Nooooo, that can't be right.

Quiet you! I was enjoying the compliment!

I was just tell in VP that I would like to play a game or two.

[Monkeydog]

We should play a giant Civilization game at the con.

As in the board game or PC?

[Monkeydog]

Real life.

[SpazCat]

Make sure it has detailed instructions. I have never played the real life one.

This Con will be epic!

[Monkeydog]

Well all start out in small pillow forts and slowly build those pillow forts.

 

Also if you're Ghandi you have to shave your heard. 

[SpazCat]

And have all the nukes.

[kspr]

what else are we playing? can i bring my major beararms costume? we should devise other games too, like plants vs zombies somehow

[SpazCat]

I plan on bringing apples to apples.

 

Anything we can think of I'm sure we can do. We'll have plenty of time.

Hey, the spreadsheet says the date is from the 11th to the 15th, has it just not been updated or was it changed again? (also, I put it in my signature so people don't have to hunt through the pages for the link)

[SpazCat]

I put the 15th since that is the day we'll all be leaving, Is that not right? Or is everyone planning on checking out on the 14th?
 
(Also, thanks for placing the link in your sig.)

Denver Colorado
 
You have already seen lodgings A-D, but this time they are updated with the correct pricing.
 
Note: For the sake of trying to keep the prices relative I kept the number of guest at 14 max (sometimes it's shown as 12 adults plus 2 children).
Prices may very based on attendance.
Some lodgings listed only allow for 12 guest, please notice some listings include if they will accommodate more guests and what the additional charge may be, if applicable.
 
Lodging A
 
Lodging B
 
Lodging C
 
Lodging D
 
Lodging E
 
Lodging F
 
Lodging G
 
Lodging H

 
I personally like:
 
Lodging A - It looks beautiful, plus the pets (specifically the chickens). I just find that to be fun in it's own right.
 
Lodging C - The open set-up would be ideal for our group to converse and move around the house. The location and price are nice too.

I'm a big fan of how H is only 7 minutes from the airport... 

 

I think E and I are the same place. J has duplicate photos of one of the other links as well. 

 

I just want a place where we can hang out, potentially goof off (since I have no idea how we'll all act around each other XD ), and that's a nice distance from something to do on one of the days. (What's in Denver? Anything? I'm assuming something.)

 

On a slightly different coin, there's also places like this. And these.

 

(Also, when you're booking something, if you don't have a AAA card and they give discounts for it...I'll give you my number for it.)

I fixed the duplicates. Thank you. I was messing with so many links, clearly I got confused. I'll be answering you other questions soon.

Lodging C and D seems like it'd be too small, since there's only 7 beds (and that's taking into account those who would be sharing beds, anyway). For it to work, we'd have to share every bed, which may depend on how comfortable everyone is with that. Since many of us will be meeting for the first time, and it may not match up that we'd be bedding with people we know. (for example, while I'd have no issue sharing a bed with Kamau, if Kamau brings her GF, then obviously, I'm not going to be sharing a bed with her anymore).

I only chose Colorado for the amount of responses it was given. It was also mentioned very early on in this topic (before I was even a member I think). As for the city, Denver, it seemed like a good mid-point. It's urban enough to give us entertainment and has rural lodgings to let us explore the great outdoor woods.

 

As for what's there:

Free lice music with an open mic night.

A Zoo, as previously mentioned. I feel like all places have a zoo.

Fun City - Laser Tag guys, laser tag.

Air and Space Museum

The obligatory Amusement Park

Not to mention the plethora of hiking trails...

 

Still not convinced?

They also have city parks - for the more leisurely stroll.

Children's Museum

Not one, but three, breweries! 1 2 3 Which all have tours available.

Gotta get those souvenirs! Or just plain shop...

Art Museum

I had too much fun with this post.

I'm certain someone will be sleeping on the floor somewhere. Likely me, since Rose will be a bed hog.

 

I understand where you're coming from though. I'm doing very basic research, but we also have to remember that there may be people who say they're going, but don't. It's a slippery slope. I agree though, I don't think I was paying a lot of attention towards the end. I'm sorry for my lackluster performance. I'll show myself out....

 

[Kamau]

There's apparently a couple of state parks, too. :D And don't worry, you're doing a great job of research! I agree that more beds/room for beds is better, though. I'm a little iffy on the 3-bedroom options. 

 

I'll also say, chances are extremely likely that my gf won't end up going if flying is involved. She haaaaates flying. Obviously you never know, but I do know that she is 1000% not a fan. XD
