Eastside Pub Club, 11/15

[knotzen]

Would any of you regulars be willing to make the trek to the lovely Eastside for a Pub Club, once or occasionally? Any Eastsiders who might represent if you didn't have to drive over the bridge to Seattle?

 

There's a smoke-free bar, the Pumphouse, in Bellevue, easy access off I-405, and there's the Rogue brewery in Issaquah. Where else...?

 

I won't call/host one unless I get feedback that peeps would come. So, let me know.

Workshop Tavern. If memory serves me they have pitchers of microbrew for $9.50.

[archenemy]

I would love to tell folks that I am heading to the pumphouse!!

[knotzen]

No hose®s allowed.

[Greta]

Well, Im out then.

[knotzen]

We'll make an exception for you, guy-with-a-girl's-name. Just because...you're special.

[minx]

i'm only going if greta and archenemy promise to go.

[RuMR]

ditto

[minx]

oh-- i didn't know that rumr would go. i'm out.

[RuMR]

dammit!! I shoulda stayed silent...then, POUNCE!

 

 

oh yeah, almost forgot:

[Dr_Flash_Amazing]

Sorry, RuMR: "You must be at least this tall to enter the bar!"

[kix]

so where are we drinking?

[RuMR]

at least i can fit through door, fatty...

[knotzen]

We'll take all'a youse.

 

So, choices.

 

The Workshop is kitschy, a fun place, but more of a drive inland from 405--not bad if you follow 520 down into Redmond; a couple of blocks off 520, across from Redmond Town Centre. I think it has darts? And smoking.

 

The Pumphouse is easier to get to--3 blocks off 405 on 8th Ave. N.E. It's no smoking, darts, I think. "Cozy." Shouldn't be too crowded on a Tuesday, though.

 

There are others in the Bellevue area, but I've never been to them (except for the 8th Street Bar and Grill, which was so-so--not much atmosphere).

 

So...whaddya think? I'm thinking the Pumphouse, b/c Seattle folks will be coming over. We want to get 'em right in and drinkin'.

3 blocks off 405 on 8th Ave. N.E.

 

There is no physical way that 8th Ave NE is in Bellevue. Now NE 8th St. is one of the main drags in Bellevue.

 

Honestly, you all call yourself climbers yet everybody seems so directionally challenged when it comes to driving around urban areas.

 

Sorry I had to get that off my chest. If this is really going to happen I may drive over.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

And I'll go if I can hitch a ride.

You call yourself climbers but you don't want to do any routefinding. Sheesh! I was just giving y'all a challenge. And that's the thanks I get.

Hitch a ride with AlpineK--he knows precisely where he is going. He's got a map.

[knotzen]

Pub Club tomorrow, 11/15 (Kurt, did I get the date right? Oh, maybe it should be November 15, 2005), at the Pumphouse in Bellevue. Address and map here.

 

Maybe, like, 7:30 or so. Or whenever.

[TREETOAD]

Why not have it on both nights

[knotzen]

Excellent idea! Let's do it.

[archenemy]

You guys are silly

[knotzen]

I'll be drinking to good riddance to bad managers (aka "the time I quit after 2.75 days on the job" aka "shit, I'm going to be broke again").

You can apply to the CC.com Outside Neurasthnia Fund (commonly heard as "C'mon") for assistance.

 

I bet you could receive a deposit during or immediately after the Pub Club meeting.

BRB...have to look up "neurasthnia"
