I'm visiting Seattle!

Mary, what a fantastic picture!!! I am so sad I had to miss it. And a collection of beer bottles is nothing to be ashamed of And black & tan...it gladdens my Irish heart.

7rider, I hope we get another chance to meet up. I hope you had fun here!!! I would have felt intimidated amongst the Seven riders because it IS my dream bike after all. It's too bad I will be asleep when you leave on friday but if anything changes, let me know.

jocelynlf, maybe another time? I will have to look up the pub where you all met. We have a horrible pub vice and are always on the lookout for another one. We will have to see if your beer bottle collection can match DH's. I'm somehow doubting not...

Good morning!
Yes, I must be adjusting. I managed to sleep until 5 this morning! WooHoo!
Or...maybe it was that 20 ouncer!
Was wonderful to meet you guys. Always fun to put faces (and voices) to screen names and avatars. Thanks for coming out to play!
Thanks for the kind wishes for Terry, Mary. Continued healing to you, too. I really hope they throw the book at the driver and that things work out well for you both. (I told DH about your beautiful bike this morning - he was asleep when I tried calling last night - and we both mourn for it.)
Back into the salt mines of meetings and workshops.

On 2nd thought, 7rider, if you do wake up in the middle of the night - call Teigyr!!! (see her posting time!)...
Also, Teigyr - yeah, you guys would like Paddy's, f'sure.
Jocelyn gave 7rider quite a few tips about the So Lake Union neighborhood offerings, as well as the location of REI's flagship store...plus effusive suggestions to ride the S.L.U.T. - oops, streetcar
7rider, I'll be heading to SeaTac on Thursday evening, (Linda's Mom is coming in @9 - to visit her and help with Linda's dinner/silent auction fundraiser for our AIDS ride in NY this Saturday), so I can meet up for dinner again before you leave if that works...just lemme know.

That sounds good, Mary.
Let me see what's going on with the group and I'll give you a shout.

7rider, it was great meeting you. Have a great time in Seattle, and please pass on our well-wishes for Terry and his family.

I'm too much of a newbie to know any better. Except that ti is lustrous, and that Sevens are some pretty incredible bikes. Either way, I'm not planning on turning my Rodriguez into a rain bike anytimes soon, like MM_QFC's.

Probably not, I'm a lightweight these days. And the only bottle I keep is one of the last Rolling Rocks to come out of Latrobe. Kinda bummed I couldn't find one of those little old 7-oz. Pony bottles, though. Those were classic.
