Indeed, we might have to change that. :)

Well *somebody* clearly forgot to send me an invitation to the previous 
PovCon London: Seattle Gathering.

In seriousness, I have a pretty busy summer, but June 6th or 7th would 
work well for me if it also works for you and Jim.

I, of course, will be unable to attend - London Underground have not
seen fit to extend the Tube lines out to the village of Seattle.
However, I hope you two get it together. Don't forget that you are
allowed only one (1) on-topic item on the agenda - discussion of Pov
personalities counts as off-topic.

It wasn't just you who didn't get the invite. :)

June 7 probably works better for me.  Are you on the west side of the 
lake (sounds like you probably are)?

Anyone else in the area?

Jim

Yeah, I'm in Seattle proper.  Something I could easily bus to would be 
ideal, but I'm perfectly willing to drive somewhere if that's easier of 
other folks.

Any ideas for where?  I know a few good beer-places and a few good 
whiskey / cocktail places (mostly in Capitol Hill, Downtown, Fremont, 
and Ballard areas), but I don't know what you and Stephen like to drink, 
and I'm sure you have your own places you like.

We've only been here since February, so I mostly know places right in my 
immediate area.

But I'm always game for a drive, too. :)

I've found that I quite like Paddy Coyne's here in Bellevue.  My wife's 
got friends in the Ballard area, though, and has been a couple places 
with them that she quite liked - The Sexton and McHugh's.

I think Stephen will very likely be attending in absentia, since he's in 
the UK. :)

For what I like to drink - it's flexible.  I don't mind a beer now and 
again, but I usually go for a G&T or occasionally a whisky.  Sometimes a 
margarita.  There are a couple other cocktails we make here - a green tea 
drink with bourbon.

Jim

You mean I could have got you a glass of water and you'd have drunk it?

I will attend in spirit. But as John mentioned we are waiting for the 
transatlantic tunnel (hurrah!) to be finished.
