Bruno 28 here from Scotland Oct. 19-21---TE dinner!

[Xrayted]

Y'all??? You must be one of those southern Scots. heehee. Welcome sister. Have a mint julip. (sorry, I'm a wee bit drunk and whole lot happy. )

Knot - I will check out the map, thanks.

Have a mint julip.

Never have I been so disappointed in a drink as I was in a mint julip

The one I had tasted like a slushy - course it might just have been the cheap touristy bar I was drinking in in New Orleans.....

there are tons of good italian restaurants in Seattle. Up by the U district, there is Marcello's (I know all the ones down by me... and I don't think folks are going to want to go that far south) I'll get back to you. There's a nice selection of good food Italian restaurants in every corner of seattle.. (good idea!)

Yes Bruno, they are an acquired taste. The best ones are had at the Kentucky Derby from what I hear. There is a place in Savannah, Georgia (can't remember the name right now) that makes one that is simply divine. *drooling*

So after much noodling about with Bruno and a little with Mimi, here’s what we’d like to do: Have our Bruno visit-TE dinner on Saturday October 20 with all of you at our house. Here’s why:

1. We won’t have to get into a sweat about getting set numbers and reservations. So that means come one, come all. Sknot, Raleighdon, KG’s spouse, etc. Yup, Chris will of course also be there.

2. Y’all will get to see the scene of the contractor/remodel crime. Even the basement dungeon from which I posted to you guys last winter while in the Slough of Air-Compressor Despair.

3. We have rocks and minerals all over the house from rock hunting trips we’ve done (and a rock shop in the garage—rock saw, sander, polisher, rocks we found but haven’t cut yet). We have a weaving studio with two threaded looms to look at and play with (and embarrassingly vast quantities of yarn). We have, of course, bikes, for those who need a fix. Stuff to look at, stuff to play with. We’re pretty casual and laidback. It's an easy house to be at and we'd really like to have you come by.

4. Our house is close to I-5 and really easy to find.

5. Just think of the pictures we'll be able to post on TE the next day.

So...will this work for you guys? We propose that we provide all kinds of really good take-out from Whole Foods; maybe some good Chinese food from the Black Pearl...and that you just bring whatever you like to drink.

More details (time, PMs with directions) as we get closer...

[mimitabby]

so should we each sign up to bring something?

[Xrayted]

Sounds great Salsa. Do we have to do dishes? I hate doing dishes. I can volunteer Kit up for that duty...

Care to add one more to the list? I live pretty close (literally 3 mins from Knotted), I worked as a geologist for years (and thus can help id/nerdify about ROCKS!), I'm a one-generation removed Scot (Go Paisley/Glasgow!) and, um, I like to eat! Plus I'd love to meet y'all! Is it still on for Saturday the 20th?

Soitenly! I thought there was at least one more Seattle area "tiger" lurking somewhere in the undergrowth. Rock nerdifying is SO much fun. Consider yourself about to be PMed.
