Subject: Re: The Regency Hotel In Denver
The a line of the article says:
"A state district judge on Friday ordered the closure of Denver's Regency
Hotel, saying it is a fire hazard and major safety risk."
What took them so long to figure out it was a fire hazard? When I was
checking in at the front desk for G3, along with Kris from Wisconsin, we
heard all these sirens and then fire trucks pulled up out in front of the
hotel and fiiremen came running in past the desk with all their gear. Part
of the hotel was on fire and the hotel wasn't even evacuated. We wondered if
it was safe to be having G3 there. It certainly has made for interesting con
stories though.

Yes, I'm still around. I was nomail for a long time. It good to be back and
see posts from the people I met at the 4 cons I went to. I married a native
from Seacouver while I was gone. Have been on the Highlander tour of BC a
couple of times. Recently I took the Smallville tour of BC. The GII was held
at the Holiday Inn DIA, that is the hotel with the long corridor that you
are remembering.
