Because I received no affirmative responses on wiki or on mailing list, this event won't be happening.  

Laura, I'm sorry things didn't work out.  Mostly my fault, I should have been planning ahead.

Can absolutely no one carpool from Aurora?

Id love to come meet... well, all of the folks, really, but Im afraid from where I am busing in just wouldnt be feasible, unless someone in the Lafayette area would be able to give me a ride or something.

Hope you all who can make it have fun, at any rate, and greet the others with awesome for the rest of us.

OK, I'm reviving this dead thread… but they're rolling in this weekend.

So, it sounds like the plan is too meet the train (18:38 local time… in Denver), then take the group out to dinner afterwards.

Could I please get a rough head count (I'll be posting on Wikipedia too … ) of how many people are going to be there?  Carpooling is possible, but we need to co-ordinate that soon.  Also, if you have any ideas for a relatively inexpensive place that isn't too far from the train station, please mention it.

Sorry about the late notice, it's my fault.  I should have been thinking ahead.

So, I've been in contact with [[User:LauraHale]] , and she's coordinating efforts for a few Wikimedia Australia people to come to Colorado to take pictures and write articles about a Paralympic ski event that's happening in Vail this December.  ( https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:IPC_Nor-Am_Cup )

I was thinking about it, and how cool would it be if we met them at the train station and welcomed them to the US?
That sounds like a great plan! I should be able to make it, but this semester has been crazy busy, so I won't be able to confirm for sure until a week before. I love Lisa's idea of taking them out to dinner afterwards!

Their train arrives on December 1, at 18:38 (local time, I'm assuming).  A small group of Colorado Wikimedians would go a long way in making them feel welcome.
Yup, the California Zephyr arrives at Denver at 6:38pm [1], so that sounds about right!

cheers,
Gaurav
