Okay, just checking. Most work and/or live around here, and while we've tried to accommodate places that are further out, it just hasn't been all that viable for those taking any kind of transportation, especially if they planned on drinking. But we'll try to keep it as easy to reach as possible for folks that are traveling farther.

Thank you, Marty, l always appreciate extra help. l'll be posting something on FB here soon as well for easier communication than we're allowed here. But for now, Lilmonster, there's a new thread up about it taking suggestions. Please chip in!

Yeah, l bus it everywhere as well as many of those who attend for the whole no drinky drivey thing. That's why the main areas l suggested are good for happys; they're all pretty much a straight shot from downtown for anyone coming from that area. Christmas week may be challenging, but let's see how people feel about it. l was thinking maybe the 16th or so - early enough to escape incoming family for an hour or two, but not smack in the middle of holiday celebration either.

Most places we meet are set up for those that don't drink as well, or at least have a decent menu of non-alcoholic cocktails/sodas/juices. All of them have food, and we usually shoot for those that have *good* food, so neither should be much of a problem. Do you work in Seattle proper?

The last happy hour in Ballard was pretty good; l'm down for People's, but haven't been in a minute - would seating be sufficient?

Rock on, thanks. l'm on a pretty tight schedule here to find somewhere else to stay, so any little bit helps.

lt seems like they should have to put me up in reasonable accommodations if the problem forces me out of my own home.

Thanks for the link - the hotline's closed until Monday, unfortunately.

Amen to that, BBA.

Well, l spend most of my time in Fremont/Ballard/Wallingford, but l eat all over...

No problem. lt definitely has its flaws, and this last season was no exception, but there are certain characters that l love so much (Lafayette, Jason) that l can't stop watching it.
