Meetup Information:

Saturday night, 10PM @ The Taphouse Bar & Grill on 6th Ave. (it's only 2 blocks from PAX/convention center!)

If you have any questions or concerns, PM or post and I'm sure someone will help. Look forward to seeing you all in a couple of days!!

Parking is going to be awful I just know it.

Park on Capitol Hill and either walk or bus down. We'll likely march up there anyways for late night.

I might do this... what's a good spot for overnight? I haven't parked there in ages.

 

[Hazaro]

You have any backup places that are within 4 blocks?
What time do certain places stop serving food?

Anywhere above Boren Ave. What time were you planning on parking up there? Are you driving in from out of town to attend PAX? Because if you are, you might as well get a garage space nice and early and just pay for that. If you're coming in just for the evening, then street parking fees end at 8p on most of the hill (some are as late as 10p I think) and last for 2 hrs avg. So take that into consideration. There are plenty of free (but time limited) parking as well.

Not really. It's PAX weekend, so it's gonna be nuts. We can likely walk up Cap Hill to the bars up there, like we did last year. Last year, people wanted a meet-up spot that was close to the WSCC and PAX, so we obliged.

EDIT--Some bad news: Taphouse will NOT allow a reservation for more than 6 guests. I suppose we're just gonna have to stand and take the place over, and perhaps head out and find someplace else after a couple of hours. Follow me on twitter via @blurrygil to follow our progress.

Not for pax, and around 4 or so on saturday. I need overnight too, so maybe I'll find some side street in front of a house and hope for the best.

 

[FloppyDelux]

I might be able to attend this.

I have a feeling this might be necessary. Taphouse may not have the room for a group our size. In any case, I'll bring the steel chairs.

See you guys Saturday!

I'll make sure to wear my singlet.

I have a replica belt but I left it at home, so the photo won't be as complete as it possibly could be.

Belt to be replaced with PAX related item.

... oh, duh.

but that isn't nearly as exciting!

Walking the streets at 11PM with tired people is not exciting either.

I'm tired after a day at PAX man. Don't drag me around!

 

[freenudemacusers]

Well I'll call later today and get a reservation for 6 gafbros. We just need 4 more volunteers.

 

[krae_man]

What good is 4-5 tables of 6 if they aren't anywhere near eachother?

It's ok, it'll be 4 tables looking at their smartphones posting on gaf anyways.

 

[krae_man]

We didn't do that last time.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I can't handle all this pressure!

 

[MisterNugNug]

I'll bring the camera.

We just stand awkwardly around the full tables texting until they leave obviously.

CHOO CHOO. I live in Redmond, so I'm ecstatic about my first PAX. Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow so I'll miss most of friday's events :-|

 

[Levito]

I'll try to make it, no promises though.

I met up with GAF last time we played pool in Seattle.

I have an all day pass to PAX but I'll go if I'm not worn out from walking around all day.
