Bah, just the week I'm out of town.

mwerty5• 18 years ago

We'll get you next time. :)

1. 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

I'd like to come, but I'm under drinking age I couldn't do it in a bar proper.

colinplamondon2• 18 years ago

I'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• 18 years ago

Good 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.

treeform• 18 years ago

Same here

Eastside coffee option:

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.

Sounds fun. I might even come up from Oregon depending on the day.

arjunb• 18 years ago

i highly recommend http://www.hopsandchops.com/.

thursday evenings @ linda's, great group of smart engs & entrepreneurs.

i had a great time this week.

darynnakhuda• 18 years ago

Thanks 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+.

callmeed3• 18 years ago

Sooooo ... has a date/time/loc been set? Isn't there some YC startup that will let us plan this?

mwerty5• 18 years ago

Let's meet near the fireplace area. Watch this thread for updates/changes.

callmeed3• 18 years ago

Wish I could be there ... can we do this once a month?

rkabir• 18 years ago

sorry, didn't see this until just now - hope to join you for the next one.

randfish• 18 years ago

Doh! 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.

dmv2• 18 years ago

Seconded. More advance notice would be nice (although I'm not sure I would have moved my massage to accommodate it in any event).

mleonhard• 18 years ago

I wish I had seen the post earlier. I'll definitely come to the next one.

tlrobinson• 18 years ago

Say hi to the Delicious Monster guys. They work out of Zoka. (http://www.delicious-monster.com/blog/2005/02/delicious-mons...)

iigs4• 18 years ago

Does anyone have parking advice for an eastsider making the trip?

zzzmarcus2• 18 years ago

Yeah, just park in the neighborhood in front. You might have to walk a block or two but it's easy and free.

nickmolnar3• 18 years ago

Whew. Almost forgot about this one. I'll be there

nickmolnar3• 18 years ago

Just for the record, the map is showing directions to the Greenlake Zoka, not University.

kirubakaran2• 18 years ago

Yes, U Zoka is the right one.

iigs4• 18 years ago

That one may or may not have bit me, as well. :)

kirubakaran2• 18 years ago

Please 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.

mwerty5• 18 years ago

I'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.
