Beck Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 The first meeting of the CC "we're drinking now" Pub Club was attended by exactly two of us- My buddy Mike U. and myself- we both rode our bikes, him from Bellevue and me from downtown Seattle. We took the corner table on the deck and enjoyed a cool breeze wafting over the trees from Lake Washington. Pitchers of Alaskan Amber quenched our thirsts. Very attractive housewives flug their chests about the deck like status symbols, and we enjoyed the show. We drank, laughed, shared photos, ogled the ladies, intimidated the locals, swaggered, swore, chowed down and left, all without spotting a single other climber type. It took me less than twenty five minutes to bike from downtown Seattle to MI, I'm really suprised no one else in the area came down. it makes me wonder if I show up at the Parkland on Tuesday, do I need to bring someone else, so I'm not drinking alone?

erik Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 beck, i will see you at the parkway next tuesday. guaranteed! and i'llbring a drink buddy so we can look cool! Quote
AlpineK Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 Beck, I'm into driving to Tacoma. If you want to carpool send me a message. Anyone who lives in the Ballard area and wants a ride send me a note. Quote
oo9 Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 AlpineK How about a lift for a local Ballard tree hugger? Quote
mattp Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 Maybe we should have a Ballard chapter of the pub club. There are at least six or eight regular posters here in little Norway. Quote
AlpineK Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 There's The Maritime Pacific pub, or BBB across from Hales. Come to think of it BBB has lots of seating, pool tables, beer, and cocktails. Quote
jules Posted July 13, 2001 Posted July 13, 2001 Wow! I'm in Ballard, too! How cool is that? Might see you guys in Tacoma next week...... Quote
dalius Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Was this the very first pub club? 4.5 yrs. and Ballard still seems to be the preferred spot. Whaddayaknow? Â Quote

Toast Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks for digging up the origins of Pub Club. Here's to Beck Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 I still have fond memories of the last time Beck attended a Pub Club. It was at the Ballard Alehouse. He got so drunk that when he got on his bike to ride home, he crashed before he even got across the street. A couple of us went out and helped pick him up and send him on his way. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 clearly one too many heinekens at work beforehand Quote

It was Greg and I who picked him up and took him home. You stood on the corner and did nothing. Nice try though, homie. Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Yeah, by the time I found out what happened, you already had the situation under control. Quote
archenemy Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Yeah, by the time I found out what happened, you already had the situation under control. Typical. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Whatever happened, it's clear CBS is the one who screwed up/made an ass of himself/did nothing helpful. Quote
archenemy Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 This thread should be moved to Events cuz it was one. Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Is that him posting on Cascade Bike Club's forum? Quote
Dru Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Where's this Beck character now? Â He posts as Gotterdamerung over on ascensionist.com Quote
