Joe Pezzillo's handful of photos including this QTVR Panorama
Please link to your photos everyone! I saw some really great ones flying through the network when Dave was sniffing with etherpeg, but I haven't seen them since.
I have some t-shirts from BarCamp Denver that I need to unload... For all you folks in Boulder, I will be @ the Boulder New Technology meetup on Sept. 12th and will bring some shirts with me. If you would like one, you can track me (Kevin Cawley) down there
Or send me an email, kevinc@newsgator.com, if that time is not convenient and you would like a shirt. They look very cool.

My folding chair hookup fell thru. Does anyone have access to a bunch of folding chairs?
8/26 01:05 chair update: I've got 20 chairs of various kinds (almost all my stackable and folding house concert chairs) packed in the station wagon for Saturday. -- Doug G.
These kind people contributed as noted below to help BarCampDenver happen.
