What to do in Denver Colorado instead of Amway WWDB Spring Leadership 2012

This post about the things to do in Denver Colorado instead of attending Amway WWDB Spring Leadership 2012 is partly borrowed from last year’s post about things to do in Denver during Free Enterprise Days (FED) 2011.

This year the Amway conference WWDB Spring Leadership will be held in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center April 28 and 29 2012.

Keeping up with my theme of finding better and lower priced things to do in cities holding Amway functions, instead of going to the brainwashing convention I’ve tried to round up a few fun things to do in Denver Colorado. Most of the fun things seem to involve driving out of Denver and hitting the ski slopes! Hmm end of April may be a little late for skiing. I’ll see what else I can find.

Who saw the movie Cliffhanger? The Denver Mint was featured in it transporting out of circulation money. Hijacking and plane crashes and action packed scenes. So the United States Mint is a good choice. And its free! Woo hoo! Sucks that you can’t bring your purse into this place. Where you gonna stash some cash! I love that you are allowed to bring your cell phone inside but if you whip it out you will be escorted out by Mint Security. If ambots are visiting they’d have to call in extra security to escort out those damned ambots because of their fuck you I’m better than everyone else attitude and I’ll use my fucking cell phone if I want to! http://www.usmint.gov/mint_tours/index.cfm?action=StartReservation

Coors Brewery Tour - Free tour. Free beer tasting. Need I say anything else? Here’s the website for more info. http://www.millercoors.com/golden-brewery-tour.aspx

Denver Zoo - Oh how I love a zoo! As long as its not the Amway zoo! It is nice that most of the places Amway holds functions have a zoo. Coin toss! Should I visit the baboons at the Denver Zoo or the baboons stomping across the stage at Amway WWDB Spring Leadership? Admission is $15 or slightly cheaper if you’re over 65 years or younger than 12 years. A couple could spend a day at the zoo and go out for a really nice dinner all for less than the cost of one $125 ticket to Spring Leadership. http://www.denverzoo.org/

Denver Art Museum - if you’re into looking at works of art this is the place to be. It costs $13 or slightly cheaper if you’re a Colorado resident. Where’s that coin for the toss? Museum or zoo? Goodbye Picasso hello lions. http://www.denverartmuseum.org/

Wings Over The Rockies Air and Space Museum - I’ve visited a few aircraft museums and this is something I’d consider seeing as how I still haven’t gotten over the Spruce Goose being moved out of Long Beach! Not that goosie is in Colorado. I think it went somewhere in Oregon. Admission is $11. Slightly cheaper if you’re over 65 or under 12. http://www.wingsmuseum.org/

Molly Brown House Museum - If you’re a Titanic trivia buff you’ll enjoy this museum where the unsinkable Molly Brown lived. Admission is $8, slightly cheaper for other age groups. But April is the month to be here because to honor the 100 year anniversary of the disaster all month long they are having Titanic Tours - cost $10.  Lets see. We have our choice. Going to an evening of Amway horrors for $125 or going to a place where someone lived through the horrors of the sinking Titanic. I know which one I’m choosing! http://www.mollybrown.org/

Want to do some shopping? Denver’s 16th Street Mall is a much better place to spend the day than stuck inside an auditorium listening to a bunch of aging Diamonds who use Amway functions to make their real money. Free shuttle buses and free Wifi anywhere up and down the pedestrian mall. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Street_Mall

WWDB Amway Spring Leadership sucks!

And there are better things to do in Denver than attend a fucking Amway function!
