Jim, my suggestions are as follows:
1. If you haven't, discuss your predicament with Steve and Jeff. Not to try to clear Allen coming, but so they know what's going on, and if they do happen to talk to Allen, or if he does happen to call one of them, they know the situation.
Depending on the situation
2.a. Never mention it again in Allen's presence, go out to Colorado, board your ass off, and carry on with life. When Allen says something like "Shit bra, I wanted to go to that. I wish I'd known more about it..." then simply say something like "yeah, i hear you. that's what i'm talking about, word up and shit" and leave the room.
2.b. bite the bullet and tell Allen that it's a highschool reunion, and y'all will do it some other time, it's already planned, etc. this could come back to bite you in the ass if Allen excludes from something in the future, but you're saying your o.k. with that.
I would tend towards b. you can be honest with someone without being rude. and just make a different plan with Allen some time in the future, if he's not that good a friend, then don't worry about it.
