Augh! Put me on there too! *sends Scott an email*
Shan, I will do my utmost to be at your place by 11am. I'll try to get there early enough to help you pack lunch. (And I'll bring my brownies for the gang.)

This Friday! I'll work from home until you get to me, we'll zip over to basketball camp and grab up Nathan, and then we'll hit the road. And pray for decent traffic, so we can meet all the folks at the fountain in the Seattle Center for picnic lunch, and then check out the Pacific Science Center, and all other manner of fun thing!
Sound good?
Jon - do you want a sandwhich, too? Tuna fish or PBJ, folks?
Cecily - let me e-mail driving directions when I get home tonight - that way you'll get road signs and freeway exits rather than local yokel landmarks and vague gestures . . . *grin*

Sure, Shan! Tuna fish would be great! And I'll bring some fruit and some soy milk (because it doesn't need refrigeration 'til you open it).
Romany, I'm guessing that with lunchtime traffic, picking Nathan up and parking we can expect to see them more about 1 or 1:30. I just don't want you to sit around waiting for longer than you have to. If you have a cellphone, it might be a good idea to exchange numbers with them. Posts: 1423 | Registered: Sep 2003

Good thinking, Jon - and tuna fish it is! Got your cel# romany! Between 1-1:30 at the fountain! Yay! Summer fun! I'm so excited. Cecily - I'm e-mailing directions right now. However, I have not joined modern day society and don't have a cel# so if you do, would you be okay with sharing with romany?

I haven't heard anything from Scott, poor guy. If he sees this, he can email his phone number to me at cecilyjeanne at hotmail dot com. (If he has a phone with him.) Shan and I can check before we leave her house tomorrow morning. In fact, I'll email my number to him right now just in case he can call.
If not, we'll just hope to run into him somehow. I can't wait to see you all! Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000

I'm going to try to be there. It would be way fun, and I haven't been to the SciFi museum yet.

Scott, how was the ceremony? Did you win anything?
We're sorry we couldn't stay, but we didn't think cute Nathan would make it through the whole thing. We're so proud of you though and it was great to meet you! Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000

Scott, it was great to meet you, too. Sorry you didn't have more time to hang out! Your writers of the future gathering looked like a huge, fancy deal and I'm glad you got to be part of such a prestigious event!
We waited around but didn't run into jeniwren.
Shan, Nathan, Narnia, and romany: it was great fun to hang out with all of you! Let me know next time you're in Seattle and want to do something! Nathan, you were very entertaining and thanks for putting up with us. romany, your kids are awesome and tons of fun!

I had a really great time yesterday. I definitely need to hang out in Seattle more often, it's such a cool place. Some of my pictures really stink, but I'm going to put them in the album anyway just for posterity's sake.
I arrived at Shan's place at about 11:00am. We made sandwiches for our picnic and headed off to get Nathan from Basketball camp. Shan lives in a lovely little nook just outside of Olympia and it was really neat to see the area.
After that, we headed up to Seattle where we would meet romanylass and her kids at the awesome fountain in the middle of the Seattle Center. We arrived at about 1:30 and soon found romany and her cute (and wet) kids. They were so social and easy to get along with, we had a great time eating lunch and talking. Much fun was had by all.
Soon after, Jon showed up and helped us eat some more food. We watched the four warriors sword fight some more (romany has good pictures of that) and then set off for the Science Center.
After that, Jon, Shan and I said goodbye to romany and her kids (with much waving and shouting 'Bye!! Bye! BYE!!!'). We then headed back into the museum for a while. After that, there was dinner, a brief roller coaster ride, and ice cream.
We then set off to find Scott R and eventually met him. He was all dressed up for his awards ceremony and (dang it all) I only got one, really bad picture. (It looks like Jon and Scott are fading into another dimension. Sorry!) But we were glad to see Scott, even though we couldn't stay for the ceremony. Just seeing how fancy the event was made us proud to know him. I hope you make it home safe Scott!! We didn't get to see Slash or jeniwren ( ), so we hope we didn't miss them.
After that, Shan and I dropped Jon off at his house in the U district and then set off for Olympia. Good girl talk ensued but we went to sleep as soon as we got home. We were tired! This morning was berry tea and then I was off! Shan is a sweet and wonderful hostess and Nathan is a great kid.
It was so fun to see all of you...it actually strengthened my resolve to see you more than once a year. You definitely won't have to twist my arm too hard to get me back up there again.
If you want me to add pictures that you have, go ahead and email them to me. I should probably email these to ludosti so she can get them up on foobonic.

PS The other pictures in the album are of Shigosei and I when we met last week in Portland. Her cute parents came along and we had ice cream.

What Narnia neglects to say is what a splendid house guest she is . . . she made her bed before she left this morning! Amazing!
It was delightful reconnecting with Jon and Cecily, and delightful to meet Jenna and her three wonderful children!
Scott - I hope you survived your awards ceremony! It sure looked exciting.
Nathan agreed this morning that he had a good time, particularly playing with Jenna's children and the roller coaster ride with Cecily, and clocking ball throwing speed with Jon. Hands-on science museums are such fun!

I had so much fun meeting John, Shan and Cecily. They are all wonderful. John is so patient.... I think he carried Livvie almost the whole time. The boys keep talking about Nathan!
Cecily, those pictures are wonderful! I'll try to get some up later in the week.
