Train Trip Update: DENVER: Fruit on the Bottom - STRAWBERRY!

[thoreau]

7am on Thursday - and I'm up making coffee and getting ready to head to the train station. Dave and I have had the best time in Denver - from the Denver Art Museum to dinner last night with Connor ubermunkey and Brett septimuswarren to strolling through City Park. Denver is a lovely city.... Brett is a great host but (gasp!) he doesn't offer wireless or computer access. (the horror!) so you'll have to wait till I get back to San Francisco on Friday night to see the photos. But oh the photos - today we'll take the train up over the Rockies - sleep as it crosses the desert then over breakfast Friday? up over the Sierra Nevada mountains, I am so very excited. David and I proving to be remarkably good travelmates - and we're having the most romantic vacation I can ever remember having. Introducing him to Brett "I keep my silverware on the counter in a wicker basket because I'm a big old fag" James - has been one of the highlights. Brett is one of my oldest and dearest friends - we figured over dinner last night - we've been good friends for 22 years. Wowsers!

It was also a giant sized treat to finally meet Connor. After trading notes on LJ, chat sites and handwritten notes and letters for so many years - it was so rewarding to finally meet him in person. Besides being a sexy beast of a man (David, Brett and I agreed on that fact on the way home last night) he's sensitive, smart and laughs from the bottom of his soul. What a grand guy to call friend!

anyhoo - off to the train depot. TTFN.

(fruit on the bottom? strawberry? - an old yogurt commercial I used to terrorize Brett with when we worked at Boy Scout Camps together - now of course, since we're both about the fruit - its even funnier to sing together. Yes - being afraid at this point is probably wise)

Great to hear this update. How wonderful that you work well as travelmates as well as boyfriends. I hope the rest of the trip is just as fun!

Oo! I'm very excited about the upcoming Denver update as I'll be there for work the second half of next week. Give a girl some hawt restaurant reccomendations?

Since you are a friend of Robert's I took a gander at your profile. If you are a vegetarian, the best veggie place in Denver is Watercourse (http://www.watercoursefoods.com/). My fave place to eat is Racine's (http://www.racinesrestaurant.com/), where they have a variety of foods, including vegetarian fare. Both places are totally queer friendly.

Feel free to contact me about other fun Denver things!

Denver!

Why didn't I remember you're in Denver? I'll have to ask some questions as I think of 'em.

Those look amazing! Thank you so much. I've been a bit worried about this trip not knowing much about Denver other that I'll be staying someplace on the 16th Street Mall in LoDo. Room service is not veggie friendly or tasty. And my boss wants to take us to Casa Bonita. Be afraid, be very afraid. ;-)

Well there's lots of fun stuff on 16th Street mall and good people watching. Casa Bonita is...well, its a trip. The food is not very good, but it is one of those places that you do just have to go to and see for yourself. As long as you're drinking maragaritas you'll survive! And if you need rescuing, give me a shout and I'd be happy to take you someplace fun :)

Darn! How did I miss you while you were here? I knew there was a certain electricity in the air yesterday here in Denver! I am so sad. :(

I will go pout now.
