Mon September 13 at 7:00 PM, PS Lounge
3416 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO, USA (Map & Directions)
As luck would have it, I'll be visiting Denver and Colorado Springs September 12-18, with just enough time to meet the digerati.
Denver is better for me too, depends on the date as to weather I can make it though.

Indeed, we're about due. I can't make it Tuesday or Thursday, however. The Great American Beer Festival gets underway Thursday, which means that we probably wouldn't want to go to the Falling Rock Taphouse... or anywhere else downtown that has good beer. So that might motivate an earlier meetup, or maybe someplace outside of downtown.

Denver for me too. Friday preferred but any night should be ok.
We could go to the PS Lounge again if we want to get out of LoDo. Or bars on Broadway?
Great American Beer Festival tickets sold out long ago btw in case anyone was thinking... I missed out this year and consequently am in great emotional pain.

Thus far, Wednesday and Friday sound better. Wednesday, because we could still make it downtown, and Friday because it's a weekend and it's easy for people to drink lots.
Between those two, my preference is for Wednesday, as I'm actually heading to GABF (sorry!) Saturday morning (11-ish) so wouldn't want to go out too much Friday night. That being said, I'll go anywhere and Fridays are typically easier for people to make.

After looking through -t's photos from the PS Lounge meetup, I'm all for it. Wednesday or Friday both work for me because that particular week is a constellation of events that assures me a perpetual hangover.
Would it be worth lighting the bat signal? I feel like we're maybe not getting the usual eyes on page, perhaps because IRL is still new.

Bat signal lit. (Not sure if any of you are on it... what with parsing nicks and IRL names but there was quite a few names on there.)

Wednesday seems to be a crowd favorite, but I could also hang around the PS Lounge on Monday; any place that has Social Distortion and Johnny Cash on the jukebox is tops with me.

If scrutiny and McBearclaw are okay with Monday, we could set a time; either way, both nights are still good for me.

I may be able to make Monday, since I don't work (well, at least not work where I have to be somewhere at a given time) on Tuesdays. Wednesday nights, though, have been tricky lately.

Yeah, I could do Monday. I certainly don't have anything else planned then.
Did we want to rock PS Lounge again then?

I can do Monday too. (It also gives me a nice break to recover in time for Thursday night drinkies.)
PS Lounge works for me. But then so does LoDo since we're earlier in the week and no longer clashing with the Beer Festivus. I would suggest wherever is easier for Smart Dalek, as he is an outta towner and PS Lounge is a little way out. Where are you staying Smart Dalek?

Welcome freshwater!
Y'all: It looks like Monday night has won out. (Agree?) So what venue? Monday is sufficiently prior to the Beer Festival to open up downtown as a contender. My vote would be for LoDo or downtown: (a) because it's likely to be easier for Smart Dalek if staying in the centre; (b) because those Mefites from further afield, particularly those relying on public transport, tend to find it easier. The Falling Rock is always a favourite...
So, can we vote to decide on locale, comrades?

Oh, and Monday is fine, and I don’t have a venue preference.

I love Falling Rock, but since I've never been to PS Lounge, that might be my first choice for this meetup.

If anyone else prefers PS Lounge over another venue, speak now for the final tally. I can make reach the Lounge again by Wednesday as well, so Falling Rock could still count as an option for Monday. Cast your votes, early and often!

I'll cast my vote for Falling Rock for Monday since the only strong opinion one way or the other seems to be scrutiny's.

I suppose I should clarify that the reason I prefer falling rock is because they have excellent sour beer (New Beligium's La Folie) on draft. Last time I was there, they were pulling at $5 a pour because New Belgium had given them a massive amount of kegs of the stuff. Odds are that special is gone, but sour beer on draft is pretty rare.
I'm not opposed to PS Lounge either, but someone who is not me should make the final call. I'll show up (tomorrow?!?!) regardless :)

Fieldtrip cycled one time so there must be space somewhere. Its surroundings are fairly residential (other than Colfax) itself so you should be able to find a sign or something you can lock to. I may well cycle myself.

7! I should be able to get there a bit earlier than that. I guess if y'all want to come at 8, you'll just have to deal with me being drunk after sitting by myself for an hour and a half.

Alas, we can't make it tonight, had a election ballot education session to attend after a weekend of lots of driving. For the mythical Ft. Collins meetup, would people want to do a brewery tour? It would probably have to start in the afternoon to get a tour in before dinner somewhere else.
