I'm visiting Seattle!

[7rider]

Welcome to Seattle!

I just left you a VM. If you're on Westlake Ave. N., there's a great place near you called Paddy Coyne's. Oh, and you're not far from the REI flagship store, either.

Can we get a consensus going? Paddy Coyne's, Monday eve, 5:30'ish?

If that doesn't work, we may have to try for Thursday . . .

Let's aim for 6 at Paddy's on Monday. I'll chat with Marriott staff on how best to get there. I'm actually on Fairview Ave. The "airport" looked to be across the water from us (they just flew over our heads).

Yes, it's now after midnight for me and I'm about to call it a night. Bummer you can't make it Mimi. I would have loved to meet you. B/t here and BiJo, you guys are famous! Early dinner! Join us for apres....

My schedule is divine for me but impractical for the outside world. I am working 3:30pm - 2am mon-thurs. So early afternoon coffee or a friday to sunday meet-up is good but other than that, I'm thinking nobody but DH wants to see me at 3am?

Dang. Unless (ahem) you leave from the airport on a monday - thursday! I am generally up for getting out when I can though it has to be onsite.

Here's the Mapquest link to Paddy Coyne's. It's very easy from where you are. See you Monday night!

Great!
I'll try to get to Paddy's for 6 (I'll be in brown).
Teigyr...I fly out Friday at 7 a.m. Bummer I'll miss you, too.
Jocelyn - I have your VM with your # - and you have mine (texting is beyond my technical capabilities...sorry! ). I'll call if there are any issues.....I may be able to post at lunch....
See you soon!

OK, I should be there by 6 too; and, in keeping with the Irish theme, I'll be in black and tan - easier to ID me lately by looking for the gray/black brace on right wrist...see ya...

(well, a tiny contingent anyway!)
Just got home from a delightful visit in our fair city with 7rider and jocelynlf. Here's a pic of the 3 of us, after we had the waitstaff clear away all of 7rider's beer bottles...sheesh, that girl can put it away
I'm glad we had a chance to meet up and chat and hopefully you'll have a great week in Seattle, R - maybe even get some work done too?
Thanks, jocelyn, for pulling this together (and I told 7rider to call YOU, if she awakens at 3AM again! )

7rider, I'm praying and pulling for your rider friend Terry too; I hope he keeps recovering and regaining his health.
Tailwinds!
Mary

l-r: 7rider, jocelynlf, MM_QFC!

Hey, just realized that Linda and I will be at SeaTac tonight...picking up both her Mother and Goddaughter @9:30...will you be on-site or off flying stuff somewhere?

[KnottedYet]

Hey, and I was at Sea-Tac last Thursday nite, bored, for *hours*.... I thought about texting you Teigyr, and I guess I should have!

[MM_QFC!]

We had a lovely, yummy farewell-for-now dinner with 7rider, then a quick, fun visit with ready-to-race-in-the-Saturday-sprint-triathlon-Teigyr...she'll have a great time tomorrow, I'm sure!

Greetings from Denver Airport, as I venture back east.
Dinner last night was very yummy. And thanks for treating, too!
My treat when you guys are in D.C.!
Hope your dinner party goes great tomorrow.
Thanks for welcoming me to Seattle, everyone. I hope next time I can get on a bike. Except for the looooong hours spent in meetings, it was actually a wonderful trip (with LOTS of food - which is a big reason for wanting to spend some time on a bike!!! ).
Until next time......
