Okay, how about The Crab Pot for dinner on Thursday? Seems pretty touristy, but judging from the pics it has a pretty casual atmosphere that could be good for an informal meetup. The menu on their website seemed promising; plenty of seafood at a wide range of prices, including burgers and fish & chips on the cheaper side if you're on a budget.

Thoughts? I figure a 7pm dinner on Thursday would be a good plan.

eew.

[ncsuDuncan]

eew.

Just a suggestion! Open to better ideas, I'm just having trouble using Google to find a reasonably-priced place nearby.

I'm sure a local could do better.... *cough*

[Domino Theory]

Don't listen to heckfu. Mastrbiggy, heckfu, and I will be there Saturday morning.

[Hypertrooper]

I am definitely going to be at the Breakfast!

[heckfu]

eew.

Are you saying that you'll be joining? Related: SUGGEST SOMETHING.

Place is delicious.

[Deadly Cyclone]

Frank, you and David need to join up (and any other 343/cool dudes/gals).

I'm down for anything, Frank is the local so we need suggestions. :P


Also, most of us don't know what everyone looks like. HaloGaf shirts Thursday night? I know Duncan's face thanks to his avatar. We could all meet outside whatever place.

[LukeSmith]

Cool. Looking for a seafood place in downtown Seattle that isn't crazy expensive. Preferably something within walking distance of the convention center (where I assume most of us have hotels nearby). Fake Edit: Pike Street Fish Fry seemed promising, but it sounds like they don't have very much seating. I'm finding a lot of places that look super fancy and costly. Still searching.

You should in fact, try and go away from the convention center. Everything around there will be an overcrowded dump.

If you want sushi, go to Umi Sake in Belltown

Honestly, I had the lobster & steak, and it might as well have been from Red Lobster, just quadruple the price. Luckily, Luke/Sketch picked up the tab. :P

I had a steak there once and I remember it being really good.


Oh, and I'm going to PAX guys.

[Barrow Roll]

[Tawpgun]

Oh, and I'm going to PAX guys.

Me too.




PAX East

[Steelyuhas]

Me too. PAX East

lol

"There was is only one ship PAX."

[Ramirez]

But seriously guys, soak up Seattle, such an awesome place. PAX is like the side show compared to the rest of the stuff you can do with your fellow HaloGAF.

[Hitmonchan107]

Hmmm. Wife and kids welcome to join us at breakfast?

I'm glad to hear they're making the journey this year.

Breakfast on Saturday is perfect for me. I won't be able to make a Thursday night meetup, though. :^(

--------------------

We should try to meet up at the Halo 4 booth at the same time one day so we can all play and wait in line together.

[Ramirez]

I didn't drink on either trip & I had a blast.

Personally I want to meet up before the convention center with everyone and marching to the booth. But I posted this idea at last OT. So I am posting it again! Woot!

Are you under 21? Am I not alone?

[wwm0nkey]

Might be for the best if I don't go to PAX until next year then lol

[Steelyuhas]

No, I'm 22.

Ice Cold. :p

[Hypertrooper]

No, I'm 22. Ice Cold. :p

Oh. Yeah. no candy for you! :P

[Slaker117]

Only 20 here, so you have at least one person to share in your sobriety.

[Deadly Cyclone]

Got a suggestion from Seattle-Gaf:

You're in Seattle. It's hard to find seafood places that aren't great :-P If you want to walk around 10-15 minutes, SeaStar is one of my favorite seafood restaurants around: 2121 Terry Ave Ste 108, Seattle, WA http://seastarrestaurant.com/Seattle It's also in a different area than most people at PAX will go to, so it should be easier to get a table. Go with a reservation though. It's somewhat pricey, but not excessive, and they have a great mixture of Raw Bar and cooked entrees for the squeemish. Go with the Ahi Poke for an appetizer.

[GhaleonEB]

Got a suggestion from Seattle-Gaf:

$25-$80 a plate on the dinner menu might be a bit steep.

[Deadly Cyclone]

$25-$80 a plate on the dinner menu might be a bit steep.

Ah, yeah, hadn't checked prices.

Wherever works for us. Just someplace good. The only issue will be finding everyone as most of us don't know faces. :P

[ncsuDuncan]

How about Cutter's Crabhouse?

Menu seems to show prices a little more in the $15-$20 range. I think that's about as cheap as you can go as far as seafood is concerned, short of a fast food joint.

Edit:

<--------

You know my face. I know most everyone else's face. We'll be fine. Just look for the HaloGAF/Bungie/etc. T-shirts and keep your phone handy.


FYI, I made a reservation for breakfast at the Athenian so no worries there. As soon as we agree on a dinner location I'll make a reservation for that as well.

[Deadly Cyclone]

Cutter's looks good. Frankie, any say on that one?

[Barrow Roll]

Can't we just wander around downtown Seattle like a couple of hooligans until we find something with an amusing name?

Any plans when the dinner starts?

[Deadly Cyclone]

Did a Yelp search, here's what we got.

[Hitmonchan107]

A little surf and turf might be nice.

I'll just be looking for Heckfu's beard.

[ncsuDuncan]

I'll just be looking for Heckfu's beard.

Will that work? I'm pretty sure every barista in Seattle is FDA-required to have such a beard. You should instead be looking for Heckfu's dreamy eyes, those are actually unique and will keep you from following a Starbuck's employee into a dark alley.

-------
Any opinions on Cutter's Crabhouse from the locals?

I think that's the frontrunner right now, considering our constraints:
- Seafood.
- Not super cheap, i.e. fast food.
- Not super expensive.
- Family friendly for Ghaleon.
- Not too close to the convention center, but not so far that it's a hassle.

No one will have a beard like that.

Never been to Cutter's.

[FyreWulff]

I would like to try. Don't care where it is as long as the prices are reasonable, always up for trying new stuff.

edit: I think this looks doable so far

[Steelyuhas]

Added contact info for those that posted it on the HaloGAF website. My info is now there as well.

Contact linking in Windows Phone is so damn smooth.

[Deadly Cyclone]

So, after Thursday dinner we should all go to this.

Amazon/2K/Joystiq Pax Party.

[Sofa King]

Not sure I can be of help with the seafood angle, but I have always been a fan of the Chow Foods restaurants.

http://www.chowfoods.com/

They are not right in downtown, but they do have a restaurant up on Queen Anne hill called the 5 Spot and one in Ballard called The Hi-Life. Good food and very reasonable. My personal favorite is the one in West Seattle, but it's not easy to find if you don't know where you are going.

Good Luck!

Edit: On 2nd thought, anything past Thursday is risky for Queen Anne since Bumbershoot is on the weekend in Seattle Center (big music festival). I would think between PAX and Bumbershoot, downtown in general is going to be hopping on the weekend.

[Deadly Cyclone]

So Duncan, you going to make the final call then? The last place you found looks fine.

[dmg04]

See you guys there.

I'll be in yellow pants and a Bungie long sleeve.

[Steelyuhas]

Wait, what?

Yellow pants? That's awesome. I kinda wanna wear my America Spandex pants then!

[ncsuDuncan]

Still no local word on if Cutter's Crabhouse is legit? I want to make a reservation tonight or tomorrow.

Is 7pm good for the Thursday dinner folks?
