Well, alright, but can you leave them in your suitcase once you arrive?

BRING THEM EVERYWHERE!

endorphin74 said:

Tha was SO London!

I wonder what Karen's boobs are doing today....

endorphin74 said:

The ones that i have here in London have been pretty busy today!

I am checking out airfares- I really want to attend. I have always wanted to see Seattle and I have always wanted to meet fellow orgers...
My only concern is that I do not know anyone personally on the list( but I would love to meet everyone on the list... )
I will speak to my spouse about this and check work to see if I can take off Friday. It seems like it would be a very awesome opportunity..

shanti0608 said:

You will have such a great time! You will feel at ease right away!

shanti0608 said:

I'll bring you some Billy Bragg!

shanti0608 said:

You should totally come. Get on the phone with some of us before the invasion so it doesn't feel like you're throwing yourself into a group of strangers.

endorphin74 said:

That sounds great!
I soooo need to get away from here and I would soooo love to see Seattle! I am going to make every effort to get that arranged!

Ok, hotel info.

Now, keep in mind, I haven't actually BEEN to most of these places! They are all in locations that would be convenient for the invasion, though.



Probably the best option, in terms of location, would be the Silver Cloud. It's not dirt-cheap, but it's reasonable, and it's got great access to the bus lines we'll be using, as well as being at the end of the main drag that runs through the neighborhood.



There are a couple of hotels that are either directly or indirectly associated with local hospitals (there are several nearby). While it may seem a bit odd, they apparently have really reasonable rates and good reviews, and the locations are very good.
The Baroness (<- were I travelling, this would probably be my less-expensive first choice)
Inn at Virginia Mason


And there are several nearby bed and breakfasts, including:
Amaranth Inn
11th Avenue Inn
Capitol Hill Inn


There are also, of course, great hotels downtown. A couple of really cool (and expensive) ones:
Hotel Max
W Seattle (<-- the only hotel in Seattle that I've personally stayed at. It's wonderful.)


And probably Seattle's most famous/historic hotel:
The Edgewater


I could dig up lots more downtown options for anybody who is interested, and actually, Matt is a bargain-travel guru; I'd highly suggest orgnoting him if you want help finding the best deals.

Not sure if this place was mentioned but I have stayed here a few times and it's a block down from the Needle and the EMP..

Oh, and if any locals want to offer up a spare bed, orgnote me and I'll coordinate.

Thank ya. I didn't look at Seattle Center hotels, but there are a bunch down there. They would work well too.

Seattle is one cool city, my sister lives there, and the invasion list looks reeeal tight. Put my lil' ass down as a strong maybe.
Hopefully that doesn't diminish the confirmed list at all
