Summer IB Gathering Up My Way?

One of the Hostages is coming out to Colorado on around the 12th of July this year. DaveinTX reminds me that it would be a handy occasion for an IB gathering out this way. If you’re interested in coming out, let me know in the comments. So far I have:

  • The Hostage
  • DinTX

That was easy.

Also, let me know what you’d like to do. The Hostage was thinking about river rafting: you can also hike, check out the cool downtown area in Denver, check out the cool-but-hippie-infested Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, go egg Ward Churchill’s house, wash my car, or walk my dog. Unrelenting fun!!

And don’t worry about leaving cyberspace: I run a secured Wireless G network on a DSL modem that gives me 50 - 150 Mbps download speed. We have 3 laptops for your amusement if you don’t want to schlep your own.

Bonus: if you come out, it might motivate me to finish that flipping bathroom.

UPDATE: That date doesn’t seem to be all that popular. If other dates are preferable, put them in the comments, and we can try to pick the date that works the best for the most.

UPDATE II: This is obviously going to require a little more organization. So here goes. Here’s a table of weekends in July and August. As you all give me your availability, I’ll fill it in. Y = Yes, M=Maybe, N=No.

Name 7/12 7/19 7/26 8/2 8/9 8/16
DinTX Y Y Y      
eddiebear N   Y      
Lipstick N          
Mr. Matamoros Y Y N Y Y M
NiceDeb M   N      
RG & The Missus N N N      
The Hostage Y

    Well crap.

    I’ll be on vacation then.

    Why does everything exciting happen at the same time and the rest of the year is so slow?

  2. geoff Says:

    Maybe you can yell at PJM.

  3. geoff Says:

    Which reminds me, I should check to make sure those are still her plans.

  4. eddiebear Says:

    If only the 21st-26th were available.

  5. geoff Says:

    Well it’s available for me. I’m willing to go with whatever date is the best for everybody.

  6. nicedeb Says:

    Actually, that date works out well for us, if I can talk my husband into it. My husband’s sister lives in Denver.

  7. nicedeb Says:

    We may be going to upstate NY around the 4th of July, so that will be a lot of traveling.

  8. geoff Says:

    Yeah, we’re going to Phoenix on the 4th, so I understand the traveling thing.

    Does eddiebear’s later date work better?

  9. nicedeb Says:

    No, the girls have the St. Louis An Samhra Feis that weekend.

  10. Dave in Texas Says:

    An Samhra Feis? Isn’t that snake handling with funny hats?

    I’m fairly open in July. Planning ahead lets me adjust,

  11. nicedeb Says:

    A chart!!11!

    Excellent work, Geoff.

    An Samhra Feis? Isn’t that snake handling with funny hats?

    Snake handling my @#$%^&* .

    Ya goober, ya!

  12. Retired Geezer Says:

    Put the Geezers down for no in July but leave August blank. We’re not even sure of a maybe.

  13. eddiebear Says:

    The Missus and I will confer. We may limit our duties to Toddler Friendly stuff. But STL to Colorado is an easy run.

  14. Tushar Says:

    Geoff, fill the empty TD tags with Tab character, which is produced by following sequence of chars (without space) & n b s p ;

    Then the table will look like this: Hope it works.

    FAIL!!

    Crap! Sorry about that. You can delete my miserable comment.

  16. Cathy Says:

    We/I have lots of folks to bum off of so that would not be a problem for us.
    The timing would be one issue. Getting there is another issue.
    Batman and I will talk and get back with ya.

    Thanks for taking this step.

  17. geoff Says:

    Tushar: Does the table look funky to you? In my browser (Firefox) it looks fine.

  18. nicedeb Says:

    The chart looks fine to me.

    Tushar’s comment though…….???

  19. Mr Matamoros Says:

    Hey, I think I can do that! I need to go to Denver anyway…

  20. Mr Matamoros Says:

    7/12, 7/19 = Y; 7/26 = N…8/2, 8/9 = Y; 8/16 = M

  21. Tushar Says:

    geoff,

    It looks funny in my Internet Explorer. The empty cells look different than the filled cells. Firefox is smart enough to render them uniformly. IE ain’t.

  22. geoff Says:

    Another non-standard HTML interpretation by Microsoft.

  23. geoff Says:

    All right - I put in the blank space codes.
