While I’m waiting on pictures from my camera, I might as well tell y’all about this:
David and I are officially ready to announce the
Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash 5000 : Donkeys Over Denver
The website is up and running, with a spiffy header designed by the always lovely Aimee Greeblemonkey, Trios Enoteca is booked for the night, there’s a keg waiting for us from Wynkoop Brewery, we’ve got Lijit officially sponsoring the event, and there’s a rumour that my old buddies at CreBuzz might help us fund our little event, too.
Which would rock.
Because we don’t have enough booze yet.
And booze is going to be really, crucially important in a room full of democrats AND republicans.
The official details are:
August 28, 2008
Trios Enoteca
1730 Wynkoop·Denver, CO 80202
7:30 PM to Close
Free Food and Free Beer & Wine
(In limited supplies and only if we like you.)
RSVP and get additional info available at our website.
Please, if you wouldn’t mind passing along the info to anyone you know who will be at the convention, near the convention, affected by the convention or thirsty after the convention, we’d be really grateful.

Tuesday, 5 August, 2008 at 12:31How cool if Cre8buzz sponsors your shindig! I will live vicareously, once again. So, this is an order… get really drunk, make a total fool out of yourself and take pictures- that’s what I would do!

Tuesday, 5 August, 2008 at 13:50Fucking shit.
Why can’t you have this party in Wisconsin? You could call it the “250-feet above sea level club.”
What, not catchy enough?

Tuesday, 5 August, 2008 at 15:06I wonder if a day will ever coming that I get to go to one of these?
But I have a question. I was on your blog the other day, following all of these different links, and stumbled across a blog that was about a woman that had uncurrable breat cancer. She blogged about it for about a year, and when she died, she had a pre-written letter that she asked her husband to post. I can’t remember HOW I got there, what it’s called, etc. I wanted my friend to read this, and wondered if you have any clue as where this blog may be? I mean, since you know EVERY.FREAKING.PERSON on the internet and all. Just saying.

Tuesday, 5 August, 2008 at 15:21Shannon, I sent my RSVP last night. Never been there before. Debating whether I’m riding the light rail or driving. I expect parking will be scarce and outrageous with the convention and all.

Missing BlogHer was difficult enough, I want to go to this so much more.
Sounds like a blast.
janethesane
Wednesday, 6 August, 2008 at 2:21I don’t drink alcohol. Would I be really welcome because of the booze shortage or really unwelcome because I couldn’t play your cool drinking games? This is kind of a rhetorical question because I can’t come anyway. I’ve been permanently exiled to the Eastern timezone. But still, I wonder.

Wednesday, 6 August, 2008 at 3:43Mmmm. We’ve pretty much sworn off going anywhere near downtown (and sadly, that includes lodo) that whole week, because it’s going to be nuts. Heck, we’re only a few miles away… we’ll be lucky if it doesn’t spill out in front of the house here.
How long are you going to be in town? Could we tempt you with breakfast or a nice margarita at the Mexican dive down the street?
Marge would surely drive in from Kansas to join us… whaddya say?
Lori B (mamanuggle)
Wednesday, 6 August, 2008 at 15:36Surely makers of Coors Light – being a Rocky Mtn Brew company – want in on this highbrow event as a corporate sponsor? It could only help their image – well, that, and if you flash your tits a few times.
Have fun for me!
