Hey all, big news. Due to the size of our group we have been forced to move out of our regular haunt at Barnes and Noble on Bowles. All of this happened last Monday and during our group meeting we discussed some options we have and some places we might go. Among some of the ideas were rec centers, the library, other coffee shops, another bookstore, or even a restaurant. Some of the places we mentioned were The Tattered Cover Bookstore in Highland's Ranch, the Belmar library, Kate's husband Mark's restaurant, Starbucks, the Buck Rec Center in downtown Littleton, the Barnes and Noble/Starbucks cafe in Denver West, and a couple others I can't remember because my brain cells aren't working.
We are still running by a few places that seem promising and I'm still up for any ideas and suggestions any of you might have, but we have settled on a place for next week since it seems to work out best as far as location, environment, and time. Jan aka Knall of Yarn stopped by the IHOP on Bowles and Wadsworth to talk to the Monday night manager about us coming in and staying late. They were more than happy to have us and have a room they can set aside for us that will be partitioned off from the rest of the restaurant.
Now this is a temporary place for us and we most likely will be jumping around for a bit. I know this sucks in general and I'm sorry we couldn't hold it off a while longer, but in order to avoid a big catastrophe and hurt feelings all around, it is best if we work with the district manager at Barnes and just find somewhere else to hang out. The meeting that Jan and I had with Diane Seaburry and the manager at Barnes was a bit tense but ended very well, so we are in no bad position as far as they are concerned.
If you guys have any questions for me, leave me a comment, call my cell (720-468-7004), or send me an email. I'll get most of it on my cell phone so I should respond back fairly quickly. Again, we are meeting at IHOP on Bowles and Wadsworth across from Columbine Library at 7pm next Monday. So that's gonna be May 12th.
Thanks for hanging in there girls!
Strange aka Shawn
