Beck Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I've got to work the Andrew Maclean slide show at Marmot till 10ish, I'll sweep by afterwards and see if anyone is still hanging out after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COL._Von_Spanker Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I'll prolly show, but I'm fighting the plague so I prolly won't be drinking that much. While in the area it would be worth a side expedition to the broiler with a digital cam to add to the pub crawl reviews. On that note, should we add a pub club/crawl/review forum?

Toast Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 (edited) Hey, wait a second... ehmmic may be attempting strongarm tactics (but I think it's an honest mistake ) Are we meeting at the Wedgewood Ale House or the Wedgewood Broiler? The Ale House is a pretty non descript pub (good beer, clean taps, decent food.) The Broiler is a very cool "lounge" with dark ambiance and a family eatery attached to it. I think this is the original place suggested and the one that Mattp and Col. von Spanker scoped out and referred to. The Broiler's address is Wedgewood Broiler 8230 35th Ave NE Seattle WA (206) 523-1115 Edited March 6, 2003 by Toast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcat Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I think we were originally discussing the Broiler, but then someone brought up the Alehouse. I'm pretty indifferent since I live in the neighborhood and I haven't been to either. Whatever choice is made, the beer will taste good.

Since you live in the neighborhood you decide and we'll show up. Just please post the final address so we can figure out how to get there.

tomcat Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 But I'm so indecisive! They're both on 35th Ave NE within blocks of each other on opposite sides of the street. The Wedgewood Broiler is in the same village as QFC, a little Video Store, and Homestreet Bank (about 85th & 35th). The Alehouse is about 5 blocks North on 35th Ave NE on the West side of the street (a little place that you may miss if you blink). That alehouse looks small from the front .. I wonder if we can squeeze all of us climbers in that place? I'll head down there in a few and scope out both places and post back on this thread by about 1PM and I'll give you the full TR.

tomcat Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 OK, I just got back from the Alehouse and it looks bigger in person than it does driving by. I think we could be happy there. I'm calling it there! THE ALEHOUSE IT IS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcat Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I like Comcast the service .. it's very fast and reliable. But I do not like Comcast as a company. My suggestion is just don't have any billing questions and you'll be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I have had good and bad experiences with ATTBI in my three years using their service. Yet, I still haven't been switched over to Comcast. I have found, recently, that using the online chatroom type of service to make inquiries has been easy for me. Using the telephone for this is usually not as good. I've had one modem go out and a few other problems (a billing error for one that they just WOULD NOT fix no matter how many time I called and complained about it; essentially, they billed me twice for one month). I have noticed outtages have been greatly reduced. But, you know, for every new customer that signs up, the slower the connection becomes; but it's minute and depends on locality. For sure, even then, it's still 100 times faster than wireline connections. You'll never go back to wireline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketchfest Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 When I was growing up there used to be a little burger joint across the street from a Safeway, it was called "Herffy's" I doubt it's still there, but anybody know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fern Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I like how people who just saw each other face to face need to see pictures one day later to like remember what they all look like and what they were doing or something ... no short term memory?
