Seattle TE dinner

I'll be back in sunny Seattle 20-22 August and wondered if folks would like to meet up for dinner one of those nights - let me know your preference.

This time I will accompanied by my SO. He has celiacs disease so is gluten free - knott maybe you can suggest somewhere to eat?

I hope that everyone I met last time will be able to come and anyone else who couldn't make it then.

MMQFC - sorry we couldn't fit our dates around yours but we fly back to Scotland on 30th Aug and need to spend some time in Calgary before then.

I fly out tomorrow and should really be packing but find myself engaged in displacement activity......

Hot diggity!!!

Yeah, I'll help pick someplace to eat! I pretty much eat anywhere, so if we figure out what type of food everyone wants to eat, then I will do the footwork to make sure Future Mr. Bruno and I will be able to eat there.

I think i am available too. Can't wait to meet him. we can go somewhere gluten free but that has meat, right?

I will be in Pittsbrugh from August 10-22! :( It seems I always have something going on! sigh

You can't stay through the weekend?

Definitely!

Well, I'm all packed and ready to go. I fly out tomorrow morning.

Just relaxing watching the Tour de France at the moment.

Susan 126 - I'm not sure we can stay through the weekend as we have to get back to Calgary. I'll let you know if we change our plans.

sulking momentarily here :( - let me know if plans change too, willya?! and hey, look what's going on this weekend near here:

Bruno :D:D:D

Oddly enough, I just saw THIS today -

You sure you want to miss it?

I am only available on that friday so maybe it depends on what time you fly out. Maybe an impromptu luncheon could happen on the 22nd? The other days I work until 2am and I really don't think anyone wants to stay up that late.

Can't wait to meet the future Mr. B :D

Good one, T! :D:D:D
Glad that you're all over the comedic 'maturity index' for the Seattle gang! No juvenile bathroom jokes for us! :D

Aw, man! I'm heading home (across the state) the day before. So close!! It would be fun to meet some fellow TE "bike nerds". ;)

I should be in town those days, so count me in!

Susan -- Pgh in August, huh? Any Steelers training camp for you?

I wish! No, I'm going home to help my sisters and brother. We are moving our parents into an assistive living place. Very nice one too! My one sister did all the research and searching and it's beautiful. Of course mom and dad (77 and 91) do not want to move out of their home of over 56 years. It's going to be a tough 12 days! And I won't have my stress releasers . . . MY BIKES to help me destress.

Knott - have you tried Greens GF beer?

When I asked Mr Bruno what he missed most about having celiacs he said 'Beer' and he thinks this is the best GF beer he's tasted. I like it too.

The US distributer seems to be in washington state so it shouldn't be too hard for you to get hold of some.

The guy that makes it has celiacs so he understands the problem.

Okay - gotta go to the airport now:D:D:D

My favorite gluten free beer hands-down is Red Bridge. Made by the same company who makes Budweiser, and was recently bought by a European company whose name has completely escaped me.... anyway, I hope the new holding company doesn't drop the Red Bridge.

Bard's Tale beers are good, but not as good. They are my second favorite.

I've seen Green's at the store, but it's so incredibly expensive that I've never bought any.

Susan, that sounds like SOME MOVE. 56 years in one home is a good run! Glad you like the place they're moving to, it will do wonders for your peace of mind.

I hope all goes smoothly!

The Brunos should hit seattle on 19th August and plan to be there till 23rd - this would allow a Friday night dinner if that suits folks best - we are happy to go with whatever night suits most folks - so post here or PM your preference and I`ll try and co-ordinate things.

Also we are looking for bed and breakfast or Inn type accomodation that would be handy for some (easy) cycle paths - anyone got any recommendations for a nice place to stay? I picked a couple up from the web but one said no alcohol allowed so that was rejected pretty quick :D

We will be bringing our bikes in the car so its not essential that we are near cycle paths, but it would be nice.
