Vassago, TheGodZero and I think there are enough Polycounters on the eastside to organize a meet-up.

This place comes highly reccomended by one of my co-workers. Let's say Oct 9th Thursday at 7:30pm or 8:00pm?
Let's use this spot on the boards to talk about the details. Ofcourse non-eastsiders are welcome

it was by far the worst mexican food I'd ever had in my life
(though I'm still down to meet up with some polycounters)
As for the place, never been there but as long as i can get a good margarita and an enchilada i'll be good.
gay
but for serious...why not meet in seattle proper?
Only because we (or maybe just me) want to meet and not battle 520 bridge traffic yet still meet at a decent hour.
Most of the game companies are on this side already.
Like I said... everyone is totally welcome.

Sure thing mang!
And Diminished Self, quit hatin on the east side, we got more game studios and some damn good restaurants. No place is more yuppy than Belltown, and it's not like the douchey emo hipsters on Capitol Hill are any better. I don't get this East Side-West Side hate, both sides have their own greatness.
Unfortunately, I'm back in Indiana building a house.
I need to edit my profile to reflect the new location sometime when I'm not feeling lazy.
I'll post an updated picture of me monday/tuesday so that you can have some clue of who one of us looks like. It might not be such a bad idea to post one up of yourself as well....
ok.
ahhh...im not hating on the east side for real. i just happen to live in seattle proper, and ride a motorcycle which ive since put away for the winter. you think coming this way is bad? shit son try going that way on a bus!
ill concede the point that no place is more yuppie than belltown...with the caveat that on any given night 90% of the yuppies that infest that place are from somewhere else (not seattle).
"douchey emo hipsters"? seriously? jesus dude did you get molested on the hill or something? im up there 3-5 times a week to see live music and yeah, there are some douchebags on the hill but im willing to bet that there just as many douchebags in bellevue. and nothing is worse than a rich prick douchebag.
hehe What about a horny drunk clown with a 3 foot dildo riding a unicycle asking you if want some magic candy?
Jesus, I'm never going to Kirkland. :poly121:
Naw man I know you weren't really hating on the east side, I just went off on a tangent of my own because I know a lot of people who really do feel that way, even a few on polycount. The point I was trying to make about douchey emo hipsters is every area has douches in their own way, whether they be douchey yuppies, hipsters, rednecks, frat boys, etc. Again it wasn't meant as defensive towards your joking comments but just more asking if people understood why there's a bit of animosity between the two sides of the lake. It's deep seated and it's been around for decades so I was just curious why.
Anyways, this is me recently, sporting the green pride;
Here is a picture of me from this weekend trying out my halloween costume.
And no i will not being in a suit on Thursday.
Sitting outside the Wing Dome getting surly.

Where:
El Toreador
7845 Leary Way
Redmond, WA 98052
When:
Oct 9th Thursday at 7:30pm
Why:
Cuz TheGodZero and Vassago keep fucking pestering me cuz I said once "hey, wouldn't it be cool to meet up one time?"
Feel free to pay Ross to tackle me at work tomorrow. Sorry all, seriously not feeling well at the moment.
Though some were missing. I'm currently shaking my fist at ferg, fogman and Vassago. You flakers! haha, I'm sure another one is in the works soon, so you'll have to come next time.
Vassago, hope you feel better man.
I had a great time, hopefully next time we can get a few more people. Might help to be on a weekend for next time.
I can do weekends sometimes, but mostly I goto Portland to see my girl, or she comes here. But it's possible I could squeeze in a weekend meet here or there.

Again sorry guys, wasn't feeling good at all (still not feeling well for the weekend..boo).
A Friday or Saturday night east-side hookup sometime I'd be totally down for. Gives me more time for tequila!
oh... I'm down for some takillya shots.. muahaha
And on Wednesday night went to Showbox at the market to see Cut Copy so that left me pretty exhausted yesterday (damn these "all age" crowds can go out of control even without the booze!). But it was [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNU-6NkVfrE"]fun[/ame]! I hope next time the meet up will be on this side
