Get together before base camp

Jean Lemire · 24 Aug 2010, 18:18

Hi folks.

I finally found a way to come to Basecamp 2010.

I will arrive in Denver International Airport around 1:43 PM on Tuesday August 31st. So I shall have plenty of time to get to the bar for 5 PM.

One more Frenchy accent to mix with the lot.

It will be nice to see so many faces from the 2008 Basecamp as well as getting to see new ones.

See you soon.

So I just checked with the Baker Street Pub. They are all set for us. I won't be their until later, so whoever shows up first can just say your with the Google or SketchUp group. They also have my name which really isn't DavidBoulder. It is David Goldwasser.

Sorry Pete, I forgot to check on the beer-rita. You'll just have to take that up with the bar-tender.

See everyone in a week.

That's great news Jean

That's great Jean. Would you believe you were one of the original names i recall from my first foray into the SU world on the old SU forums along with the Mayor, Ross, Susan, Grant and others [what the hell happened to the almighty Grant anyway?]..
Be nice to meet you.

EDIT: I fly in after 4pm on Tuesday so I'll be there just as soon as I [and Eric L, I think] can get in a cab to the hotel, exit cab / drop bags, grab wallet / enter cab and make a bee line for Baker street.

Indeed, good news, Jean. Looking forward to seeing you again!

So are most people staying at the Best Western or the Marriot? I am staying at both... (Not at the same time however)

Chris Fullmer · 25 Aug 2010, 16:27

Looks like msot people are in the Best Western. But the two are close, so it should be pretty easy to get back and forth I would hope.

Andrew and I offered to help drag those who can't make it on their own.

Looking forward to see you guys... two days left and then I will be airborne

Just a question: how easy is it to walk around in Boulder? I read about it, it seems that Boulder is very pedestrian friendly..

Finally I got my travel arrangements sorted out.
Looking forward to meeting all you guys at the Pub.
Hopefully there will be someone still there when
I arrive.

solo · 26 Aug 2010, 23:31

Looks like there are many folks from here attending, folks we have chatted to for years and never met. How will we recognise each other? Some of us are using images as avatars which should help, but those who do not are gonna have to stick a SCF name tag so we can match faces to forum names.

Rich O Brien · 26 Aug 2010, 23:43

Well i'll be an easy spot - unshaven, unkempt and ginger Irishman. If in doubt, follow your nose...

Good idea so I can recognise you in the restroom

utiler · 27 Aug 2010, 00:31

Gaieus · 27 Aug 2010, 08:53

I guess you'll recognise me at least, Pete. I have a much bigger belly than last time we met but at least by the beer bottle in my hand, you can tell it's me.

monsterzero · 27 Aug 2010, 09:54

Hey Guys,
I'll be joining you as well. I arrive at the Denver airport at 6pm and catching a shuttle over to the Golden Bluff Best Western to check in and head over to the Pub as soon as I can.

Can't wait!
Justin

Gaieus · 27 Aug 2010, 10:24

Hi Justin,

It's definitely going to be a pleasure to meet you again!
