I am going to be in Denver from Sunday, June 17 till Friday, June 22. I usually have a 2 day trip up there but this is a longer session with a new client...
What is there to do in this city? Anyone going to be there during those times? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

go to lodo or 16th street, lots of cool restaurants and good beer. the breckenridge brewery is down there, i'm sure dauss knows of more places.
there's always the normal tourist stuff, but if you could get some time to go to ft. collins or boulder, definitely do it. boulder has all kinds of crazy hippie stuff and good restaurants. ft. collins has the new belgium brewery and a couple other smaller ones. lots of outdoor activities, you just have to find them. |

A co-worker and I will be sharing a car so I'm probably going to take a cab to most places. The refinery itself is in Commerce City, CO (just north east of downtown Denver, where the old airport used to be) and I think the hotel is close by. Shouldn't be too expensive of a cab ride into downtown. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

hey dont hate on the Rox, they are at least decent this year.
LoDo is fun and then there are the Microbreweries. You should definately check out Great Divide brewery, they are located near Coors field and they have some of the best beer I have drank. Another one I recommend is Breckenridge. If you havent been to Boulder its not too far and its a pretty cool college town. There are also the mountains and parks that aren't too far. The views from some of them are pretty impressive. I envy you, I love Denver and hopefully i'll make it back some day to live there. |

Well, I know for certain that I was at the same refinery as Dogmeat now as it is the only one in Colorado
 (well, it used to be two different ones but it got merged).Interestingly enough, their feed stock here is partially tar sands coming from Canada. The refinery folks and I got into a discussion about the moving of refineries to the Middle East since the cost of producing there is much lower than producing here. I'm having fun. LoDo tonight. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Well, I am going to be in Denver again next week and my girlfriend is flying up for the 4th. We are going to head down to Colo Springs on the 3rd, visit Pike's Peak and Garden of the Gods then head back to Denver and probably visit a few microbreweries and watch the fireworks.
