What time are the dinner reservations? I do not get in until late afternoon and may not dress up but will look presentable.

Deb, looks like Angie booked Suika at 7pm. I am not sure how dressed up I will be (I'm starting to pack for the trip today, and not sure what I'll take to "dress up" in so it might not be terribly dressy), so I would not sweat it. I would encourage folks to NOT feel pressured to dress up if it makes things too challenging, especially for those who are traveling! (Myself included :-D)

I have no idea what I'll bring to wear, but it will need to pack pretty easily since I'll be shlepping my stuff all over WA state in the week or so before and after my time in Seattle. Time to get creative.

Oh, 7 PM. I should have plenty of time to get to dinner. I am mentally planning my weekend wardrobe. So stressful (not really) because I will be with such stylish and beautiful people.

I know what you mean, Deb! I always feel like I need to bring my best game when I dress for a YLF meetup, but also be practical for lots of walking and shopping. At least for the Friday night dinner, we don't have to worry so much about walking/shopping comfort.

No need to get too dressed up then. Just thought it would be fun instead of challenging. Come as you like!

I don't want to mess up reservations, but it looks like I have those days free. May I join you for one of the events?

It would be great if you could join Amy!

I was wondering, if some of the maybe's don't show up on Friday night, could I bring my friend Gretchen? Some of you met her last November. I know she's not available on Saturday.

Angie thank you for organizing all of the restaurant research and reservations!

Absolutely, Amy! Please join us for any and all! Just PM me and let me know if you can do dinner with us on Friday night, and breakfast Saturday morning, so I can give Angie a firm total. I'm so excited you can join us!

Oh, and Denise, yes, please, bring your friend as well! I'll give an updated total to Angie.

Janet, my friend Gretchen will be joining us for dinner at Suika. Are you getting the final count to Angie or should I PM her?

I pm'd Angie with the final count, so we're all set!

For any nerdy fabbers flying in from out of town, I heard of an interesting app on NPR's Science Friday called Flyover Country. It is a free app developed by Univ of Minnesota staff, to help you identify geologic features that you see out your window.

Oh, that is awesome. I am always gawking out the window when I fly -- last night I was trying to see the Tetons. Thanks for sharing that!

Can I be there in spirit? Looking forward to seeing the reports and the pics xx

Jenanded, absolutely! We will raise a glass or a cuppa to you and all our friends from afar!

I didn't think I'd be able to make it, but it looks like my Saturday has opened up for the late morning and early afternoon. Hoping I can make it downtown after you're done with breakfast to shop and catch up with everyone! (Not planning any meals so hoping my last minute addition is okay!)

Christy, please join us for breakfast if you can! Avia can't make it after all, so you will have a seat. Looking forward to meeting you!

Thanks Janet! I can't make it for breakfast but I should be able to connect with you all not long after. Looking forward to meeting you too!

So excited about this weekend! I will wear a dress to dinner! Maybe not "dressy" but a dress.

Sharan, I didn't bring a dress, but I did bring the lace top I bought in Amsterdam, and the Paul Green Cayannes. I'll probably wear my black moto pants. And I brought my floral clutch and blue leather moto. So I won't be terribly dressy, but definitely WAY dressier than what I've been wearing for the rest of this trip. It will be fun to wear makeup and something other than hiking boots!

I am looking forward to seeing everyone.

Jealous I'm not in Seattle, now wish I'd thought to consider flying in. Maybe next time.
Have a fabulous time, and please post!

Angie's words like regular casual urban-hip for your Friday dinner gathering and dressing up are making me wish that I had seen this so much earlier and joined the festivities.

I soooooooo wish I could be there to join all of you. I want to make the next YLF meet-up. Have fun, everyone, and PLEASE post photos so I can follow your fun, activities and shenanigans in real time.

Have a wonderful weekend!! Sending my best wishes to you all

Have a wonderful weekend! I will miss you all!

At the airport, having lunch and a margarita. See you all soon!!!

Looking forward to the pictures and finds - have fun!

Have a ball, sweet ladies!!!

Have a wonderful weekend, ladies!!

FYI: give yourself plenty of time to find parking & expect to pay event prices for private lots. It's the Capitol Hill block party.
Or take Uber/Lyft. That's what Amy & I are doing.
This is for dinner tonight
