Does anyone want to throw some dates out to see if we can make this happen?

How about a Sunday afternoon so traffic is light for everyone to get there. Ill throw April 26th or May 3rd out there for starters. Roanoke Tavern on Mercer Island is a cool place and shouldn't be too busy then. Great bar if you've never been there and they have a nice outdoor area if the weather is nice. Once we get a date and a head count, Ill call ahead and see if I can get the back room reserved.

Either of those dates work for me, the 3rd is probably better.

But the lifts are still running for the next 2 weekends. Headed to White tomorrow unless Crystal gets a better dump. Game time decision. Looking forward to meeting everyone, hopefully we can make the 1st Annual PNW Builders Convention happen, even if it is just a few of us. If anyone is heading to White or Crystal tomorrow, let me know and maybe we can hook up for a few turns.

Cheers, -D

And bring some pics of your builds or better, throw a few in the car and we can have a show and tell in the parking lot. There's usually parking available in the rear behind the tavern.

While we live in Microsoft land, I don't know if were that cool to make this happen via Skype or other methods right now. Ill take some pictures to post and my hope is that this movement grows over time. Maybe someday we can broadcast live but for now I'm just happy to get a few of us together to shoot the shit. Ill take notes and let everyone know how the discussion goes. Thanks for all of your support.
