Summer 2007 Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash (Incredible Bouncing Post)
In honor of the latest Cirque du Soleil to visit Denver, here comes the bouncy post once again. Don’t forget the blogger bash.
Seven is special. Unless you happen to be a seventh grader,in which case it just sucks.
But, mostly, seven makes me happy.
Take, for example, July 7. That will be the night that the biggest, bestest, smartest, and drunkest bloggers in the Rocky Mountain Region come together for a night of fun and frivolity.
Which, that’s pretty damned special. Readers, writers, significant others, and other interesting folks are all invited to join in the party. Just bring your thirst, a credit card with a high limit, and an amusing anecdote or two.
2007 Summer Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash
July 7, 2007 (See, that’s an extra seven at the end there)
7:07pm to Close (By Special Request)
Celtic Tavern
1801 Blake St.
We’ll be in the Robert Burns Roon, non-smoking, private room at the bar (which is, I believe, actually at Delaney’s bar, which is joined at the hip with The Celtic). For smokers, The Celtic is a “cigar” bar, so you’ll be able to indulge in your tobacco habit. Which is nice for you.
Attendees & Stuff
Steve Green (Vodkapundit) One of our most famous, most distinguished, and most charismatic boozehounds. Which is why we love him.
Andy (World Wide Rant) Unless the runts keep him home. Which they can’t because he’s the co-conspirator that drives the continuing success of the Rocky Mountain Blogger Bashes
Robert (Creative Destruction) Who attends, mostly, because he can’t ignore the call of free shots.
Publicola In true gentlemanly fashion, Publicola will likely show up. Although we’ll have to find a way for him to sneak a cigarette.
Jed (Freedomsight) Who, regardless of why he’s coming, seems to have a better grasp of the Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash versioning than I do at this point.
Left Off Colfax This gentleman comes to pick fights with libertarians and conservatives while secretly drinking unguarded trays full of Jaegermeister. Which is amusing for pretty much everyone involved.
Mr. Lady Proving that Steve doesn’t have the corner on either charisma or boozehoundiness. (100 Kisses. That’s all I’m sayin’.)
Darren (Colorado Conservative) Or, at least, hell attend as long as someone wakes him in time.
Molly G (Soapy Water) God and babysitters willing, Molly will be there to tell us stories of Godzilla despoiling Hondas. Or not. Depending.
Wheels Who I think has been to almost as many of these as I have.
Angie Could it be?
Tara Anderson Not only does she come to the party, but she comes with Free t-shirts. Which makes her almost as popular as the guy who buys all the drinks.
Adam Who was probably cranky about all the free booze he missed out on last time.
Matt M (TBOTCOTW) His wife, who knows the kind of trouble we can be, still gave her blessing. She’s way too good for him.
Dr. Cutter And, don’t get me wrong, we’re happy he’s coming. But we really wish he would post more pictures of the naked skater.
Richard Combs He’ll be fashionably late, though. Frankly, I admire his commitment to our theme.
Robin Roberts Consider yourself nagged, mister.
Andrew, the Wash Park Prophet.
Julio Enriquez, whose knowledge of music probably rivals that of the drink-stealing blogger at Left Off Colfax…
Comments & Trackbacks
Woo Hoo!
We expect great things from you.
Great or *wink* great? Either way, I’m in.
Well, I definitely have to make this one...but I’m gonna need reminders...lots and lots of reminders...and beer...ooh and shot too!!! Oh yeah, and reminders…
I will personally and aggressively nag all the forgetful folks who might not notice the coming of the bash.
sad. I don’t think I’ll be able to go. Doesn’t that suck?
Seriously? Yes, that does suck. I’m more disappointed than you know.
Can I vote for a start time of 7:07pm?
You know, just to make sure the world ends as predicted in the prophecies?
Or maybe that’s the one about Mr. Lady and the table dancing (IN A TRON SUIT NO LESS!)…
Brilliant!
Damn! I’m back east at a wedding. Catch youall on #8 I guess.
Save a spot for this old wreck.
Early RSVP for a late arrival.
Being that this is finally on a Saturday, I might be able to make it. BUT the weekend before I will be in Eugene and taking a couple days off, so have to see about taking another trip right after to Denver.
I was looking for this earlier this year as I’m right up 25 right now, but sadly, I’ll be in Boise by July.
Count me there...with more free shirts to shill and maybe a later bedtime this go-around.
Timmer, maybe we can find a time to get together a little mini-bash before the bash to practice on our bash etiquette. When are you leaving town?
Okay okay, if we get free tee shirts and Mr. Lady can help with a babysitter(like, in finding one, not BEING one), I will say most likely I will be there. I would hate to disappoint you David.
I love it when people cater to my needs. Or, at least, pretend to.
Oh, I suppose the drink of choice will be 7&7 then? And isn’t it apropos that the ampersand character is a shifted 7?
And of course, the RMBB is 7th heaven.
Will 7 of 9 be there?
Will 7 of 9 be there?
You wish.
Me, too, for that matter.
Oh, David, we will both so make you pay for it in shot form.
I always pay for my brilliance and charm.
It’s a curse.
So what’s my excuse?
I will put it on the calendar, and give Matt my blessing to attend.
Yes.
Good.
Matt’s Better Half (which is, you know, probably true) you are welcome to come to the party. If you don’t want to, you could also give my better half a call so that you can hang out with her. She thinks you’re nice.
"This gentleman comes to pick fights with libertarians and conservatives while secretly drinking unguarded trays full of Jaegermeister.”
You know, I keep wanting to forget that night, or, more precisely, the hangover the next morning.
Meh. What are friends for except to remind you about all the embarrassing things you do when your sensibility is otherwise indisposed.
We love Stephen because he’s hot. And that’s exactly why we love you, too. I’d better get with the kiss-delivery BEFORE there is whiskey involved, huh?
I’ll be there, if I don’t forget like I did last time! But I may be seven seconds late.
7:07:07 07/07/07, 7:07:07 07/07/07, 7:07:07 07/07/07. If only I were better at remembering times and dates.
You didn’t nag me.
Hater.
The nagging has only just begun.
Talk about nagging…
You know, I do have a new website...one I posted at even today. It’s http://darrencopeland.wordpress.com/ and has an elephant chasing some lions. Just thought you should know.
Also, you can find out about my business at the PRAS Group blog that’s on my blogroll. Check it out.
Now back to your regularly scheduled announcements.
Oooh, yeah, I think hanging out with your better half would be much more fun than playing designated driver to my “overloaded with free shots” honey. Have her e-mail me or something.
Tentative yes.
yessum....
The conspiracy grows…
I think I’d like to stop in and knock back a few. I owe Andy@WWR a drink anyway.
Is it time for the amazing bouncing post to bounce yet?
It’s almost time. I have to make a couple calls today. If those calls go well, then it’s time for the post to bounce (and hook up with that graphics post from a few days ago, too).
Just so everyone knows: the update to this post is coming up tomorrow night. I’ll have new graphics to download and details of the venue.
Happily, the details should suit both smokers and non-smokers, although the centrality of the joint will most definitely be put into question by certain, subversive elements of the community.
Damned, evil insurgents.
Yup. Got mine updated.
Cue the dangerous subversive element complaining about the location in 5, 4 3, 2…
I don’t like the location. It isn’t convenient for me.
Now I have to go look it up in Google Maps to see where it is.
I put the event on Upcoming http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/206419/?ps=5
Excellent!
Dedoc highly suggested that I should come and hang out with all of you- and whom am I to disagree with Mussolini and Uncle Fester’s Lovechild?
I’ll be there with bells on, and hopefully enough single malt to keep me from heading over to Pint’s Pub down the road.
R
Roger, it sounds as if you’re my kind of drinker.
I think Pint’s would be a fine location for a blogger get-together.
Pint’s is where we normally break for after I teach class on Monday nights. Scotch is the best muscle balm after throwing people (and being thrown) that I know of. Sundays we hit the ‘gourmet grilled cheese’ shop on 19th.
Hmmm, isn’t it about time for this to get a little...bumpy?
Indeed. Indeed it is, my friend.
Boing.
We’re missing a seven.
7/7/07 - 3 7s
7:07 PM - 2 7s
Blogger Bash 7.0 - 1 7
That’s only six. We need one more seven.
7:07:07 pm
There’s the seventh seven.
Richard Combs saves the day!
Why are there ladies panties glued to the collar of my shirt?
’Cause you’re a rocket man. Rock it, man.
Fellows, I need more cowbell.
Obviously, I left too early—again.
And I owe Matt M. several beers.
