mattp Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Last week, we talked about how it is yet again going to te a "Seattle" week. ChucK has been advocating for Fiddlers, Sean votes for the Alki, Sara had someting else in mind, and there has been some talk of an outdoor pubclub. Where's it going to be? That Beckey person is wanting an answer again -- and he has again suggested to me that any self-respecting bunch of beer guzzlers ought to know that you can't just make these important plans at the last minute.

chucK Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Hey Mattp, I completed my homework assignment and checked out Fiddler's last night. They got a good beer selection, food, and an outdoor beer garden!!! They also have wine, but no place is perfect. Here's the URL with location and other info http://www.fiddlersinn.org. Â I vote for Fiddler's Inn out of pure self-interest (close to my home) and the fact that if the weather is nice, that outdoor beer garden will be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjay Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I'm away at a meeting all next week, so Matt I'm going to leave this free-for-all to you! Â Good luck! I have the utmost faith that you will have this one solved in no time-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Schuldt Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 The Fiddlers Inn sounds good to me. Sayjay, I think that your faith is miss placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted May 16, 2002 Author Share Posted May 16, 2002 I have faith that nobody is going to be an idiot about this and once we have settled on a place we are going to stick with it but new ideas will be put on the table for next week or the week after. Is that faith misplaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Mattp, nobody will stand for your anti-splintering strong arm tactics  I will drop steamer coils on your pubclub and make you eat dingleberry salad. You want cheap grub eat this sucka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Mattp I am sure nobody will be an "idiot" about it as long as everybody gets what they want . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted May 16, 2002 Author Share Posted May 16, 2002 You can't always get what you want ... but if you try sometimes -- you can have beer with your friends. I'm just begging for mercy, because without the calm guidance of SayJay, I'm afraid we could blow it again -- just when it looked as if PubClub might survive the trauma of weeks past.

Juan Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Will Fred be there to sign women's undergarments? My wife is SO THRILLED with having his signature on her favorite (and now retired) silk climbing bra. It's going on the gear room wall. Tours of the shrine are available for a small charge. Â Thanks, Fred. Â John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted May 18, 2002 Author Share Posted May 18, 2002 Juan, you finally come to a pubclub, and most of us missed you because pubclub blew up that night. Tell your wife you're obligated to show up again this week and you can thank him yourself (that is, if we can select a place with enough advance warning so he can put it on his calendar).

allison Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 OK, I just gotta ask this....FB is always pressuring us (through his emissaries) to set the location for PC a few days in advance. Now, we all know that the time of Pub Club is 7PM on Tuesdays, beyond that, why does he need to know in advance what the location is going to be? I sort of like not knowing for sure where we are going to meet until Monday at the earliest, and sometimes Tuesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman_Clyde Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I can't pass up a pub club so close to home, but what if I can't get there until after 8? How long do these events last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted May 18, 2002 Author Share Posted May 18, 2002 Allison, I sort of agree that there is really no need to figure it out before Monday, but for some people it IS important to know in advance -- I know it is lame, but there are those who will attend if it is in their neighborhood but will not if it is to be accross town. And some of these people may have to coordinate with a spouse or work or something else. I don't know what Fred's issue is, exactly, but he wrote that "I don't have time to check the internet all day on Tuesdays." Speaking for myself, I can be flexible about the location but I think it is lame that some people seem to WAIT until the last minute to make their arguments -- as if they couldn't anticipate on, say Friday May 17, that they objected to going to the Fiddler's Inn on Tuesday, May 21. Is there something wrong with picking a place and sticking with it and waiting a week or two if you want to promote a different location?

allthumbs Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Matt, that makes perfect sense to me. I think most of these wankers just like to stir the pot and have the "traditional Monday Pube Club argument". Goofballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapertimmy Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 So I'm not part of the pub club forray, unfortunatley, but I'm always amused at the threads/arguments about where to go... Â Why doesn't one person put together a month schedule, with all the dates, times, and places it will be... that way there won't be any ?'s about where to go drink. Â just a thought....

mattp Posted May 20, 2002 Author Share Posted May 20, 2002 Nobody has seen fit to object, so how's about we make ChucK's dream come true: a Northeast Seattle pub club. Â Fiddler's Inn, at 9219 35th Ave Ne, Seattle, WA 98115. Slightly "ferny," says ChucK, but otherwise it is everything you ever asked for in a pub club venue. Well-behaved (and leashed) dogs are welcome in the outdoor beer garden, so Holly and Eddie can bring their animals for all to admire. Â Directions: Take the Lake City exit from I-5, and follow Lake City Way (State Route 522) just over one mile, to 95th Street Northeast (the turn can be difficult to spot, it comes as you go down a hill and there is some kind of auto repair shop on the corner). Proceed right (east) on 95th Street NE, .7 miles to 35th Avenue NE. Turn right (south) and drive about a block -- the Fiddler's Inn is on the corner on the right.

allthumbs Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Shut up Allison. Are you just frustrated in life, or are you naturally the type of person that prods and picks at people. Why don't you and I just not communicate, because I really don't like you at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt.Caveman Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Have fun. BTW Matt I bet FB will be hittin you up to climb a certain peak. I told him I was not interested unless you were to come along as he was hinting you should go. Let me know how it goes on the discussion.
