Fate of Rocky Mountain News to be announced

Lot of us sticking around to hoist something in the direction of the RMN at 1:45 EST, I presume?

 

Yep. I also joined the Facebook thing they have going.

For those of you on Facebook:

I'm doing the same. In honor of MileHigh, Tracy, and everyone else. Bless you all.

 

Readying a beverage as we speak.

 

Cracking one open when I get home.

 

The previously posted Restoration Ale is about to be poured in a frosty mug, waiting for the right minute.

 

Stings even more knowing she was the same girl pictured with her dad. Again, I hope she's too young to realize what it all means, but kids are pretty damn perceptive.

 

I respect the hell out of all the staffers who stayed until the very end. I hope you land on your feet quickly.

 

I absolutely want at least one copy. Born and raised in Colorado. Went to CU in the late 1980s, graduated in 1991, and as someone alluded to earlier, the two papers were in an unreal battle at the time -- and I always went with the Rocky. I just felt it was the better product. I don't want to be ghoulish, either, but I have called two siblings who are back there, along with a couple of friends, to try to help make sure I get a copy.

MH, are you guys going out drinking somewhere tonight? Hitting LoDo? Is there a bar open late enough after you finish it off? I hope so, because you should all raise a toast to yourselves. Lots of people pulling for all you and willing to help in any way possible, as ijag already noted.

 

Good luck, folks. It's something we all need about now.

 

1:45 EST.

I can't even imagine what these final few moments are like for the RMN staffers.

 

Here's to you all.

You went out newspaper(wo)men.
