Is anyone in Aurora who wants to carpool? I'm afraid I'll get rather lost
by myself as I've never actually been to the train station before.

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.
