matthewdarlingMemberI have been lucky enough to meet a few of the forum contributers as the have come in to the Heartland Cafe and i thought it would be fun to have a “mixer” in the pirate bar this week. Thursday, between 4 and 6, I will be tending the bar. Lets meet each other and turn our online community into a face to face community!

dhgParticipantummmm, opening night of the Seattle Int’l Film Festival?????? Great idea but try me again in 4 weeks….

CarsonParticipantI love the idea!! I will try and drag Hooper along.

inactiveMemberHmmm –
I recall Charlabob raving about your mixology skills Matthew. I KNOW I like Heartland’s food, but I’ve yet to hang out in the bar. Not 100% certain I could make it, but this could be fun to meet folks.
Would you perhaps ask the cooks to make the chicken casserole again that night? That was just too tasty. :]

JanSParticipantmatthew dahling!! It’s a deal…I’ll be there by 4pm…do you know how to make a Vesper Martini? :D

WSBKeymasterReminder that Thursday is also the Taste of West Seattle (which WSB is cosponsoring), raising money for West Seattle Helpline, so anyone going to that, maybe your get-together can be a “pre-funk” … but drive safely to the other side of WS …

pigeonmomParticipantI’m ready to mix.

inactiveMemberI just checked the Taste of WS Facebook site. I’ll be honest, I had NO idea so many restaurants were lined up. Holy Moley! This event has grown just a wee bit in the past couple of years. Wow!
I think I have to figure out a way to go. I’ll buy a ticket at one of the retail outlets. That’s very convenient, I must say. Hotwire or Metro Market, most likely. The more I think about it here, I would encourage forum folks to attend with me after meeting for a drink. Stupendous idea TR!
EVERY great place to eat in WS is in that line up! Amazing! For $35 pre-sale? Are you KIDDING me? Such a deal! Such a good cause. I’m there.

charlabobParticipantthe charlabobs will be there(request “wicked wench” — a darling matthew special!)
May 17, 2010 at 3:32 pm #694541
JoBParticipanti will be there.. can’t vouch for hubby.. he is on deadline:(
May 17, 2010 at 4:42 pm #694542
bsmommaParticipantSounds like a good reason to venture out on a Thursday! Maybe I’ll drag Mommym and/or my sister with me! :)

Veteran WisdomMemberI love the idea but I’m stuck in the HMC OR until after 930pm… I might stop by for a drink after work though!
May 18, 2010 at 5:21 pm #694544
JoBParticipanti suspect i will be there on the early side of things… a good drink without alcohol is the true test of any bartender’s skill..
May 19, 2010 at 12:15 am #694545
charlabobParticipantbump — plenty of time to do this and all the other things on the WSB “to do” list. One of the joys of living in a real city. :-)

JoBParticipanti am hoping a few women .. and men.. with a liberal dose of attitude .. show up.
It’s fun to run into my WSB neighbors at the local grocery and connect a face to someone who now knows more about me than my next door neighbors because they have literally been reading what i think for years :->
i know there are those who would never post candidly here without the veil of anonymity… and i respect that choice.. but it’s not one i have chosen.
i like to think i am making friends here… those who have stepped out of cyberspace into my reality have greatly enriched my day to day life.
it’s funny… i find myself responding in person and finding common ground even with most of those i have met who can’t find a positive word in the most innocuous comment on the forum :)
imagine that.. we all turn out in the end to be reasonably nice people ;->

JoBParticipantMay 21, 2010 at 2:35 am #694554
JanSParticipantOK, about 10 of us showed up for Happy Hour at the Benbow between 4pm and 6pm…where were the rest of you? Carson? Johnnyblegs? We’ll do it again in a coiuple of weeks…again, a Thursday, when Matthew Darling is bartending. If you go, have a Wicked Wench…yummy ! :)
May 21, 2010 at 3:12 am #694555
SueParticipantSorry I missed the gathering. I didn’t get home until after 5 and then wanted to get to the Taste of WS around 6 since I didn’t have advance tickets and didn’t want to get shut out. Hopefully next time I can join you.
May 21, 2010 at 4:07 am #694556
JoBParticipantWe had a great time…
great bar.. great drink.. great barfood.. great price..
oh.. the company was good too:)
