OK, so we have :
rpsawin (Bob) - seattle
plummerl (larry) - seattle
Dave Matison - seattle
Onespeed - whidbey
Stan98103 - seattle
joshroot - Anacortes
tetrisattack(conor) - Olympia
lkgroup(leo) - Skagit
Gordon Coale - whidbey
shutterflower(George) - Seattle-ish
and I assume that we have consensus on Seattle as the meeting place. So far, at least.
Here is the info on the Elysian, if that ends up being our venue :
http://www.elysianbrewing.com/
maps are on the site with a little looking
there are two possible Elysian locations, Tangletown and Capitol Hill
here is the Capitol Hill phone number : 206.860.1920
and Tangletown : 206.547.5929
The one with the best parking, obviously, is the best choice.
Parking should be a major concern, since parking in Seattle can be nearly impossible for rookies. Myself, for instance. And expensive when you choose poorly - also, generally, how it ends up in my case. Try to decide on a time and place when and where parking will be possible for a number of people. That will be also nearly impossible.
The Elysian is a cool, photographer friendly place, from what I gathered on my occasions there. Lots of photos on the walls. Good beer too. But, with parking in mind, choosing a less stylish place might also be a thought. Somewhere with a parking lot, for instance. I am not sure whether either of the Elysians have parking. Anyone knows?
