Seattle meetup. August 2006.

matildaben — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 11:17:17 -0800

Seattle folks - let's meet up Thursday 8/31! Eamondaly's in town for Bumbershoot and he's staying downtown. I'd like to take recommendations for bars downtown that would be good for a group - doesn't a MeFite work at a bar in Belltown somewhere?

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong calendar page. I mean Thursday 8/31. Admin, could you change the date in the original post?

Hooray! Seattle!

Darn, I'm getting into town late Thursday evening (meeting the bf's folks in Tacoma for the first time), then we're off to Packwood on Friday or Saturday. Sorry I'll miss you all... maybe next time (assuming the bf's parents like me)!

I just moved down here, for real and permanent this time. So I could actually make this.

... but ... meeting metafilter people, I don't know....

I work at a bar downtown but I'm not working that evening. Check out this thread! http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/45412

We could meet at the Rendezvous...as of right now I'm pretty sure I can join...Elysian has been a meeting place for meetups a time or two...

blacklite, the Seattle MeFites are actually a very nice, normal group of people.

Haha, just kidding.

Elysian has always been great but I don't want to have to explain the buses to Eamon, so somewhere he can walk to is easier. The Rendezvous sounds good.

I am not afraid of your puny transit system! I am a Chicagoan! Also, pls fix yr monorail. Thx.

I'm in.

I work a couple blocks from the Rendezvous, it would be an excellent bar for this sort of thing. What time did you have in mind?

By: eamondaly

eamondaly — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 15:12:03 -0800

The Rendezvous sounds awesome. Let's say 6:30pm, Thursday 8/31, at the Rendezvous. Dig it.

Will attend and likely again fail to be photographed doing a tungsten shoutout for scody.

I'm so sad I'm gonna miss Scody.

The Rendezvous it is!

Sounds good! I'm there!

Damnit, I have a meeting that night. Sorry!

By: Slarty Bartfast

Slarty Bartfast — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 21:53:53 -0800

Sorry I'm gonna miss it, too. Getting a group of Seattleites together in the summer is damn near impossible. I'll see you people when it's cold and rainy.

Plus...

I thought I was the only one not at Burning Man this week.

I'm going to miss this one... I'm moving to Seattle(ish) on the next 23rd... see ya in the next one.

I'll try to be there

By: rossination

rossination — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 14:03:28 -0800

...some Seattle meFites are just ever so slightly below the drinking age. Oh well; perhaps we're not supposed to be able to have fun for a couple more years anyway.

By: rossination

rossination — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 14:04:12 -0800

(that was supposed to be in small, "whispering" font size - why does the preview lie to me?)

By: matildaben

matildaben — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 16:11:57 -0800

Rossination, we'll take other suggestions if you've got any. Plus, I've never seen anyone get kicked out of a pub for being underage. They'll just card you and bring you a soft drink.

Yeah, the Rendezvous is a restaurant as well. I think you're allowed there until 10pm.

By: blacklite

blacklite — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 18:43:20 -0800

Okay, I was going to try this, but I can't make it this Thursday. Deadlines. You know the drill. Have fun, everyone.

Sadly, I am trapped in job transistion land. I will be in Seaddled 9/11-9/12 for a medical appointment. Might be available 9/11 eve for a disaster party.

I won't be there until just a bit after 8. Will revelers still be in attendance?

Photos here. It was a small group (y2karl was there but not pictured), and we had a great time, although we left too early for Eamon's taste because we're all lameasses who had to go to work in the morning.

By: fatllama

fatllama — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 09:26:17 -0800

New gimick for Eamon?

By: y2karl

y2karl — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 10:25:28 -0800

Well, we did have a great time but I left early not because I had to go to work in the morning--I wish!--but because... I'm old. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

By: eamondaly

eamondaly — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 12:25:40 -0800

Thanks for coming out, y'all! We had a killer time. Long live Seattle and Rendezvous!

You'll have to forgive me for giving you a tough time about the hour: I'm just a greedy, greedy man.
