I can't make it up, a surprise family visit came up.

Unfortunately, I have an old friend's wedding to go to at that exact time here in town, so I won't be able to make the trip up from Olympia to Seattle. Plus, it's a Mormon affair, so I won't even get to drink at said wedding. :-(
Oh well, maybe next time. Of course, I'll be in Seattle the day after the meetup. *sigh*

No. No, I will most likely not be there. No vehicle, other plans, &c. But I'll send good vibes in your general direction.

oops!
I posted w/out seeing this - in a hurry making dinner, i guess. Sorry!
On the off chance that post gets nuked, I did offer a contribution:
"(P.S.: I am bringing my old-school Ace of Aces books to throw down, middle-school lunchroom stylie, on a non-MeFite who may be attending. Others with specimens of geeketry past are invited to join me in show and tell. By our nerdliness shall we be known!)"
So sorry!

Please make a cardboard cutout of me to stick at the table, the Elysian and their gardenburgers-with-bacon are one of the things I miss about Seattle.

Alas, no: the Elysian is a five minute walk from home, but I'll be out of town for a wedding this weekend.

Sadly, I will not be able to attend.
It just had to be on a Friday night, didn't it?

Dammit, why do I keep missing these things? I'm going dancing at the Timberline that night, even tho most of my Fridays are indeed spent at the Elysian. -sigh-

Yeah, no kidding ... always the worst date possible. If it was the weekend after ... well, I hope to move to seattle for job opportunities, so I would be coming. ;)
Alas, this weekend, I got invited to be on the advisory board of a volunteer organization, and we're doing a planning retreat on the oregon coast, so I'll be mounting up my trusty iron steed and rumbling out there for the weekend. (Or, since my iron steed is mostly aluminum, and it's a very tightly tuned sport-touring bike with a very quiet exhaust, it's more like whirring out to the coast... not as satisfying to say, tho.)

Forgive me if I missed a discussion about this before, but can we have a bit more notice than 1 day in the future?

tristeza, there was a MeTa post here on May 29th. I thought a reminder post during the week would be a nice addition, but other than littering MeTa with posts, I'm not sure what else I could have done.
That said, we'll have another shortly. Seems like there's a good group of people up here, so MeFiPNW2.0 is not far away at all, methinks.

Hopefully we'll see a good number of people.
Anyone who wants to make the trip to Seattle - now's your chance. Anyone in Seattle, you have no excuse. We know where you live and we'll come find you if you don't show up.
