Beck Posted July 13, 2001 Share 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?

AlpineK Posted July 13, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oo9 Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 AlpineK How about a lift for a local Ballard tree hugger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted July 13, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted July 13, 2001 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted January 26, 2006 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
