Revision as of 12:19, 30 September 2008 by 24.13.141.206 (talk)

Have a party or board game night or some other activity and will welcome anyone crazy enough to stop by only knowing your coordinates? Invite them here and maybe meet some amazing persons!

PAX, Seattle WA

Coordinates: The address is 800 Convention Pl, Seattle, WA 98101... with some help from Google I figured out a 47.610883, -122.331750‎ coordinate. Looks pretty close, hope it counts.

Date and time: Saturday, August 30th 2008, probably around 16:00.

Activity: PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) is a big gamer con. If you're going there you probably know that, though. :) This looks like a great chance to have a gigantic geohash meetup, because there are bound to be a lot of XKCD readers about. We will probably gather somewhere near the convention, play nerdy games, talk about nerdy stuff, and sing the XKCD song.

Welcome: Everyone who is planning to be at PAX, or generally in/around Seattle, on this date. We are hoping to make this the biggest geohash meet yet.

Bring: Fun stuff. And anti-raptor spray. One has been known to stalk the Seattle meetups.

Additional: See this page for details/discussion.
