I had a lovely time at the Stanley tour. The group found out that my talk of being socially awkward is well-founded. Great people. I just struggle to interact the first (and second)(and third)(and... you get the idea) time I meet people.
After the tour, I had a very nice time, buying a beer for Kurben at the Stanley (I owed him - he vetted the archaeology of one of my stories) and his sister-in-law, whom, as it turns out, had seen me at an event earlier this year.
The ballroom inside the Stanley (minus the soda pop bottle on the rail that I Photoshopped out.) This was one of our first stops on the tour and the start of many interesting stories that our tour guide, Mary, related.
One pf the views from the front of the Stanley, looking over the shrubbery maze-ish garden out front. Between the hotel and mountains in the background. Estes Park lies in between.
The lights inside the ballroom. I thought they were interesting. This was the last shot I took before the camera battery died.
A view from the Stanley lobby.
The front of the Stanley.
Sorry I couldn't make it to Denver for the following night! And even though I pretty much stuck to my asocial self, I had a great time hanging with you guys!

I am so glad you put yourself out there. Great photos.
Grandpa -- beautiful pictures. So glad you went on the tour. The Tet are a gentle and kind group.
...it was a pleasure man and you were just fine...hell I picked ya out right away...even though you were skulking in the bushes...
Likewise! After I got over meeting you, shaking hands, and having your hand eat mine in one gulp.
....well, it did smell like cookie....
great pictures everyone. Love the postcard thanks.
Thanks so much for sharing the pics! Look forward to hearing more about the Kon--wish I could have been there for this one but hoping to make it to the next one. Did you pick a location?
I'd be afraid to cross under that bridge - looks like there might be a thinny within and I sure wouldn't want to be transported to Cleaveland
(just joking about Cleaveland, I'm sure Cleaveland is a very nice town )That was pretty funny
I'm glad y'all had great fun
I've never been to Colorado, it looks amazing! Maybe I can join y'all next time y'all meet there

...glad you brought that up Marsha....with your retirement pending, we voted unanimously at the Kon to come back to Bangor in 2018!....this will give those of us that were there at the beginning to again see the beauty that is Maine and a chance for folks who weren't able to make it in 2013 to see the wonderland of all things King.....I plan on it being "Maine for Marsha in 2018"!....now, in the interest of fairness-because this always seems to become an issue, if others wish to plan an event elsewhere-then please lay the thoughts out here.....but for me, Gan willing-Imma gonna smooch you again before you head west.....
...I still say, nobody can top this look.....I rocked the Celestial Seasonings Tea factory tour.....In that case, I guess I'm going to have to retire in 2018.
If Steve talks me into staying longer, will you still come to Maine? Please, please, pretty please with sugar on top? 
...wellllllllllll.........ok.........In that case, I guess I'm going to have to retire in 2018.
Maine For Marsha in 2018 is awesome! No need to feel pressure to retire. You, dear Marsha, are the SKMB. And I think the Ka-Tet would love to honor you with the next Kon, retirement or not.
Nice to see all those beautiful photos, looks like you all had a great time!
The Dutch one arrived today. Thanks a lot everyone and especially Gnt for taking the trouble to mail it!
Meh... reminds me of work...
