Pacific Northwest Get together

I'm late getting in on this thread...

I'm in Kingston (accross the Sound from Seattle). Right now I'm too busy prepping for the Gig Harbor Ren Faire (horse stuff) to get away to any distant meetups, however... On the July 22nd, a Saturday (two weeks from yesterday) I'll be dancing at Port Gamble from noon to 3:00 (four shows). We set up a little "gypsy" camp and entertain the passersby. For those who don't know, Port Gamble is a late 19th century Mill Town and a very cool place:

Come on by and say "hi"! Better yet, come and hang with us!

Im in Marysville, its about 45min north of seattle

Wow. Kingston. Haven't been there in quite some time Have a lot of friends as well as family on that edge of the sound. Went to North Kitsap High School myself.

Living in Seattle currently, but this meetup sounds like a great idea!

Really wanna meet sometime?? I'm up for it if you are.

It's actually quite shocking to find out just how many people - in my case in the seattle area - are in second life (and doing well!)

Meetups in the region are fairly common, seems the social spirit is alive and well from BC on down to Northern CA.

Meetups when planned well are fantastic It's the random ones that tend to cause problems

We tend to hold our gatherings at well travelled times - ie New Years - Seafair - Tri Cities Cup - and of course Norwescon. Always easier than doing Hey let's meeet at some restaurant 100 miles away! etc etc etc.

In any case, good luck!

I'm in the Portland area... I think it would be fun to meet up...

Calling all Seattle or PCNW SL players. We are gathering critical mass at

Add your voice and we'll pull the trigger on this one!

I thought my tail was burning! Or was that my ears? hehe

Three of us have decided to get this thing started. We are holding the founding member meeting of Second Life In Seattle on August 8th at 7pm. Location is still TBD. If you want to attend, join our meetup group @ http://www.meetup.com

Woohoo! Thanks for doing this! Can't wait to me you all

Seattle unfortunately a bit too far up for me, but let me know either in a Private Message here or in-game if people are interested in Portland or Eugene

I'll always be interested in one put together somewhere near those two cities for sure

I'm organizing an art show for Bumbershoot Arts festival in Seattle and it could end up being a get-together (of sorts) for Pacific NW SL users. The festival opens Fri Sept 1 and runs Sept 2, 3 and 4.

The show will include new virtual art projects made on an island called Sudo. It's supported by Bumbershoot Visual Arts and (in part) by the Frye Art Museum.

I'm looking for people to use SL in the exhibition space to show RL visitors the virtual projects on Sudo. There will be 3 computers and their screens will be projected onto three 7 x 10 foot rear projection screens showing the island from the point of view of your avatar -- or an alt avatar. Some understanding of contemporary art is great, but you don't have to lecture or anything. I'd like to have people that are comfortable having casual conversations about the project or basic issues regarding SL if people do ask you questions. However, it's up to you to select what questions you want to answer.

Some of the show will als be paintings, drawing and photos done by artists responding to SL.

I can give tickets to Bumbershoot Music festival in exchange for your participation. If you are interested please IM me and I can send you more info about the show.

You can see a little more info about the show here. sl-art-news.blogspot.com Look for the headlines that includes Bumbershoot & Frye Art Museum.

N of Bellingham here! Glad to find more people from my area.

Subscribing. Pick a place near an airport!

Would love to meet up! North of Seattle in Bothell. In game names is Scot Wigner Look me up sometime - send me an IM aand if you meet again in the future count me in.

Scot

Yeap it is very over-rated and disturbing neighborhood.
I am long time resident of Belltown, I am not sure if its worse now when it was just drug addicts and artist here or when the gangbangers, gentrification happen.
Just saying hi

I see that the majority of the posts here are at least 6 months old, but I thought I'd jump in.

I can't travel, but if anything does ever come of a Eugene area meet up, I'll attend. I liked the idea of Gateway Mall. All public and stuff

I'm always up for a Eugene meet up Odds are Frogg and I could even play a live show if it was close by. I live in Eugene and work in Springfield.

I am in spokane

Wow

The planning for this one has been going on for a long time.

Sounds great to me tho, waves from Seattle.

The Great Atomic City, Richland, Tri-Cities Washington. Would be great to meet other Seconds! I only see one other Dry Lander here!

seattle here...a bit to far....

Maybe we should do both a Oregon, and Washington one, people who can make both make both, for me it is always easier to go north than south. so both Portland and Seattle are easy but Eugene is not as easy. A more central to the valley (sorry to those who are in Oregon and not in the valley) is Salem. No not a major city but still a ok place to meet. Also there are various types of cons in the NW that people could do a meet up at. sakuracon in April, Kumoricon in September, orycon in November, and I don't know when rainfurist is going to be but there is that as well. think inside/outside/around the box.

I'm in West Portland (on Burnside; technically I'm in SW by about eighty feet), and am willing to travel to Seattle if necessary for a big meet (family to stay with up there). If anybody is reading this thread and taking names, count me in as a "yes plus two" for any event. IM me inworld!

And may I suggest the Roxy diner near Powell's for a meet location?

Awww c'mon FD... Belltown is a trip. Now, I live on Whidbey... Ain't nuthin' happening here ceptin' the great lumber rape.

FYI, there is a SL group "Portland Oregon SL Community" to support networking for those living or thinking of moving to the Portland metro area. The group is currently set up so that members can broadcast messages to the gorup.
