2. Knew both before joining. I'd be down to meet others if they were in the Orange County/SoCal area.

2, I knew one before joining and the other probably joined because of myself and the first guy.

2 that I didn't already know. Nik and Alternex. :) My spouse works in the same general area as at least one other ATOTer, but hasn't formally met him.

Even if I met one, I'd probably keep my own posting a secret. It's not one of those things you brag about. ;)

I know 2 people on here.

That you already knew or that you met from here?

Already knew. I wish we'd do a Seattle meetup, but my requests fall on deaf ears... or blind eyes. Whatever.

Huh. I'm in Seattle and I know a few ATers in person that I could drag into it. When the weather gets a bit better we could go for it. Where would you want to meet?

Doesn't matter to me. I don't mind driving a distance. I live in Fife so anywhere in Seattle or the surrounding area would be fine.

Bar would be outta the question unless we do it after or on August 23rd, and even then I wouldn't be able to bring aesthetics... so any place but a bar.

Not a big bar fan myself, and I'm kinda cheap so anyplace that costs a significant amount of money (GameWorks, for example) is kinda meh. The scifi museum seems somewhat boringly appropriate...

How about a place I can walk into with dignity? lol

Unless we wait until July and it's sunny for certain, I'm short on ideas. :) We could... picket Microsoft?

Seriously, what kind of ATOTer could you REALLY drag into a Seattle AT meet? It's not like any of us work downtown or live nearby.

I've met one. My twin brother :D

I've wanted to meet some Madison folks while I was up there like Yoyo and the like but the snow kept me and my gf indoors. :(

But hey! I'd love to try again in about 6 months when this semester is over! I'll be back up there again!

Do any of the Seattle ATOTers have dogs? We could meet up at Marymoor. Could also meet up at Gasworks, the Seattle waterfront, South Lake Union, etc., once the weather brightens up.

I have 2 Brittany's. I'd only take one in public though.
