Okay, fine, Needy-Shmeedy - one last shout out! Seattle-istas! I'm coming at ya!

My niece has said I'm welcome to bring guest(s) to her party (and/or pub crawl after - bonus, reception/party/thingy is loosely Firefly themed! I'm so proud!) So I'm mostly available for all of my stay - Thursday (late) dinner thru Monday (early) dinner. (Though there's talk of brunch on Sunday, it's not firmed yet).

I'm okay with planning on the fly, but I'd like to have some general ideas of when/if people might like to make some plans.

I'm staying at a motel called The Grove West Seattle, and will have a rental car.

So, anybody going to be in town and available for meals/hanging out/what have you? (Profile addy is good, and I'll confirm my cell# is in there too).

Oh, sorry Epic--I've been so out of it! I was going to be at a dance thing all weekend, but decided I'm sick and not up for all that. (Just a cold, and I think/hope it's on the downside now but still). I've got plans with a friend on Saturday--is your niece's thing Friday, or Saturday?

Quite probably! Saturday is booked, rest is free.

My niece's shindig is Saturday.

Argh, I'm booked all weekend! Dammit, dammit, dammit.

Oh, phooey!

(If that "weekend" leaves any unclaimed time Thursday or Monday, I'd totally get up early or stay up late to try to squeeze in a Jilli-visit, BTW, IJS).

meara, what's the swing dancing like around there? Especially something more low-key, maybe Friday or Sunday (or I guess I could manage Thursday if there's a good venue that night)? I'm not going to bring a ton of wardrobe choices or dancing shoes, but if there's something a little casual (within time constraints), I might enjoy a little dancing in a new city. (And if you're not feeling well enough, I'd rather do a low-energy hang to visit with people, obv.)

Check the Century Ballroom website? There may be other swing dancing but that's the one I know of...not sure when they do east coast swing/Lindy as opposed to west coast (which is Tuesdays)

And: maybe brunch on Sunday?

Looks like Sunday evening is swing/lindy. Awesome!

My niece mentioned Sunday brunch for whatever contingents of the family are there to get together. It's not firmed up yet, but she has first dibs, I'm afraid. Any other meal or any other day seem doable?

Also, if anyone feels like doing anything touristy, please let me know. I'm figuring on the space needle and looking at other local attractions, feel free to tag along.
