Request from party-sparker Yutsano:
Time for me to venture to the Emerald City once more!
Slight tighter deadline for set-up as I’ll be in town from the 20th to the 23rd of January. My medical stuff is the 23rd but otherwise I have zero planned at this point.
And yes this time I will check where we’re meeting so I know for sure! I will be staying downtown however so I will have some flexibility.
Leave a comment below, or email me directly at [email protected], and I’ll forward your message to Yutsano.

Just so folks are aware, there is going to be a Women’s March on the 20th that will close off some streets downtown. I believe the route will be from Cal Anderson Park west on Pike and north on 4th Ave to Seattle Center. So traffic is likely to be pretty congested around town on Saturday.

I was wearing an old pair of specs, and initially read that as “party-spanker Yutsano.” Fortunately, I looked more closely after that, because for a second there, I thought he finally let Government employment get to him.

What happens at a Balloon-Juice meetup stays at a Balloon-Juice meetup.

I should be up to going to a meetup by early spring. Anybody coming to New England?
SD do you have a trip planned this year?

Count me in for an Indianapolis meetup.

Yo, I have a crazy work schedule, so no guarantees, but I’m intrigued for a meet up. One thing about Seattle, there are a lot of places of good food and adequate imbibery with more popping up like rain forest mushrooms every day.

@Tlazolteotl: So, a perfect reason for a meet-up, no?

@efgoldman:
Don’t have a trip planned, but haven’t ruled anything out, either. The news that you’re feeling well enough to contemplate a meet-up is certainly a fine inducement!

If we’re talking future meetups, I’m hoping to be in Denver in mid-July (18-21) for a conference and may be available for a meetup.
Steve in the ATL
@efgoldman: all west coast so far, but hopefully will end up back in Boston when winter is over. So…July?

I’d be interested in the Seattle meetup. May my elderly ears request someplace less noisy than the previous 2 locations? Jackal conversations are too much fun to miss!

@efgoldman:
That might be interesting! I could make Boston and head down to DC to see the Wall and the Smithsonian. Maybe I could celebrate the shtgibbon’s complete and utter losing. Now that would be a trip, a threefer.
Yutsano
Apparently Sunday is out for a couple folks. Is Monday night better?
Dmbeaster
Heck, I would help with an LA meet up since I have been traveling for the prior ones

@Ruckus:
We’d have to make sure the place has an early bird and mushy stuff for old farts.

Damn, these some dead-ass threads.

@Mnemosyne: We had one back in October (early November?) and everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. Tamara has my contact information, and I’ll help plan something out.

@Yutsano: Monday’s out for me, unfortunately. :(

Las Vegas, 25 or 26 March?

@raven: Cole only cares about twitter. Now.

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: For a moment he pretended to care about the calendar.

@Mnemosyne:
Except for the compromising photographs.
And all the people writing about it in the comment sections …

Sorry, can’t make it. Have a great time & I hope to catch the next one!

@efgoldman:
I still have all my teeth. The ability to chew is probably going to suffer in the future if the docs are right.
H.E.Wolf
I could join in on Mon. 22nd, after 7:30 PM, or Sun. 21st after 6:30 PM. (Also Mon. for breakfast/lunch.)

I’d like to go. Sunday is probably best for me but I can try to make it if it’s on another day. I just need as much time as possible to make arrangements.

I’m in Bellingham. I work until 5 Monday and am off Tuesday.
Chickamin Slam
It is Sunday now. Did the meetup get planned/happened?
