I've got about 90 minutes before my flight. If there's another Redditor here I'll buy you an adult beverage at the brewery at the end of Concourse C.
EDIT: I'm at Gate C32 sitting by a giant grey backpack. I have a black t-shirt, jeans, and a silver Dell laptop on my lap. I'm sitting by a giant grey backpack and a black leather purse. If you are here and would rather just come say hello than post, identify yourself with the phrase, "The narwhal bacons at midnight."
EDIT2: But I'm gonna go pee now so if you wander over and don't see me, wait a minute.
EDIT3: Done peeing, found a power outlet, plugged the laptop in, come on over!
EDIT4: Hey, guy in the striped shirt photoshopping a photo of your girlfriend, I see you glancing over here. Are you a Redditor?
EDIT5: I'll be back Sunday night at 10:30PMish, and I leave from the San Francisco airport Sunday at 7:20, so if anyone else will be in Denver or SF on Sunday, you should mention that also.
Additionally, I feel compelled to mention that the guy in the hat sitting behind me does not appear to be a Redditor but he really should be, he's looking at a bunch of programming forums. I wish we had little business cards we could hand out with the alien and "JOIN US" or something.
EDIT6: Oops, gotta board. It was a fun thought, maybe see one of you Sunday! Later narwhaligators.
EDIT7: OK, I arrived safely in San Francisco. Going to visit my cuttlefish friends tomorrow at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium.

Meet me in the mens room at the Minneapolis/St.Paul airport. I'll tap your shoe with mine.

"The narwhal bacons at midnight" is now the official phrase to identify yourself as a redditor.

So this actually gave me an interesting idea: What if we had a reddit for airport meetings? The idea is you could post the name of the airport you're in, what gate you're at, etc, for quick meetups with traveling redditors. Sound good?

I don't know the legality of it, but hey, why not give it a twirl?
Here is a business card, as you asked, with the alien and the words "join us"
May I recommend the indestructible paper, so as to save the alien?

this could be pretty easily abused, but somebody should come up with some sort of "reddittrack" system, wherein bored redditors in public places could ping some central server and trigger a beacon that beckons fellow redditors towards them.
could get stalkery, but also could be cool. maybe an Iphone app?

Gate C32, near the smokers' lounge, the Einstein Bros bagels, and that beer and breakfast place?
Never heard of it.
Edit: Yes, smokers' lounges. There are at least two in DIA.
"Feel free to pay $14 for a shitty cigar," is, I think, their motto.

Next time you plan to spend a long time around an airport, let me know. I travel often, with free flight benefits. I'd fly there just for that free adult beverage.
