[CoLoCo] Release Party

Fri Sep 24 16:16:10 BST 2010

Do you guys remember the Falling Rock Tap House?  We could fit a group of up
to about 20-30 downstairs and it was fairly quiet as compared to their
upstairs area.

It's located fairly centrally in Denver (Larimer and 19th iirc), had great
food & beer and wifi.  There was no projector last time I was there though.

Cheers,
David
