Feb 01, 06 11:16 am — hey y'all...i haven't posted much lately, but still check in every day.
just wanted to get some info, if any trusty madvillians had any...i'm going to be in denver next week for 2 nights (thursday and friday night) with nothing to do!
any grand suggestions? places to eat? something i should really really see?
help me out! i know you can do it
this is all the beginning of a very long ass trip to a very cold place. i have to take a psych evaluation before i go. you think they'd be LOOKING for crazy people to send to Antarctica for the winter.
thanks guys!
i'm going for a psych evaluation for a job.
i somehow doubt i'll get time to ski =(
plus i don't want to bust myself up before i start this new job ::grin::
have fun though!
Eat at the Y 
Just make sure you find the low fat versions. Fat is bad for you.
i'd recommend some mile high drinking
Does that mean that every person who gets laid in Denver is a member of the mile high club?
Never been, you might find this helpful Have a great time.
thanks zem!
as always, you're the bomb! 
I only know about Aspen and Vail, sorry. Have a fun and safe weekend. 
Good stuff to eat:
Cheaper -
Celtic Tavern (really!)
Las Delicias (authentic mex)
Painted Bench (good for lunch)
Metropolis coffee (for coffee. BEST caps and espresso in Denver)
Parisi (Italian deli. a bit outside metro area)
Not-so-cheap (but great) -
Sparrow
Somethin' Else (all small plates, i.e. tapas style eating)
Mizuna ($$$)
Duo (small menu, but the best chef in Denver)
Rioja
Bistro Vendome
Domo (great Japanese, but $$$, better for lunch)
Sushi Tazu
Barolo Grill (upscale Italian)
Vesta Dipping Grill (fun way to eat, excellent chef and kitchen staff)
As always, avoid the chain restaurants!
thanks spud....i knew i could count on you for food!
i'll save the expensive stuff for if my uncle comes up from colorado springs to take me out to dinner
Doing a winterover? I've been thinking of applying for that myself. Check out the orientation material at Big Dead Place.
yeah! i'm doing a winterover ::grin::
i checked out big dead place...lots of good stuff there!
let me know if you want more info - i suggest applying WICKED early. they hired me wicked late, and i'm jumping through insane hoops to get this shit done.

Tasty
Whoa what a concidence, I'm actually driving with a buddy to Denver this evening. We plan on spending the weekend skiing and I'll be back next Tuesday.
What are you going there for?
I'd recommend skiing, skiing, and some skiing.
