Drum roll please: Denver 2011

The Starbucks was open at 2 a.m. the one time I was there. Sadly, the KK was not. Doughnuts, overpriced coffee, jewelry stores, $5/hand blackjack and the WNBA -- what more could you ever ask for?

 

You know, in Seattle, they still talk about the Great Donut Shortage of 2008.

 

I and CC cannot commit this far in advance, but if it is at all possible we will be in Denver.

Just let us get everything in line for buying a house next year first.

 

Hey, I only ate two a day at the Top Pot near the hotel. I didn't even buy any to take home with me. God how I loved that Top Pot. I felt like Frasier ... if he had eaten Niles, Daphne and Freddy.

 

They have TWO of them. The one big one with the donuts rolling off the conveyor belt, and then a smaller "outlet" between two of the casinos. I actually wandered out into the shops last time I went and fell in love.

 

2011 is too far in the future for me to commit to anything, but I'm definitely interested in Denver.

 

See, I only saw the one between the casinos. I didn't realize they had a full-sized one with the conveyor belt. Next time I'm gambling the whole night with a KK paper hat on.

 

Maybe we can do Havana in 2015. They should have a MLB team by then.

And when the hell does Toronto get another outing?

If you polled those who attended the one up here a few years ago you'd probably find that lots of folks would rank it as one of the best outings yet.

Fuck modesty. It was great.

 

Seattle was just as great, trust me.

 

1) Will we get cigars directly from Fidel?
2) Will the chance of making some money helping some citizen(s) defect offset the cost of extra baggage on the flight out of there?

Yes, yes it was. Back to Toronto soon. Gotta see Ronnie's corner in the Hockey HOF now ...

 

I bet Seattle didn't have Nipplegate.
