The news from Shannon:
Hi Captain and Co!
We in the rainy city are looking to have a meetup on 11/14 from 11am-1pm at Cafe Mox in Ballard. The menu has many options, including vegetarian and vegan, it’s accessible, and it has a bunch of board games and fun things!
Website: http://www.moxboardinghouse.com/ballard/#restaurant
I will aim to either arrive at the cafe early to get some spots or, depending on the interest, call ahead and reserve some space. I’ll also have neon green signs on the table saying “Capt. Awkward Meetup” and I’ll get sticker nametags for people to use if they wish.
I know this is a bit last minute, but I’d love to have this featured on the main Capt. Awkward blog, and it’s also been discussed at the Capt. Awkward forums.
Best wishes,
Shannon from Seattle
Have a good time.
If anyone ever wants to do one in Portland, that would be cool.
I nominate you. 🙂
*falls on knees and flings arms to the sky with fists* NOOOO! Why is this the first I’m hearing of a Seattle meetup? And why is it the one day in all the days in the next three months that I am out of town!?!
Is there somewhere I should be paying attention to to get the lowdown on future Seattle meetups?

More seriously, I might be able to make it out but don’t save me a seat, Shannon. I’ve had to adult for the last few weekend, and I might just play hermit the whole weekend to recharge for the upcoming holiday.
Adult likeep a champ and of you can make it we’d love to have you!
*like….oh autocorrect
I have lurked for YEARS… and I’m totally free that weekend. I will be there, unless I get bad news from the mechanic tonight!
If the mechanic leaves you stranded and you need a ride, talk to me?
Drat–I would normally love to come (Cafe Mox is great!), but I’m going to be out of town on Saturday. I’ll keep my eye open for other gatherings. Thanks for doing this!
I would love to come! I was feeling sad that I can’t go to London Awkward group anymore. I am delurking for the occasion!
Shannon here – I’m really excited for this! If you’re planning on coming try to post either here or at the forums so can get an approx headcount.
Also if you have coloring supplies or your own fun games, bring ’em! 🙂
Yay so glad that there’s gonna be a meetup I can attend! Although I am mostly a lurker around the site, I am in for Saturday.
I should be able to come, assuming my body doesn’t start acting up. Also, yay for delurking.
Hooray, a meetup in a place/time I can do!! Thank you so much, Shannon!
I’ll be there. Possibly even literally with bells on. 😀
Thank you again for organizing this, Shannon.
