That works for me. Anyone who wants to ride with me, please send me where
you would like to meet, so I can plan the best route and figure out what
time we should arrange to meet up. You can ping me separately if you like
so we don't spam the list or have addresses recorded. I'll have 3 seats, 4
if someone doesn't mind the middle in the back, so first-come first-served.
I think given the greater interest in Denver and the fact we'll have better
participation there, it would probably be wise to move it back there. Any
objections to that?

Hmm... Alright, this is what I propose:
It looks like we have some people for whom Boulder is much easier and some
people for whom Denver is much easier. It also looks like we might all be a
little strapped for cash, so we're looking for ways to minimize investment
in transportation.
If we went to Denver, it looks like we would all have a chance to make it
there if Gaurav Vaidya, Isarra Yos and I hopped into Todd Allen's car. I
could even contribute a little towards gas. I'm hoping Isarra could meet us
in Boulder, or we could somehow detour towards a good pickup location. We
could then meet Matthew Bowker and Wilhelm Meis in Denver.
If we did Boulder, then it looks like it would be just Gaurav, Isarra,
Todd, and myself (and possibly

Sorry, I forgot your real name :-( ). We could visit the sites listed on the
page<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_America/201…ve>,
but having more people would be nicer, of course.
So here's what I propose: Anyone who is absolutely gung-ho about about
taking America on behalf of Wikipedia this weekend should definitely sign
up in the likely
attendees<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Americ…ection.
In this editor's humble opinion, I think that whoever has the
balls, or lady balls, to sign up as an attendee of high-likelihood on the
site should have the greater say-so in how we organize this year's event.
However, there is another option... we could be so bold as to take back
America at two locations, in both Denver and Boulder... but I understand
that could take away from the spirit of Colorado Wikimedians all working as
one group...
So, let's do this: Since this year's Boulderites and Denverites are so
landed, whoever is on the sign up sheet by, let's say mid-to-late-day
tomorrow, should have the most say in how we might go about organizing
this, giving great deference to their geological location. And I swear to
everyone, if I had more money and a car, I would drive all of you anywhere.
What are your thoughts on such a plan?
By the way, as a completely irrelevant aside, I just saw the Let It Be
movie from the 70s and it was incredible. Highly recommended :-)

This is the exact same problem I've had at all of the previous meet ups
we've had in Colorado. That's why I was so excited about this one - I
might actually be able to drive there without paying an arm and a leg for
gas (as a college student - I literally cannot afford to drive out to
Boulder).
Is there any chance we can keep it in Denver? I haven't signed up
because I've been working to clear conflicts, and that appears to have
happened.
Thanks much!

Coming from Colorado Springs, Denver is easier for me than anywhere in
northern Colorado. But I guess anywhere other than Co Spr or Pueblo is a
significant drive for me anyway.
