As luck would have it, I am going to be in Seattle for a long weekend ... the weekend BEFORE the big extravaganza. I'll be on the west coast for work and am taking a detour to visit one of my closest friends who lives in Edmunds. We haven't yet set any plans, but I know they will revolve around shopping and eating, with a break to watch ND football (where we met).

Just wondering if any locals (including Angie?) might be up for a mini-meetup at any point between Sept 19-21 if I can work it in.
