From party-planning commentor CaseyL:
It looks like we settled on a date, time and venue for the Seattle BJ Meetup. If you could front page it, that would be great. We’d like to get a headcount:
Elliott Bay Brewhouse & Pub in Burien, on Sunday October 15th at 2:00pm
People should bring something that will allow other people to find them – a crazy hat, a sign, a balloon, anything!
Lurkers, spouses, and plus-ones always welcome.
Traditional identifier would be a bunch of green balloons, but who am I to argue with Seattle people about diversity?
Manard
Hi, Big-time lurker here. I live in Kent and would love to attend. Can this be my RSVP and do I just show up?
Thanks,
Manard

It was only this morning, in a comic strip comment thread, that I found out that Annie Laurie is an old song about romancing a teenage Scottish girl.
Slim Whitman & the Red Army choir have sung it.
Cowboy Diva
I’m only a rare commenter, but given that I stay in South King County it would be a shame if I didn’t show. Cowboy Diva RSVPs, but I can’t promise a balloon.
ruemara
Y’all are doing this so early. I’ll be in Seattle for PodCon in December. Can we do another one then?
@Manard: That’s usually how it works

@ruemara:
“Can we do another one then?”
Yes, on condition we get more Muffin and Surprise pictures!

If I show up, I’ll probably just endlessly plug the staged reading for the script I wrote.

Longtime Lurker.
This is awfully attractive and hopefully possible.
Yutsano
This works. I MIGHT bring my friend Javon so we can hit a movie after.*
*No we are not dating. Although he is adorable.
Gin & Tonic
Google Maps tells me Burien is a 46 hour drive. I suppose they mean without stopping. So I’ll probably have to decline.

@Gin & Tonic:
45 hour from downtown Seattle during rush hour traffic.
Doug R
Used to live a two and a half hour drive away, depending on border traffic. Not crossing the border with the mango menace in charge, though.
Tlazolteotl
Mostly lurker here, but I might be able to make it…
Batten Down the Hatches
@ruemara: oh my god, I am so excited at the thought of having you come to a Seattle meet-up. YES. ?
Batten Down the Hatches
I will try to come since I will be only a couple miles away that morning, but I have to preemptively warn everyone that I will probably smell like boat (i.e. marine grade industrial paint & overpriced epoxy).

If Bonnie is reading this thread: I sent my contact info to Ann Laurie to send on to you. No reply from her yet, but still offering to get you there & back
Bumper
I’m coming. Trying to get a plus one or more but it’s looking doubtful atm. Coming from Westport/Aberdeen area so I can swing by to get Bonnie if the other plans fall through
CaseyL
So, we have 9 definites so far? Excellent! Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Bonnie
@Beautifulplummage: Thank you. However, my twin sister has offered to take me. I guess I have talked about this blog so much, she is interested. Our plans are to be there and on time (my sis is very punctual). Thank you, again Beautifulplummage. It was very kind of you to offer.
The Lodger
@CaseyL: Two more. No One You Know and I will be there. No balloons but I will try to remember my green Aussie hat.
I usually respond late to threads but this is a record. Coming from Oregon so we might be a bit late.
