Dave_Schuldt Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 When the Stupid Bowl hangover is under control we need to think about where we are going to drink. Sounds like it's the New Orleans. Quote
AlpineK Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 (edited) When the Stupid Bowl hangover is under control we need to think about where we are going to drink. Sounds like it's the New Orleans. or some place else. I checked and they have a band playing at the NO on tuesday; there isn't a cover though. Edited January 27, 2003 by AlpineK Quote
mattp Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 Do they have a big screen TV so we could start a little early and watch the President? Quote
chelle Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 What time does the band hit the stage? Is there a separate room we can hide in? If they start before 9 or 10, perhaps we should change the venue to the Owl & Thistle. David Parker would that work for you? Quote
David_Parker Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 (edited) I stopped by the New Orleans last night. There are 2 rooms: the north room has a stage in the front 3rd and tables beyond. The south room is divided from the north room by a long wall with an opening as wide as 2 doors at the east end. There is an area in the front closest to the street with what I'd say is plenty of room for a typical CC pub club. In this area, you won't be able to see the stage so the line of music is not direct. There is a TV too Matt. I was in Hattie's Hat also yesterday and to me the New Orleans is a much better place than that. I don't know about the non-smoking thing, but the ceilings are really tall and have fans. It's a nice place. So unless anyone has some seriously compelling reason to Not go, I thinks it's worth a try! I don't know what time the band will start, but I know there is no cover charge and it's Swing type music...so come on girls, bring yer dancin' shoes!!! V, Jules, time to crawl out from under those rocks! If you don't show, I might end up dancing with Fendell! BTW, on Tuesday, Feb 4, The Pyramid Alehouse at 1201 1st Ave is featuring Tilt-A-Pint night with live Celtic Music, pint specials and Scottish food and more. Now if you do't like the sounds of that, then the only other place I can think of is the Deja' Vu!! Edited January 27, 2003 by David_Parker Quote
COL._Von_Spanker Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 Now if you do't like the sounds of that, then the only other place I can think of is the Deja' Vu!! Now yer talkin...... Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted January 27, 2003 Author Posted January 27, 2003 David, I am with you on this one. We have never been to Pioneer Square before. Should be fun. Matt, do you realy want to see shrubyas speach or are you jokeing? Quote
pms Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 should be fun. The speech, music, beer and a chance to meet Mr. Parker. Who knows, maybe the caveman will show. I'm bringing Skian. If anyone needs a ride from Madrona area send me a pm. Quote
chelle Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Sounds great David! Thanks for all the research. See ya there after my class. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 definitely beastie boys. i'm not trying to take any credit for inventing it. How about some David Allen Coe ??!! Quote
North_by_Northwest Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 It will be "Hot Buns" night at the RickShaw... Quote
eternalX Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Sounds great David! Thanks for all the research. See ya there after my class. Going out drinking is considered research now? Man, I left college too soon. --eternal (always researching) Quote
AlpineK Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 It will be "Hot Buns" night at the RickShaw... I drive by that place all the time. I'm going to have to check that out sometime. Quote
North_by_Northwest Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 I checked it out once. It's a lot nicer than you would guess from the outside appearance and the cheesy sign. Usually it's karoake, and there are some pretty talented people who come in. You should check out the Green Dragon on 101 and Aurora too Unfortunately I will miss Hot Buns Night: have to work. Quote
pms Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 and the china dragon, and the mandrin gate.... Quote
North_by_Northwest Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 The Green Dragon is a real gem: it's right next door to Labor Ready. One place gives the homeless and downtrodden temporary work and a meager paycheck, the other takes their paycheck and gives them DUIs and arrest records. The cycle of life is beautiful. Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted January 29, 2003 Author Posted January 29, 2003 Nice place, good music. We should go there again. Not to smokey. Quote
David_Parker Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Nice to have Jim Nelson show up too! Other than that a rather small crowd. Great food at reasonable prices! So, what about the Pyramid ale house with pint specials and live Celtic music next week? Quote
AlpineK Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Dave's only memory of pub club was the lack of smoke. I liked the New Orleans, however last call was at 11PM which screwed over the late arrivers. The Pyramid place might be alright, but having Pub Club in the same part of town 2 weeks in a row is wrong, wrong, wrong. It was nice to see Jim! Quote
pms Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 It was nice to meet with some of the cc people. Really good to hear some of Wayne's ideas for ice climbing places. Maybe we can get him to post a picture of the Colonial Cr. Cirque stuff. Of course you need to move the location around for pub club, but I loved the music and low smoke. Maybe in a month or two. Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 How about somewhere on the Eastside for a change, say, Bellevue, Redmond, or Issaquah? Quote
mattp Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 I thought music and low smoke were some definite plusses. The bartender was fairly friendly, as well. If we went back, all we'd need to do for the later arrivals is figure out (in advance) where to go "after hours." Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Damn I missed out on skian ian since I am ill. I hear that my friend Bruce was taking mtneers course with him as instructor some time ago. I guess Ian farted just at the belay and declared it ok since it was "freedom of the hills". Quote
mattp Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Catbird- It has been nearly a year since we've been to the Eastside. Find an interesting place over there and then drum up some support so that some Eastsider's can be expected to show up. Hint: sports bars and fern bars have generally not been popular with this group. Spanker speculated there has got to be some old-school Chinese restaurant with a bar in the back that might have some charm to it. Quote
