Hi fellow Pacific NW TC'ers
I'll be flying to Seattle on March 17th to see Satan's Pilgrims (and the Nebulas) play at the funhouse, then driving to Portland,OR on March 18th to see them play at the Doug Fir. Then flying out of Portland on monday morning. Havn't figured out accomodations yet, but I'm planning to rent a car, so I'll be mobile.
Meet-ups with fellow Seattle and Portland TC members would be fun. Also, the gigs I'm going to see are highly reccomended (I'll post in the music section), so if you have the chance, join me!
Feel free to reply, pm, e-mail to coordiante.
Ran

March 17th should be a good night to go out...I doubt there's anything big going on so soon after Mardi Gras.
Pig Iron BBQ is a pretty great lil joint in Gerorgetown (technically south Seattle, about 3 miles south of downtown) where there's one dollar beers on Friday nights and Shake the Shack on the radio. Fridays I like to hit it after work and the famous Miss Sweetpea has been seen there more than a few times on a Friday as well.
What I'm sayin' is: That could be somethin'.

I think pre show bbq and frosty malt beverages
fits on my calendar quite nicely.
Who else is up for it?
(Not tiki, but if ya have any love for red velvet cake,or sweet potato fries this is your place... just ask Woofmutt...)

I just decided I'll be joining KTR on this trip! I've never even seen Satan's Pilgrims live but their records are great so I'm real excited!
We're staying at the Jupiter in Portland on Sat and Sun but we haven't booked a room for Seattle yet. Any hotel recommendations?

Since the Bellevue Trader Vic's will be open by then, I propose we meet there for cocktails on Friday evening. What time do they open? We should go early so we can make it to the show in time.

I just looked on their web site, Trader Vic's hours are 11AM to 2AM on Friday and Saturday, and until 1AM other days! How come they close so early in the Bay Area?

Happy Hours are Mon-Fri from 4-6 and Mon-Thurs 10-close and Sunday 4-close!
I suggest we meet there at 4:00 on Friday?

Not enough late business. SF used to be open until 12:30 or so, but it is quiet that late there.

Pea, thanks for the hotel links. I'll check 'em out. I'm looking forward to seeing you and Seattle again. I haven't been back up there in several years!

If you go to the Vic's the best time to head there would be 3-4ish PM and don't plan on headin' back until after 6:30 or so. The Seattle to East Side (where Hellevue is) commute is generally a slow movin' mess. The area where Vic's is has become a major night life magnet for...[opinion of peoples who go there deleted]. But yuh could get lucky...Again, I doubt many people will be going out on March 17th.
The Moore is one of the better downtown options for price and usual availability. It's an old hotel, not fancy but not far from the Funhouse. Short cab ride, not too long a walk.

Doubt I would make it to Smellevue on a Friday night after work.
Plus, already going the next weekend makes me not wanna do it two weekends in a row.
Any chance you guys could go during the day?

Great news, KTR & Jab ! Glad you'll both be up here in the Northwest for a quick visit. Selector Lopaka and I are up for meeting at Trader Vic's ! I'm not sure if we can get there by 4:00, but we'll do our best. Just sent you both a PM.
