Engadget Seattle Reader Meetup on December 8th?

Ryan and I are going to be in Seattle next month and we thought we'd tentatively schedule an Engadget Reader Meetup for the evening of Thursday, December 8th. We still need to find a venue, so we figured we'd ask if anyone there had the hookup on an all-ages space that could comfortably fit a couple of hundred people. Drop us a line at [e-mail] if you do, thanks!

Thats awesome to hear you're coming to my town! I dont know about your pricing range for fees and all that, but I'd figure any of the old hotels would do. I'll check some sites out.

[Mat @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

hahhaha sweeeeeet

[Brian M @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

I'm not sure of a place because I'm just going to school here (actually a bit South in Tacoma), but I'd definitely attend if you held it!

[Brian @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

What about Tampa or Orlando? you guys seriously need to hit the Central Florida Region!

[biddy @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

The Marriott Seattle Waterfront is a cool place

[Tony Bussert @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

Glad to hear you guys are making it up this way. If you've got time I can arrange for a tour of Microvision, http://www.microvision.com

They make the heads up retinal scanning display. Lots of neat things to come and see. Drop me an email if you are interested.

[Bill Phegley @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

I'll text Bill and Paul to see if they're interested in car pooling. This might be an option for a gadget session > http://www.seattlecenter.com/booking/venue_parent_detail.asp?VE_VenueNum=550

[Andrew Ferguson @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

Can you push it back about a week and two days? I'm not done with finals until the 13th and won't fly back to Seattle until the 14th.

[chuck @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

common, now ya do if right when i'm gonna be out of town. sheesh!

[Devon Shaw @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

Check the Sea-Tac Marriot Hotel by the airport... it plays host to some great conferences of small hundreds.

That being said, I'll definitely be attending. woohoo!

[Loc Nguyen @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

haha good. Now come 10 miles north to Lynnwood and we'll call it a deal =). Too lazy to ride the bus to Seattle.

[Spiderman_00 @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

Sweeet....Im there.

[Matt @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

Sweet... I will soo be there. This is freakin' awesome!

[Mr Weatherbee @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

Yeah - check out the Sea-Tac Marriot - IF YOU WANT TO COMPLETELY AVOID THE CHARM THAT CAN BE FOUND IN SEATTLE!

[Shanghai @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, has a great meeting space. It is centrally located and easy to find. I don't know how much they would charge, but it's worth looking into.

[Jack McLain @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

How about Kell's Irish Pub in Post Alley near the Pike Place Market. Probably a little too small, but I do know the owners, so I could maybe have a word with them. Email me if this is of interest.

[Ben Hou @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

The second the Marriot Waterfront place. Very nice there.

[Andrew Wong @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

The Seattle Public Library would be a great space. It's a great looking building and I think it's got meeting rooms that can host the number of people you are talking about and besides you get free WIFI.

[Steve @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

I second Andrew's suggestion: The Seattle Public Library: http://images.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=Seattle%20Public%20Library&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

The Experience Music Project (EMP) is also a good location.

[Matt Hallett @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

I own the Bellevue Galleria Stadium 11 Movie Theater in Bellevue Washington. If you'd like to do a Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday morning meet up from 8:00a.m. to 12:00p.m. That facility might be available for you. :-)

[BarHopTheWorld @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

I soon as I saw this I thought of kells. It's a perfect spot for a casual meet-up and it and the surrounding area totally embody "seattle." It might be a bit tight but with the restaraunt and the bar open it should be allright. http://www.kellsirish.com/seattle/index.php

[Mattrix @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

Man... If the passes open up and stay clear, If there. Only about 3 hours away from here (Lake Chelan).

[mkelly @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

I want to add to the votes for the Seattle Public Library - it is an incredible space and they do have meeting rooms. Looking forward to your visit!

[audrey @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

Places I'd recommend---Century Ballroom (www.centuryballroom.com), The Showbox, Bell Harbor Int'l Conference Center, Seattle Convention Center (of course--but big and very convention like), any of the big hotels

[Rob @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]
