May 21, 2010: Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash X (Because I Can’t Remember Where We Left Off Edition)

At 7 p.m. on May 21, 2010, at the Milwaukee St. Tavern, the Rocky Mountain Bloggers will be drinking booze, enjoying each other’s company, and solving the thorniest political problems with the amazing acuity that only booze can provide.

Entry is sticky for now. Watch below for other posts. Directions to the bar can be found here.

Who’s Coming to the Party?



Me. Because it isn’t much of a party without me, let’s be honest.
Jed. Whose blogging sprung a leak some time ago. We miss ya, Jed! And, anyway, he might not come. Because he has commitment issues.
Doug S. Who sometimes posts here. Sometimes posts other places. He’s sort of a blog hussy, really, and he has commitment issues, too.
Robert. He will be accompanied by his beautifully trimmed beard and a brace of anti-Zomby jokes. Because that’s how he rolls.
Darren. And, if we’re lucky, his lovely wife, both of whom bring a little needed class to the rest of us rabble.

Steve Green. Because he is both a better conversationalist than I am and happens to be a chick magnet. Which is important when you’re inviting a bunch of bloggers to go drinking.
Robin and his wife will be there to argue the relative merits of the various roller derby teams that come through Denver. And politics.
Walter. Even though he hasn’t said so explicitly, I have faith in him.
Mr. Lady will not be there. But she’ll be there in spirit. We’ll be there in spirits, but that’s an entirely different thing.

Milwaukee St. Tavern

I guess I’m about 50/50 for making it.

on May 03 2010 @ 03:38 PM

Assuming that my obligation to help my son finish his Raingutter Regatta entry doesn’t interfere, and assuming that the “location to be specified later” is not too objectionable, there’s a possibility that I might show up.

Given your response to Jed’s response, I guess that means that I should be on the list.  8-)

on May 03 2010 @ 07:45 PM

What would qualify as objectionable in this case? Jed’s place looks interesting and I might drive by for a drink there on Friday if I can swing it. But I also had some suggestions about Parker and Castle Rock.

And now seems like a good idea to think different. ly.

on May 03 2010 @ 08:09 PM

Well, that’s good news, ‘cause lord knows we need chick magnets.

Oh, and I’ll be there ...

The turing word is “husband66” which pretty much puts paid to the idea that I’m a “chick magnet”.

on May 03 2010 @ 08:45 PM

If it all possible I will be there.

on May 03 2010 @ 09:00 PM

No comment, Robin.

on May 03 2010 @ 09:22 PM

I’m putting in my calender....my Google calender even.

on May 04 2010 @ 09:12 AM

We know what a party is like when Zombyboy shows up, don’t we?

BTW that link is NSFW ... really.  NSFW no kidding.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you when you get fired ...

Turing word is “reached21” - I tell you there’s something spooky in that software.

on May 04 2010 @ 02:57 PM

Weird. You’re right. That is a lot like a party with me.

Only I don’t usually wear the crown and it usually takes a bit longer for Robert to break out the red wig and pole dance routine.

But, yeah, good times.

And I installed a Turing word system that reads minds. I’m awesome that way.

Robert has a Pippi Longstocking thing? As in Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackerelmint Ephraim’s Daughter Longstocking?

WV is private43, so I guess it’s also respectful of at least some of us.

Anyways, it isn’t commitment I lack. And it’s nice to be missed too.

on May 04 2010 @ 03:35 PM

Let me know if you need help scouting locations. I’m here to help.

on May 04 2010 @ 04:57 PM

jed, that’s not Pippi Longstocking.  It is Wendy.

I mean, come on, we all knew that is where Wendy would end up, didn’t we?

on May 04 2010 @ 06:30 PM

DAMMIT GUYS. THURSDAY. I will be in Denver, at Trios, on THIS FREAKING THURSDAY.

Stop acting like I left the country or something.

on May 04 2010 @ 07:51 PM

There is actually a really good reason that I picked May 21--and it revolves around a drag show, my wife, a bevy of gay men and lesbian women, a dash of political bigotry, and the fact that, apparently, I’m not gay enough to hang out with my wife.

Or something like that.

ZB: I never get invited to lesbian parties either. I used to get invited to parties where there were a few bisexual women, but they didn’t make out on the couch or anything anyway. I have been to an Indigo Girls concert, which is almost as good.

Mister Lady: Okay, so we’re just going to sweep that whole Canuckistan thing under the rug? I’m okay with that. Especially if you’re wearing a short skirt, and cowboy boots with spurs. If this week is like most weeks, by Thursday I won’t be fit for human interaction. There’s other things, too, which I won’t go into.

Robin: It could be Pippi Longstocking. Tight braids aren’t exactly a Wendy exclusive. And for all we know, Dave Thomas was a fan of Astrid Lindgren. In fact, I challenge you tell the difference between Pippi and Wendy, in a dimly lighted bar, after a dozen tequila shots. Using only your tongue. Can’t be done.

on May 04 2010 @ 08:26 PM

In fact, I challenge you tell the difference between Pippi and Wendy, in a dimly lighted bar, after a dozen tequila shots. Using only your tongue. Can’t be done.

Ahem.  There *is* a texture difference, dude: Pippi is the one in long, um, stockings.  And since I’ve already embarrassed myself with over-literalism for [hopefully] humorous effect, I might as well point out Wendy is a little bit frosty on the tongue.

Gee, I hope I didn’t violate any trademarks with that…

on May 04 2010 @ 09:29 PM

Oh, and it is time for me to attend another RMBB, and actually not be a stick in the mud this time.  However, I’m still not at liberty to attend.

Can I underwrite someone’s attendence on my behalf to the tune of $50?  Or could that just buy a round for everyone?

on May 04 2010 @ 09:31 PM

I’m not entering he Pippi-Wendy debate. The only direction I can take the conversation involves more naughtiness than is appropriate on this site.

And I’m tempted to use your fifty to buy a round for everyone, but I think a better solution is for you to save it up until you get back and can join us in person. Of course, then we’ll all be buying you your drinks--but you’ll have earned the privilege.

on May 04 2010 @ 09:34 PM

Ugh.

This time, I’m out.

I just got promoted, and with a promotion came a schedule change. I’m no longer off work on Fridays and Saturdays, and am usually stuck up at the airport until 10:30 on Friday nights.

So yeah. I’ll be missing this one. First time I’ve missed one in exactly HOW long?

Don’t answer that. You’ll make yourself feel old.

on May 04 2010 @ 10:30 PM

New plan: we all get hammered, then head out to the airport to try and get OC fired.

on May 05 2010 @ 05:18 AM

Good plan.

on May 05 2010 @ 08:01 AM

In SPIRIT? Oh, dude, I am express mailing my underwear to this thing. I’ll show you some In Spirit.

on May 05 2010 @ 04:10 PM
jed

Mail? Uh, aren’t you going to be like, actually in town Thursday. Can’t you just leave them here?

I’ll provide a flagpole.

on May 05 2010 @ 04:58 PM

I’ll come pick them off. Up. Pick them up.

on May 05 2010 @ 05:58 PM

I plan on being there, but I decline to get involved with Wendy or Pippi or their little bitty pieces parts.

TW: open78. I haven’t seen a 78 in years, let alone one still in the wrapping.

on May 05 2010 @ 10:23 PM

I really want to come guys.......

on May 06 2010 @ 04:26 AM

Oooooo, that was sneaky spam.

on May 06 2010 @ 07:30 AM

Jed, if you’d shown up, I’d have HANDED them to you. You snooze, you lose.

on May 08 2010 @ 07:34 AM

Good Golly, I need a beer…
10 more weeks…

on May 08 2010 @ 11:00 AM
jed

But Mr. Lady, they wouldn’t be as much fun without you in them.

on May 08 2010 @ 01:35 PM

Damn, I’m on the East Coast then watching my son graduate. I really wanted to come to this. Sorry.

on May 10 2010 @ 06:40 AM

It’s a shame you won’t be there, Roger, but that’s a pretty good reason to miss the party.

Have a good time at the graduation.

on May 10 2010 @ 10:33 AM

Do we have a location yet?

The blog is anxious to know too, as shown by the turing word “better66”

on May 15 2010 @ 02:35 PM

I’m in.

Better get cracking with a location, otherwise it’s at your house.

on May 15 2010 @ 05:50 PM

If I had a bigger place, I would be entirely okay with that.

As it is, come back tomorrow night to find out the where.

on May 15 2010 @ 09:34 PM

Well, I’m not thrilled by the choice of location. The reviews are decidedly mixed, and most of the positive comments revolve around all the TVs and how much sports you can watch.

Is there some new rule I hadn’t heard of mandating that we not go to the same place twice? ‘Cause I really liked the Old Mill Brewery in Littleton—good beer, good food, good service. And a convenient location.

Oh, what the heck. I suppose I’ll be there.

Richard, where have you been the past couple weeks?

on May 17 2010 @ 05:39 AM

Richard, where have you been the past couple weeks?

Um, well ... not reading ResurrectionSong at 5:39 AM. Mostly at home. And at work. And working at home. And Saturday mornings at LePeep, where we’ve missed you. Where’ve you been?

Or are you perhaps referring to my on-again, off-again posting regimen? Hey, I managed five posts last week—that’s five more than you! grin

on May 17 2010 @ 11:12 PM

I feel compelled to mention that there is never, ever a bad time to be reading ResurrectionSong.

And I’m not at all biased on the subject.

on May 17 2010 @ 11:14 PM

And what the hell is that spam comment doing in here?

Grumble grumble grumble...

on May 17 2010 @ 11:15 PM
jed

Well, I’ve been here. In particular, I was here on May 03 2010 @ 03:38 PM. Which is pretty much what I was referring to.

I’ve been under my car, too.

on May 18 2010 @ 03:15 PM

OMG! Jed’s thrown himself under his own bus!

Medic! Get that man a beer!

on May 18 2010 @ 04:26 PM

Nice. Very nice.

on May 18 2010 @ 04:39 PM

Hmmm, Flash site that takes forever to load and has no actual information.  Must be a nostalgia bar.

Are the 90s “classic” now?

on May 18 2010 @ 05:12 PM
jed

Doug, scroll up to my 1st post. I link to the home page, bypassing the flash intro. From there you can check out the menu and other stuff.

Billllll, you just haven’t lived until you’ve spent some time laying on your back tapping 5/16NC threads into 8 holes in the bottom of your front bumper. After that, I needed a beer.

I prefer to liken the decrepit Volvo to a tank, rather than a bus.

on May 18 2010 @ 05:43 PM

Shit, is it really this Friday already? Not sure about the do-ability. Finances.

on May 18 2010 @ 07:31 PM

Don’t worry. I’ll cover you.

on May 18 2010 @ 07:41 PM

I’ll sure try to be there.  Promise me I don’t have to interview anyone?

on May 19 2010 @ 08:06 AM

Looks like it is just going to be me tonight.  Gee, I hope at least one of your spammers show up too.

on May 21 2010 @ 08:10 AM

Actually, we’ve secretly re-named it the Rocky Mountain Spamapalooza and Blogger Bash.

And, darnit, you know we only invite you because your wife is such good company. Tell her we’ll be missing her.

Now, to spam cleaning duties…

on May 21 2010 @ 10:00 AM

So no erotic massage eh?

spoilsport

on May 21 2010 @ 11:36 AM

Buy me a drink, sailor, and we’ll see where it goes from there.

But, boy, will my wife be cranky.

on May 21 2010 @ 12:05 PM

You two are so cute together.

on May 21 2010 @ 02:43 PM

That’s it, I’m bringin’ heat.

Jed:

An internet superhero’s job is never done, right?

on May 22 2010 @ 09:57 PM

Did Steve ever show up?
