To state it simply, I'd only like to play games that I actually like at this session! If I have to learn yet another vampire game with a thousand rules, as always seems to happen when I attend games meetups, I'm gonna cry. [more inside]

An evening of electronic-ish music for annual Magma Festival fundraiser for Seattle's best non-profit internet radio station, Hollow Earth Radio [more inside]

Okay - let me preface this by saying that I don't really want to be the center of attention. But dammit, after spending 6 months in Moscow, Idaho (long story) I demand a meetup upon my return to Seattle. [more inside]

stet and I are going to Ballard FM tomorrow. It is open 10am - 3pm. We will probably be there by about 11am, and hang around until at least noon, probably more like 1-2pm. Would anyone like to meet at Hattie's or Bastille or [insert place that is better to hang out because we don't know Ballard anymore]. [more inside]

I will be hosting card, word, board and strategy games in my home in Beacon Hill this Saturday. IMPORTANT: The address given here is of the VA hospital, which is very nearby my home (metafilter will not allow me to simply use cross-streets and I don't feel comfortable posting my address). Actual address will be memailed to those who RSVP. Start time is 3 PM, and end time is whenever the last person leaves. Feel free to come whenever you want and leave whenever you want. Also feel free to bring games or come gameless. Libations and refreshments will be provided, though additional are also welcome. [more inside]

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. [more inside]

You might have seen the post about the ENCODE project. grouse was on that giant project of multi-team, collaborative, awesomeness. Any other project participants welcome to hit me up for a beer too! And anyway, we haven't had a meetup in a while (that I've actually gone to) so this may just be an excuse to have a meetup. [more inside]

The last board game meetup was a ton of fun. Obviously, we should do it again. [more inside]

At the last meetup, there was a hunger for a board gaming day. Let's do it. [more inside]

Seattle hasn't seen much meet-up action lately, we've discussed a meet up in Greenwood before, how about we make it happen? Possible dates: Sometime in the next few weeks. Possible venue: Naked City?

I have spent the evenings of Christmas Day, New Year's Day and a number of Sundays since bowling with a friend at Imperial Lanes in Rainier Valley. We have had a wonderful time every time. Experience strongly suggests a meetup there on another Sunday evening would work out fine. Especially since this time it seems fairly likely that it will not be snowing.

So, I thought I would submit the place -- again -- for a bowling meetup on April 15th. [more inside]

*****CANCELLED: The Greenwald talk has been cancelled. We'll have a meetup another time.****** Glenn Greenwald is speaking at the University of Washington on civil liberties erosion, on Thursday April 5th at 7:00pm. Perhaps it would be fun to attend the event and then head to the Avenue for drinks after? Here is a link to the event [more inside]

I spent the evenings of both Christmas Day and New Year's Day bowling with a friend at Imperial Lanes down in Rainier Valley. We had a wonderful time. I can't say what it would be like on a regular night, but there were plenty of lanes open both times we went. I can't speak for what it would be like on a weeknight but I suspect another Sunday evening would work out fine.

So, I thought I would submit the place as a bowling meetup venue. [more inside]

Moved to Thursday night (which hopefully works better for folks) Big Ideas Social Club is your chance to drink above the herd and come together with Seattle's freshest and brightest to talk about the stuff that makes our nerd gears crank. [more inside]

From the depths of AskMe and IRL was born Big Ideas Social club, a part-salon, part-gabfest about getting together at bars and chatting about neat ideas, works of art and creations that make us happier people. A year later, I'm ready to bring it to my newly adopted Seattle. [more inside]

Cross Dressing Misfits Cover Band! Seattle Darlings Glenn Or Glennda are playing their tenth anniversary show tonight at the Crocodile. [more inside]

Hey, Seattle persons! Me and iamkimiam and lewistate and DiscourseMarker are all gonna be in town on Tuesday, October 11th for an academic conference thing, so let's get together at Vito's at 7!

Hey Seattle MeFites, I'm moving to your neck of the woods to go to UW in September. Let's meet up so you can teach me the ways of this ornery town. [more inside]

I'll be in town for a conference and would like to parlay with some Seattle MeFites on Saturday, July 23 in the late afternoon/evening. Update: Sorted! Collins Pub at 7:00pm followed by Temple Billiards at 9:00pm. [more inside]

Sunday - June 26th - Seattle - Belltown - Pride Parade! [more inside]

I got myself up and married about a week ago in the midwest and we're having a Seattle wedding reception this weekend in the Lower Woodland Park. It's going to be a big potluck filled with people from UW and the two big software shops in town and I'd love if some of you can make it too. It probably wouldn't be very great in terms of a meetup meetup because there will (hopefully) be like 100 other people there, but since I've met a lot of you through past meetups, consider yourselves invited! [more inside]

Who's up for a drink followed by some Lovecraftian horror? Whisperer in Darkness is coming to the Seattle International Film Festival, with showings on June 3 at midnight and on June 5 at 9 - rather boringly I favour the 9 o'clock showing as I have to bve tucked up in bed by midnight but I am open to arguments.

Hello Seattle MeFites! I will be in your lovely city for a conference and was hoping I could meet you for drinks, etc. on the evening of Saturday April 30th? [more inside]

I'll be in Seattle the weekend of April 8-10, and I'd love to see you all. Yes, all of you. Saturday evening works best for me - 7:30? 8 pm? But I leave it to more experienced Seattleites to choose a venue. mrzarquon will be in town as well, so you get two for the price of one! Site confirmed: Shorty's it is! Thanks, Jawn - one of us will search you out to let you know we're there.

That tattered fragment of the ghost of its former self, the Fun Forest sees its last weekend ever fall on the first weekend of the New Year. After 7 PM, Sunday, January 2nd, 2011, there will no more rides, games, lazer tag or bumper cars. So, I propose Bumper Cars at 5 PM and then, after 7 PM, conversations that sparkle like wine, with finger foods and beverages on the side, at a warm, convivial and comfortable venue location to be determined later but not far from the Seattle Center. Maybe a venue along the lines of the 1st Avenue Elysian--that was a fun meetup... [more inside]

I'm in town for the weekend, and was already planning to meet with folks at Shorty's before knowing about Jordan, Jess GO!. But I am stubborn and propose we meet there again. And then I am planning to go to the Cinerama's 3D showing of Tron Legacy at 7pm, for those who want to come along.

If you are a Jordan, Jesse, Go! fan, Mr. Jordan Morris himself will be doing a meetup in Seattle. I will be in attendance, and I assume there's some overlap between the MeFi crowd and the MaxFun crowd, hence the crosspost. The event details have already been hammered out on the MaxFun side of things: Shorty's, Fri Dec 17th, starting at 8pm

I just remembered that the Fun Forest will be gone soon and wanted to propose a bumper car meet up before it closes. [more inside]

Rally to Restore Sanity Seattle will support the national Rally to Restore Sanity. Who wants to be part of a local MeFi contingent? [more inside]

I'll be visiting Seattle! Word on the street (thanks lattiboy!) is that Cactus on Alki has a very good happy hour from 3-6. Food is really great and $5 margaritas are very boozy. 3PM Sunday @ Cactus on Alki sound good to people? [more inside]

y2karl will lead us on a tour of Lake Washington by canoe. The WA 520 bridge will be closed this weekend for an annual inspection, making the experience more quiet and lovely. Come for the canoeing, stay for the drinks. Or just do one or the other. [more inside]
