I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Snowy, her SO, and MisterCoaster yesterday. If you want a great Seattle experience downtown, Snowy's recommendation of the Pike Brewing Co. can't be beat. World class food and some microbrews beyond compare, or so say all of the beer connoisseur's at the table. This lonely wine slut can only attest that she had little understanding regarding the quality of hop-iness for a particular brew (IPS?), and so many other distinctions. We all agreed that the best brew, wine, and champagne came from the religious orders of lonely monks.
MisterCoaster has the most gorgeous head of red hair that I have ever seen. (BOR would be jealous). He is also a great conversationalist and I enjoyed his description of moving recently from LA to Denver. It was his first visit to Seattle and I hope he will visit again in the future.
Ms. Snowy was everything I imagined her to be from her posts. Bright, intelligent, knowledgeable, and she has a vast background of experience to draw upon. An added pleasure was that we could also share in the small town dynamics of Mason County.
A side benefit, but an immense one to me and Mr. Elph, was how much we enjoyed the experience of good food, beverage and conversation with interesting people. It occurred to us that we haven't been out together or in a social setting since Mr. Elph's cancer surgery. So this meeting among a few very nice TFPers was the necessary motivation for us to get back out in the world that exists beyond work.
A nod to TFP for all of the wonderful people that come here, and a hug to Ms. Snowy for making a Seattle meet happen.
