I wish I could go bowling :(

But I don't think I want to brave the Amtrak Adventure this weekend.

Is anyone else from Portland going? If so maybe I'll try to head up as well...

At long last, confirmation of my suspicion that no one actually lives in Seattle.

Except Matildaben and Lipstick Thespian, of course.

I'm still working out the transport issues. warbaby made mention of a possible ride - which, if it happens, will ensure my participation.

If I can't work out a ride, it will depend entirely on when I get into town. If the flight runs too late, I'm just going to hit the sack.

But I want so badly to come and play.

Shit, y'all. BOWLING? I promise, once I quit my job I'll come see you guys every day.

I can't make it this time - I have already commited myself to another gathering.

The Great Seattle Knitting Wars of 2005 will have to be staged another day.

warbaby, does Der Raketenmensch have your phone #?

There are flickr photos of our previous bowling meetup in May.

Foot fault!

I do, indeed, have a competing comittment. I'll be out in Lake Union amidst the Xmas fleet, courtesy of my realtor, showing off pix of our house remodel, which completes Wednesday. We move in beginning this weekend.

Sniff.

Goodbye, Capitol Hill!

Hauptstuffe! My email is in my profile and my phone is a listed number. No cell phone, though, but I assume there will be copious electronic devices to worship at the meetup.

Rocky, email me your flight # and I'll home in on the airport at the appropriate time. If you've got a cell phone, contact matildaben and she can figure out how we can maintain comms for the extraction operation inside the HSA high-security zone. You will be able to recognize our assault team by the American flags.

What are you drinking?

White Russians, duh. ;)

I drink bourbon.

Rocks, shot, or water back?

And what's your arrival time, good buddih?
posted by warbaby at 6:49 PM on November 30, 2005

I usually drink it neat. I'm due to arrive at 8:32 local time - I'll send you details in an email.

Rideboard: I'm heading south from B'ham Friday evening. Pickups along I-5? Email is now visible on profile page. Oops. It's visible on MetaChat, too.

Rocketman, I need your arrival time and airline. If you are coming in anywhere near 8pm, I'll go to the airport first. If you are coming after 9pm, I'll be at the bowling alley and then make the run. Failing that, you can call matildaben or any of the other attendees you have a cell for when you get there, but I'd just as soon roll in for the pickup when you are coming off the plane, so there's no waiting at the airport.

roger wilco. I'll be pulling into the departures pickup zone for your airline about 8:45 pm with drink
posted by warbaby at 10:15 AM on December 1, 2005

I'm there.
posted by kindall at 11:48 PM on December 1, 2005

Gaaaaah! I left home without the printout of Rocketman's flight info. All I need is the airline so I go to the right gate for pickup. I packed everything else but left his email sitting in my printer. Aaaaaaaah! Plese hope me.
