Starfest 2012
« on: June 30, 2011, 09:48:27 AM »
I live near Denver and am planning in advance for the next Starfest convention. Has anyone ever gone and is anyone going next year? ( Yes I do know that it is a long time until it actually takes place, but I prefer planning ahead.)

I was just in Denver.

Day 1 :
- Went to the Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Jaguar / Aston Martin, Ferrari / Lotus, and Lexus dealerships and test drove cars as I recently came into a good deal of money from "my trust fund". Which, of course, was bogus. Fun anyway.
- Drank "loaded Coronas" which is a Corona + lime + shot of lime tequila. After my companions and I were sufficiently intoxicated we went swimming at the local pool which almost got us a ticket for "Disturbing the Peace". LOL!!

Day 2:
- Went to Breckenridge, CO. It's a tourist / ski town at about 9,600 ft. of elevation. We drank at the Breckenridge brewery which made a pretty decent IPA and hit up the O2 bar which is supposed to help with the elevation. Best $12 I've spent on O2 in all my life.
- Went to downtown Denver and checked out a lame club (but they're all lame aren't they?) and a strip club.


All-in-all had a pretty good time for just two whole days in Denver. I'd love to go back to that area for a week or so just so make sure I hit everything. Wish I could have visited Boulder, CO.

Oh, my bad. What the hell is Startfest?

No idea what Starfest is.  Does it have something to do with festering hollywood a-listers?

Starfest is a Denver Sci-fi convention which also includes a comic book festival across the street. I wish Novice would clarify his statements against strip clubs. It makes me sad to read such awful words. :cry:

The strip club was after the lame club. The strip club was not lame.

Thank you for clarifying. So no one has heard of Starfest? That sucks.

Didn't Denver sink into the Pacific?

Common mistake. You're probably thinking of Indonesia. I can see the similarities though.
