Seattle gathering of Playmofriends
« on: January 06, 2011, 10:26:51 »
Glazz will have his trains at the Seattle Science Center the weekend of Jan 15 - 17 and suggests that if we want to meet on Saturday that we arrange to meet after 1:00 p.m. (He'll still be setting up his display until then.)
I have Saturday off so that would be a good day for me.  I think that Tiermann also is wanting to meet on Saturday.
Who else wants to gather at the train show to see Glazz's trains and talk about Playmobil?

Ok, so I plan on being there. I will drive Friday afternoon because I don't want to miss the fun Seattle work traffic. Music Experience Sci-Fi museum on Saturday morning (they open at 10) - they have a Battlestar Galactica exhibit on. Some sort of lunchy thing, and then the Science Center for the trains at 1. I believe that closes up at 5 PM?  So maybe we can go have dinner or something. I have that gluten issue so I am researching but it looks like there are a couple of food-drink pub type places fairly close to there that would be fine for me, or there's a vegetarian Chinese place. Then on Sunday at 10 I am going to the Seattle Art Museum for a few hours, I have a timed ticket for the Picasso show for 10:40. After that probably lunch then either the Asian Art museum in the afternoon or back to the Science center trains or both or neither. I plan on driving home Sunday evening. I can go late though as I will have the morning off Monday.

Hi

As you well know this being some of the rare west coast mini-conventions we are jealous down south.  :hissyfit:

Rasputin "The Mad Monk"
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

so are we just visiting and discussing trains?  or other PM stuff too?  Should we bring any show-and-tell items ourselves?

Oh, definitely bring stuff!   Especially your avatar.  I think that Glazz will let our avatars go for a ride on the train.  That will be a fun photo.
I don't know if we will have the space to try to bring things to trade since we'll be in a public place.  Any ideas about that?

Dinner sounds like a good idea.  Dragons are always hungry.   ;D

I'm staying at the Travelodge by the Space Needle - so only a couple of blocks away from the event. I could host a little tradefest there if needed.

Sounds great you guys, the show will go on as planned. 

Show hours are 10-6, Saturday, Sunday and Monday as well.  (it will be just as busy all 3 days)

We will see you there.

Tim... it sounds like you are going to have a VERY busy few days in Seattle.    It's very tempting to try to be there early enough to visit the Science Fiction Museum, too, but I know that I'd be exhausted by the end of the day.  I'm going to be realistic and just get there for the train show and dinner afterward.    I'm going to be on ferry, foot, and monorail so I don't think I'm going to carry much with me.  Maybe just MamaDragon and the little bell for BlackPearl. 

Oh, this is going to be fun! :)
