My preference is for the evening/happy hour of Thursday March 19 but I could do any evening except Saturday the 21st, if there's another day that works well for more people. [more inside]
Hello Seattle!
I am taking a long trip down the west coast before nursing school eats me alive and locks me in Philly for a year. First stop: Seattle, from April 14th-20th! I would love to meet any and all local mefites, but I've never been here and know nothing. Hope Me!
Edit: Dinner at Marination Ma Kai on the 16th at 7 it is! Hope to see many of you there! [more inside]
It's my birthday! And my meetup!
Damn it, Christmas. Always stealing my thunder. Let's have dinner + sauce as you want it on my birthday, 12/26. I'd love to meet some mefites too! We're eating at the wonderful Kingfish Cafe in North Capitol Hill with reservations at 8pm. Afterwards, we'll go to the Unicorn, The Hideout or Rockbox Karaoke (whichever is least crowded). I look forward to seeing whoever can come on this little notice and around this stupid holiday -- and to getting a more solid group of Seattle meetup people in general! (Please no "maybe" answers - I will need to change the reservation.) There will be cake.
Visiting Seattle/Tacoma Area - Show Me Your Rain!
I'm planning on moving to the area next Spring, and this is my research trip. I've wanted to do this since 1977, so it's long overdue, and I'm ridiculously excited. I'd love to have a meetup! I'll be there Wednesday afternoon and I'm leaving early Tuesday morning.
(Crossposting to Seattle, also.) [more inside]

West Seattle Picnic
I'd like to have a picnic at Roxhill Park and hang out while kids play on the (exciting, new) playground. (There's also a skatepark, a large field, and a marsh walk.) Who wants to come hang out on a non-pouring-rain Saturday afternoon? (There's only a 10% chance of rain next Saturday, at least right now, so maybe then?)
Update: let's meet at noon on Saturday, 3 May. I'll still be there if there's light rain.

Christmas Bowling Party at Imperial Lanes
Imperial Lanes on Rainier Avenue will be open and near empty on Christmas, and, for that matter, New Year's Day. I and some friends will be there on both days. We had a blast at the last bowling meetup we had. All of you at loose ends this Chistmas evening are welcome to join us. And ditto for New Year's Day, as well...
grouse's last night in town
I'm moving to Toronto in just a couple of days! Unfortunately I don't have enough nights left for a dedicated MeFi meetup night but I'm going to try to get together all my friends at Hale's Ales for some local beers. I hope my MeFi friends can make it too! WARNING: you may have to interact with non-MeFites. People might not know who Matt Haughey or Jessamyn are.

Welcome me back to Seattle!
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]

Non-RPG games in Beacon Hill, Seattle
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]
non-RPG games in southish Seattle
I'm wondering if there is enough interest to have a non-RPG gaming session in one of the more southern neighborhoods of Seattle. I could host in my home in Beacon Hill (preferred), or at a public venue somewhere not incredibly far away, such as Georgetown, Capitol Hill, or Seward Park. Tuesday or Fridays work best for me (anytime), second choice would be Sunday late afternoon/evening, third choice would be Saturday. Saturdays that would work for me in the foreseeable future are October 20th and November 10th. Sundays that wouldn't work are October 28th and November 4th. [more inside]
I am in Seattle for a night
I am in Seattle for business THIS THURSDAY the 20th. I am staying at the SilverCloud Inn near the stadium.

Let's buy grouse some beer!
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]
Board Game Meetup in Seattle
The last board game meetup was a ton of fun. Obviously, we should do it again. [more inside]
Board Games in Seattle
At the last meetup, there was a hunger for a board gaming day. Let's do it. [more inside]
Greenwood meet-up
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?
The Lungfish Meets Seattle
Hiya, folks! I'm in Seattle for, I'm guessing, about a week. I've got one meetup scheduled for The Unicorn Bar at 7 p.m. on Thursday, 26 April, but I'm open to another, more MeFi-specific gathering if Emeralders prefer.
Bowling at Imperial Lanes
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]

Glenn Greenwald at UW, Drinks After?
*****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]
Bowling at Imperial Lanes
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]
Big Ideas Social Club in Jet City
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]

Kthxbi's Seattle Wedding Reception
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!

Seattle International Film Festival - Whisperer in Darkness
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.
