My Seattle Skoolpeeps! Welcome to 2026! Let us carve some time out of our busy schedules to meet-up in person and share a tale or two over food and drinks! I will once again suggest we meet-up at Skillet & Vine in Seattle, but when, dear friends, when? Below, I'm posting some options. Which date would you most likely be able to make? Cheers!

Please post here by 11am if you're interested in meeting up at noon. Meeting will be in Seattle or Redmond, depending upon who comments below. I hope to see some of you soon! @Abhishek Joshi @Paul Freeman -- Either of you still interested? :-)

Hi, everyone! Who's up for an IRL Meet-up on Saturday, December 20th? I'm thinking late lunchtime, like around 12pm-3pm. If you're interested, please comment with an "I am!" below. If you'd be interested in a December meet-up, but not on that day or not at that time, please post your preferences below. Regardless of what day or time-of-day works for you, please let me know which geographic area works best for you in this poll (or add your own options in the comments). No cover charge for this one. I'll be choosing a family-friendly pub, so you can purchase food and beverages there. First round of appetizers will be my treat. Cheers!

Hi everyone! 🎉 T-minus 22 days until the IRL event — it’s coming up fast! ⛵️✨ I got a great question from @Ryan McArthur: Which hotel are you planning on staying at? If we’re all in the same area, it could make for some bonus networking after the event wraps up each day. Maybe even an impromptu hangout or two. 👀🥂 Drop the name of your hotel below so we can see who’s nearby!
