- Dance Your Butt off to the 80s!Greenfields Pool & Sports Bar, Lakewood, CO
Ronnie Raygun and his band are playing at this awesome bar out in Lakewood! Cheap drinks and well, maybe fast women and men, I don't know...

Band starts at 8:00, but we're getting there at 7:00 to get some decent seats. - Walk and Talk-o *Start at Que Bueno Suerte*Que Bueno Suerte, Denver, CO
Join me for a walk around one of Denver’s best parks, Washington Park. We’ll meet at 1518 S Pearl St, Denver, CO 80210 at 6:30pm (it’s always 6:30pm even if meetup says different) and walk over to the park. We’ll walk around the park one time and return to South Pearl. Total round trip is about 3.5 miles. *if you have reflective gear or lights, please wear it. It's getting dark out earlier and earlier. It will help with lighting the path and also making us visible to cars.
Walkers who want to have tacos can go to Que Suerte for Taco Tuesday. The staff at Que Suerte really loves having us there. If you choose to stay for tacos, please be prepared to order food or drink and tip our servers.
The feedback from the group has been to walk or at least get talk-o's every week no matter the weather. #coloradostyle
Some important things to note:
- Remember the golden rule folks. Treating others with kindness, respect, honesty, patience, and curiosity is important.
- We share the golden rule with folks not in our group by sharing the trail in the park. Please walk in two’s so that our non- walk- talk-o people have plenty of space on the trail too. If somehow someone forgets and starts walking in 3 or 4 across, say we’ll remind each other kindly. Say "Taco” and squeeze in so that the person can get by us easily.
- Please pay attention to oncoming pedestrians and pedestrians behind us. Please squeeze in to the right when you see them, leaving them plenty of room to pass. We want everyone to enjoy the trail (including folks not in our group) - and not have to dodge our group. Let’s remind each other to “taco" not "tostada."
- We love fur-babies. Before bringing them consider whether your dog is great on leash, behaves well in a crowd, can keep up with our pace, and will distract or add to our group members’ experience.
- You must RSVP This is for safety. If for some reason you can’t RSVP, the group leader will take your picture and a picture of your ID and send it to the other group leaders. It’s up to the group leader if you can participate.
We can be a big group which we love! Please do your part to help us with sharing the trail so that don’t need to limit the number of attendees. If you have suggestions, thoughts, concerns, or ideas for fun activities please let us know.
Field day (pictured above) was a real hoot. It was so much fun that we'll be sprinkling in some past attendee only events throughout the year.
End of Summer/Fall Camping Trip! We are hosting a camping trip for past attendee's of Walk and Talk-o. Please ask for the signup link to register when you join the walk.

Do you crave heartfelt meaningful connections and a wider community? Skip the small talk and set the stage to make new friends.
What will we do?
- We sit together in a small group.
- Each person chooses a discussion question.
- The person who chose the question will answer it first.
- Then we'll go around the circle and everyone can answer the question, or pass. After a while, we'll switch circles and meet new people.
How can we connect with people we just met?
- We listen attentively without interrupting.
- We may ask a question to deepen the connection, but we share the talk time so everyone is heard.
- Everyone chooses how much or how little they want to share.
- We show up with open minds and hearts, with the intention to understand.
- Occasionally we may agree to disagree, respectfully acknowledging that our differences enrich us, and we may even learn something new!
Connection is great for improving relationships, health, and even creative problem solving. This event is designed to be inclusive and empathetic.
DONATION: Please donate $10 - 20 for group expenses and to acknowledge the hosts' time and expertise leading the event.

It normally takes nearly two hours to drive to the fab hikes on the west side of RMNP, but they'll be 20 minutes out the door from our fabby 6-bedroom, eight-bed mansion on the shores of Shadow Mountain Lake, about two miles from the town of Grand Lake and 10 from the park entrance. The aspen will be just past prime, but still in full glory. We'll hike to Timber Lake (10 miles, 2400 ft.), Lake of the Clouds (14 miles, 2900 ft.), drive up Trail Ridge Road, and head after each outing back to our mansion and make dinner, do take-out, or dine in town, then enjoy hot-tub at the mansion. Note: We will not have timed-reservation entries unless I snag them in September, so we will need to enter the park before 9 am each day. Oh, and we'll camp the first nite with campfire and endure the overnight cold, to better appreciate the mansion warmth the next three nights.
DATES:
OCT 3-7
ITINERARY
Thursday Oct 3 - Drive 2 hours to Green Ridge Campground on Shadow Mountain Lake two miles from town of Grand Lake, where Loop A is still open on first-come, first-serve basis, and snag double-site R17. Build campfire. Expect a cold night!
Friday Oct 4 - Hike in RMNP, and then retire to mansion on Shadow Mountain Reservoir.
Saturday Oct. 5 - Hike in RMNP, then back to the mansion.

$370 for solo bedroom
$320 for shared bedroom (King with queen overhead)

Note: You may head home Sunday if you need to be back to work Monday, but you will be charged for a 3-night stay.
