Then flying out of Portland on monday morning. Havn't figured out accomodations yet, but I'm planning to rent a car, so I'll be mobile. Meet-ups with fellow Seattle and Portland TC members would be fun. Also, the gigs I'm going to see are highly reccomended (I'll post in the music section), so if you have the chance, join me! Feel free to reply, pm, e-mail to coordiante. Ran [ Edited by: kick_the_reverb 2006-03-15 11:07 ]
W woofmutt Member Seattilite Telstar Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 2639	W woofmutt Posted posted on Mon, Feb 27, 2006 1:00 PM March 17th should be a good night to go out...I doubt there's anything big going on so soon after Mardi Gras. Pig Iron BBQ is a pretty great lil joint in Gerorgetown (technically south Seattle, about 3 miles south of downtown) where there's one dollar beers on Friday nights and Shake the Shack on the radio. Fridays I like to hit it after work and the famous Miss Sweetpea has been seen there more than a few times on a Friday as well. What I'm sayin' is: That could be somethin'.

I've never even seen Satan's Pilgrims live but their records are great so I'm real excited! We're staying at the Jupiter in Portland on Sat and Sun but we haven't booked a room for Seattle yet. Any hotel recommendations?

What time do they open? We should go early so we can make it to the show in time.

How come they close so early in the Bay Area? http://www.tradervics.com/rest-bellevue.html http://www.tradervicsbellevue.com/ Happy Hours are Mon-Fri from 4-6 and Mon-Thurs 10-close and Sunday 4-close!

I'll check 'em out. I'm looking forward to seeing you and Seattle again. I haven't been back up there in several years!

W woofmutt Member Seattilite Telstar Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 2639	W woofmutt Posted posted on Wed, Mar 1, 2006 7:34 PM If you go to the Vic's the best time to head there would be 3-4ish PM and don't plan on headin' back until after 6:30 or so. The Seattle to East Side (where Hellevue is) commute is generally a slow movin' mess. The area where Vic's is has become a major night life magnet for...[opinion of peoples who go there deleted]. But yuh could get lucky...Again, I doubt many people will be going out on March 17th. The Moore is one of the better downtown options for price and usual availability. It's an old hotel, not fancy but not far from the Funhouse. Short cab ride, not too long a walk.
S sweetpea Tiki Socialite Seattle Joined: Jan 14, 2003 Posts: 885	S sweetpea Posted posted on Thu, Mar 2, 2006 9:53 AM Doubt I would make it to Smellevue on a Friday night after work. Plus, already going the next weekend makes me not wanna do it two weekends in a row. Any chance you guys could go during the day?

Glad you'll both be up here in the Northwest for a quick visit. Selector Lopaka and I are up for meeting at Trader Vic's ! I'm not sure if we can get there by 4:00, but we'll do our best. Just sent you both a PM.

It sounds like it will be a yuppie madhouse on Friday happy hour especially on St. Patty's, so I'm up for lunchtime drinks at Vic's instead if KTR is into it. Then perhaps we can hang out at the PigIronBBQ for a while before the show instead of fighting traffic from Bellevue back to Seattle. Dollar beers, good music, and BBQ sound great to me! Yeehaw!

[ Edited by: thejab 2006-03-01 12:04 ] Well - we have more rain and not much else to do up here but Drink? Look forward to seeing you boys in town seeing as Jab is missing the Crawl this year. Maybe we can do a pre-show get together at the "Bi". Pilgrims are one of the best Surf bands I have ever seen! I have played on many a shows with them - and they are a bunch of really swell fella's!

Sounds good to me. I would hate to battle traffic. Lunch time at TV it is. I'll try sniffing around to see if the Pilgrims and Nebulas plan to go to TV. Ran
P puamana Member Seattle, WA Joined: Aug 02, 2002 Posts: 290	P puamana Posted posted on Thu, Mar 2, 2006 2:33 PM Sounds like a plan ! I think we might be able to go to Trader Vic's at lunchtime, too... and we're up for Pig Iron BBQ later. Another interesting place you might enjoy (if you have time) while you're here is Andy's Diner, on Fourth Ave. S. Its an old school Seattle restaurant & bar, ( 7 vintage train cars joined together), open since 1949. Though I've only been there for drinks, I think steaks are their thing. You could always stop there for a drink either before or after the Pig Iron ( its only about a mile or two from there). Just a thought. I think they're open for breakfast and lunch, too. Here's a review of Andy's from the Seattle P.I., from a few years ago: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/food/81864_eat09.shtml And a few pics of the interior & exterior here : http://www.washarp.org/diner.htm

W woofmutt Member Seattilite Telstar Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 2639	W woofmutt Posted posted on Thu, Mar 2, 2006 7:29 PM Andy's is great! Surprisingly large drinks (which seem to taste watered down...But AIN'T!), the second best onion rings in Seattle, and a pretty dang good Reuben (if they were double decor they'd bump up against the Alibi's Royal Reuben). Nice staff, too. And of course the place is cooler than heck...Real train car dining! And it ain't all cutesy. Unfortunately their evening hours are about the same as Pig Iron. Still, a meet up at 6-esque and then up the road (not far, and on the way to downtown) to Andy's at 'round 8 wouldn't be a stretch. Course that much grease in the belly will impede any further imbibing later on...One of those pesky choices.
S sweetpea Tiki Socialite Seattle Joined: Jan 14, 2003 Posts: 885	S sweetpea Posted posted on Fri, Mar 3, 2006 12:21 PM hmmm, they could share a bbq plate at Pig Iron first, or maybe just the sweet tater fries with slather, then eat at Andy's so as not to be so full they can't enjoy some drinkies at the show. hmmmmmm yes, I think it IS a tough decision. And I think I'll be Pig Ironing tonight for a bit. Pea

I may be in town for a job interview that day/night and would love to check out this new Vic's. If not dinner, can some Seattellite suggest some good dinner places near Bellevue/Redmond area? Thanks!

We decided on lunch because: It's St. Pat's day so it Vic's probably be packed after work that night. We don't want to fight traffic getting back to Seattle. I would like check out a couple of the other places in Seattle that were mentioned for dinner and/or drinks (Pig Iron, Andy's Diner).

T thejab Grand Member (1 year) Tradewinds Apartments, Alameda, CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2992	T thejab Posted posted on Wed, Mar 15, 2006 12:29 PM Who can make it to Trader Vic's Bellevue on Friday around noon? I was thinking we'll just drop in without a reservation and stay in the bar, but I don't know how crowded it will be. Methinks they probably are packed in the restaurant for lunch since it's probably a popular place for business lunches. If I have an idea of who can make it I will call the restaurant. Can't wait to SEEattle again! Even if it's way too brief a visit.

Well, maybe a bit on Friday but it's supposed to be sunny this weekend. :) I spent several days of January in Seattle a few years ago and it didn't rain. I also went there in 1990 and it didn't rain. I've been to Portland in the winter and it didn't rain, although it rained the first night of the NW Tiki Crawl last June (?). Lucky, or what? Not that I mind rain, I even like it sometimes (like in Hawaii or Florida). We've had a lot of rain this month here.
