mpc7488, thanks again for keeping us cohesive!
I was thinking of the 9th or the 23rd. The weekend of the 15th and 16th are President's Day (and my birthday is on the 14th, which is also a holiday--but not due to my birthday.) So many people will be out of town, possibly including me.
Once again, you're welcome to convene at my place, but that means driving to Tacoma. Or we can find a venue up or around Seattle.
It will be good to see everyone again.

Looks like the stars are generally aligning around the 23rd... I'll put that date in as a placeholder.

Ok... so we're looking at the evening of the 23rd! I'll be coming back from a status run that day, but land at 4:15 so should be able to meet at 5:30 pm.
We have two options for location this time around:
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
We have two options for location this time around:
- Try something different and meet up in Tacoma. Mats has offered to host us and provide entertainment (maybe I made that second part up). The closest bus stop is Broadway and Division, he's walking distance from there. This would be a fun way to get together, and might bring in some new folks that don't normally make the trek up to downtown.
- Meet in our usual location, downtown Seattle. As our venue this time I suggest Frolik, on the 5th floor of the Red Lion Hotel (5th and Pike). They revamped it recently and it's quite nice with a good selection of drinks and food.
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I won't get back to Seattle until the middle of March, but perhaps I can make the next one.
Thanks for doing this!

Unfortunately I have to be in Phoenix again the week of the 20th. I am sorry; was really looking forward to this. Please do let me know when the next meeting is. Since I don't drive Tacoma is a bit difficult for me.

Alright, T-7 days and not a ton of responses for this one, so executive decision: we'll do Frolik this time, and Mats' another time when we can get more confirmed attendees.
Please post here if you're planning on coming, and I'll PM you my cell #. Hope to see a bunch of FTers there!
