+TravelingViking Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 The last time I was in Seattle (Nov 04) we had a great TB swap meet event. I now have my next trip scheduled and would like to see if we can repeat something similar. The weekend I will be in the Seattle area is the 12th/13th of November. If I do some heavy collecting in the weeks before the trip, I am sure I can come up with some 20 or so travellers that I bring from Europe. Comments/Suggestions for places? Olaf Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) Where will you be staying and what time are you shooting for? I'd be more than happy to set something up. Oh, and if there is any way you could find my Slug again and bring him home? After a year in Germany, he's anxious to get back... Edited October 15, 2005 by Allanon Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Last time was a blast, looking forward to this time! Quote Link to comment
+TravelingViking Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 Where will you be staying and what time are you shooting for? I would prefer one of the following two: Saturday 12th, evening - pub/bar? or Sunday 13th, morning - breakfast meeting? Staying with friends in Renton, but don't mind to drive 'anywhere'...

+TravelingViking Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 I released a TB in Finland in July 2003, it was in Japan and is now in the Seattle area. It would be a blast if someone could bring it to this swap meet!!! Traveling Crawler As a reward I offer a TravelingViking Geocoin! TTV Geocoin Olaf Quote Link to comment
+Prying Pandora Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 If it's on Saturday evening, I'll come! Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'm sure it will be on Saturday evening, it's just finding the place. I have LittleBlue checking on the Redhook. But there's always where we were last year as well... Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'll try to talk the Mrs into it. Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Darn! I already have something Sat evening. I guess I'll have to miss it. Quote Link to comment
+TravelingViking Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Any suggestion for a place and time yet? If we do it on Saturday, I prefer early evening as I have another 'meeting' later that evening. Olaf Quote Link to comment
+TravelingViking Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Oh, and if there is any way you could find my Slug again and bring him home? After a year in Germany, he's anxious to get back... GOT IT!!! Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I'm thinking we might want to go back to where we ended up last year (Waimea Brewing Co & Restaurant), unless someone has an issue with that...but we're running out of time to get an event scheduled... So...Opionions?, Suggestions?, Who's on First? Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Oh, and if there is any way you could find my Slug again and bring him home? After a year in Germany, he's anxious to get back... GOT IT!!! I did see that the other day...you are a good man and a skilled slug hunter Olaf! Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I've arranged with Waimea to have the same area of the facility we were in last year again this year. 6:00PM for a couple-three hours. Hopefully I can get an event posted/approved soon. Quote Link to comment
+kiwimonster Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I don't see Sweden on your list, but if you happen to find yourself there, our travel bug Portlandia has been stuck in Norway/Sweden for quite some time. We released it in Perth, Australia in July 2003 with the goal of coming home to Portland, Oregon; it made it to Nebraska, before heading to Sweden. It spent 9 months in a cache in Norway with no finds in that time before it recently started moving again. Would love to have it move closer to home. Quote Link to comment
+Prying Pandora Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I've arranged with Waimea to have the same area of the facility we were in last year again this year. 6:00PM for a couple-three hours. 6:00? Where is Waimea? Depending on where it is, I may not be able to make the event because I can't leave Kent until 6:30. Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) Sorry PP. I forgot you are busy on Saturday afternoons. I'm sure we'll be there until at least 8:00 if not later. But in my own defense, no one was replying to my request for input, so I went with what I thought was best since Olaf asked for early evening. BTW, Olaf, is 6:00 early enough for you? The event page is now set up and approved. As for your question about where it is, the back of the Waimea faces the parking lot for the Marina, and the front is on Central Way (the main East-West road through Kirkland).

+Allanon Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Great. Looking forward to seeing you and the Slug again. To everyone else, please post a 'will attend' note on the cache page if you will be there. If we get more than the 30-35 I've reserved for, I'll need to call them back. Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have three TB's that want to travel to other countries, but I can't make the event - is there anyone from the southend that wants to give them a lift to the event so that they can get a ride across the water? Quote Link to comment

At the very least, Jester, we could meet in Renton at the entry to the Lazy B spread on a workday. Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I would offer, but I won't be able to make the event. Prying Pandora does intend to go though. As I recall she said she would be there, but late. Quote Link to comment

+SeabeckTribe Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 We plan to be at the Event and bring the papooes. Would like to know if the Event will be kid frendly. What price range does the restaurant have? Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yes the event is kid friendly, as is the resturant. Here is a link for the resturant's website, and there is a link for the menu there. May be a little pricy for some, but there are other fast food and sandwich shops in town if the menu doesn't appeal to some. Quote Link to comment
+LandRover Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Will try and make it. Quote Link to comment

Maybe you have something like Adblock that is blocking it. I'm going to try and be there. Depends if I get my chores done in time. FYI I have been there before and it is kid-friendly however it is downtown Kirkland so not the cheapest place to eat. Quote Link to comment

+The Jester Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Dang! I never made connections with PP so she could give a couple of bugs a lift - anyone from the southend going that could help? They want to travel the world... Quote Link to comment

Since I will be on the run and grabbing a couple of the Tribe members on the fly, we plan on having a bit to eat on the way over. Couldn't get any of the links for Kirkland on the resturant web page to come up. Found a menu for one of their other places. It is so-so. We aren't going to have a limited menu like Sequim are we? We might have to visit McD's if that is the case. Bringing my small collection of coins and trade coins. Lots of TB's also. This sounds like sooooooooo much fun. Can't wait.

+Wander Lost Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Jester, we are planning on heading up. We'll be out and about all day but can meet you on our way up or you can drop them in Grave Robber sometime before 5 tonight. I'll check the cache before we head up. Quote Link to comment
+grossi Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Does Allanon know how to throw a party, or what? It was great fun seeing everyone who was there tonight. Quote Link to comment
