mpc7488 and others,
I'm about to leave for the airport and will have intermittent internet access while I'm away. (Yes, I'll write a trip report.)
Count me in for the 5th regardless of the time and venue.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

Scott from Hackmytrip hosts an occasional meetup. Don't know if you may want to combine efforts.
He doesn't have a next one scheduled, but the meetup group is here if you want to sign up:

Thanks Carl. Scott knows about these meetings, I forwarded the link when I set it up - and in fact I attended his last meetup! Thanks for the heads up though.
I'm thinking about hosting in my building, Via6, which has a lot of good public spaces to hang out and a Tom Douglas restaurant (Tanaka San). It's on 6th and Lenora, close to several bus routes, 4 blocks from Westlake Station, and has a parking garage (entrance off Lenora). How's this location work for everyone?
Timing: Considering 4-6 pm, just like the last one, it seemed to work well.

Think "happy hour"-ish, but yes, we all got food (and drinks) last time. We'll be meeting in the restaurant.

TanakaSan is a great venue; we had some really good munchies and drinks when we were back home last Aug ... not sure if I can get a kitchen pass for a couple hours, but I will definitely make an effort to show up

I can make the next meetup in Tanaka San - may be a little tardy depending on the game

So who's going? I'm not sure if I'm able to make it depending on how congested the border is.

Ok, TanakaSan is a go! Shifting the start time to 4:30 pm to match the dinner schedule.
Attendees: Mats, Slipless, ldsant, Biggles209, maybes are jrl22 and SilverChris (on the way in from Vancouver mid-trip report
).
I'll PM everyone on the list above with my cell number. Everyone else, please feel free to continue responding in the thread, or just show up if you can, which is also fine

T minus 1.5 hours and counting - final bump. If you're local and didn't see this before, please feel free to join us! Sounds like we'll have 8-10 folks attending.

Hi there Seattle folks,
Well, the new year is in full swing, and everyone's settling back in to their routines (or forging new ones). How about another get-together, sometime after the Superbowl? Any dates work well in particular?

I'm out of town the week of Feb 10. Otherwise, any date should work.
