What's the general feeling on the second Saturday (the 8th) in December? That ought to work out pretty well as far as being right in between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I think the range we went to might be a little out of the way for the guys coming from anywhere south of Denver, labgrade. But if we can't come up with other ideas then we'll go with it. Need input from the guys in and around Denver about possible locations since that's the most central area and provides the easiest access. Otherwise we'll be looking at 1.) a lengthy travel for some folks, or 2.) a smaller crowd than we'd probably like. We need to nail down the place ASAP, because everything else is going to spin off of that.
Anything east of Denver off of I-70 that anyone can think of?
On Monday, I'm interviewing for the assistant manager position at my favorite restaurant in Greeley: Bubba's Bar-B-Que. If I get it, I may be in a position to help out with some great grub! Then again, putting me in charge of a BBQ place would be akin to having an alcoholic run a liquor store!
Let's do it this way: If you even
think you might be interested, drop me an e-mail (patriot_bob@yahoo.com) in the next day or two and I'll assemble a mailing list. Then we can communicate more fluidly than everyone checking back on this thread every day or two for info. Anyone who wants to put something out after that can drop it to me and I'll forward it. If we go with the 8th, that gives us three weeks. Not a LONG time, but the CO TRT has certainly done more on shorter notice!
This has a LOT of potential for a TON of fun! I'm psyched!
