Seattle kind of sounds like satellite.

Okay, cool, thank you.
The hotel has mentioned they can book kayaking tours specifically, so I'll be sure to jump on that.

I still need a day pass for PAX Prime, yo.

I go to my cabin every year on Labor Day Weekend, so no PAX for me and no PAX tickets on my end.

I've never been. The only con I've been to was in Portland. PAX is where it's at, I gather. People apparently come from all over the world.
You probably don't need to book a tour or anything. Just head to AguaVerde on Sunday morning right when they open. There will be no line. Explore around at your leisure, plenty to see without needing a tour guide.
Grab a breakfast burrito upstairs when you're done. Starting the day right!

I found some Monday passes on cl. Anybody else need one?

I wish AguaVerde's food was better
I've only been there once, 14 years ago. It was ok, but I haven't been back since.

Oh yes? I could be. Was borrowing a Monday ticket (have the 3 other days myself) but going by a tweet that appeared while I slept, that might no longer be available, and I really want to see that brodeo panel.

They are like $50. That's marked up 20.
I'm asking 40 each(4 for 160)

Their breakfast burritos and homemade biscuits in the morning (before the restaurant opens, just from the window) are amazing.

I can't wait to go to Seattle!!! Totally pumped for it all. Going to probably pick up the tix for $45 each.

Absolutely, if you can give me a deal. I am expecting a check in the mail soon. PM me or something. Thanks!
I'm not sure I need to go to all 3 days. Check this thread and maybe Dartastic can hook me up with Monday?

Went camping in Entiat all weekend. Just got home and it looks I avoided some shit ass humidity.

What if the air were so humid we could fucking swim?
Were you at, or just returning from, Hempfest when you posted this?
lol, j/j, ps how would we breathe?
whiterabbit
Member
Nope, I did have a bit of hard apple cider though. I guess if it were water vapor it would still have enough oxygen that we could breathe. It would be kind of cool if we could just float instead of having to deal with gravity.

Seattle is 180 miles from Portland. 
Or else I would.

180 miles is nothing! Or you can't drive/bus/train?
Makes me remember when my wife back than lived 400 miles away =( I would still go see her.

Yeah, that's why I am even posting in this thread. It's not THAT far. But it is still far. I have a car, but I don't like driving that much. I mean, a 3 hour drive is a lot. That's just one way. If I had to drive back to Portland, that would be 6 hours in one day.

Nice! I was there too. Was this your first time seeing them? What did you think?

man seattle's hipsters let everyone down this time
distantmantra

I think your average early 20's hipster was a little late on the MBV hype train. Loveless came out in 1991 and I didn't get into them until I was a freshman in college in 1999.
I was surprised they moved the venue, though.
Portland is where you should be looking for model hipsters. Seattle's don't have their own TV show.
The sad part is that the hipsters here sit around and laugh at the show like they're not doing the same exact things.

I think the funniest parts of Portlandia are the things I can identify with and relate to. I don't have a problem making fun of myself.
We (north western folks, not just hipsters) are laughing at ourselves.
The only utterly nonsensical thing I have heard about Seattle is the "freeze" whereby people claim Seattleites are not friendly, and more specifically, "fake" initial friendliness and then become cold.
It's total garbage and the kind of "fact" that you will definitely "discover" because you're looking for it.
People in Seattle are basically normal, and many of them aren't even from Seattle.
Ha, I got into a long discussion about the Seattle Freeze on facebook. I insist it doesn't exist, and the problem lies with people that move here unable to assert themselves enough to ask people to do things.

I have a feeling Seattle is going to be happenin' on Labor Day weekend. And I will actually be at PAX on Labor Day.

I'll be leaving the city for a nice weekend at a cabin up near Mt. Rainier. Have fun and don't burn it down while I'm away.
I had the website tab up on my browser for weeks and I still missed the four-hour window where tickets were available. Had they gone on sale any other time than the early afternoon I may have had a chance, but no such fortune this year.
I'll be in Florida.

I've been to pike place, space needle, emp. What else should I try to do in your city?
distantmantra

Fremont Troll? Ballard Locks?
Basically just get the hell out of downtown and visit the neighborhoods.
