OK--Here it is, just as I promised Easytraveler. Enzian and I had lunch last week and figured out the time and place:

Happy Hour (of course) 4-? November 2
Wanns
2020 2nd Ave. (Belltown)

So far, there are 5 of us--me & DH, easytraveler, enzian & DH and we're hoping ALL the Seattlites and those of you who will be visiting at this time will

Oh cool, sounds like fun! I will try to make it!

Excellent! Glad you posted it here as well as the Lounge, Artlover.

Looking forward to meeting you, NWWanderer.

Count me in, God willing and the creeks don't rise (as my boss used to say). Do I have to wear a killer whale costume?

Absolutely! And I shall come dressed as a blue flower.

OOOH! A costume party!

I'm going to come dressed as a young boy.

Just got my hair cut so short that, with dark glasses on, young girls are casting glances my way - LOL!

artlover: Thanks for all the work you've done to pull this GTG together!

Sooo looking forward to seeing all you Seattle Fodorites! It'll be fun to match a sign-in name to a face!

Can't wait till November!

I hope you can convince mms to join you, too. Promise you will take lots of pictures. Some of my favorite posters will be there. Wish I could be with you, but it is a long drive from Pinnacle.....

cmcfong--LOL! I really want to come, but it is DS bday. But who knows...he may not miss me Or they can do another GTG a few weeks later...I will be there for a whole week after Thanksgiving.

mms, Isn't your son young enough that you could switch days on him? You could post this dilemma on the lounge. It would be a hoot!

Orcas--I love it!!!LOL!

I'm gonna come dressed as a tennis player! Just went out and bought all black tennis clothes a la Roger Federer. Figured that what was wrong with my game.

mms, You should bring DS, especially with Orcas' costume. That in itself will make his bd one he'll never forget!

easytraveler, can't wait to see your haircut, and enzian, can't wait to see your costume too.

So, NWWanderer, how could you possibly not make it now?

And you other Seattlites--come on out of the woodwork (before the rains arrive) and join us for lots of fun!
(DH will be official photographer--he just doesn't know it yet.)

This just sounds like so much fun!

If I am in town, I most definitely will attend!

artlover----were you able to find black shoes like Roger's, with the little Swiss flag emblems? I want some too!

(but will they go with my blue flower outfit? Oh, dear. . . )

enzian, I'm looking...will let you know if I find some. And don't worry about them going with your blue flower outfit--after all, you'll be in Seattle, not Paris, and "the fashion police" have been on strike forever here!

I'd love to attend. I'll need to get a taxi from the ferry. Will I be the only one over seventy? You guys all sound so hip and very young. I'm just an obese Granny who loves to travel.

chatham~ not to worry, everyone is welcome & we're not as young as we sound -haha

But we might be as hip as we sound!

Age is just a number...and we are only as old as we feel

chatham: I will have a rental car and will be happy to pick you up.

Which ferry? Can you give me more specific directions?

Also what will you be dressed as? Whale costume is already taken. So is enzian flower. So is tennis player.
