Pacific Northwest Slap and Tickle: Phase II
EDIT:
OKAY - we definitely have enough people to get this going, and I finally have some time to start doing the legwork. The idea of a ballgame has been entertained, though personally I don't know that that would be the best way to get together and have time and space to actually talk to everyone.
My idea would be to reserve a room at Kell's Irish Pub or Jillian's Billiards. If we could get a specific commitment from enough folks, I think this would be relatively inexpensive and a great way to celebrate and meet and greet.
So - votes for ballgame, Kells or Jillians? And once we figure that out, I'll start throwing out dates...
----
The idea has been tossed around by a number of folks, so I thought I would get things started. Let's plan a Seattle Slap And Tickle!
I'm thinking it will have to happen in the new year - perhaps January or February. There are a number of great venues in Seattle that can accommodate small to large groups, so lets start by finding out how many of us might be interested.
I'd like to also open up the invitation to any of our friends from the north, such as Vancouver BC, or to the south, such as Portland.
So, if you're IN, just say so - and whether or not you'll be bringing any friends or SO's or family, and I'll start keeping track...
Current number of attendees: 15 (ish)
I'd probably be in, might be able to talk the wife into going as well.

I should be in. My life should be quite a bit simpler after the Holidays. Just name the time and place.

I'm very interested, but not at all sure I'll be able to make the trip. Once we have a time and place we can try and get a carpool set up from PDX.
We all know that there is no quicker way to empty a joke of its peculiar magic than to try to explain it -- to point out, for example, that Lou Costello is mistaking the proper name "Who" for the interrogative pronoun "who," etc. - D.F.Wallace

I'd love to come, depends on the timing for me, given work.

I'd have to see when it is and how that fits in with things. Seattle is probably the closest a S&T will ever get for me, but it's still a good 6-7 hour drive.

I get the urge to write out

Where would you be coming from? Seems like a flight would be much easier - though probably not as cheap...?
So we have somewhere around 8 people thus far. I'd love to see at least twice that if possible, so let's see who else stands to be counted.
It'll depend on the date you set. The girlfriend is in Seattle, so I might be able to combine the trip.

Okay - so we're at about 15 people now, if everyone can make it. We'll shoot for about 20, and once we have that number, we'll start working on date/time/location!
Ditto for me too.

Wanted to bring this up one last time before taking a final tally and starting phase II. Any other takers?
I'd be there, but I haven't moved to Seattle yet so..heh

I would be interested in a Seattle S&T. That would count as 2 peoples.

Depending on the day, I'd be down. I recently drove down there, and was surprised at how short the trip really was. I remembered it being longer.

If it gets put off until the Spring, I'd be back in the states to attend..

Same here on all accounts.
You guys pick a date and maybe we'll show up.

Updated the thread title to be more inclusive for those coming from elsewhere. We'll host in Seattle since it is about mid-way between Vancouver and Portland.
Current tally is a little over 20 people. I'll start looking for some possible venues and dates in February or March. January may be too soon to get all my duckies lined up.
Hey creatureparade, when are you going to be home? If we're looking at Spring-ish anyway, maybe we can schedule the event so you could make it.

I'd as soon not screw 20 people so I can get in on the fun; I'm sure if the slap and tickle goes off well there'd be another northwest one in the future. I'm looking at late April to early May to be back home.

I could be convinced. When and where?

I'm in, provided that it's a month or two out. Keep us posted as you solidify the details.
Any more details on this bad boy?

Still working on locations and dates. It has taken a bit of a backseat these past two weeks as I have two major milestones due at work and I have some stuff outside of work that is taking up a lot of my time.
Rest assured, I'm working on it and will post here as soon as I have some more solid info.
