    By my rough estimates, I think there will be about 25 local people going to MACNA this year.



    So what are you doing?



    We land at 7am on Wendesday, so I think my wife & I are going rent a car & spend the day at Rocky Mountain National Park. Then Thursday the Aquarium, Thursday night see all the friends we only get to see during MACNA at the hotel lounge.


    I encourage you to attend the reception & banquet, and any speakers that may interest you. I am really looking forward to hearing a few of the speakers.





    So what are your plans?

    Lee and I will be arriving on Thursday evening. Friday attending the Apexuser 2nd annual meetup at 8am. Exhibit hall opens at 10:30 I think and soaking it all in. No real plans after that. I think it would be great to all get together and snap a picture too.
    Rocky Mountain national forest is very cool place. My family and I just visited it last month.
    Tour of Budweiser north of Ft Collins is fun too. I am not a beer drinker but it's cool to see how it's made.
    Coors is located in Golden Colorado ( subs of Denver) and has a great tour.
    Lots of cool things to do.

    We should try to meet somewhere for the banquet & sit together. It is a madhouse rush!

    We are staying at the backup Hyatt(Overflow from convection center) for one night and others we are winging, but Lee and I can stay at my family cabin if needed.
