Thu September 20 at 8:00 PM, Hooverville Bar
1721 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA, USA (Map & Directions)
I am in Seattle for business THIS THURSDAY the 20th. I am staying at the SilverCloud Inn near the stadium. We should get drinks at Hooverville, because I can walk there from the hotel.
I might even bring my coworker along.

If folks do have concerns about the location, I can switch it to the elysian, but I've been to the elysian and not hooverville.

Hooverville is pretty fun, more divey than the Elysian. The area is a tad on the industrial side, but I can't really say much about it after 8 - I always went there with an afterwork crowd from the Starbucks corporate office up the street and we'd pretty much clear out by then.

I can't make it. Dang.

If anyone were ever interested in doing anything in Seattle not involving such a loud/distracting atmosphere, I'd be up for it. I really want to go to more IRLs (!) but I apparently can't handle bars and gaming parlors.

Sorry I missed you! Have a good trip.

parrot_person, you are welcome to propose a meetup.

parrot_person: I apparently can't handle bars and gaming parlors.

If you do propose a meetup, you might find you have more people interested than you'd think. I don't mind bars/gaming parlors, but I have difficulty hearing anyone in them.

Yup -- I once organized a lunch meetup in a suburban sandwich shop, and other people came.

Loud/Distracting: Hooverville is actually pretty quiet most nights. I've conducted a lot of meetings there over the years. Free peanuts, too.

I'll be up to my neck in meetings and work, but I hope you guys have fun!

Oh, I thought this was last night for some reason. I'm going to be out of town on Thursday, though, so I still can't make it.

Darn it! I keep missing the meetups. I'll get there one day!

Hey Guys!

I forgot that the title was misleading.

I will be in Seattle Thursday night (in two days).

So this can still happen.

I've not been to the hooverville before, thanks for picking it. Divey is good.

I'm tentative at the moment as I've got another commitment earlier that might run late.

I probably can't make it. I will be going to a Science Online event and it may not get out early enough to make it.

Checked in at silver cloud, dealing with end of day stuff, then walking to Hoover around 7:50ish

Im not going to make it, sorry guys. I hope you do a return visit mrzarquon. Enjoy the beer and pinnies!
