Let's close out the year with a final meetup! It's been a good year for
Boulder Wikimedians: we had a (nay, two!) great Wiknics, had a small Wiki Takes America, and set up a mailing list of Coloradan Wikimedians. The plan was to meet up at
Harpo's Sports Grill for lunch, but we're voting for a better place now. I (
User:Gaurav) am heading to Durham, NC all of next semester (January to May), so this might be our last time to hang out before June!
Last minute change: Sorry, peeps! I've just realized that the Southern Sun doesn't open until 11:30am tomorrow. I'll be there from 11am in case anybody shows up, but if you see this, please don't get there until 11:30am or be prepared to sit out in the sun with me. Cheers! --

Harpo's? Really? Why not Southern Sun, Boulder Beer, the Dark Horse, or any other place that isn't filled with blaring televisions?

We did have one <18 Wikipedian at the Wiknik in June, so a place like Dark Horse where they check IDs at the door might not work. Southern Sun should be fine, and I've never been to Boulder Beer! Let's blatantly violate
WP:VOTE and vote on it. Winner on Wednesday is where we'll meet! :-D --

They do not check IDs at the door at the Dark Horse during normal meal hours, FWIW.

I did not know that. Thanks! --

I've never been to Harpo's. All bars will be quiet 11a Saturday. Does it have anything going for it beyond big tables and blaring televisions? -—

I pretty much just picked it because it's where we went for the Wiknic. I'm open to any place -- this suggestion of the Southern Sun interests me strangely. --

I would vote for Southern Sun (beer, very good sammitches, close to BX/BV for us Denver folks), but since I don't know if I can actually go or not yet, I'm just putting it here for now instead of below in the hopes of attracting some folks to the bandwagon.

Oooh, I hadn't thought about the connection for the BV/BX. Southern Sun works for me! --
Gaurav (

Well, even if Siafu's not going, the nearness to BV certainly won't hurt my feelings.
