jexby and hands.

    My house is under contract and will close on the 30th of this month, when I'll get the dough. If that stays on schedule, I'll be there. So, I'm about 80% sure I can make it.

    Been living in it full time for months...in my driveway. :(

    I've taken it camping a few times, and have parked around town just to get the feel of it. But I've spent all my money getting the house ready for sale, so mostly I just sit on my ass in the driveway At the moment. Not that I haven't been busy as hell. Up until two weeks ago I was working painfully hard on readying the house with my buddy Wally who's a contractor.

    Asked $399k, got offered $415k w/$250k down! It's old in two hours. Still the inspection to go, and a last blast on that stuff with Wally. That's where shit might run long and I wouldn't be able to make it. But...*knocks wood*...things have been going to plan nicely so far, and we think we have a good grip on the remaining details about f the house.

    Contract says close on the 30th. We'll see.

    Some day I'll make it to RMAF to meet you crazy guys. Until then have fun!

    P.S. @Tyll Hertsens I wish you well and I look forward to some cool updates on the van after the house sale is closed. (Cummins swap, more electronics, etc.)

    It is, of course, the week before my wedding ... but the girlie and I will both be there (for once).

    We get in Friday night, staying at the Hyatt Regency (walkable from the DTC Marriott).

    Thinking about a post-Saturday-show group dinner/drinks/cigars either at The Buckhorn Exchange or Del Friscos, which anyone is welcome to join if they're in the mood. May include my non-headphone centric friends from Colorado (I lived there for the first 8 years of being in the US).

    Disclosure to those unfamiliar with Denver: those are two of the most expensive restaurants in town.
    as the saying goes: "sorry for your wallet."

    That's a fair point.

    I should clarify ...

    In the case of Del Friscos for drinks and cigars then the first Scotch/brandy/port and cigar would be on me and the girlie. They have (or had the last time I was there, but it still seems to be present), an excellent cigar/spirits/piano bar.

    There may be better spots ... and am open to suggestions, that's just the two spots we're going to be at by default.

    The hotel lunch is probably gonna kick my ass financially enough as-is (I'm in a real crunch as of late). I could spring for a deluxe $3 meal at Taco Bell in the evening, though. :)

    If we don't do an elaborate meal, or even if we do, you're more than welcome to join us for the drink/cigar part afterwards. Our pleasure to host/cover that.

    Though if the group is small and winds up at Buckhorn, Denver's former (no idea if it's still this way) tendency to close things down early, might preclude the cigar-bar thing at Del Friscos.

    all good points, not that I can attend but:
    it may be easier to get folks from RMAF (DTC area) to downtown now on light rail train,
    have always felt that
    http://domorestaurant.com
    is one of the most unique, high quality, not very high price tag places in Denver.
    and 1 block away from a train stop.

    Fine with me.

    If there's more than a couple doing that, we'll buy the bottle and keep the crystal when it's done.

    I'll have to play it by ear to see if I'll be able to join in on anything Saturday evening after RMAF (or if I'll need to head home for some reason), so I'll just wait and see how things look come then. :)

    Yep, it is. The restaurant is in the atrium near the anJam area. Easy to find.
    I've added you to the list, which I'm maintaining in post #12
