south point passage is not so good for fire. you've got a clear line of sight to it from the uw police department.

Georgetown options
1) The local kids call it anarchy point. It's really called Gateway Park North. Unfortunately the homeless dude seems to have moved on, but it's at the end of road, on the river, in an industrial area. Don't know if a ride's been here before or not, but it's one of my favorite places to go outside and drink in the hood.
2) Industry Lounge in Georgetown is easy to miss, so there's space and a crazy internet jukebox, waiting to be ruined. Found about it a week or two ago on advice from fellow binge drinkers as a hideaway.
3) My first thought is bikes on the bull run on the tracks. This is a fucking terrible idea and I take it back. I want none of your deaths on my conscience.
Living almost downtown I approve of either. My approval is all that matters. Carry on.

We should just appease both parties and stay in the middle!

Don't do this very often, but am going to have to catch up. I have a pile of your numbers. Keep your phones handy.

so... where's the prefunk? Can someone please text me, I won't be in front of an interwebs terminal for much longer.
I vaguely remember being able to go through a hallway to a back outdoor seating area I might be wrong but Yelp also says they have outdoor seating.
EDIT: Research has confirmed there is a courtyard. Research = people mentioning it in reviews.

btw, I always find this place by going in the door with the overhang on 1st that says Mira. go down the stairs and to your right. bar is in the back, courtyard entrance is next to the soda cooler in the restaurant area.
I seriously hope that
1. You actually go take out the hornets nest for the "stupid" bike challenge.
2. If you do, someone takes video.
For the record, my stupid bike challenge was going to be bike tug of war. Tie two bikes together at the top tube/seat tube junction using like ten feet of rope and a couple of bowlines. Two well sauced riders mount each bike, and on the count of three, attempt to pull the other bike backwards across the line.
Absolutely nothing could go wrong.
But the hornets nest stomping was a much better idea.

Note to self:
Do not convince people to ride who do not really want to ride.
When they get fed up and want to go home you will feel obligated to get them home.
Then you will eat your safeway deli food sober and at home.

Matthew, I think Whiplash is more what you'd want. Ropes tied to people, not bikes, plus a selection of old tubes in between for sproingyness.

I don't believe that your hangover omelette looked that good.

Minus chives and tomatoes, plus mushrooms, olives and a lot more cheddar. It was pretty tasty and not scary like a Beth's omelet. Also the Ebb and Tide room has Karaoke, I wonder if we bring our own PJ if they will let us sing.

At the 1st Ave S bridge on the way to G-Town Ethan and I pulled off to go to WSEA. Moonlite ride through W.Marginal way, collapse sweaty and mostly drunk ~midnight.
Woke up at 6am, had bourbon and coffee at the ABR tent. Escorted the missus and her coworker north and hit four more BTWD stations; got a bunch of water bottles, cliff bars, bananas and a sweet pair of SmartWool socks. Rolled into work 5min late dirty, hungover, exhausted and smelly.
Happy Friday! Anyone else going to the BTWD afterparty in Ballard? Beer garden!

you missed the conversation where we all agreed that the box of wine was a big bag of headache waiting to happen.
