If I Build It, Will You Come?

On yesterday's front page, Markos made the formal announcement about The Big Tent: space and a hang-out for the bloggerati during the Democratic National Convention here in Denver.  How would you like another opportunity to hang out?

As regulars of Saturday Morning Garden Blogging know, the Garden Blogging Garden is in Denver.

Not merely in Denver, but a mere 2.5 miles from Downtown, in the beautiful Baker Historic District, one of the oldest remaining residential neighborhoods in the City.

Indeed, because of our front porch, my house is (or, at least, was) listed as a "notable home" in the Historic Denver guide to the Baker Neighborhood.

If you're coming to Denver for the convention, I'd like to host an open house on the afternoon, and into the evening hours, of August 24.

The question is: if I plan it, will you come?

The locals would really like to meet with our visitors, but not all of us will have the opportunity to spend much time in the Big Tent -- I know that I will still need to go to work, get my kids off to school, and brow-beat them into doing their homework (stupid school district -- why in hell Denver Public Schools didn't delay the start of the school year until after the convention is beyond me).

Our home is very convenient to downtown and to public transportation.  We're just a few blocks from the Alameda light rail station, and on the 0 bus line -- a straight shot down Broadway from downtown.  It's even easy to get to by car, as it's near I-25, and pretty much smack dab in the middle of the Denver metro area.

But I need to get a feel of whether our blogger-visitors are interested in meeting with us outside the environs of the convention and the Big Tent.  'Cause I'd hate to throw a party and not have anybody show up!
