Double-Dog-DARE ya to strap a Godzilla to your head so folks can find you :-)


Somehow, even without Godzilla, he was easy to find.

Haven't actually downloaded any pix yet but we had a great time. Monday was a whirlwind tourist day and today we drove down to Mt. Rainier, which was nothing short of stunning. Jutilda actually screamed when we got our first fairly close glimpse of the mountain LOL. One more day of touring and then we head back to what passes for reality.

Thanks to Ken and his family, Brent and Frank for meeting up with us. It was a great start to the Seattle part of our trip.

Wow, what a night! I had a blast, thanks for waiting up for me on all those stairs. I took a few more on the way to my car after we split up.

Nice job of photo documenting the GTG Ken! I was quite lazy when it came to shooting anything :P

Those Roflmao genes sure do breed true...

I read about the recent spike in crime activity in Seattle, now I know why.

Thanks, Brent, for being a fantastic tour guide. I don't get downtown that often and would just end up walking for miles in uninteresting and/or dangerous places. :) A few more from last night:

Smallish group but still a fun GTG. It was great to see Frank and Ken again and meet more of Ken's family as well. And it was really nice to meet the instigators of this GTG Mary and Judy. I hope you continue to have a nice visit in the Northwest.

I only snapped a few images to be honest, and can only offer this weird and less than flattering one shot from ground level. So sorry to not get Mary in this one, but seen from left are Theresa (Ken's wife), Judy Jutilda, Frank Caba, and Ken Art Roflmao

Well it turned out to be a small group, but we had a great time and saw an amazing sunset.



I'll post more pics tomorrow.

So are we still up for the GTG this Sunday evening, right? 85 degree forecast- not bad for Seattle! It looks like the sky might at least have a few clouds to be photogenic too.

The tourists will be interested in eating and/or drinking. Or drinking some more. Isn't that what vacations are for? The cafe sounds like a perfect place to meet and fortify ourselves for further wandering around.

Can't believe it's getting so close!

Do we have another person called Art... surely it can be the same person I met many years ago at the Seattle GTG...:O)

This is NOT a disguise Ken, that is a complete metamorphosis.

Ok, now I'm just really, REALLY jealous. Would LOVE to join the motley crew coalescing in Seattle...

I suggested meeting at the ZigZag Cafe which is on the hill climb stairs below the market and above the waterfront. It's a cool place with easy parking above and below that feels like a not so touristy secret spot, and if anyone wants to sit out on the patio and have a drink or a bite while they wait for others to show up they could. But we could figure out another place to meet, especially if nobody is interested in eating or drinking :)
 06/20/2014 12:04:27 AM · #20
I'm planning on being there as well.
 06/19/2014 09:49:21 PM · #21
I'm planning to be there. Where exactly in the market? Suggest Starbucks original store, mid-market.
 06/19/2014 07:23:40 PM · #22
gregoryb and I will be coming to Seattle in Sept/Oct. Thanks everyone for giving me the heads up on places to visit whilst we're there then.
Sounds like a great time will be had by all next month tho. :-)

Well after suggesting it, I'll make sure I am there at the Sunday July 13th 6PM meet at Pike Place Market if that works for all ;)
I could possibly do other meets before or after that time depending on what shakes out in my schedule as I'm living downtown these days.

Sunday, July 13th at 6PM will work for at least some of us and you ladies can schedule other GTGs for later in the week with whoever else can make it. Here was Brent's suggestion, which I am +1'ing...

Originally posted by Brent_S:
Pioneer Square would be nice for people to see and a pretty easy walk south of the market along the waterfront. And the Olympic Sculpture Garden and Myrtle Edwards Park along the water north of it is also a pretty easy walk.

If basically the waterfront tour above sounds good, I'm not sure whether meeting at one end of the stretch (maybe 2.5 miles in length) would make sense or just meeting in the middle at the Market? I'm thinking meeting in the middle at Pike Place Market would work fine. And I would suggest meeting at the ZigZag Cafe. It's on the "Hill Climb" stairs just below the market and central to market parking or the waterfront which is just steps below it. You do need to be 21 to enter though, hope that would be okay?


So that's the tentative plan. Post here if you can make it so we can get an idea how many to expect.
