Of course! I'm sure they'll enjoy the view, you can look out over the water and the surrounding fish market is pretty neat.

I can't guarantee the conversation will always be clean and family-friendly, but I like to think we'll all be on our best behavior.

Remember one of you guys have to pick me up a Didact shirt if they have a shop there!

(Obviously I will pay you back)

Like I said earlier I am not able to come to the Pre-Meet-Up because I am invited to a BBQ. And I always wanted to try out a BBQ. But I am open for every other meet-up on this weekend. :)

I'll be at PAX, but I'm traveling with a group of five other people, so I'm not sure I'd be able to break away for any off-site meet ups. It would be cool to meet some of you at the show itself though; hanging out in a group should make waiting in line all day to play Halo 4 a bit easier.

I'm going with 2 others and I'm totally ditching them, at least for a bit, to chill with HaloGAF. I can see them any time, it's not everyday I get to meet my internet lovers.

That said, if you guys all turn out to be super lame then ya'll are the ones getting ditched.

You'll have to plan some in advance, but you could try and rent a room at the Rock Box in Cap Hill for Karaoke.

Fantastic idea! Easy walking distance from the convention center, but not so close that it will be flooded.

Possible Thursday night plan? The Rock Box is 21+ only, so we won't have to ditch Hypertrooper since he already has plans...

Not even an attempt at crediting yours truly for finding the place.

I see how it is.

Well regardless you can count me +4 in.

I was just coming here to ask about a Thursday night meetup; I just added Thursday night to my hotel reservation. I'd love to meet up with some HaloGAFers before the convention.

But if it's karaoke, I'll stay in the hotel. Maybe catch a movie.

Actually, I was thinking we should pick a restaurant to meet at for Thursday's dinner. From there we can figure out if we really want to do karaoke or just find some other entertainment.

If there's a divide, we can always split up after dinner, but I'd at least like to make dinner plans that fit everyone interested.

I'm flexible on meet up stuff, I just don't enjoy karaoke. Like, really don't enjoy it. Not trying to be a downer, just tossing in my$0.02

That would be great. There are a lot of good local places in downtown. Pizza?

I need as much seafood as I can get. We don't get good stuff in Iowa. :p

That works too. I grew up a meat and potatoes guy in Iowa, and still am, but I like me some good fish and chips.

Given how good the seafood is in Seattle, that would be a good option so long as everyone agrees.

Cool. Looking for a seafood place in downtown Seattle that isn't crazy expensive. Preferably something within walking distance of the convention center (where I assume most of us have hotels nearby).

Fake Edit: Pike Street Fish Fry seemed promising, but it sounds like they don't have very much seating. I'm finding a lot of places that look super fancy and costly. Still searching.
