Nate and I have been talking for a long time about having a Denver Stiffs "Event" for Colorado-based Stiffs to get together and watch a big road game. For our debut event, we're targeting Chopper's this Friday for the Lakers/Nuggets game. Tipoff is at 8:30pm but Altitude is doing a special 8:00pm broadcast live from Chopper's, and there will be drink/food specials.
[UPDATE] A lot of you have asked if there is an age limit. I have called Choppers and there is NO AGE LIMIT and families are welcome. You just can't drink any alcohol with the rest of us degenerates, of course.
Who's in for crashing Chopper's this Friday?! Address is: 80 South Madison Street / Denver, CO 80209-3002 and we've set up a Facebook Fan Page Event if you'd like to formally RSVP: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=294452197568&index=1

Supposedly called one of the top sports bars in the US by ESPN or Playboy or somethin I think… It’s pretty cool. And I’ll be there!
sounds good
I shall be there with the wife, maybe the kid too
I've only been to Choppers once, but I like it.
Should be a good time!

I think I might attend....is there a code we need for the get together?
Something like “The moose sleeps at midnight” and then we are whisked away to our swanky table?

is there a dress code and a cover charge?

No dress code or cover charge.
I’d recommend some Nuggs gear!

I'd be game for this
in fact it would probably make this huge game less stressful to watch, it would be a “bitch at Kobe” get together.

Do you have to be 21 to get in?
I love the nugs, but hate drinking laws…
What?
You don’t like the fact that you can vote, be tried in court as an adult, get married, get divorced, and join the military to go get shot at for a living, but you can’t have a beer? What’s the problem?

Thank you for your service. I wasn’t trying to say everyone gets shot at, but that it is a possibility depending on your job, and certainly lots of people are in areas that could result in them being shot at.
I am very supportive of all the members of the military, especially now. Both my grandfathers were in the army, one until he retired, my dad was in Vietnam, my step-father is a retired SEAL, and my brother is a civillian employee of the Navy. Luckily, none of them were ever wounded, though my step father has some physical issues from spending so much time in very cold water.
Its interesting
In NZ you can drink at 18, essentially it gets that oh my god i can finally drink so im going to piss myself silly mode out of em three years earlier. There really, IMO, is no grounds for the drinking age to not be 18
I think it's technically a restaurant.
I’ll sneak you shots… wait, no I won’t… unless the coast is clear ;)
me too

i will be the only one sitting at
the anthony cartewr table
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
I'll sit with you
In spirit that is. I can’t be seen at that table. Yup it’ll be You, Me (in spirit of course), and the ghosts of inbounds play of the past. Oooooohhohhoh Spooky
sitting at the ac table
is like sitting at the kiddie table at thanksgiving.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
Does that mean...
You will be tossing food and drink into your mouth only it will be flying past your face behind you, airball style? or clanging your drinks on the edge of the table as you attempt to set them down?

My Friday
I will be drinking in Boston, alone as a Nuggets fan, and the girl I’m seeing is a Lakers fan.
Cool girl....
in Boston but not afraid to cheer on the Lakers. lol

Reminds me of my favorite commercial
The one where the OSU guy makes out with the Michigan chick… which I like only because they elected to put him in OSU and her in UM…. if it was opposite, I’d puke and bust my TV.
Own that Laker fan! Own her!

I'm so there
I’m bringing a fellow Nuggets fan too

I'd come...
but I will be in Los Angeles and hopefully playing if my ankle feels better. If not, I’ll at least be commenting in the game thread from the bench.
Peace,
Melo (aka margabelle)

Do we get to wear name tags with our alias?
Don’t worry thursty, by the second half everyone will be half in the can and the Nuggets will be up by 20, so all will be well.
Hate to miss this
event. I’m in Kansas right now. Did any of you catch the Kansas vs. K State game a week ago? They are still talking about it back here. But then… they don’t have the Nuggies here to keep up with. Glad to hear the Nuggets will be up by 20 at half time, Pusherman. The event is a great idea. Maybe next time.
They’ll really be talking after the Buffs upset Kansas tonight!

Chopper's
Love the bar, love the blog. I’ll make an appearance.
Gah I'm 13
I dunno what’s harder, explaining to my parents that I’m going to a bar or that it’s with people who are fans of a team they don’t really care much about. So I’m not going.

Thanks!

No way, the man the myth the legend
I reckon anyone who has closely followed to Nuggets over the past years knows who Vicki and Vicki’s husband are. Damn I wish I lived in Denver (or colorado) because I would go just to meet you two
Season ticket holders that wear Nene's jersey
With Vicki and Vicki’s husband in place of Nene’s name on the back. They sit in the opposite corner of the Nugs bench. Gray haired guy with a nice camera and his wife Vicki. They seem like pretty damn good fans but the shirts are hilarious.
You didn't just play the "Gray Hair" card...
It wasn’t gray until that 11 & 71 season… :-)
Thanks!

They sit in the same section as "Kmart's biggest fan"
The fanatical lady that makes the fanatical signs about how she is Kmart’s biggest fan. Knitted herself a Kmart scarf too if I remember right, LOL. I usually split season tickets with a buddy of mine and we sit in this same section. It is a great section other than the occasional season-ticket-holder-looney-bird because it seems most the fans are very loyal to the Nugs and more educated than other sections I have sat in years past.
Last night I sat in front of a guy that was supposedly a Nugs fan and he was bashing Kmart from the opening tip after his 27 and 11 performance against the Spurs but I was in a charity section that I purchased from my nephew’s school.
Gasus...
I can’t believe you go to games and have never said hello! I’m crushed…

I will next game
I just get so into the games I forget about other things when I am there. I don’t think I have tix for the next few games but I’ll hit you up at the next one I am at.
Random question
I took some foreign friends to a game this season and they had all sorts of questions more style oriented, from headbands to armbands to socks to tattoos. One asked why KMart wears knee pads on his shins and the other commented that they looked like shinguards (soccer lovers, it figures) – I had no answer for them, other than a guess that he wears those to avoid getting his shins bruised up by kicked balls? K-Mart does a great job of getting his legs out in passing lanes to disrupt bounce passes, so that seemed logical… but I definitely pulled that suggestion out of my ass.
Any idea?
by Artimus Mangilord on Feb 4, 2010 2:24 PM MST up reply actions
He probably has shin splints
I get them real bad because of basketball. You can still play but they get really sore and if they are hit it hurts pretty bad. If you notice, every time Kmart gets hit in the leg he takes a while bending over and rubbing his leg or just trying to get over the pain. Shin splints are real common in bball.
What's up with that?
I went to the game last night too (nosebleed section) and a group of guys were saying all kinds of crap like that too, dissing their own team. I guess the 20 point loss had something to do with it but damn, there are a lot of stupid people out there, just sucks that some are Nuggets fans too.
No Doubt
I almost got kicked out for sticking up for Kmart. Three dudes and a girl had to move or I was gonna tear one of their heads off, lol. Usher came up to me and told me no more trouble and I later saw the guy I got into it with picking his nose on the jumbotron. LOL
stiffs have reservations for
the anthony carter table
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
Will Balkman be bartending?
He’d probably have a better time than sitting on the bench in LA.
I’m going to try my best to be there. Looking forward to meeting everyone. May I suggest having some name tags available, so that we know who is who?
that is no fun
people should wear something that will give a clue to their identity. i can wear sunglasses and a black fodora.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
i know the mattress king can wear
a sheet over your cloths and a pillow case over your head.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
nohoops4u
2 days to think that up??? Come on, man, you can do better. Besides, I wore that to the last Toga party that I went to, sans the pillow case. Don’t wanna hide this mug, my friend. :-P
Unfortunately I found out I already have something planned Friday
will one of these happen again? If so if you guys could announce it a bit earlier that would be helpful, hope those of you that go have fun.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Well... Tonight Sucked...
Vicki & I appreciate the kind words and welcome. WE are going to finally meet Andrew and Nate, the Wizards (pardon the GunPun) behind being Stiff…
and some other Nuggets Fans we’ve heard about over the years… “Family”…
and of course to watch the Nugs beat the Lakers.
Bring your small flashlights and you just might get to see Vicki’s Nugget Logo on her tooth. Gotta love my wife!
Thanks!
Vicki's Husband
(Russ)
u guys are awesome
I always point you 2 out when we go to games. Wish I could get seats like yours though. The wife and I usually up in the atmosphere… But I still cheer loud n proud!!
Looking forward to meeting u guys.
Whats this nuggets tooth logo thing?
Ha!
Several years back, Vicki had a crown replaced. Her dentist got her a new crown with a tiny “Nuggets” Mountain Logo on it and of course she said… Yes! Put it on! :-)
Thanks!
Vicki's Husband
(Russ)
Have fun guys
I’ll go to Denver from my Spain sometime and I hope I can meet you
