Final decision on 9/30 meetup!
OK, I've emerged from my High Holiday fog... and we're going to finalize this meetup TODAY so I can promote it in other groups! I'm starting to think either Westlake or Capitol Hill stops -- what if we went with 5 pm at either Annapurna... or just to the Nordstrom Grill? Nobody's ever in there in the evenings - I've eaten there before shows more than once and there is no problem getting a table, and the food is good. For Annapurna (or almost any other restaurant but Nordstrom) we will need a headcount and to try to reserve a table! We could do 6 or 7 pm at most restaurants, but Nordstrom closes at 7. PS - If we do Westlake there are many options so we could always shift on the fly if something goes awry. Please weigh in NOW so we can lock and load!

Which stop is Nordstrom Grill close to? I *do* have a deadline that I just accepted for a project on the 30th; I'll know how I'm doing on that deadline as we get closer, but at the moment, I still expect to be able to attend if others will be there, too!
Vote on time for 9/30 event!
OK, we've said Wed. 9/30, we've said somewhere in downtown Seattle. Let's nail the TIME, so I can start promoting this on Skoolers! I'm willing to do any of these, but leaning toward 7-9 myself, so we can think just drinks and snacks rather than having to figure out full-on dinner. But we could do separate checks maybe? Or maybe 4-6 and people who want could stay on and order more food? Weigh in now please! I'll decide when I get back from family camp, so leaving this open until 9/8. Then we move on to venue choice.

Problem with these polls is that they don't let you choose multiple options if you're fine with more than one. Fact is, I'm fine with all of them, but I suspect later will be easier for most, since it is a traditional workday.
POLL: Date & time for next meetup
Hi Seattle Skool peeps! I want to get another meeting on the calendar, maybe mid-September or so? Give me your best option in the poll and feel free to comment with other dates that would work for you. I also want to note that I think we could network with other entrepreneurs in Seattle who might NOT be on Skool (YET). So feel free to bring an entrepreneur friend to any event I host! I was hearing Wednesday or Thursday are good days for folks, so working with that. Suggesting a few venues here but I am WIDE OPEN for suggestions on good places to meet up. My ideas tend to be North Seattle because that's my stomping grounds, but we could totally go downtown. These are specific dates I definitely have available, but have some flexibility on those, too. Weigh in and let me know what would be the most fun! Also - we could have a presenter? Want to have a working session where we all implement something? Bring you ideas! @Goose Dunlavey - any of these dates/times work with your Skoolie tour?

Either September date works for me; I'm out of town for the rest of August. For locations, if parking is easy like it was at Skillet & Vine, I'm totally on board, *or* if it's conveniently within walking distance of the light rail, I'm on board for those venues as well. :-)
Great meetup yesterday!
Wow, it was cool to meet up with other Skoolers at Skillet & Vine near the Arboretum! Great meeting @Allan R. @Aaron Jokela & @Lori Lopez -- despite all the noise from the Blue Angels airshow. We planned an hour and went longer in a wide-ranging convo about Skool strategies, what makes a community a must-join, family life and work/life juggling... and so much more. Expect a poll shortly on what/when/where we will meet next. And... in the meanwhile, recruit more Seattle peers into this group! I know there must be MANY more Seattleites on Skool.
Great meetup yesterday!

It was a total joy meeting all of you there! And we couldn't have asked for better timing -- the weather was perfect for sitting outside, we missed the lunch rush and were able to simply enjoy the afternoon without being hurried. Thanks @Carol Tice, @Aaron Jokela, and @Lori Lopez for spending some time together and not simply staring at a screen. The real world can be pretty cool, too. :-)
T-minus 2.5 hours to meetup!
I'm excited @Allan R. ! We're doing a cat sit in Madrona and I believe I can just WALK to this... If anybody who shows up would like to know what they could sell their Skool for to a buyer, I can give you a good idea -- free estimates today at Skillet & Vine near the UW Arboretum!

See you there! I'm driving over from the Eastside, so you may beat me there. Cheers!
