olyclimber Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 Forgot about this, but even though it says last date to pay via the clubhouse was yesterday, I just called and was able to pay.
Dane Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Thought about that myself as the last one I went to was in NYC. But this is Seattle and @ the Redhook. We're all cliimbers, how dressed do ya think they'll be
olyclimber Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 Anyone from the Seattle area (or West Seattle) want to carpool over? I need to get back right after 9pm, so I would be leaving as soon as the thing is over.
mattp Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Hey Jake: I'd share a ride with you but I live in NE Seattle so I'd meet you 3/4 of the way there and I'm not going to be in a hurry to come home 'cause my wife is at her sister's house and all I have to look forward to at home is an ornery cat.
