Thread: 4th Annual Fall Pacific Northwest Rendezvous !!!

Where and when in Spokane? I've never gone but would like to. Agenda? Address? Times? Recommended motels? Thank you.

Looks like Robert and I’m in! He’s planning on coming to my place Friday, and then we can hang out here on Saturday and catch up then head up on Sunday! I’ve requested the 27th, 28th and 29th off! Unless I get sideswiped at work it should work!

I’m presuming it will start at noon on the 29th at Susi.com.

I’m really looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!

Let the fun begin!

Will make the reservations tomorrow

12 noon at Sushi.com Sunday Sept 29th

Did some poking around and booked a room at the Fairbridge Inn Express Looked fairly nice, booked it for two nights on hotels.com for $60 a night.

Sushi.com 9-29-13 I'm in.

90% certain I'm there and trying to talk Gerrit into coming along as well. Will just be doing an up/back this time but in the past I've stayed at the Rodeway Inn downtown which is corner across the street from the Davenport (... head thrown back/nose in the air and pronounced "Dahvenpohrt", Dahling...). ;-) The Rodeway is super cheap at like $45/night and has free, off-street parking. It is "Dive-ish" but has mini-frig/microwave and a nice late 70's/early 80's décor. It was just a place to crash but it was darn cheap and it was clean enough/safe enough for my tastes and was easily walking distance to a LOT of downtown dining and night-life. So, depending on your tastes, it is a perfectly fine hotel if you are just looking to crash.

I'll be driving my truck so have a couple spots in the back seat (4-door Ram 1500) if someone is not too leggy or is flexible and wants to come with. PM me if interested. Probably around 8am leaving Yakima and will be passing through Ellensburg, Moses Lake, etc on the way up/back.

If I could only teleport myself there I'd be there.

'Means 6hr drive back from Spokane to be at work next day. Either leave the meet at 2-3pm or arrive home late. Sorta knocks me out of the running.

For anyone that is not able to make it to Spokane this year... Any ideas on a general location for next year if a change is possible? I've been to Portland a bunch but never with the intention of paying close enough attention to where a get-together could be held... Lots of Hotels in areas like Hood River, OR that might hook us up with a Conference Room and same with Goldendale, WA.

If we start talking about it and throwing ideas around that might be a way to flip-flop it every other year doing once in Spokane to catch the NE corner of WA and then somewhere else the following year to catch the SW corner of WA or North Central OR.

Once I get enough information to kind of head in a direction I can start another Thread with a Poll or some such and try to get as much information filtered as possible.


And, ride is still open from Yakima and back if anybody can get this far.

As far as future meets, my only concerns would NOT being farther East, as much heads up as possible (requesting time off of work) and maybe SWMBO friendly... antique, "decorative" stores and what not...... If there is anything that needs to be done, I will help if needed.
