Is it too late to join on the 19th? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1294900 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 16:47:36 +0000 Marlene 1294900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have fun you guys! &nbsp;My brother and family will be in town that weekend so no go for me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1294872 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 16:01:58 +0000 Angie 1294872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm finalizing arrangements on the 19th via email. So far we have Jackie and Aida joining Diana and me. (Wooohooooo, Jackie is driving down from Vancouver).&nbsp;Suja and Christy can unfortunately not come. PM me if you'd like to join in the fun. We're doing the local thing at Cafe Flora&nbsp;close to my house for brunch - just for a change - before we head downtown. I will be chaffering Diana (she is a brave gal). I live very close to downtown so it's easy.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1278139 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 20:15:20 +0000 Diana 1278139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, it would be fun to hang out if you are free on the 16th! &nbsp;I am not sure what my plans are yet, probably just exploring the city. &nbsp;Two things I really want to do are Pike Place and the Chihuly garden/museum, which are both very centrally located. &nbsp;And Nordies of course but maybe I'll save that for Saturday with Angie.</p> <p>Christy, I hope you'll be able to make it on the 19th. &nbsp;And ... Puppy!!!!! &nbsp;How exciting!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1277542 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 21:31:15 +0000 Aida 1277542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna I'd love to join you two for dinner on the 16th! I could also come down for the morning of the 19th. What are your plans during the day on the 16th Diana? I'm not as intimately familiar with Seattle proper as the gals who live there are&nbsp;but I can take the day off, do have a car, and wouldn't mind driving. Maybe if one of the more urban Seattlites could provide guidance, or if you have an idea of the things you'd be interested in hitting up. Let me know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1277284 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:43:03 +0000 christy 1277284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to join up with you all on Saturday the 19th for at least a little while. We might be getting the newest addition to our little family that day - a puppy! - but I'll be there if I can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1276994 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 02:36:58 +0000 annagybe 1276994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If anyone wants to come to dinner on the 16th? Please let me know. I'll be making reservations for a restaurant on the waterfront.<br />Probably around 5:30pm</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1276170 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 07:47:04 +0000 anne 1276170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exicting for you all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1276158 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 07:09:50 +0000 Suja 1276158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I could free up those days too. &nbsp;Would love to meet other Seattle fabbers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1275801 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 23:06:41 +0000 Aida 1275801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh fun!! Well I could free up all of those days I think (hooray for flexi work schedule), but I'll double check to be sure. I'd be happy to come hang out at any time, both for the weekdays and for&nbsp;Saturday&nbsp;:D We have a lot of fantastic food here, and of course the seafood is super fresh. Lots of other tasty agriculture too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1275521 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 17:12:03 +0000 Angie 1275521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Done.

I will scope out restaurants for the 16th.<br />Unfortunately I already traded call that month for my Dad's birthday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1275451 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:29:02 +0000 Angie 1275451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent, Diana. PM me with&nbsp;details when you have them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jackie, I hope you join us.

I need to go to bed but just wanted to say Yes to both things - drinks/dinner w/Anna on 16th and hanging out with Angie on the 19th. So excited! Will write more tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1274999 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 01:34:29 +0000 jackiec 1274999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you guys are planning for a meetup on Sat July 19th then I'm pretty sure I could come down too!!! Keep me posted!!! I'd love to join you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1274842 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 22:51:40 +0000 Angie 1274842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Yay. DIANA.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>You are right.&nbsp;I'm busy with&nbsp;10 to 14 hour shopping days from the 10th to the 17th of July. (NAS preselections with clients). I'm free&nbsp;on Saturday the&nbsp;19th though, and&nbsp;would love to meet up with you. </p> <p>I can fetch you - and take you back - to and from the U-District no problem - but I'm warning you - I'm not the best&nbsp;driver. J was kind enough to lift me back to South End - and I will do the same for his lovely wife.</p> <p>I vote stay in town. And Hotel Monaco is fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ballard is cute - but far out. U-Village is easy and quite quaint.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1274818 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 22:27:41 +0000 Marmee 1274818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately, I'm out of town that week, returning the afternoon of 7/19. &nbsp;If you stay in the U District, be sure to have breakfast at the Portage Bay Cafe. I think it's attached to a hotel, but I don't know anything about it (the hotel). &nbsp;I'd be up for a get together Saturday night or Sunday anytime (although it sounds like you have your conference on the weekend).</p> <p>Ballard Avenue is a fun place to shop&nbsp;(bus information <a rel="nofollow" href="http://inballard.com/metro">here</a>). &nbsp;There are lots of non chain stores, mostly clothing and home stores, plus restaurants. &nbsp;Horseshoe is fun, and I like the shoes at Resoul. &nbsp;Fremont is fun, too (bus 26 or 28 from downtown, plus a bus from the U district that goes through Fremont to Ballard). &nbsp;Les Amis is one of my favorite boutiques in Seattle. &nbsp;The U Village is an easy walk from the U District, and no doubt there's a bus there, too, but you probably have most of the stores in Boston (Anthro, Gap, J Crew, Margaret O'Leary, Madewell, H&amp;M). &nbsp;If you do go to U Village, check out Mercer and a new store there, Hot Mama (which may be a chain, but it's new to us).</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1274738 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 19:56:29 +0000 annagybe 1274738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on call 7/18-7/19.<br />But I before then I can easily meet after work for drinks and food on the 16th.<br />It's very easy to get a bus from downtown to the U-district.<br />What kind of food do you like? What's your budget? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-in-july---potential-meetup#post-1274733 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 19:50:25 +0000 Diana 1274733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mentioned in the recent Seattle meetup thread that I would be in town for a meeting in mid-July.&nbsp; I would love to get together with Fabbers while I am there for shopping, a meal, coffee, whatever.</p> <p>Anyway, I have not bought my plane tickets yet but the general plan is that I will be arriving most likely on Tuesday July 15th (hopefully on a morning flight), and leaving on July 20 on a redeye flight.&nbsp; My meeting does not start until evening of July 17th so I will be free until then.&nbsp; I'll most likely stay in a hotel downtown before the meeting, and then during the meeting I will be staying in conference housing (on campus housing at the University of Washington). </p> <p>So, I will definitely be free all day Wednesday, July 16th, as well as the morning and early afternoon of July 17th.&nbsp; I realize that people will have llimited availability on weekdays though!&nbsp; The other option would be Saturday, July 19th.&nbsp; This is technically a meeting day but the talks that I am interested in don't start until 4pm on that day, so I could potentially skip out for the morning and early afternoon.&nbsp; </p> <p>Some other things:<br />--Do you think downtown is the best place to stay, keeping in mind that I will have no car and would prefer walking places if at all possible?&nbsp; Any hotel recommendations?<br />--Angie, I have a sneaking suspicion that these dates are during NAS, so I totally understand if you are swamped!<br />--Any must see/do/shop/eat places in Seattle?&nbsp; I am definitely going to go to the big Nordstrom!&nbsp; <br />--How easy is it to get from the University area to the rest of the city and how long does it take? If we do a meetup on Saturday the 19th I will have to get there from the University and then get back in the afternoon in time for meeting stuff.&nbsp; </p>
