[CLUE-Tech] SouthWest Denver Hacking Society

[Joe Daily]

I know that you are looking for free wireless down in littleton near 
C-470 and ken caryl, the only places that i know is the hodilay inn and 
chatfield high. Although i might know a small business that may help us 
out if in exchange we do a little IT work. (5-8 desktops). Also keep in 
mind that higher grounds in golden offers free wifi and if all else 
fails we could set up a hacking society meeting after the robotics club 
meetings at mines.
