I will need to know this too since I plan to hang out in Seattle pre-Sasquan in August. I remember the F2F was at a Kimpton, but I'll have to see how expensive places are.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I know the Kimpton we stayed at for the F2F in 2009(?) was very nice. I don't remember the exact address, but it was within walking distance of all the downtown shopping, Pike's Place, etc.

I would totally do dinner!
The Kimptons are nice, but it's probably cheaper to stay down near the airport. Will you have a car, or be using transit?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Seattle F2F was at the Hotel Monaco on 4th - not cheap, but nice.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
We seem to be narrowing in on Feb 21 for a Chicago gathering. Brenda, are you available then? Anyone else we haven't heard from?
Is there a preferred time of day? And the question of what we want to do still stands. (I'm a terrible social coordinator. Help me out here.)

I'm going out of town in the AM on the 21st. [Meeting meara in Mexico!] The 20th I could be there. But if that doesn't work for others, I will be there in spirit.

Plei and Meara - profile addies good? Dinner sounds fantastic on March 1.
PC I'll let you know what I find.

I ended up doing a travelocity deal where you see where you'll stay after you agree to the price. Was hoping for near the space needle or the market. I got a place near the stadium, but hopefully it will be easy transit to wherever... still, pretty affordable? [famous last words, right?]

Does the 20th work for people? Sail? ChiKat?

I'll have to check my calendar at work on Monday, since the 20th is a Friday. Depending on what time folks want to do stuff, I'll still have to take at least part of the day off.
