I assume you already have that info for Portland, since you didn't ask.

my sister recommends the silver cloud-broadway to the men, and she's hardly the cologne type

Silver Clouds are nice, comfortable hotels - you might want to bear in mind that the 10 blocks from Madison and 5th will be uphill to the hotel, but there are buses. It's not the steepest part of the regrade, but a definite incline.

it's more like evangelicism

my parents like the one in the U district, on the far side of U Village (and right by the Burke-Gilman trail), but that might be a bit too suburban in character and far-flung for the carless

I'm assuming Morbius lives in NYC? If so, then I don't think a few blocks of an incline is going to be a deterrant, especially given how much lighter and more comfortable Seattle weather will be like in late June compared to NYC in late June.

Then again, I regularly walk up and down Queen Anne Hill, some parts of which have to be at a 40 degree incline... so maybe I'm not the best person with which to empathize.. heh heh.

Yeah, what I remember of walking around in NYC, it was f.l.a.t. Queen Anne hill is 456 feet of near vertical, though the regrade cut on Denny is more steep.

Fuck a Queen Anne Hill slope. That is horrible stuff.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 06:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Well anyway, the Broadway incline to Silver Cloud isn't anywhere near Queen Anne Hill type slopes, Morbius... and it won't be 90% humidity here.

No Chris, I'm taking things sequentially, feel free to recommend the non-twink Portland stuff. :)

Jeez, the baseball con basics are more expensive than last year ... I may stay downtown just for convenience, and hike it to the DoubleHeader, Eagle etc. (yes I'm in NYC, and I hike the hills of SF fairly easily when I go.

seven years pass...

Not a Seattle-centric revive, but -- I'm going to get in my truck and wander the country for a few days next week. Anybody east of the Mississippi want to meet up?

one year passes...

Thinking about Portland and/or Seattle in September. Anybody interested in meetups?

― catfishers of men (WilliamC), Friday, 18 July 2014 15:11 (nine years ago) link

in Portland, sure! maybe more ilxors in Seattle though...

― sleeve, Friday, 18 July 2014 15:55 (nine years ago) link

Seattlx0rs are the meet-uppiest ilxors.

one month passes...

This is still possible, though the window is closing.

― Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Monday, 1 September 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link

Definitely around for a September meet up - I head back to AL on 9/27 though and might have a weekend free for possible MS or Atlanta shenanigans.

― Jaq, Monday, 1 September 2014 17:36 (nine years ago) link

One insane idea I had was going to Seattle for one of the King Crimson shows. Trip could involve going to the San Jose (Morgan Hill) area to meet up with my boss (travel expense writeoff!) -- she has a ton of small office chores and workflow issues due to being a semi-Luddite with a 12-year-old laptop.

― Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Monday, 1 September 2014 17:50 (nine years ago) link

I'm gonna be in Seattle on and off for a few weeks leading up to then, I guarantee drink-uppening getting organised if you do go

― boney tassel (sic), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 06:59 (nine years ago) link

Welp, looks like this may be off. The work trip is pushed back to next Feb. or March, at least, and my relaxed September is getting busier every hour.

― Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Saturday, 6 September 2014 02:42 (nine years ago) link

Ah well. Spring is nice and maybe you could be here for the EMP pop conference.
