goalie posted at 1:35, to confirm he was attending dinner. At 2:34, Pat moved him to the confirmed list for SFO. I believe he was referring to SFO, not COS..

FS, please note that I have already requested that participants send this information to me both on the board and in separate PM and emails. Many are uncomfortable posting their details on a public bulletin board. I am preparing a spreadsheet with all of this information which will be available only to the participants--not google search engines.

While I appreciate the fact that you are trying to help here, since you have never hosted a DO, you may not be aware that many things are in the works and are being taken care of in the background and duplicative and overlapping efforts can lead to confusion among the participants.

You already have your work cut out for you with the inventory job. If you would like to volunteer to help in any additional project for this DO, please PM me and we can discuss it off the board. Thanks!

I'm in! Will attend all COS events.

Thanks so much, Randy, for the amazing generosity. We'll pay it forward.

That post reminds me to update my hotels:
  • 4/15-16 Radisson Hotel Colorado Springs Airport, 1645 N Newport Rd, 80916
  • 4/16-17 HP (Hyatt Place) or H SS (Hyatt Summerfield Suites), tbd by paranoiatx; this post reminded me to note that paranoiatx will decide up to 24hrs prior to check-in
  • 4/17-18 Antlers Hilton, 4 S Cascade, 80903

I'll have a rental 4/16 09:00-4/18 09:00 & can drive 2 others. I don't plan anything after I arrive 4/15 16:00 since I fly from TPE thus jetlag may affect me but I'm game for anything y'alls have planned.

I share rental and hotel with paranoiatx.

I'm game for anything after I drop off paranoiatx @ COS @ 5p that day. Let us know the details. I suggest Airplane Restaurant.

Hi Pat -

If it's not too late, can you add Elvis and me to the COS dinner on Saturday? Nice job coordinating the multi-city events.

Randy - thanks for a repeat of your Colorado hospitality- let us know what we can bring. It will be nice to see you and everyone again.

Please add me too!

Thank you for the work in organizing these events. It is generous of you, LIH Prem, and Randy to open this visit. It was a pleasure to meet you at the Captain Denny DO dinner in San Francisco.

Pat just reminded me about the coins. Nice to meet you too, and look forward to seeing you at this event.

[will edit with hotel info, likely Hyatt Place]

Aside, I share rental and hotel with paranoiatx.
Funny that I will finally get to meet you in COS -- & we're both from EWR-land! Nothing definitive planned for Sun. evening -- just throwing out the idea!

COS is quite convenient. I couldn't see paying almost $400 to COS when I paid $120 to fly LAX-DEN for this event.
