Ok, so the americanada thread looks dead. Better take matters into my own hands...

Whose up for a meet up in Seattle? I suggest gasworks park as a location, and a friday around noon for a time.

Any takers?

Oh! Oh!
Kellsbells will go!

by **hack124x768** » Sat Mar 07, 2009 12:59 pm UTC

Hmm... 2/10, were already 20% of the way to being a sticky!

Have any suggestions for a date?

Haha, I just came into this thread thirty seconds before you did. I clicked on the "report post" thing, and when I finished, you had posted.

Well, it's amusing to me .. .
=/

Go to it, Kells!

I was just amused to discover this thread and see I was already attending.

Someone besides me actually reported it, and I don't know if it was you, but the report button in subsilver(?)--the default theme, anyway--is at the top of the post. IT is an exclamation mark.

Yeah, I reported it. I'm sure it will be gone in a few hours.

by **netcrusher88** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 7:33 am UTC

Totally there. I don't think I know anyone around here on these forums though.

by **hack124x768** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 8:19 am UTC

Okeydokey, theres another person. So right now we have enough for a decent game of poker at least. :p

Hooray! Although I suspect more people = more fun, so I hope we can gather up a few more forumites for this.

Do we have any general dates/plans yet?

by **hack124x768** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 8:44 am UTC

Shall we shoot for the end of April?

by **EstLladon** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 7:37 pm UTC

I'm doing internship at Microsoft at Redmond this summer. I'm up for shenanigans.

by **hack124x768** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 7:00 am UTC

5/10
Really? So few Seattle people here?

by **vatar** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 9:33 pm UTC

I'm in.

by **Shadic** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:07 pm UTC

I'd like to go, but I'm in Portland for school until mid June.

Also, I live in Olympia.

by **Proxiomic** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 5:01 am UTC

Wish I was home before summer so I could come - currently in the Midwest but I'm from the peninsula originally.

by **jaddes_green** » Mon Jun 15, 2009 6:06 pm UTC

hmm, looks like i missed this one, hopefully next time.

by **netcrusher88** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 12:08 am UTC

Hang on, did this happen? I didn't think it had ever been scheduled and kind of forgot the thread until it turned up in my egosearch.

by **Gentlelady** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 3:39 am UTC

I would love to go. But I won't be in Burein till December. ):

by **kinigget** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 4:36 pm UTC

this is something I would enjoy. I'll say I'm in tentatively. Depending on time and place.

by **Zorlin** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 9:13 pm UTC

Definitely interested, unless its in August.

by **jackisdead** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:53 am UTC

I'd be down for this if it hasn't happened yet.

by **Zorlin** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 9:11 pm UTC

I think we have a total of 10 people now! Hooray!

by **kellsbells** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 9:35 pm UTC

Only if everyone who once expressed interest is still available.

Somebody let me know if this ever actually does happen. I'm up for it.

I think if we have a set location and time and a longer leadup it'll actually happen. Like, September 5th or 6th maybe.

What would you suggest in terms of location? There's a cinema near my new place, as well as a pretty awesome cafe/restaurant thingy.

EDIT: "My new place" is in Bellevue, just so people know.

Heh, that's Bumbershoot weekend. I'll be highly occupied, unless people want to have a meetup at Bumbershoot. That would be excellent, actually.

Does that happen to be Lincoln Square? Because that is pretty close for me/I like that place.

Actually, that was a random suggestion that happened to be a weekend. It was mostly as an example.

It *can* be Lincoln Square - I've been there a fair bit and I quite like it, but the one I was referring to is like, a half-outdoors shopping complex.

EDIT: Crossroads Bellevue Shopping Centre is the name, I think.

by **kellsbells** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 10:17 pm UTC

Ah yes, I know that place too. Well, if we can find a group of people willing to go sometime (weekends are indeed preferable, and I'm much more available starting in late September), I'm open to either Crossroads or Lincoln or mostly anywhere.

by **netcrusher88** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 11:04 pm UTC

Bellevue sounds alright. Not so much Labor Day weekend though. There's Bumbershoot and PAX both going on that weekend, the latter of which I volunteer at.

by **Zorlin** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 11:10 pm UTC

How did I not know about this? I muuuust go.

by **netcrusher88** » Wed Aug 19, 2009 12:27 am UTC

Tickets are still on sale at paxsite.com

Too late to get it mailed, but there's will-call. Let me tell you the three-day pass is one hell of a deal. EDIT: less than 1k left, expected to sell out this week.

Damn, 3-day's sold out. I should have ordered earlier.

Is there any other option for 3-day passes? Like, will they be at the door?

EDIT: never mind, just bought two one-day's.

I'll be at PAX on Saturday and Sunday if anyone wants to meet me there. Throw me a PM and we'll meet up! Hope to see some of you there.

by **suffer-cait** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 4:56 pm UTC

i am in seattle now, would like to meet people, yes

by **kinigget** » Fri Aug 28, 2009 7:39 pm UTC

just posting to say I'm still interested, I just need time to get over to the mainland, I'm on Bainbridge Island, this makes getting anywhere slightly difficult.

by **suffer-cait** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 12:45 am UTC

i think my room mate is from bainbridge, i should go home with her sometime maybe?

by **kellsbells** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 2:39 am UTC

I'll be back in the city starting Sept. 24th and would like to hang with any or everyone. Nice to have you, cait!

by **kellsbells** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 7:10 pm UTC

Pardon my doublepost, but:

CVSoul has some plans to be in the city approximately October 8-13th. Since this is already one step closer to a meetup, it seems like a pretty good time to initiate a full-scale one. I realize this is ages in advance, but I think the extra time might be beneficial (considering we've been bad at actually getting anything together so far).

CV and I did a little discussing, and were thinking something on Oct. 10th (Saturday) would be nice, potentially including the following: Cupcake Royale (on Capitol Hill, maybe), walk downtown to do some sort of fun things, perhaps some geocaching, and anything else cool that somebody thinks of.

by **kinigget** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 8:12 pm UTC

Bainbridge Island is nice enough suffer-cait, but there isn't a whole lot to do on the island, there are some nice parks, but they're all pretty small. Most of the interesting stuff is private property. Still, I'd say it's worth coming over with a friend.

and getting back to the issue at hand, October is most likely doable for me, I almost never have any other engagements.
