I’m now thinking I have a prior engagement that prevents me from going to this one, but I should go to one of these soon.

I am provisionally up for this, schedule, kids and weird traffic conditions allowing.

Agh, not able to make it this time - hopefully at another meet up?
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 4:54 PM on January 17, 2019

I might have folks in town but if something emerges at a time when I can drop in then I will.

Sounds like you're in Capitol Hill - that should be a very good area for the kind of thing you are looking for.

Lats meetup at Pinebox went pretty well I thought. Bit small and loud, but that's unfortunately common. IIRC the food is very meat heavy though.

Sadly I am on the Olympic peninsula - which I can thoroughly recommend checking out on any return visit - so it will have to be next time!

Aw crap - that may actually be my error. Apologies to anyone coming on the Sunday who got their hopes up.

I was thinking of pitching a meetup in the Greenwood Death Zone in late Feb, so N.Seattle should get covered in any case.

One of us, one of us...

We are upstairs!

Great chatting with you! I'll be checking out those shows.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 11:48 AM on September 19, 2015

Huh. We were just talking about this.

It's a book, needs a full margin pun.

If anyone wants to kill time before the event grabbing a pint at a total shitty dive I know one a block away.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 9:21 PM on August 8, 2015

Is everyone at worldcon? Anyway, this is the SCL adjacent dive I mentioned: Bernard's on Seneca

I usually point people at A Colder War, which is a fave of mine, though not necessarily representative of his later work. This tour seems to be in support of his Laundry series, so I'd recommend checking that out - I believe there are a couple of big omnibuses of the first few Laundry stories now.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 8:36 AM on July 29, 2015

Possibly not an omnibus, but The Atrocity Archive and The Jennifer Morgue are available together.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 5:49 PM on July 29, 2015

Ah, fair enough.

Have left the vicinity of the corporate mermaid on light rail, should be there pretty soon.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 5:26 PM on August 11, 2015

Had a great time, hope you all make it home safe and remember to tuck cstross in.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 11:19 PM on August 11, 2015

Also cstross has A++ cat picture game.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 11:48 PM on August 11, 2015

Bah. I'll never make the big time...
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 12:14 AM on March 20, 2015

Looks like I won't be making it! Have a good time, all! (Also I guess this means I should set up a May meet too)

GREENWOOD DEATHZONE KARAOKE. Maybe not. Not as a starter.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 9:26 PM on July 8, 2014

Pencil me in.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 8:52 PM on January 29, 2014

Sure! Actually that might require a bit of a triangular trade as it'll be the store selling the comic, but I'm up for that.

Smith (sorry, not Smiths) is a pretty cool place, and apparently Dan Savages favorite bar.

Events may include... my 1000th post! Live!
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 3:49 PM on January 14, 2014

Apparently Hellojed is sitting alone at it :-S - will be there shortly.

Enjoying ourselves more than Portland.

I totally failed to drunk-post my 1000th MeFi FPP, probably for the best...
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 9:39 AM on January 19, 2014

Upcoming Seattle meetup.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 4:31 PM on December 30, 2013

I can't make it - you'll have to stay.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 2:50 PM on September 28, 2013

I am sort of up for this but my ability to get away from parenting duties is so variable I'd be happier seeing if I can fit into the plans of others than trying to propose plans and not showing up.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 10:22 PM on August 27, 2013

I've got a 1pm meeting but let me know of you're up for an early/short lunch - I work next to the Library.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 9:02 AM on August 28, 2013

Sounds good!
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 12:28 AM on August 4, 2013

Looking good for actually making this one. You island folk will be missed, though.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 9:49 AM on August 7, 2013

About to head up. Reference pic for referencing.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 6:12 PM on August 7, 2013

Ok, I am here - not seeing a sign.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 7:39 PM on August 7, 2013

Found them! Technically I would argue this is not the lounge.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 7:58 PM on August 7, 2013

I think we are progressing to the Pacific Inn.
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 9:32 PM on August 7, 2013

Great night!

Last one. An unchallenged record.

Brouwers is okay during the week, so it might be a chance to go there when it is not its evil weekend self (BROuwers).
posted to MeFi IRL by Artw at 1:31 PM on July 23, 2013

Hmm. Looks like I'm busy. Have fun all!
