- Saturday is about the best water location possible: in Lake Washington in beautiful weather, and yet far enough offshore that it's impressive. And if we don't all reach the exact location, Madrona Park is good. Jack 06:58, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Free movies in Bremerton
[1] Friday night - Top Gun
It's right near the ferry terminal from Seattle. And it's free. But you have to go home, when it's over. My apartment is too small and dirty for guests. But if you feel the need (the need for speed!), you should be there.
Most recent on top?
There are two kinds of people: those who don't, and those who say things in the wrong order.
AGAINST!!! ...haha, yeah, metahumor aside, whatever. I'll be the cog in your machine. Let's do it. --Nukewaste 10:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey, a few other pages have been reversing their entries, putting the most recent on top. For or against? --Thomcat 03:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
First Thursday
The first First Thursday group was an outstanding success. Hope to see more of us turn out for the Thursday August 7th meetup.
Facebook Group
There wasn't one, so I made one. Enjoy. http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=17607679505 --Fiveofoh 18:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Saturday August 30th Geohash @ PAX
I'd like to make the bold suggestion that we ignore whatever the algorithm says for this date and have it either at the Penny Arcade Expo or near the convention center--I'm assuming at least twenty of you locals are attending. Presumably, hundreds of xkcd readers and geohashers will be there and we can have the biggest meetup ever. -- Leoger
This seems like a safe bet. We can plan to have everyone reroute from the actual location to the convention hall.
We might even have people from other areas, that we could meet up with. I know people from england that have flown in to PAX.
Maybe in the forum or somewhere else, we could post an official invite for the 30th? --Nukewaste 00:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Islands
This sucks. How do we get to those tiny little islands??
- Row boat?
- What if we instead head east to the next graticule when the point falls in or west of Puget Sound? It's always fun to go up to the mountains. - Cahlroisse
- There's mountains to the west as well... Puget sound is basically the eye of a geological hurricane. Everywhere you go, there be mountains. So don't discount the west side trips. - --Nukewaste 22:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
We should plan to have one or two outings to the [Mt. Rainier] or [Mt. St. Helens] graticules one Saturday or another when they fall within the parks at an accessible area.--Cahlroisse 05:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- It would be a short notice thing, but yeah, I'm in! --Thomcat 22:49, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Dear God, they are all so far away!!
Gas concerns rule me out for this weekend (5/30 to 6/01). Mayhaps those who are going can offer carpooling services?
Carpooling should always be part of the plans! We should start hashing it out Friday morning for a Saturday trip. This city has a reputation to uphold, after all. --Leoger
Saturday June 21st Geohash
So, for the first time in awhile, I have a free Saturday (I think). I definitely would like to make an excursion to wherever the Seattle GeoHash is that day or an alternate. Morethen willing to pick up people and/or carpool. Takers? - Narfy
First Thursday chatter
- Seattle Art Museum Downtown Seattle 10 AM - 9 PM
--Anyone up for meeting here this Thursday, July 3rd?
- EMP and Sci-Fi Museum Seattle Center 5 PM - 8 PM
I think Thursday is the 3rd of July, but Nukewaste will probably be going to Seattle, so may visit the SAM and the SAAM, and then the SFM in the evening.
I am definitely heading to the Sci-Fi Museum on Thursday JULY (PFFF) 3rd! I've been meaning to do this major geekout for two years now and I haven't had the chance. I'd love for everyone to come! - Sparkamusprime
- Somebody buy Sparkamus a calendar at the gift shop ;) --Thomcat 21:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Damnit, it's July. I hate that. You be quiet. :P Sparks
- WutWut? Tentative times - 3pm at Seattle Art Museum; 6pm at EMP/SciFi Museum --Thomcat 19:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- See you there, wutwut! Probably more like 5.30pm at the EMP/SciFi! Sparks
