Sorry to be laughing but I thought you only lost or broke phones while drunk... oh wait, were you drunk in the taxi?Glad you guys are starting to filter in. I am excited as well. However my daughter is not. She just cried herself to sleep tonight anticipating my departure. She is a daddy's girl indeed.
So Liam, define hot to you? We have been enduring 95-105 degree weather with humidity to match.

hmm maybe it was residual alcohol I had just been to the Notting Hill Carnival a few hours before but i think in was a genuine pocket slip grrr! I was texting my cousin letting him know I had got to the airport and went to get my wallet for the fare put the phone in my little coat pocket with no zip just popped out. Driver has kept it i rang him from gatwick airport, I can pick it up when I get back to England.
Haha hot for me is not hot for you I guess, its just a nice comfortable heat not scorching? You will have to decide for yourself when you arrive.
Seems nice haven't ventured into down town yet -
looks like I'll be joining the group, though maybe sometime a little later. I get in to Denver around 5:40pm. Hopefully I can get up to the fun before 9:00.
-
yeah the turn around time in denver was amazing compared to atlanta I was in the airport and picking up my case in less than 20mins! God links to boulder I got the supershuttle its only $12 straight to Boulder but you can pay $25 to get dropped off anywhere you like. Taxi's quoted me ridiculous prices dont go near them!!
-
Guys, Boarded the plane in LA for Denver and was told to get off due to engine trouble. 2 Hours delayed....
If not sleeping on the flight from AUS was not enough now have to sit around the terminal...I guess it could have been worse; they could have told us mid-flight.
Eric L, I lleft a message on your cell as we were going to try and get a taxi together I think. Dave, not sure how I'm getting to Boulder, maybe a Shuttle or taxi. I have the motel address so I'll fiond my way although not sure what time.
Great start.
-
well hopefully not that long till you get here I found super shuttle to be the best choice if you are on your own $12 to boulder downtown or $25 drop off whereever you want?
Anyway I left my phone in London as some of you know this is the only way I can contact the group grr
, what is the plan for tonight then is it still 5pm onwards? if so I should arrive just about 6pm, looking forward to meeting everybody. -
I just got to the hotel.
Andrew, I don't know if you'll see this before you get to the room but I left a key card with your name on it at the front desk. Good luck with the flight and so on.
-
Late notice, but I'm dropping by in a few minutes. See you there.
-
I believe that I can't be there at the good hour!
My boat is not enough speedy on the ocean from the old continent!
Have fun and wishing videos will be neat
-
Right
None of this "What goes on tour stays on tour" shite! Get the photos up from last night / this morning!!
-
Chris took pictures and if I recall correct he said 'not gonna happen in the first couple of months'
Nice to see the face behind each name! (Although i don't remember them anymore due to being up 24 hours and the beers)
Registration and Brunch starts in 5 minutes! -
Here is a pic of some Googlers and SketchUcationers outside The Dairy (meeting place) this morning, Dave, Lewis, Pete, Shara, Csaba, Scott, Rich, Andrew .... I'm not in it because I was busy taking the pic
-
And that was me just to the left of Dave R.
Here is the Leper Colony.
Mayor Mike, Richard (rclub24), Gaieus, guy in blue (sorry I have not met you yet), Patrick (MuseumMaker), guy in brown (sorry dude, I forgot your name) and Pete (solo).
Here is a picture at breakfast. Mmmm good. They had made to order omlets among much more. Looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast.
-
Yeah, sorry. I did take lots of photos, but I don't have a computer here so I don't have a great way to upload them right now. Maybe I can get Picasa installed on the Mac I'm using right now so I can process some pics and get them up. So far each night seems to end up with everyone hanging out at the restaurant next to the hotel.

I had to use a Mac to do a presentation on. It was very painful! I almost had a meltdown in front of everyone.
-
Yeah, chris's session was good but he wasn't speaking english
-
I was speaking ruby. Though speaking of english, I can't read your posts now without hearing your accent. Now I can't even comrehend your written english

OK, here is my picasaweb album of photos from this pre-event. There were lots more people there than I captured on film. I got there a bit late, and at some point I just quit taking photos because it was so fun to talk to people, instead of stalk them like paparazi. So there could have been more pics, but this is a pretty good collection. I'll also add them to the main basecamp group when I get approved to add to it.
