Denver and Fate

The Denver folks have been so wonderful over the past two decades, that it always surprised me that their flyin attendance was so very low over the years. That's one of the reasons that we split flyin years with them, starting in '93. They'd put together a great themed weekend, and maybe have a total of 40 there. Eek!

Joy of all joys, the fates came together for them this year. With four scintillating callers and lots of promo, they had over 110 people at the flyin this year. We got to play with folks from NYC, Virginia, Atlanta, St. Louis, all over! Even some LJers were there, like sfbearhoney complete with cellphone camera with direct posting to his LJ.

This is what it's all about folks. Food, fun, cameraderie, and a genuine desire to show people a good time. I know some clubs that need to take SERIOUS notes!

Sadly, Danny and I missed the Sunday activities due to a ( slight medical emergency )

, but we heard reports that the Sunday Red Rocks brunch and the afternoon dancing was faboo, too. We wouldn't have been able to stay through the whole afternoon portion of the dancing till five...that would be a bit late to get home at a decent hour, with the 7 1/2 hour drive!
