As announced previously, the first STB meetup for several months will occur Wednesday, February 25 at 6 pm. It will be in a private room at the Ocean City Restaurant in Seattle’s International District, at 609 S Weller St.
Why the private room? We’re planning to have senior representatives from Sound Transit, King County, and the City of Seattle there, and hope to have some combination of short remarks and Q&A with them. The plan is to have “cocktail hour” begin at 6pm and have the program begin at 7.
The down side of the private room is that we need to guarantee numbers to the restaurant. As a result, we’re charging $5 per head and requiring pre-registration, the proceeds from which will all be spent on appetizers for the group. We’ll get a mix of vegetarian and non-veg stuff. The objective is to make sure people show up, not to make a profit.
If you’re planning to come, please send us an email at seattletransitblog@gmail.com (Subject: Meet-up). You may click the paypal button below; if you don’t want to use paypal, ask for a snail mail address in the email in order to send us a check. The deadline for registration is Saturday, February 21, 10 pm.
Speculation and questions about who the guests are will be ignored by people in the know, partly because we might have to make some last-minute substitutions.
See you there.
So I can’t come if I don’t give $5? What if I don’t know ahead of time if I can make it?

What do you think all the $5’s are gonna buy?
Is this one gonna be OK for we under-21’s?
This will be okay for all ages.
Er, better put, this will be an all-ages event. please come, under-21s, you’re welcome!
Even though I work in the ID, I won’t be able to make this one…
