Over on nwhikers, the original poster usually just suggests a night and a venue (note necessarily in the OP itself - they may need to be goaded into it), and the fun happens. Is more needed here (other than perhaps Charles agreeing to attend)? If you want me to give it a go, I'll throw out the Red Hook Brewpub in Woodinville, or perhaps better would be the nearby Mcrorry's (sp?) on the Slough which might better accomodate a crowd (since it's terribly convenient for me), and ask Charles for a good evening for it. But those whose visas aren't up to date may not be able to cross over to this side of the lake...
