Dave's Trip to Denver

[Valar Morghulis]

So, this looks like it is happening.

It will be a Thursday night arrival - Monday afternoon departure.

I really want to make the Vikings game - it would be the best weather, it would allow me to complete a half marathon in Boulder while i am there as well. Unfortunately, when i spoke to my boss today she advised me that i am on a seminar then - and getting out of it will be difficult (but not impossible).

Next best for me is the Packers game, the time off from work will be easy, it is the cheapest flight.

After that it will be the Pats - which would be awesome because it is the pats lol, but i would need to fly in on the Friday as opposed to the thursday which limits my drinking time!

I could also do the Baltimore game.

If none of those dates will suit, it will need to be 2016.

I know it would be best to coincide this with the annual tailgate - but, if i could not make that weekend for whatever reason, how many people on here would be interested in a low key meat up?

I guess what i am asking is if i just book the most convenient flight for me - will there be anyone around to get drunk with on either of those three dates - even if it is not the annual tailgate - guys local to Denver i am looking at you?

There are people from this site at every home game. Without a doubt there will be people to meet up with and have a few, pregame, game, postgame.

If I am in town I am game. I bet a lot of the locals would. Ive met a few on several occasions. Never met Shake though. I havent seen P post here in a while. I hope she is doing well, she is usually always meeting up.

[MasterShake]

Dave I always try and hit up the get togethers if I can. I live and work in downtown Denver so it is pretty easy for me, especially now that my kiddo is older. Just keep us posted! I met quite a few of these guys a at the infamous Tebow/Chicago game and I got to have some drinks with SR, PnBronco, Dogfish, Broncojoe, and other. Great group of people! If you make it out for the Minnesota game I will see you at the tailgate as well if that is the game we do.

[MOtorboat]

I'll go to Denver if you go to Denver.

I have to meet this weird Scot who likes American football.

[Dapper Dan]

Your boss is a woman?

[BroncoWave]

Your boss is a woman?

#ObamasAmerica

wait...

[ShaneFalco]

ill have to see what tickets me and my friends get when they go on sale.

But im always in Denver bro!

[Valar Morghulis]

The Colorado Buffaloes are playing the Oregan Ducks on the Sat of the Vikings game at home.

Whats Boulder like - as I might end up staying there?

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

That football game will likely be 82-0. I wouldn't pay to go see it. The Buffaloes are possibly the worst division 1 football team out there.

Lol, the rams are away that weekend as well.

I will check the green bay weekend for a more favorable fixture!

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Whenever you go to Denver Dave I'll go if the resources are there. This year is tough for me because we need a new roof.

[Rex]

I'll go to Denver if you go to Denver.

let's you and me do the packers game

[MOtorboat]

Eff off.

[BroncoNut]

Eff off.

you are like that though

[Valar Morghulis]

Providing work let me take the time off -

Arrive Thursday, stay downtown Denver
Shopping and sightseeing in Denver during the day on Friday and pub in the evening.
Travel to boulder on the Sat - watch the buffaloes. Night out in boulder.
Half marathon in boulder on the Sunday morning.
Game against Vikings in the afternoon.
Night out after the game
Travel home Monday.


This is a very rough outline, subject to change.

If work can't get me replaced - gapster, it will be me and thee for the pack.

Any other suggestions?

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I would be cautious of doing anything the morning of the game. It will he a 2pm kick off and you will want to be at the stadium at least an hour before kickoff.

Add in travel time from Boulder and you'll be cutting it close.

Plus the tailgating! At least 2 hours before the game is when I'll arrive. Last time I think people were there tailgating at 10am

[spikerman]

Dave, when will you know for sure?

[Pudge]

Plus the tailgating! At least 2 hours before the game is when I'll arrive. Last time I think people were there tailgating at 10am

I usually show up at nine for a 2 pm kickoff to ensure my favorite spot

[Davii]

Don't plan anything else on Game day Dave

[Valar Morghulis]

Dave, when will you know for sure?

I should find out on Tuesday.

[Valar Morghulis]

Cheers for the advice, that's a real shame because that running route looked amazing.

I will scratch that from the plan.

[MOtorboat]

The start time for the run is 0700.

with the altitude it will take me longer - but I still figured I could be at the stadium for twelve.......I just never realised how hard you guys partied lol

[MOtorboat]

And Dave, why are you staying in Boulder?

[Valar Morghulis]

And Dave, why are you staying in Boulder?

It was to allow more ready access to the boulder reservoir run and the buffs Game.

I asked what it was like, but no one replied telling me to avoid it

[MOtorboat]

I'd actually think you'd enjoy Boulder, but I think you might miss the Denver experience. Let me know which weekend it is, and I'll see if I can come in on Saturday (I can't on Friday) and we can split costs on a room downtown and take public transportation over to the game Sunday.

[Dapper Dan]

I agree. That dirty hippy will fit right in.

[Valar Morghulis]

I agree. That dirty hippy will fit right in.

I will fit inside your ass

[Dapper Dan]

Now you're starting to sound like someone from Denver.

[Valar Morghulis]

Now you're starting to sound like someone from Denver.

Lol, stop jerking off

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

If you really think you can be at the stadium by noon you should do it Dave. Are you considering how the altitude would affect your run?

[Valar Morghulis]

Are you considering how the altitude would affect your run?

Not as much as I should be.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Not as much as I should be.

You live close to sea level, right Dave?

[Valar Morghulis]

You live close to sea level, right Dave?

Yeah - will it hit me really hard?

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Yeah - will it hit me really hard?

Yes it will. I live at 2500 feet and I got fairly winded walking up to the top of the stadium.

I wasn't as well conditioned as you are, but I was in decent shape at the time. I had a regular maintenance routine at the gym back then.

I'm not sure what the elevation in Boulder is, but Denver is over 8k feet.

[underrated29]

Yeah - will it hit me really hard?

The alcohol will

[Valar Morghulis]

I'm not sure what the elevation in Boulder is, but Denver is over 8k feet.

I think i might look for a 10km rather than the half marathon then.

I do like going for runs in new places - i remember running into the wrong part of cape town and into a south african township - hopefully Denver will not be quite as eventful!

[Davii]

Yeah - will it hit me really hard?

Dave, it will kick you in your face. I felt fine until mile 3 and then the fatigue set in. I was definitely getting less oxygen and I was spent. I made it through to mile 6 but my times got worse each mile, and by mile 5-6 I felt like I was dragging two lead weights.

Whatever impact you think it will have, double it.

[Valar Morghulis]

I need to remember - Colorado is probably about the size of the UK - so i need to keep checking things out with you natives.

Where is this in relation to Downtown Denver, Mile High and Boulder??? "Prairie Gateway trail in Commerce City"

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I would use Google maps if I were you Dave.

[Valar Morghulis]

I would use Google maps if I were you Dave.

I have and to me, it looks really close to downtown Denver, I just want to check

[underrated29]

Never heard of the trail but commerce city is not close. It's like a 20-30 minute drive from Denver.

Edit- should also add it's not close to Boulder either...probably farther.

[underrated29]

Red rocks, Morrison, Waterton canyon, Boulder, roxborough are all good places to see while running.....like commerce city tho, none are especially close to Denver. Morrison is probably the closest.

[Valar Morghulis]

I wanted to try and run on an organized route - but **** it. I will just go for a run around the local area and see how and where I end up

[Valar Morghulis]

Anyone like Ben Howard ? - he is playing at red rocks on 2 Oct 15, if I make that weekend, I will be going to this gig

[turftoad]

I wanted to try and run on an organized route - but **** it. I will just go for a run around the local area and see how and where I end up

Dave, FYI, you're not gonna be there for long. You can see a lot more of Colorado in a car. Just sayin.

[Valar Morghulis]

Just checked out car rental.

$166.

Not to bad.

All coming together nicely - just need the nod from work tomorrow and I can confirm when.

I really hope it is for the vikes - that means I can go to

Downtown Denver Friday day exploring
Red Rocks on Friday night to see Ben Howard
Boulder Saturday to watch the buffaloes
Early morning run somewhere on Sunday
Game day
Home time Monday afternoon

[Valar Morghulis]

So.....I just got the time off authorised for the Vikings game.

When are we going to go firm on the annual broncos forums tailgate? I can pretty much make any date now.

Got some finer details to iron out with the wife - but i am 95% in.

[Valar Morghulis]

Stupid question time...

I have only ever driven a car with a gear stick in the middle of the floor - do most rental cars in the states come with this - or do you have some kid of crazy yank system for changing gear??

[underrated29]

I had a yanking joke, but I just couldnt put it together.
So instead ill just answer, we have automatics mostly, the manual transmissions are standard just like any other car.

[weazel]

rentals are 99% automatics... unless you find a place that rents high end sports cars.

I was thinking about renting a monster truck - because that is what all you guys drive - right?

I'm about 1700 km from Denver, I don't think that would work out.

i dont want problems - give me solutions. I will give you 50 for gas.

If I'm pulling the travel trailer I can drive about 4hrs on a tank so about 400km on $130

[Valar Morghulis]

[Valar Morghulis]

Red Rocks Amphitheatre Question

Reserved or General Admission Tickets - or does it not really matter? Is one closer to the band? Or is standing?

[Valar Morghulis]

Cheapest ticket on NFL Ticket Exchange for the Vikings game is currently $185 - i am guessing this is because they are not on general release yet?

What is a more realistic price?

[Valar Morghulis]

Flights Booked!

I am coming to Denver!

[Valar Morghulis]

Guys - trust me, i hate nothing more than someone dropping in on me........but i am dropping in on you lot!

If anyone would like to meet up at

Red Rocks on Friday 02 Oct 15 before, during or after the Ben Howard gig
Folsom Field on Sat 03 Oct 15 before, during or after the Buffs game
Boulder Rez on Sun 03 Oct 15 at 0700 hrs to go for a 10km run (i sacked the half marathon after the altitude warnings)

Or any other time for beer that would be cool.

If not no problems, i am quite self sufficient and will see some of you at the tailgate.

Also - any help in sourcing a ticket for the Vikings game would be greatly appreciated.

Dave and his geography fail makes me laugh. I think outside of the handful that live in Denver, I might be the closest, depending on where Pudge is on any give week. That's the equivalent of you driving to France, Dave.

[Davii]

I might have to make my 3rd annual forum tailgate

[Valar Morghulis]

Well, if you are ever in France let me know!

[Valar Morghulis]

Apart from the obvious things - i am looking forward to the following:

Eating in a Roadside Diner - and shouting over the waitress (who will obviously be really hot, and also kinda skanky) for some refillable coffee
Visiting a sports bar
Getting asked for ID when i buy a beer in an old fashioned "long bar" like MO's Tavern from the Simpsons

2 of these 3 are plausible.

I will take those odds, I better remember my ID

[underrated29]

Where are you staying again? Sheridan?


Still unsure if ill be town but if so sat night i could meet up with you guys most likely

[BroncoJoe]

I look forward to meeting you, Dave. Just bear in mind, if you try to meat me, I am a licensed CC person.

I'll put a .357 bullet right in your nutsack. At least that'll solve your recent problem of racking yourself.

I took the class a few months ago. I'm leaning towards a 1911 .45. Do you really carry a .357?

[BroncoJoe]

I took the class a few months ago. I'm leaning towards a 1911 .45. Do you really carry a .357?

Actually, I carry a .44 Magnum Auto-Mag and it holds a 300-grain cartridge. And, if properly used, it can remove the fingerprints.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

CC? That's a lot of pistol to hide.

[BroncoJoe]

CC? That's a lot of pistol to hide.

But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?

I was going to say I have room in my pants, but am afraid that would backfire badly for me.

[underrated29]

You're so full of shit - you never show up.


Cuz I'm always out of town....every time I've been in town I've made it.

[Valar Morghulis]

I know the internet is an amazing thing, and there is probably nothing you guys can't get, but I plan on bringing Irn-Bru and Buckfast - two drinks that are incredibly popular in Scotland.

I do not think you guys well have had the privilege of trying these - anything else, just let me know.

[Valar Morghulis]

When I went to nfl games at Wembley, we were only allowed to take NFL approved clear bags into the ground........ Is that the same at Mile high?

[spikerman]

When I went to nfl games at Wembley, we were only allowed to take NFL approved clear bags into the ground........ Is that the same at Mile high? yes, if you want to spend the money people are usually selling them outside the stadium.

[Valar Morghulis]

Why is that, is it just a money making scheme or is it something to do with security?

[Davii]

Why is that, is it just a money making scheme or is it something to do with security?

Supposedly security

[Valar Morghulis]

Supposedly security

i can sort of see an argument for that, but i think the security benefits may be a distant second to the profit in the eyes of the NFL!

After the Boston Marathon bombing they want to be able to see into the bags. I get it.

A couple weeks after the bombing at the Boston marathon I went to a Loyola graduation in the Superdome and the woman in front of us took a big ass stock pot and spoon out of her bag and started banging on it when her son walked across. I mean, good on your kid, but really? A big ass pot? Who the **** let you through security with that? I felt like I was surrounded by idiots with no thoughts about personal security. Then again, I feel like that a lot. Am I the only one constantly assessing every situation and location for possible threats? Everytime I walk in somewhere I take a mental note of exits, escape routes, who's around me, etc. Am I crazy? Lol

[Valar Morghulis]

You are not crazy, you are just Jason Bourne.

But I do know what you mean.

No, not without proof of citizenship. Of course, if you were in Idaho I would just take you 30 minutes from the city and let you shoot my guns, after a discussion on gun safety.

well i will only be there to run round the resovoir - which probably sounds horrendous to lots of folk, but i cant wait!

how long to drive to boulder from downtown denver anyway?

There's a lot of construction on Highway 36 going on right now. I'd plan on at least 45 minutes to an hour.

[underrated29]

I second that. Id say about 45. Depends on the time of day you do the driving. The construction is bad news bears

[Valar Morghulis]

i will be driving at dawn - so i would imagine it will be quite quiet

Are you going to be able to handle sitting in the proper side of the vehicle and driving on right side of the road?

haha - yeah - i basically learned to drive in Germany, and have lived in europe for about 8 years, so i should be cool.

are you coming or not?

thanks for your concern.......

are you coming or not?

Probably not. I might come later in the year. I've got too many responsibilities right now. My Mom and step Dad help me at the shop and they left a couple days ago. I'm stuck babysitting a chihuahua puppy, 3 condos for friends of mine, I've got a boat inspection to renew a permit and who knows when they'll come, and it's rainy season so I've got to go check the boat every 1 or 2 days to make sure the pumps are working, run the motors to keep the batteries charged.

Basically shit that I don't trust someone else to do. If my folks come back before that weekend, I am going to come last minute. Mom's got several doctor appointments in Denver that could take a while. I'm not happy about it but it is what it is.

You need a cab to get 5 miles, but you easily jog 10 miles on a regular basis.

It's a liberal city. I'm sure no one owns a weapon of any kind. Maybe he will be hugged and tolerated to death.

[Pudge]

Though there have been some upgrades to the room I would never stay here again. It doesn't matter how nice the room is when the guy in the room next to you is beating up a girl at 3am, this was after an hour of more of large groups hanging outside,shouting, fighting and slamming or kicking doors doors. We did alert the front desk which achieved nothing. Not that it matters in the big picture but the wifi also had the maximum number of people logged in at 5:30 in the morning. The MOST concerning thing however was missing fire extinguishers. When I mentioned it to the front desk I was told they have been stolen, 4 of them in total. So I guess if there is a fire you just have to improvise?!? When I mentioned the fights the previous nights I was told that since "the boss" told them to start accepting cash it's been happening "again". This hotel couldn't care less about your safety, comfort or well being. Accident waiting to happen

Exactly, looking back I probably should have checked out because my son was with me and he was only 13 at the time. The place I stayed at was much more of a dive than where you're staying. I would feel fine there.

I probably shouldn't feel so comfortable in the ghetto.

Google Valley Hi in Denver Colorado and read the reviews. You'll enjoy it.

Dave, I've completely failed you on the CU tailgate front. The team has been so bad that all of our circles of fans have disbanded in recent years - my cousin who typically hosted the tailgate is spending the fall in Florida, and my other friend has a newborn and is taking a hiatus from hosting this year. I will not be in attendance either, so it looks like our meat up will have to be at the tailgate or other weekend festivities.

no problems dude - thanks for thinking of me.

I am sure by game time on the sat i will be in jail anyways

Also, Dave, don't listen to these guys telling you to head into the mountains. Sure - the scenery is great and the mountains are great, but there is plenty to do and see right in and around the city without having to drive 60 miles. Blackhawk is cool if you're looking for some degenerate gambling, but you can get that all the time in the UK.

You should definitely go for a run/walk at red rocks. You could also check out Mt Falcon, which has some nice hikes/trails/views and is really easy access from the city.

I will definitely be at the tailgate, but will head home for the game. Can't find a descent ticket, and don't want to sit by myself.

Not sure about Saturday - Dave will be a the Buffs game, then has a race or something Sunday AM, so he probably won't want to be out too late (lame). Looks like Friday is a possibility.

We had a good time at the Platte River Bar and Grill last year, but it's not really near light rail and pretty far south from where Dave is staying - if he decides to come out Sat PM.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Has anyone told Dave which side of the road to drive on?
