There was a time not long ago where I was fairly convinced I'd try to keep my identity a secret. But over the course of the past two years, I've met about five of you for various reasons, most of which had nothing to do with Lookout Landing, and thus far it has been a pleasant experience. So hey, maybe it's time to expand those numbers.

I suggest a gathering at Dantes (5300 Roosevelt Way NE Seattle WA) Saturday, 1/30 at ~8:30 PM.

Why Dantes? Because it is walking distance from my place and I'm selfish. Also, by making it a place for those over the age of 21, we can weed out the undesirables (kidding, HUGS - Actually I just know I'll need a Mac and Jacks and I heart pool).

Why 8:30? My thought was that it would be easier to gather before the bar gets busy. I will probably stay there until closing, so those that want to come later should feel free, but meeting earlier makes some sense. I also rock at both pool and air hockey, so bring quarters if you've had too much self esteem recently and would like it taken down a notch.

You should come if you are:

• Awesome
• Not lame
• Available

You should not come if you are one of:

• Not awesome
• Lame
• Unavailable

Suggestions for alternate dates are welcome, but 1/30 seems like a good time date for now. Thoughts?
