I'm really just beginning the planning, and would like input, particularly from locals. I'm expecting to follow the format that has worked for previous invasions, as far as scheduling activities.

So, some possibilities:

Thursday
-dinner with early arrivals (I may ask the owner of theTeapot to hook up some sort of buffet for us), and chillout at my place, as long as the group is small enough to fit

Friday
-Jimi Hendrix field trip
-dinner/clubs (I'm thinking that the Broadway Grill could handle us, and they are within walking distance of the Capitol Hill club district. . .Purr and the Chapel would top my list. This would allow a Friday evening stroll down Broadway. Always entertaining.)

Saturday
-get some of the best coffee in the world at Vivace
-late morning/early afternoon - Pike Place Market. Fun, food, shopping, essential Seattle landmark.
-late afternoon/evening - main meetup - bonfire (& BBQ?) at Golden Gardens Park (weather permitting. . . should be fine this time of year, but I'll plan an alternative)
-late evening - Pioneer Square (Last Supper Club, Fenix. . . there is a multi-club stamp that would encourage much club-hopping fun) * -alternatively- * We could do a Princely Late-Nite Double Feature (see post below)

Sunday
-get some of the best coffee in the world at Victrola (I could possibly arrange a coffee cupping -- it's like a wine tasting -- if there are enough interested parties. . . the guy who does their roasting loves to educate the masses, and he's fun)
-brunch (The Globe, or 5 Spot)
-Seattle Center (Space Needle, Experience Music Project, etc)
-dinner (Center/Queen Anne. . . lots of options) with stragglers
-still wanna party? Rebar, totally.

Monday
you're still here? ok, I'll feed you. First, have some Gatorade and Ibuprofen. . .



Orgnote me with thoughts, and post to confirm travel plans. I will be
happy to help with transportation and hotel planning (edit: see post below for hotel info), and will post some suggestions to that effect as I start to have an idea of who is coming.

I can't wait to see you guys!

I'll put you down for 'azz will be there' then.

Looking at the planned activities I think you've done a great job

If you don't get muse it just isn't an invasion.

lovemachine said:

Yeah, I'm fairly certain she's going.

SeattleInvasion said:

I will personally drag her by her spider-bitten hand if she doesn't go.
Kidding!

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I'll hunt her down and smack that blonde wig right off her head if she doesn't go. And I'm NOT kidding.

HollowellSA said:

Thankya. Why the hell haven't we gotten together before with you so close, damnit?

Take me off the maybe list. I am there!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

lovemachine said:

You guys gonna come out for this one.... Your year looked pretty planned out!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

Hey, things could have changed, I don't know.

I think most of the other 'maybe's are actually pretty sure bets too, last I heard.

I can't wait to see you.
