Saturday Night (Rockies) Fever Party, NLDS Style, WITH DETAILS

PrintWho wants to meet before the game Saturday? It will be a good occasion to meet up with other Purple Row folks, engage in some RockiesNerd talk, maybe have some food and a beer or two (for cheaper than the $6 beers in the stadium). Even if you don't have tickets to the game, you should come. Rockies fans are the most awesome people...well...ever.
I think a few people have expressed interest, so this is now the official discussion of where and when we should meet. I can update this later with details.
Please comment with your interest and more importantly, if you know where you can find cheap drinks on a Saturday evening in LoDo.
(Also, I was going to photoshop an image of John Travolta in Rockies gear, just to make sure everyone got the analogy, but Photoshop kept crashing. It's probably for the best.)
EDIT: We will be meeting up at the Giggling Grizzly (1320 20th street, at 2oth and Market). I was thinking 5 pm. Please come!
Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

I'll be down town already
as the OU watch party game will be that afternoon (1:30 Kick off, so, done about 5pm against the Baylor Bears) at Jackson’s. But if the game runs long, I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to meet up before. After I’m in.
I must pace my drinking Saturday. Maybe in honor of the Baptist Bears I go Diet Coke.
Make it Dr. Pepper.

But brilliant.
I mean, who here didn’t want undeniable proof that John Travolta was a Rockies fan? (and female?)
Never give up, never surrender.
I am speechless with the awesomeness LMAO!!!!
Carlos Gonzalez is amazing.

Gah!
Once again, I implore you to meet up somewhere with videoconferencing capabilities…
(actually, this Saturday isn’t good for me anyway as I will be dress-rehearsing and then performing Verdi’s Requiem with my choir. But go Rockies!!!)
Interested, but not likely to drive from Longmont to LoDo without a ticket
But if there’s a a Sunday game, I could be interested in meeting up then.

Yeah I would probably be able to come
I live really close to down town so it is really easy to get there.

I'm in
I think we should try to find a location where there’s a big screen and audio for the people who wont have tickets.
Does anyone know where that would be?

Okay:
so there it a bit of interest, but nobody knows a good place to meet. And I, for one, am half-heartedly hoping that they move the game to a day where snow and 35 degree weather is not predicted.
I think that’s pretty much the gist of it so far, yes?
Never give up, never surrender.
Someone who lives near downtown and watches Rockies games regularly
just go ahead and name your favorite spot close to the stadium and we will invade. I am not picky and I doubt the rest of us are.
I like the Anthony's Pizza next to Union Station
not exactly in lodo but their pizza is awesome and they have a bar and big screen

I'll be a Jackson's until about 5:30
for the OU watch party, then tear down (which isn’t long). So depends. If it’s between 5:30 and 7:30 game time, lets make it the Giggling Grizzly. If it’s before 5:30..well, I’ll be at Jackson’s.
Sounds like a plan, I'll play it by ear and text you when I'm in the area

When the fans turn blue, it’s Rocktober for the Rockies
By coincidence, my friends suggested meeting at the Giggling Grizzly at 4pm. I just signed up here so you guys probably don’t know me, but I may have 4 extra tickets for Game 4 (U311, 1 row above the purple). I have a waffling friend who hasn’t said yes yet. If anyone is interested, find me there. I will be the one wearing a goatee and my green St Patrick’s Rockies hat (see my profile picture). You can email me to arrange in advance if you want.

I should be easy to spot. I’m not looking to make a profit on them, but you can bribe me with a couple of beers if you want. Section U340.
