Denver Day 1
Wow! Denver is an awesome city. The SuperShuttle ride in went smoothly, and on the way in I chatted with a librarian from the British Library - neat! I arrived at my hotel at about 6:45pm and had just enough time to discover that yes, it’s a very, very cool hotel. Every floor has a theme, and I’m staying on the Big Hair floor (how did they know that big hair is my eternal quest?). It’s stocked with pictures of ’80s hair bands, Donald Trump, and a 6 foot tall cutout of Marge Simpson.
I met up with Kelsey and we walked around - she’s been here for a day already so she’s an old pro. She showed me the famous Tattered Cover bookstore and all the good shops along the 16th St Pedestrian Mall. We wound up for dinner at a place called Rialto and caught up on the last 6 months’ gossip. The downtown area is absolutely gorgeous. It’s SO clean, people are friendly, and everything seems well-maintained. It has a wonderful feel to it. It made me wish they would do that to Granville or Robson (or both!).
Tomorrow after a little sleep-in, I’m going to poke around the Mall, visit the library, and maybe check out the Capitol Hill People’s Fair, which Kels visited today and raved about. Then we’re meeting up for Gore’s keynote! So exciting!
