For the 3rd year in a row the Sci Sci Fi, Fantasy and Steampunk meetup group will celebrate Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day (PtbaTTD) (http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2007/12/pretend-to-be-a/), this year we will celebrate at this very special Old Colorado City all day event on 12/10.
TIME TRAVERS for Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day: We will meet at 1:00pm at JIVES COFFEE house, 16 Colbrunn Ct, west of Bancroft park and around the corner from the main activities on 24th Street. Depending on the weather, we will participate in some cosplay and picture taking in Bancroft park near the historic museum for awhile. Then we will move on shopping at the participating businesses in the 24th Street area and enjoying their hospitality. Tours of tours of Historic Old Colorado City are available and we must see the Fashion and Gadget Show at Thunderin Buttons II at 4:30pm. Pls wear a costume and remember the one rule of PtbaTTD, NEVER admit you are a Time Traveler but do take a look at the 21st century world from the perspective of someone not of this time, and react accordingly. PARKING - meters on the street with red present tags are free for parking this weekend and there is lot parking behind businesses on 24-26th street. Thanks to Karen Holloway and everyone else involved in organizing this great Holiday and Time Travel event.
