Roger,

Please put me down for the brewery dinner and a ride if there is room. I will drive to the hotel but prefer not to drive the excursion. Looking forward to the dinner, Sam's talk (WOW ) and the funship. See you all there.

Marty, the Root Beer is on me.

Pardon my ignorance but who is Sam Landsman and where is this Brewery. I may or may not make it down for the show but if I do would be fun to meet some of you.

 

[Salmon Fisher]

Please put us down for dinner for 2 at the brewery. We also would appreciate a ride to the festivities at the brewery.

Thank you.

Jay - Sam Landsman is a C-Brat who went from Seattle to Alaska last year in his 22 and then this year circumnavigated Vancouver Island in his 22. See http://www.samlandsman.com/ for more details or this thread and this thread on the C-Brats for more info.

The brewery is Snoqaulmie Falls Brewery and Taproom. The brewery was started by Pat Anderson(Daydream), David McKibben (Anna Leigh). It's located at 8032 Falls Ave SE

Hi Roger, I noticed that the google doc had not been updated.
Looking forward to the evening event.
What time will people be leaving the hotel?

I have discovered that the Sidney Anacortes ferry does not run in winter
( International service to and from Sidney, British Columbia, does not sail on any day of the week during the winter schedule. Sidney service will resume on Sunday, April 6, 2014.), so I will be taking the 1 PM BC ferry, which should get me to the Silver cloud around 5 PM.

Not yet - I'll get to that sometime later today.

Around 4:20-ish. Once I have a clear idea of how many need rides and take care of that booking, I may be able to hang around the hotel and take a couple stragglers to the brewery.

Will you be bringing a car over on the ferry? If so, it might be better to drive straight to the brewery.

It looks to me like I may be best to drive there directly since I won't make it to the hotel by 5. I will have to be more careful of what I sample at the taproom!

You can always get some to go in a growler for consumption later. :beer

Sounds like a gathering not to be missed. Is there a particular hotel everyone is staying at by the boat show?

Jay - yes, most are staying in the Silver Cloud Inn at the stadium. It's adjacent to the boat show and is a pretty nice place to stay. It's easy to get to by light rail from the airport.

I've updated the Google Doc with every name I found in this thread who said they were coming. ALL - please check and make sure I didn't miss you and if I don't have your name (but rather have your C-Brat user name) please make the changes or let me know. See this link to check.

At present, it looks like we'll have about 36 attending with 14 in need of a ride. So it looks like I'll be renting a 15 passenger van and it looks like I'll need Tom with his commercial license to drive. It also looks like we'll need to put 1 person (or more if more sign up) in another vehicle (or two) to get the entire crowd up there.

 

[Rock-C]

Looks like we will be at the tap room. Put us down for two. Thanks.

Hi Roger,

Appreciate you putting together the transportation. Please count Amy and I for the Friday dinner and yes, we need a ride there.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!!!!

All - I'm working on getting a 15 passenger van rented to take people to the brewery. Tom Elliot with his commercial driver's license has agreed to drive. I'm guessing the total cost will be similar to what I paid last year which if I recall was around $200-ish +/-$20. Since Tom will be driving and Susan will be riding with him, the van will have space for 13. Others will ride in someone else's vehicle. I think I have about 6 additional spots for rides in other people's vehicles (including 2 in mine). On the assumption that those who are offering rides in their personal vehicles would be going anyway and don't need cash for gas, I ask that all who need a ride chip in evenly to support the cost of the van. This would not include Tom and Susan as we need Tom to drive in order to be legal with a large passenger van (a rental company insurance requirement). The cost will probably be around $12-15/head for the van but the laughs and companionship on the way to and from is priceless.

 

[rogerbum]

The 15 passenger van is confirmed, the total rental fee including taxes and fees is $164.70 but that doesn't include any insurance. My guess is that we'll tack on some insurance for both mine and Tom's peace of mind and that the final total will be right around $200 or around $12-13/head for the 15-16+ that will need a ride.

Thanks for organizing Roger. I can't commit to the van as yet, since I will not get to the Tsawassen ferry terminal until around 2:45 and it takes 2.5 hours to get to Seattle if the border is quick...

What time are we starting at the Tap room?
