Denver trip week of Aug. 7

I am flying into Denver on August 6th and will be staying at the Red Lion in Central denver for the week. I have 8 interviews during the business days for accounting jobs, but other than that I will be looking for shit to do as I will be by myself for the most of the week. Any ideas or mags want to meet up for some drinks or something? Will have a rental car. Hopefully all goes well and I get a job offer and can pack up my shit and move on Aug. 28th. Will be looking for an apartment for me and a bud moving together for Pittsburgh. Surely these companies would not fly me out and pay if they were not interested after the phone interviews right?:confused:

Peace

Cool. Thursday the 10th I have an interview in boulder from 2 to 5 and it is not really that far for another night. Maybe we can get a group of mags together. What is your favorite bar/bistro in Boulder?

oooh, way too many to list a "favorite". The Med has a good happy hour, really good food for cheap (drinks not as cheap). Bacaro has a decent happy hour and a rooftop bar. Lazy Dog for good rooftop but basic bar/food, same for the Foundry or the West End, the Rio for stumbling drunk margs, Corner Bar for mellow hanging out/food/drinks, Walnut for good brewpub food/beer, Southern Sun for non-downtown good beer/food, I could go on and on...

Rio margs taste like paint thinner.

there has not been a truer statement on this board in quite some time. especially that beer which comes from the sacred nitro tap.

the best beer at the Sun is a beer that they don't even really make. Called the "Kind Crippler", ask for it sometime, you won't be disappointed.

14th Street Bar used to be a favorite. Great happy hour apps and Chimay on tap. http://14thstreetbarandgrill.com/

Southern Sun beer creates the nastiest hangovers on the planet
-great taste, great buzz, but makes me feel wretched the next day---i would be cool if they would atleast filter one of them.

oh yeah--good luck with the interviews

Boulder is full of hippies, don't go there! ;)

Where do you want to live in Denver?

I may be up for some drinks.

Hey thanks guys. I am not sure where I am going to live. It depends on where I get a job at. I have interviews in Boulder, Downtown, Broomfield, and the Tech center. It will all depend. I don't want to commute to far, but I want to live as close to 70 as possible...or another fast route to the mountains. Have any of you tried renting a cheap crappy place around denver and then as cheap as possible (not going to be real cheap i know) place in the mountains? We are trying to do this, thus we will be looking for ghetto housing around Denver. I think we should just pic a place and a night and meet and get drunk.

Peace

Coloirman...I would meet up with in Shadyside, but I have so much packing and prep work still to do for next week, but defenetly when I get moved to Boulder in 3 weeks. I will have my laptop with me next week and I will have internet at the hotel. If someone picks a night that is good for them, I will be in since all my interviews should be done by 5 or 6.

Hey guys,

I just arrived in Denver and got into my hotel. Listen to this....I had to rent a car and becuase I am under 25 I hit wit with a 150 bucks for underage charge, then I had to pay like 15% taxes....then I go to my hotel (which was the cheapest I could find that still had internet) and have to pay another 15% in taxes. I am flat broke! If I don't get a job this week, I am not going to be able to afford to move out....I could be living in my car in 3 weeks! IT fucking sucks how expensive all this is.

I have to try and convince some company's for a little help. I might be up for drinks later in the week if I have some interviews go well, but right now I am just pissed and stressed about the whole money thing. I hope I don't have to call home to borrow some funds for the week:(

Peace

sorry man. that thing about being under 25 and renting a car is B.S. hope your interviews go well, and if you decide to get out and have some fun I'll buy you some beers.
