As most folks know, the viking as it is now will be torn down to make way for new condos with some retail space downstairs. I haven't as yet visited the Viking and thought it would be nice to do some with some fellow Ballardites. I could use a rousing night of friends!

Who is in tomorrow and what time can you attend?

phoo - I can't get there tomorrow - housebound with my knee - but hope you enjoy your first (and probably last) drink at the Viking.

Cate: Sorry you are housebound. I hope your knee heals quickly and better than ever. We could always come kidnap you in a wheelchair!

Have to find out if they are airing opening ceremonies. If so, I'm in. But I'm normally in for a beer at the Viking.

It would of been interesting after a few adult beverages to witness North Korea's women's soccer team get introduced yesterday ;)

I would've been pissed-off as well. how the hell do you put the wrong flag on the screen?
these Olympics have been tainted already.

Oops. For some reason I thought today was Friday. Not enough coffee apparently. Dang it. If this is Thursday I'm supposed to be taking the nephew to the EMP. So I'm definitely out for tonight. Sorry.

Well, bummer. Sounds like no one can make it tonight. I was avoiding Friday because I was trying to avoid crowds, but if we go early (5p?), perhaps it won't be so bad!
Thoughts?

alright, Wednesday it is! I don't know for certain I can make it, cause it's the night before the Golden Gardens shindig and I'll have food to prep, but it's close enough I may be able to make it anyway. :)

I'm planning to drop by, but it won't be until around 6:15. How will we know each other? Should I bring a laptop and start conspicuously posting to the forum?

Some already know what both myself and Phoo look like. Is there a tally of how many can make it?

Edog, your hair looks great just as it is. I dare say your sock drawer is sorted well enough too.

I've met Phoo. That should help narrow down which motley crew I'm looking for.

teigyr, I will have a camera with me.

dsomers: So sorry we missed you! Nora showed up at 5:30. Remember how I said I'd try to show up but I would be prepping for Golden Gardens? Well, I was at the store and got all caught up in things and didn't notice the time til 6pm. GAM and SmartsyArtsy showed up after that. We were totally sorry we missed you.

Sorry to have missed you, dsomers. Another time. Sorry I missed anyone else who didn't show up, as well. Edog, how's your hair? Don't forget conditioner.

For those that were there, the geography answer is "Point Roberts". Not on Vancouver Island at all, as it happens.

Well, I did manage to catch a couple of you folks! NWWhippet! Buffalohawk, Corvus! Was fun to see you. Sorry I missed the rest of the folks that showed up a bit later. I still had to get down to the boat to do some stuff and then back to West Seattle so I couldnt hang around too long. Next time!

Corvus, pop me an email when you have a chance at d underscore somers at that email system with hot in its name.

And 1der! Were you pulling our leg about trying to make it???? <grin> seriously...hope I can catch you at a bar at some point! And the rest of you folks too.

Fairly sure I wont be able to get to the picnic this afternoon. Hope you folks have a great time!! Will be thinking of you....or....pedaling like a madman if it turns out I can get over there for a while.

Cate!! How is the knee doing?
