    Rocky Mountain Highland Games...Crash Pad?

    The 45th Annual Rocky Mountain Highland Games are coming up in about two weeks, and I have perhaps a strange request... I'm limited on funds and I've decided that I'll probably skip Saturday's day-events, and just attend the ceilidh at the Marriott, so that I can attend all of Sunday's events (can't afford both days AND the ceilidh, unfortunately.) Anyway, I know this is a weird request, BUT...if I go to the ceilidh, I'd rather not have to drive all the way back to Lakewood afterwards (and I probably won't want to anyway.) This may be a long shot, but is there anyone in the DTC area that might be able to let me crash on their couch (or floor, or walk-in closet or dog house) on Saturday night (Aug. 9th.?) I can sleep in the weirdest of spaces if necessary (except for the dirt-floor crawlspace, cos I just don't dig spiders caravanning over me in the middle of the night!) I'll provide my own pillow and blanket, so basically I'm just looking for a sheltered place to sleep for a few hours (I can deal with a potential dog-grundle or cat-on-the-chest, but I'm not always able to sleep in my car very well...although I'd even consider sleeping in my car if you've got a car-port or even a driveway I could park in. Cops just seem to be really wary about people sleeping in their cars on public property. And having a police officer knocking on your window at 5am is REALLY unsettling! I've been there!) Thanks!

    I cant help you with a place to crash, but incidentally I'm going to be in Aurora from the 7th to the 11th, and only 15 minutes from the games, so i'm going to try to get out at least one of the days with the group of people i'm getting together with in denver.

    Cat, I'd love to help out but Mom and Dad's place is already overflowing that weekend.

    Jmercier, stop by at the piping competition and say hi. I'll be one of the stewards running around getting the competitors where they belong.

    That's alright guys. I think I'm going to skip Saturday, since I've got a prior engagement until about 2.30p. I may go to the ceilidh still, but I'm thinking I'll just do all day Sunday, and then I'll have more cash to spend on food, drinks, varies items I don't really need but want, etc.

    Hey Cat- come by the Ren Scots camp and say hello. I can't help with a place to crash since I'm participating in the festival, and will be camped out there myself, but come by the Knotty Dirk Pub and have some water with me. You'll need it.
