A small gathering is being planned for the RubyConf early arrivals. If you will be in Denver on Thursday evening, Oct 19, Ara and I were planning on getting together at the “Southern Sun” in Boulder (not too far from Denver). > **[Mountain Sun Pub | American Restaurant in CO](https://www.mountainsunpub.com/)** > > At the Mountain Sun Pubs and Breweries, our mission is to offer five-star service, fresh, high quality pub fare and finely crafted brews for affordable prices. There are directions on the webpage. If you are interested in coming, please send either myself or Ara a quick e-mail. We’ll guage interest and post more information.

What does transportation from DEN (or the conference hotel) to there look like? I’m sure I’m not the only one who won’t be renting a car… Ben ---

I’m sure I’m not the only one who won’t be renting a car… the bus system is really great. if people are into it tim and i will post links to the bus schedule. of course, it’d make sense for people to car pool too - it’s about a 25 minute drive. btw. the bus goes straight from the airport to the southern sun if anyone wants to head there and get a ride back to denver… the purpose of posting was to gauge interest and work these things out… so let’s here who’s interested, who has cars, etc. and go from there. cheers. -a ---

Aside from the drive up to Boulder, the current snow coming down, rush hour traffic and all that, Ara and I simply can’t afford to buy everyone beer 🙂 Take David up on his offer, though, and head over to the Old Chicagos next door to the hotel.

I’ll be driving to RubyConf from Austin. If anyone would like to ride along, I would enjoy the company. – Matt It’s not what I know that counts. It’s what I can remember in time to use. ---
