Talk:Denver, Colorado

I'm wondering if we should combine the other four graticules around Denver into this page. I happen to live in the southwest one and am beginning to wonder if this should be an all day event for the driving rather than just meeting at 4 on Saturdays. -Michael

-It is possible we should combine them all.

-A thought - Maybe we should write a small script or manually do the math to find the centroid coordinate of the four location points for the Saturday meets, for maximum attendance?

Denver has been combined into one article. As to finding locations, I think it'll be pretty easy and obvious which one is closest most of the time, but we can always discuss which one to go to.

• For the first Saturday, I say we find the easiest of the 4 points and encourage that to be the primary meetup location.

• I added a Facebook group (if Toronto can do it, so can we!)

Geohash - Denver: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=23222385469 (hopefully that will bring in a few more people)

Who made it to the SW point today? I'd like to keep stats on everyone. Akedrou? Are you on the partisipants list? I may head out to that one as well. -Damien

Well, uh, Keenesburg Saturday (NE quadrant)?

It seems there is a problem with the Geohashing Coordinate Calculator. Every time the update button is clicked, a new geohash point is generated. Any one able to work out the point by hand?

I'm totally not seeing that, and my coordinates match the "canonical" coordinates listed from the main page. 0.1266480113970560, 0.5475331240942810 --Doug

Saturday the 7th Destination

First Saturday is actually the 7th; June 1st is a Sunday (I edited the page to fix that) --Doug 19:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Is there going to be a new theme for this? - Michael

Maybe pick something related to the Friday comic? --Jeffhutch103 23:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Are you thinking hats or car mines? The latter might affect our carpooling choices. - Karmen

Remote mines! Like from Goldeneye 64! You know how amazing it would be if everyone showed up wearing a black hat? -Michael

Somebody is editing the Saturday locations using the Friday geohash points. I'm going to put the corrected locations up now, but they might get overwritten. if that happens, please make the page revert to my edit (as i have to leave to work and don't have internet), the one showing the SW location inside lockheed martin. - Rich (--Booger 15:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC))

Yeah, my bad, that was me and I figured out my error.  :P - Michael

It was me, too. Sorry! Next time, I'll drink coffee first, then check the coordinates. - Karmen

Not sure if I will make this one. Fort Collins is a long drive from Colorado Springs for just a few hours. Is anyone in Denver willing to carpool? I wouldn't mind driving to Denver then hitching a ride the rest of the way. --Jeffhutch103 19:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I am north of Denver a bit, but I have 1 spot... see the page under carpooling. - Mario

i'm curious about the parking situation at this place. the streetview doesn't show much of a shoulder along the road... anyone have any ideas where vehicles can be left so as to not be too much in the way? - Rich

It looks like there is enough room on the side for one car... and it's fenced off, suggesting private property. I guess we'll just have to see. -Michael

I suppose we should have alternate meeting locations in mind to move to once we know what the G-SPOT looks like (har har). the closest appealing looking park/open area is Westfield park (link) to the north/northeast, Seneca St between harmony and horsetooth. alternatively the horsetooth reservoir area could be interesting. i don't know much of anything about fort collins, so i would defer to others' judgement, but that's what looks best to me. - Rich

Hah. sitting in the parking lot of Johnson Elementary next to said park, there's an open access point! So far i appear to be the only one here, besides the little league team in the ballfield. - Rich :D

Note from Randall

Wow, congrats on getting so much together so fast! I look forward to seeing pictures and reading accounts. --Xkcd 18:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)Xkcd
