I went down to Colorado Springs for the annual Rocky Mountain Skyline Booksellers Association conference today. It is the annual get-together for the college bookstores in the Rocky Mountain region. Much to my surprise, the speakers were very good and the educational sessions very worthwhile. The best part, however, was going to The Golden Bee afterwards. It is an actual British Pub, disassembled and rebuilt on the grounds of the Broadmore Hotel. The bartender, Mike, was very friendly, and I joined in the conversation of the other patrons at the bar. It has been almost a quarter of a century since I was last here, but it was still the same. If it wasn't 70 miles away from home, I would make it my regular hangout.
