HN meetup in Seattle next week
After meeting a couple of hn folks locally and being blown away by their awesomeness, I figured it would be fun to meet up with more local Seattle hn people over beer and food.
Agenda: drink beer, eat food and geek out (optional).
I'm not sure what the best time/place for everyone is, so I've set up a poll - just vote for all the ones you can make and we'll go with the one with the maximum votes.
Please suggest bars in comments.
Hope you can make it!

- callmeed 18y agoWish I could be there ... can we do this once a month?
- rkabir 18y agosorry, didn't see this until just now - hope to join you for the next one.
- randfish 18y agoDoh! Wish I had heard about this earlier... I have plans tonight, but I live right near there, so if you do one again I'll definitely try to make it over.
- tlrobinson 18y agoSay hi to the Delicious Monster guys. They work out of Zoka. (http://www.delicious-monster.com/blog/2005/02/delicious-monster-on-news.html http://www.delicious-monster.com/blog/2005/02/delicious-mons...)
- iigs 18y agoDoes anyone have parking advice for an eastsider making the trip?
- zzzmarcus 18y agoYeah, just park in the neighborhood in front. You might have to walk a block or two but it's easy and free.
- nickmolnar 18y agoWhew. Almost forgot about this one. I'll be there
- nickmolnar 18y agoJust for the record, the map is showing directions to the Greenlake Zoka, not University.
- kirubakaran 18y agoYes, U Zoka is the right one.
- iigs 18y agoThat one may or may not have bit me, as well. :)
- kirubakaran 18y agoPlease don't use the google maps link. 2901 NE Blakeley Street, Seattle, WA 98105 is the right address. mwerty and I are here. See you soon.
- mwerty 18y agoI'm really sorry about the screwup with the google maps link. A few of us did meet and I had a good time. Please feel free to send out another invite say next month.
- waldrews 18y agoBah, just the week I'm out of town.
- mwerty 18y agoWe'll get you next time. :)
- DenisM 18y ago1. East->West traffic is horrible around 7pm. West->East is much better. Fewer geek-hours spent in traffic when meeting on eastside. 2. Parking on east side is usually less of a problem
- nex3 18y agoI'd like to come, but I'm under drinking age I couldn't do it in a bar proper.
- treeform 18y agoSame here
- colinplamondon 18y agoI'd love to come, but I'm in the same boat- if only by a smidge. Possible to meet at a coffee shop instead?
- aneesh 18y agoGood suggestion. I'm of age, but don't plan on drinking. If we can get some more hackers & be more inclusive, I think it'd be worth it to try something like a coffee shop instead.
- brand 18y agoI'd be up for that for sure.
- mwerty 18y agoCoffeeshop it is... any suggestions?
- zzzmarcus 18y agoZoka in the U District is nice and big, has free wifi and it's pretty easy to park around there, there's free parking on the neighborhood streets. Plus it's where Wil Shipley goes (went?) to write Delicious Library :) http://www.zokacoffee.com/index.php/page/Display/locations http://www.zokacoffee.com/index.php/page/Display/locations

- iigs 18y agoEastside coffee option: http://www.kahilicoffee.com/default.htm http://www.kahilicoffee.com/default.htm on the main drag in Kirkland, decent size and not jam packed like the Rose Hill (85th & 122nd) Starbucks. Decent supply of syrups, and I believe the coffee is good, as well (I'm a hot chocolate person, which they do well) There are several decent options up in Bothell by the UW Eastside campus, as well, but that's pretty far north.
- callmeed 18y agoSounds fun. I might even come up from Oregon depending on the day.
- arjunb 18y agoi highly recommend http://www.hopsandchops.com/ http://www.hopsandchops.com/. thursday evenings @ linda's, great group of smart engs & entrepreneurs. i had a great time this week.
- darynnakhuda 18y agoThanks for the shoutout, Arjun. Whether it's an official HN meetup or not, definitely come by Hops & Chops. We're at Linda's on capitol hill every week (same place, same time), and there's always old & new faces to hang out with. It is at a bar though, so 21+.
