It is the morning after we went to the Norwescon parties. While we were in the same hotel as Norwescon, we did not attend the con. There really is no point to it. Plus, at the heinous cost, it was not worth it to attend it properly. Instead we crashed the parties, drank in the bar, and hung out with people we know, people we haven't seen in ages and people we might like to get to know better. Plus there were attractive women in PVC, which always makes things better.
Now unfortunately, Norwescon is held in Seatac, which is not Seattle, so all of our drinking was wasted (except for having a good time, I suppose.) We drove up via 99 but there just are not any bars on 99 between downtown and Seatac.
The next day, Jason, Sean, Shanda, Red and I went to the Ballard Denny's for brunch. Now I have to say that the Ballard Denny's is on our list. They have a separate bar area and serve drinks to the main seating establishment. As such we were able to get food and knock more place off of our list. The meal was typical, and our waiter was nice, if a bit high strung and over worked.
Oh, and big ups to Wolf for completing his 40 days of non-drinking Lent successfully and then refusing a free drink because it was 2 in the afternoon. I guess we all have to have our limits.
I will say that when I dropping Jason off at home later that night, we did consider hitting one more Ballard bar, but decided against it. Are we growing soft after less than a week? God I hope not :)
