Yeah, south county, out in the 253. I work in Bellevue, Eastside, the anti Seattle.

If you make it across the bridge, lets hit the Taphouse Grill for some brews sometime, 160+ handles.

Sweet! Will do bud. My car gets here in a week or so, so I'll 'cross that bridge' when I get there.

Pretty funny. I know you guys rip on him for that. Hey....when you're rolling on stock 17's that were curb rashed really bad by the previous owner you'll take anything.

Awesome. Well, meeting up won't be a problem....but meeting up when it isn't raining will be. Naw, it's surprisingly not that bad over here.

Anyway, how about next weekend (22nd/23rd) ? Is that good for you guys?

I vote we meet on Saturday the 23rd sometime between 4-5 before it gets dark. That'll give us some time to check out the rides and then go get a beer...

You all ever been to The Roanoke on Mercer Island? I'd vote for this - good micros and decent food. How about Hattie's in Ballard (dive but fun and there a lot of other places around) or Cooper's in North Seattle (close to the freeway, great micros)? I'm open to the place and time but let's hit somewhere with good micro's on tap and some space. Votes or other ideas?

Roanoke around 4 sounds good.

Saturday the 22nd works. I'm out on Sunday.

I might have a conflict on Saturday now. Anyone able to meet downtown at 5p or earlier Friday the 21st? If not, I'll try to make Saturday but will be there after 4 if I make it.

I'm hoping to make it guys but it's going to be a gametime decision. If I don't hook up with you all this time we'll need to do it again. It's gonna be a beauty out today...
