Are you going to the Kong Off 3?

[marinomitch13]

Awesome, Jeremy. Glad you could make it.

What day you getting to Denver? Where will you be staying?

[xelnia]

Coming in on Wednesday, late morning-ish, and staying at the Hilton Garden Inn.

Welcome back, Steve!  I was beginning to wonder when we'd hear from you.

Congratulations on your recent 1.058M game.  It must be a great feeling to crack the Top 10.

Maybe.

I want to go, but I'm getting married in 18 days and basically all of this year's spending money has been dumped into the wedding.

We'll see when the time comes. There are a few factors involved. (spare $$$, cost of flight/hotel, if I'm still in the dedicated machine ranks, etc)

Booked my flight.  I'll be there.

Gotta get some practice in before November...

Booking my flight this week. Plan on arriving on Thur and Leaving on Monday.
I know Mitch and a few others are willing to share a room to save on costs which sounds good to me so when/where all?
Can't wait!

Everyone who is thinking of splitting a room with me:

I just started classes this week. By next friday (the 13th! *gasp*) I will have talked with all my teachers about needing to leave for the Kong Off. I will then be buying my tickets and booking a room. I'll put my card down for the room, and people can pay me with cash/check/etc for their portion of the costs on probably Sunday afternoon or Monday morning after the Kong Off. When I book the room, I'll contact you with the room number.

I'll be sure to post the cost per night of the room before I book it so we can all see who wants in and for how long so we can know the expected price per person.

Sounds good Mitch. My plan right now is to leave on Thur and return on Monday.

George Leutz, Youmee and I will be taking a tour of the Denver mint on Wed Nov 13 at 3:30pm.  If anyone is arriving early and interested in going to the Denver mint, you are welcome to join us on the tour.  I believe it will be fairly brief (my guess is 1/2 hour) and it's free.  It's also relatively close to the Crowne Plaza.  You need to leave all your stuff at the hotel as they have a long list of prohibited items:

Permitted items
• A palm sized wallet/change purse that can fit in your pocket.
•Cameras, cell phones. You will be asked to turn off your devices before you enter the building.
•Medical items necessary for the safety and well-being of the visitor.

Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: 
•Handbags, purses, fanny packs (that's American for bum bag), tote bags, backpacks and packages
•Strollers
•Food, drinks, tobacco products, lighters and matches.
•Weapons (including pocket knives and personal protective devices and barrel smashing hammers).

If you are interested, make your reservations early as they fill up pretty far in advance (we missed out last year).  Right now, it's wide open.  Here's a link for reservations:

Yes! I just made reservations for Jeremy and me. I want to see where and how the quarters are made.

Great!  I think I know what Jeremy looks like from fb.  Please introduce yourselves if I/we don't recognize you.

Vincent, you need to get in on this.  I heard they have lots of quarters there and you will need all of them!
