I've got a proposal due Saturday night, and it looks like we're going to be editing it right to the finish line. I had hoped to make the WikiNews meet up on Sunday, but I've also got a term paper due on Tuesday, so -- I'll try, but it's going to be a crazy weekend. Sorry, and I hope you all have a great time!

Here's the train station on Google Maps: http://goo.gl/maps/lkFNK (note that it's NOT the big, prominent Union Station building, but a smaller, temporary station behind it. Here are walking instructions from the 16th Street mall. There's a ton of dining places in downtown Denver around 16th Street (here's a list: http://www.downtowndenver.com/Life/WhattoDo/DiningDirectory/tabid/285/Default.aspx); I've eaten at the Noodles & Co across the street from the RTD Market Street station -- http://www.noodles.com/locations/109 -- and I liked it! It looks like the train's been early all this week, so it might make sense to check http://www.amtrak.com/ before you go. You'll want to click on "Status", and type in: Date: Fri, Nov 30, 2012 (the train takes two days to get to Denver) Train No: 6 From: EMY (Emeryville, CA) To: DEN (Denver, CO) They'll update the expected time as the train makes it way to Colorado. Hope that helps, and have a great time on Saturday and Sunday! cheers, Gaurav _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-US-CO mailing list Wikimedia-US-CO@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-us-co
