Rehearsal Tailgate Party SUNDAY, DECEMBER 30
It is hard to be in Denver and not catch a little Bronco fever. Join us on Sunday December, 30th for a tailgate party before the Denver Broncos annihilate the Kansas City Chiefs on the road to Super Bowl glory! THIS IS HOW IT IS GOING DOWN: 10:00AM
Meet in Lot C (check out the map). Wedding party reviews playbook. If you don't have to walk down the aisle on Monday, you don't have to be there at 10AM but you welcome to join us.
11:00AM
Paaaartay!

Kick-Off
Seems pretty simple but this will require some coordination. For example, we need to arrange some carpooling. As with most professional sports, parking is no joke. Lots that are close can cost up to $100. Here's how to avoid being extorted: Cheap: Take a cab. From downtown, this will be about $25ish one way but divide it by four and it is only $6 or $7 each person. Here's the rub...catching a cab after the game is a little nightmarish. You will likely wait in the cab line for 45 minutes or so. Cabs line up at Gate 5 after the game. Cheaper: Carpool to the stadium and park in Lot N. Lot N is a first come, first serve lot. The cost in $30. This lot fills up pretty fast so you might want to get there by 9:30AM or so. You will have to walk about a quarter mile to get to Lot C but you will get out of the stadium pretty quickly. Cheapest: Take the Light Rail. If you can get yourself to the free 10th and Osage park-in-ride, you can purchase a round-trip ticket to Sports

This Peyton looks like Tebow which almost made me not use it but the number is correct so I guess I will let it slide.

Hair of the Dog Brunch We suspect we are going to need a little bloody mary action to start the new year. We are going to head to brunch on Tuesday morning but we haven't yet figured out where we are going to go. Don't worry, we will keep you posted but in the mean time, let us know if we should include you in the reservation head count!
The End YOU MADE IT!
THANK YOU FOR COMING
