Veg Out III: Day 1-Denver

Today, everyone flew in. Lemon was unfortunately unable to attend this Veg Out because of some family issues. This Veg Out started out not so auspiciously with my flight being delayed and jOrange’s first flight being cancelled.

National Rent-a-car apparently has very low standards for their vehicles, as the first vehicle we got had tire pressure problems, as well as a constant “no fuse” display where the odometer was supposed to be. The power windows did not work on this vehicle and there was a constant smell of something being carbonized.

Kira, BlueBerry, and I drove this vehicle to the hotel. On the way there, BlueBerry mentioned that Google was an awesome place to work because of the free food they provided and how he loved to drink blueberries because they were the best berry. He also mentioned that there was no point of going out to eat because the food was worse than the food Google offered and he had an amazing DS that did everything but cure cancer.

Check-in at the hotel went very well and after we had settled down a bit, Kira did some research about the problems plaguing our rental vehicle and we decided to exchange the vehicle (ended up with a Black Chevy Tahoe) as well as pick up some water/oranges.

The plan for the day was to settle in, and then jOrange, Kira, and I were to attend a hockey game between the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings. However, because of the rental car exchange, Kira and I didn’t make it to the game until the start of the second period. jOrange was able to bypass the hotel shuttle by getting a ride with some other people also going to the game. He was able to make it at the start of the third period, but unfortunately, Air Canada decided that people going on ski vacations to Colorado really didn’t need skis and forgot to load skis for about 30 people on jOrange’s flight. The free hotdogs that were supposed to come with the tickets were also a LIE!!!! =( Just for the sake of getting the entire “Pepsi Center” experience, we foolishly took the wrong path to and from the stadium and had to walk in -9999999999999999999 degree weather.

Catnipped got in towards midnight and after a couple of hours of playing BANG! We called it a night.
