Just make up the collective mind before tommorow or somebody PM me a phone # I can hook up with in the afternoon to find out where. Quote

Â Peter, this is Matt's subtle of telling you to talk to the hand because the face is angry. Â So, I shouldn't go. Â oh and CBS the answer is yes. Quote
olyclimber Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 i think you and matt should go and work through this rift. Quote
mattp Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Suggest a place without a TV, or a later start time. I'll watch the State of the Union and catch up with you there. If you don't like politics, how about show and tell? What is everybody bringing for show and tell? Quote
mattp Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Allright then. It'll be great to see the two of you. Quote
chucK Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Didn't you say something good about the Wedgewood Alehouse recently? Their N Face looks like a pretty good bouldering wall (and it's in an alley). Â Wedgewood Ale House anybody? Before/during/after (?) the SOTUA by the POTUS? Â Quote
Double_E Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 State of the Union... now there's a potetial TV drinking game. Just drink every time Dubya says "nuke-yaler" or makes a reference to God. Â Â Â I might try to come join y'all, but if so not till like 8 or 9 pm. Quote
mattp Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Allright then, we'll convene a little later (after the State of The Union speech). Â Wedgewood Alehouse 8515 35TH Ave NE Ste A Seattle, WA 98115-3675 Â Probably the easiest way to get there is to take Lake City Way to 95th, about one mile from the highway. Take NE 95th St. east to 35th Ave NE, then turn south on 35th Avenue NE. The WEdgewood Ale House will be on the right, just before the corner where QFC is on the left. Â This is a neighborhood tavern, with pretty decent burgers/sandwiches (not the old timer's place call the Wedgewood Broiler, nearby). From a Seattle Citysearch website revew: Â The staff here has always been friendly and very knowedgable, which is pretty impressive considering the 20 or so beers on tap. has a very casual, 'neighborhood bar' kind of feel. the food is quite good too - a big step above typical bar food. be sure to try the turkey sandwich...they roast the turkey right there so it is wonderfully fresh. Â Pros: good beer, good food, nice people Cons: smoky (smoke is no longer a problem) Â I'll bring along the new Whitelaw guidebook and maybe a ski guide you might find interesting, EE. Quote
klenke Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I will make an appearance. Â Your "con" won't apply with the new smoking ban, unless you're talking about the liberals' ire causing smoke to come out of their ears after watching the Big Idiot-B speak. Quote
mattp Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 ...unless you're talking about the liberals' ire causing smoke to come out of their ears after watching the Big Idiot-B speak. Â Could be a problem. Quote

mattp Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 What is the Wedgwood Ale House like? Imagine that you and your 20-, 30-, 40-something friends are tired of listening to ear-shattering music, ignoring fall-down drunks, or having to fight your way through throngs of undergrads to get a pint. You just want a nice friendly place that feels like your uncle's den. So you decide to clear out your basement and make a hangout you and your friends can escape to. You leave the alternating light green/dark green linoleum tiles down, because, hey, you're not made of money. You build yourself a horseshoe shaped bar and plop a dozen barstools around it. You mount the TV at the opening of the horseshoe, right above the 18 taps. You get the best local microbrews and include a few imports for variety. Why not throw in a hard cider? You don't bother with bottles, because you like your beer fresh. You only keep a little "grape juice" around to be polite. You put in a bunch of booths around the walls and a few tables to fill out the floor. And you put in a cool dart board. Quote
Jim Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 As you'll be in my 'hood and I no longer have Tuesday evening class I'll have to stop by for introductions. Good place, friendly folks. Quote
JayB Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Someone get a shot of Jim and PP shaking hands over a pitcher.... Quote
Jens Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 If people go for a later start time I'd like to down a pint or two this evening. Quote
mattp Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 You're in luck, Jens. I think we're talking about gathering some time 8:00 pm or after that. Quote
