Karmageddon was the one who gave this location. Though she mentioned that they don't split checks. BRING CASH so you can give it to the central payer.
What we need now is an idea of how many plan to attend so we can make reservations correctly.

What about a brazilian barbecue place?
Options:
Azteca
One vote so far. We need more people!
Why do you guys care who is on what side, I live 50 miles away.
CANT WE ALL GET ALONG.
But seriously. I heard this would happen.
So it sounds like Mexican works.
I may have to model it once we're done.
How serendipitous, all of you would like to attend the venue that I have chosen.
This social gathering shall be cataloged in the annals of Polycount!
Now, FOR THE DATE!
I'd say that weekends or Friday nights would be most do-able for a lot of people.
April 5,6,12,13 ???
Why April? Why not next month.
"Monday - Friday: 11:00am-2:30pm"
EDIT:
The Redmond location might, but it would be a short meetup.
"Friday: 11:00am-9:00pm
Saturday: 11:30am-8:30pm"
Wheres that?

I just want to point out I was hoping to steer us away from adult themed outings. So our younger members can attend and those with families. We only get a narrow selection of our members locally otherwise.
Azteca seems closer to this.
West to East jab: Don't you guys have anything that isn't part of a chain?
We've got the last XXX Rootbeer Drive-In burger joint in the nation (not that kind of XXX). It's a classic car and Americana legend, and the rootbeer really is that good. Also very kid friendly. Just off I90 in Issaquah.
I still cool with Azteca if everybody else is. Family friendly and pretty central.
Is ~20 days enough time to get the word out?
I think so.
Azteca is a huge no for me.
Any place that is a quiet, family, sit-down restaurant is generally not a good choice for drinking + networking + hangout. There is no room to get up and walk around and sit at random tables to talk to people you haven't met yet.
My recommendation is Stellar Pizza in Georgetown. It's only a 15 minute drive from downtown Bellevue, is a much better place for drinking / networking, AND allows people under 21, since it's not a bar. However there are plenty of drinks for people there.
Their pizzas are awesome and they have a few classic arcade games if you're so inclined.

However, please be aware the only do 1 check for parties, and only 1 card for parties. If we decide to do it here, I would strongly recommend coming with $30-$40 cash and just pay it to the 1 person that has to pay for everything.
I encourage people to try to decide in the next 2-3 days, as it's generally a good idea to book something this big at least 2 weeks in advance.
Sounds good to me!
There is sort of a unsaid rule that we switch between east and west. It's easts turn, and there are more than a few who live on the East side who hate having to come to Seattle, and thus wouldn't come at all.
Pretty sure though we need to call them with a party size.
Someone else mentioned Joeys

But Im not sure how the underages would be welcomed.
Olympia Pizza in Seattle is great. The one near dicks.
