I'd love to know if people in the Denver area would be interested in a meetup this summer! I figure there has to be a decent number of mustachians here. I assume it would be a small get together somewhere, but if enough people are interested, we could see about throwing a picnic or something in one of Denver's many lovely parks!

Let me know, as I'm dying to meet some of you!

Otto - My wife and I were just talking today about how great it would be if there were a Mustachian meetup in Denver this summer. We live downtown - would love to throw a frisbee and drink some beers with like minded Denverites. Sloan's Lake, Cheesman, Wash, City Park? Will keep an eye on this to see if enough interest is generated!

OttoVonBisquick · « **Reply #2 on:** June 15, 2015, 07:52:03 AM »

Awesome, that sounds like a great idea. I'm fine with anything, but I'd have to drive if it's somewhere other than Wash (Haven't got my bike from Boulder!) since I need to walk. Maybe if there were grills or someone brought 1+, we could have a cookout where we brag about the cheapest meat we bought ;)

Denverites ought to report in!

I live near wash park and have a grill!

Now we're cooking with gas! (hehe) Or charcoal, or whatever is must mustachian and environmentally friendly lol. If we get enough people, and you brought it, that'd be a hell of a time.

Anybody know anything about reserving public parks, or is the general protocol simply "show up"?

KingsBishop · « **Reply #6 on:** June 15, 2015, 12:29:59 PM »

We could hang this weekend if people are around!

If not, maybe we can target something in Mid July (18th?, 25th?) to give people enough time to clear calendars? We will be in the mountains the weekends of 6/27, 7/4, and 7/11. But if any of those dates work for everyone else, we're happy to join a different time!

Otto I think if the group is a reasonable size we can probably just show up. If it gets real big, we may have to do some research into reserving.

Roboturner · « **Reply #7 on:** June 15, 2015, 03:20:26 PM »

I know wash park has a no glass rule, so only plebeian cans of beer please! Also no need for reservations as far as I know, been to a few cookouts in WP with ~10-15 people and never had a problem

the REAL question is who has a volleyball net?!

What's a reasonable size? I have no real honest clue. 10 people?

Cool, if we get the grill I'm happy to chip in for food.

Any idea what our activities should be? Frisbee? Discussion? I'm new to this whole thing.

It would be fun to meet some locals! My hubs and 2 youngsters would love to join if it is going to be a family-type meetup. We are headed to the mtns this weekend, but early July would work well for us.

OttoVonBisquick · « **Reply #10 on:** June 17, 2015, 08:01:58 AM »

So should we aim to meet, say, Saturday or Sunday at 11? 12?

Or maybe wait until next weekend when we can have more Denver mustachians reporting in?

KingsBishop · « **Reply #11 on:** June 17, 2015, 11:58:28 AM »

Hey Otto - We'd be down to hang Saturday around noon if that works. Sounds like it might be a smaller group this weekend. We will just plan on bringing a picnic, a couple of chairs, maybe a frisbee, and plan to enjoy the warm weather and hang with any mustachians that can join! Then we can plan another date in July?

Sure, make it short and sweet, maybe hash out ways to live a little cheap and whine about things that cost too much!

Saturday at 12, Washington Park sounds good. Where in, though? It's a sizeable place.

La Bibliotecaria Feroz · « **Reply #13 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:47:35 PM »

I'm off this weekend--might try to make it!

KingsBishop · « **Reply #14 on:** June 19, 2015, 10:16:38 AM »

How about the SE side corner of the park? (Louisiana and Gilpin)

Sounds good to me. So a final meetup details for all those who are interested (Everyone should show up!)

Saturday, June 20, at the SE corner of washington park (Louisiana and Gilpin)

Bring your good attitude and frugal idealism.

Guizmo · « **Reply #16 on:** June 22, 2015, 07:42:35 AM »

Ahhh I wish I would have seen this earlier!

If you all wanna get together again in July, let me know! I'll be back in town after July 14.

Louis the Cat · « **Reply #17 on:** June 22, 2015, 09:01:24 AM »

Ah, me, too! We'd be up for something in July although we're in Broomfield. Would it be possible to head north a bit? (Not sure what the park situation is in North Denver, we have many lovely parks up here in and around Broomfield.)

Mr Dumpster Stache · « **Reply #18 on:** June 22, 2015, 01:34:46 PM »

If every y'all do something not on a weekend, I might be able to show up. I'll be doing a zoo trip at some point this summer, probably.

How about we make a tentative plan for something like Saturday, July 18, so that perhaps Dumpster can make it if possible, and we can try and maybe throw a mini picnic or cookout and chat it up!

It was a lot of fun meeting with 4 others that frequent the site, and I can guarantee it'd be more fun the more people we had.

Mr Dumpster Stache · « **Reply #20 on:** June 30, 2015, 07:22:29 AM »

Don't plan around me - I work Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Not being able to attend a lot of social events is a small price to pay for having four days off a week!

mobrie · « **Reply #21 on:** July 02, 2015, 04:20:40 PM »

I will be out of town on July 18th, so won't be able to attend this meetup, but just wanted to let you know that there is another Denverite interested in getting together. I know lack of interest/attendance has meant that meetups to fizzle out in other cities. I don't want that to be the case in Denver. I hope these keep happening. I am in Capitol Hill, so city parks work great for me. I will keep watching this thread for future plans.

Guizmo · « **Reply #22 on:** July 05, 2015, 04:12:03 AM »

I would totally be in for July 18!

OttoVonBisquick · « **Reply #23 on:** July 06, 2015, 09:15:55 AM »

Alright, I'll keep everyone posted, but if we could get a roll call for July 18, and I'll reply every time with an updated list, that would probably make it easier.

Also, please list if you can bring anything and if you'd like to request anything in particular!

Attendants:
1. OttoVonBisquick (Can bring food depending on what everyone wants!)
2. Guizmo
3.

SavingMon(k)ey · « **Reply #24 on:** July 11, 2015, 02:09:21 PM »

Darn! I'll be out of town on the 18th, but would love to meet some peeps!

DenverKat · « **Reply #25 on:** July 18, 2015, 09:17:21 AM »

I realize today IS the 18th, but were people still planning on meeting up sometime later this month? The fiance and I live in Cheesman and can bike wherever! Would love to meet Denver-area Mustachians.

DenverGal · « **Reply #26 on:** July 21, 2015, 10:07:26 PM »

I'd be up for meeting, too. Perhaps another one in August?

KateD · « **Reply #27 on:** August 06, 2015, 02:56:46 PM »

I'd love to meet up in August if anyone is interested! We're in the Glendale/Cherry Creek area, anywhere accessible by light rail or bike trails works.

Guizmo · « **Reply #28 on:** August 07, 2015, 05:21:45 PM »

Seems like there is a few of us that could do a meetup in August! Let's choose a date y'all!

Jkurz · « **Reply #29 on:** August 20, 2015, 06:34:24 AM »

Hey there Denverites! I'd like to breathe a little life back into this thread and see if anybody would like to get together in the upcoming weeks. Let's get our tribe on and get together! =)

Any takers?

KateD · « **Reply #30 on:** August 20, 2015, 09:42:25 AM »

I'm in! How about this weekend or next weekend?

Guizmo · « **Reply #31 on:** August 20, 2015, 11:59:33 AM »

I'd be down this Sunday or next weekend.

KateD · « **Reply #32 on:** August 24, 2015, 09:30:49 AM »

To get the ball rolling a bit... How about this Saturday afternoon at Cheesman Park?

Guizmo · « **Reply #33 on:** August 27, 2015, 08:41:07 AM »

I would be up for it, but it doesn't seem like anyone else would.

jwccolorado · « **Reply #34 on:** September 16, 2015, 11:30:42 AM »

Did this meetup happen yet? If not, how about Saturday, September 26 2PM at Wash Park. I'm up in Evergreen, a beautiful place, but surrounded by people living well beyond their means. It would be great to meet some like-minded fugal people!

KateD · « **Reply #35 on:** September 16, 2015, 01:48:53 PM »

I'm in!

slevinthethird · « **Reply #36 on:** September 17, 2015, 10:21:14 PM »

I would be interested in joining as well.

Guizmo · « **Reply #37 on:** September 21, 2015, 01:33:34 PM »

I can go to. What time y'all?

jwccolorado · « **Reply #38 on:** September 21, 2015, 08:29:46 PM »

We're planning for 2pm.

LoveStache · « **Reply #39 on:** September 22, 2015, 01:30:47 PM »

I might be able to come too. How will I know which BBQ is the Mustachian one? Does someone have an MMM flag? :-)

jwccolorado · « **Reply #40 on:** September 24, 2015, 05:31:41 PM »

Sounds like we might have a handful of people, which is great! How about we keep this simple. Lets me at 2pm on the East side of the park where E. Tennessee Ave deadends into the park. Bring your favorite beverage, a snack to share, and a camp chair. If you own a frisbee or corn hole game set, bring that too. (We probably won't have enough people for volley ball.) I don't think the park allows glass containers, so keep that in mind.

I'll be wearing a white ball cap that says "Simms" on it and I have a brown beard. The more MMM's the better!

Great seeing everyone! For the woodworkers, the book I mentioned is The Handyman's Guide by Paul N. Hasluck. I think they sell it under a different name now, so do a search for his name.

The DVD is called the Naked Woodworker and is sold through Lostartpress.com. Don't worry, he wears clothes...

Ah, dang it. I missed it again. I'll try to keep a closer eye on this thread. Really would like to meet some of you in person.

Hi all!

I'm new to Mustachianism and need inspiration and camaraderie on my way! I live in Broomfield and wondered if any of you were interested in doing another meetup? I notice there are a few Broomfielders on the Mustachian Google Map. I added myself as well. It's a nice midpoint between North Denver and Boulder along the 36 corridor. Maybe folks in Louisville and Lafayette could join in as well?
Any interest?

Thanks!

Sarah

Howdy,

This event might not be exactly kid-friendly, but I'd be happy to meet any mustachians that are interested in going.

Bump. Any Summer 2016 meetup action happening? I'm in Westminster (on the Broomfield border) so would love to get together with some more Mustachians either around here or in Denver or Boulder.

I work every other weekend but could do something like August 27-28 or September 10-11.

I am on the other end from CM--NE Denver.
