Both 2011 TAFF winner John Coxon, and 2011 DUFF winner Dave Cake, should be in attendance at this month's Fans with Beers event. A finer pair of dudes you couldn't hope to meet. If you plan to be in Seattle this Sunday and want to meet them, or just generally hang out, drink beer, and chat with SF fans, please feel welcome and encouraged to join us:

What: Seattle Second Sunday Pub Meet
Where: The Pig N Whistle, Greenwood
8412 Greenwood Ave N
Seattle, WA 98103
Pub: (206) 782-6044
When: Sunday, August 14
4:00 pm - 6:30 pm or later

The same old pub meet in a new decade. Queue arguments about whether this is a new decade or not, but whatever your opinion on that, the Seattle Tun ("Fans with Beers") pub meet is still on, as usual.

This is an open pubmeet for Seattle Area SF/F fans, their friends, groupies, and fannish visitors, who like to socialize, talk, argue, gossip, and drink beer with like-minded fen. If you expect to be in Seattle and would enjoy a bit of beer-lubricated conversation on a wide range of topics, only one of which is SF, please feel free to join in. You can usually spot us by our Sensitive Fannish Faces.

Where: The Pub @ Third Place, Ravenna
6504 20th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA 98115
Pub: (206) 523-0217
When: Sunday, January 10, 2010
4:30 pm - 6:30 pm or later

And just think, in October the pub meet will be on 10/10/10.

Yes, it is second Sunday today, but I've been laid out fairly flat with flu since Tuesday night, so hopefully you local and quasi-local fans were tracking that on your own. Anyway, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel, and like that. Not sure if I'll be there myself -- caucusing yesterday took what little wind I had right out of my sails -- but presumably Hal will show the flag if I stay home.

If you have good-quality used book bags/reusable grocery bags to donate to Potlatch's recycling efforts, please bring them and pass them on to Marci or, failing that, Jerry and Suzle.

And here's the boilerplate:

The Seattle Tun, a Second Sunday collation of fans with beers, is an open pubmeet for Seattle Area science fiction fans who like to socialize, talk, argue, gossip, and drink beer with like-minded fen. If you expect to be in Seattle and would enjoy a bit of beer-lubricated conversation on a wide range of topics, only some of which include Sinus Friction, please feel free to join in.

Where: The Pub @ Third Place, Ravenna
6504 20th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA 98115
Pub: (206) 523-0217
When: Sunday, February 10
4:30 pm - 6:30 pm or later

The Pub is open 3-10pm on Sundays; NB that the bookstore upstairs
closes at 7:00 pm so if you need to do a bit of print-oriented
holiday shopping, or want to exit by way the bookstore door, you
need to do it before then. Otherwise it's just a quick nip 'round
the block from the pub door to the parking lot.

Fans with Beers, the Seattle fannish pub meet and Tun of the Ton, continues at the Third Place Pub, praised for being woody, cozy, and full of games. Also, the beer is sold at happy hour prices, if you care for such things.

Where: The Pub @ Third Place, Ravenna

When: Sunday, February 11
4:30 pm - 6:30 pm or later

The Pub is open 3-10pm on Sundays; NB that the bookstore upstairs closes at 7:00 pm so if you need a book fix, or want to exit by the bookstore parking lot door, you need to do it before then. Otherwise it's just a quick nip 'round the block from the pub door to the parking lot.

Hope to see you there!
