I think I could choke down some salmon, if it’ll do you a favor.

[QUOTE=Cervaise]  
I’ll be there.

Who wants fresh-caught Copper River salmon? I have like eighty gazillion pounds of it.

Mail it to me if your freezer is overwhelmed.

Great, my keyboard is shorting out from the drool.

As a purely hijackish statement…my wife and I visisted Seattle last year…it’s now my 2nd favorite town, by a long shot (hometown of Chi-town #1). We ate Copper River salmon at Flying Fish, and I still have weird dreams involving salmon, thrown fish, and blinking ferry lights.

Sorry, check the fine print:

I’d like to be there, but we have one car and my wife needs to be in Maple Valley this evening, so I’m out. It’s good hosts – the fine gentlemen of NAMBLA promise a tasteful handling of the awkward 9/11 date. (Oh, context is fun.)

If people aren’t going tonight, anyone up for tomorrow? There are [a couple of places](http://www.quiznight.net) in West Seattle…

I can be there, but if there is no interest I can always find some boring trouble to get into somewhere else. Maybe deliver a baby and get into a gun fight. You know, the usual.

I plan to be there, if only to rescue **inkysplotchy** from the baby’s superior marksmanship.

I’m free either tonight or tomorrow. I will defer to group consensus, because that’s just how I roll.

</div>

We’re voting? Well then, one vote for tonight, because I can’t make it tomorrow.

Then again, some of the regulars could just decide to drink beer and eat pub food two nights in a row. 🙂

I can do both, but I’d prefer to do tonight. I like to get all my socialization in on one night. One vote for tonight, one half vote tomorrow.

</div>

I, as usual, have nothing standing in the way of either choice. But the group seems to be leaning at a significant tilt toward tonight at the Old Pequliar. Should we call that the official decision?

But we haven’t seen the lovely **amarinth** in _such_ a long time. (Are Tuesdays just bad in general, now?)

</div>

Perhaps we should divide and conquer? Some of us can go ahead to the OP tonight and others could find a spot in West Seattle tomorrow.

I could actually do both, if someone could give me a ride afterwards tomorrow from West Seattle to somewhere in North Seattle.

</div>

I like Tuesdays, though I thought **Cervaise** was primarily asking **amarinth**.

However, I also like trying new places. And next week at the Old Pequilar, the host is she who shall not be named, crusher of **Cervaise** ’s spirit. So regardless of what happens tonight, we should start thinking about where we’d like to play next week.

Proposals: the Northside Grill (I missed out last time), the Boxcar in Magnolia ( **stargazer** could nurse between rounds), Clever Dunn’s on Capitol Hill, Cooper’s Alehouse on Lake City, or the Celtic Swell in West Seattle.

Well, I’ll be at the OP tonight (arriving about 7:00, I think), so any of you Smurfs wanna join me, please do.

I’ll be there also, at the crack of 8. Just in time to get that amazing blank look I do so well for the geography round.

Team Name: Welcome to Pedoff Isle. (in honor of NAMBLA)

Yes, and they will be for me for a while (and of course, last week, I was out of town when you guys went to Kate’s.)

If another Monday or Wednesday comes up, I’ll be there.

Sorry not everyone could make it to enjoy VICTORY and a sweet pot of money for **Garanimal Planet** (hat tip to **Cervaise** for suggesting the superior “Garanimal Magnetism” and a big raspberry to me for disagreeing).
