Seattle Area Gatherings
 

A new thread for gatherings and events of interest happening in and around Seattle, WA.

Okay, I'll start:

The Seattle Women's Chorus is among many talented groups of people performing before the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Westlake Center on 11/27, the day after Thanksgiving. Festivities start at 4:30 p.m. I just found out that my dad's chorus is performing as well. :)

Another fun thing coming up is the Great Figgy Pudding
Street Corner Caroling Competition, which is happening Friday, Dec. 4th starting at 6 p.m. I'll be performing with the group called Ancora. We are usually located somewhere near the carousel in the square across from Westlake Center.

'Tis the season!

LOVE the Figgy Pudding Thingy
 

Hi Cara ! I love the Figgy Pudding Christmas Caroling Competition ! The streets are closed off and there are so many groups performing...the Westlake Tree is brightly lit and the Holiday Carousel is gorgeous. Not to mention the Macy's Star...it's magical and
beautiful...dont forget to run inside Pacific Place for the "snowfall" !

thanks for posting the date !

Thank you for starting this :) :p

Hi there... I'm here, just lurking... as I can't usually make Seattle gatherings without a great deal of effort... Ahh, the difficulties of living out of the way, as lovely as it might be.

When i get my car fixed (or a new one) we are SO going shopping in seattle JLJ...........or something

Sweety, I am SO holding you to that.

i m so working on the new car thing!!!!!

it'd be great to get to seattle and meet a few peeps....

ohh when it happens i wonder if we coul dhave a small get together somewhere....

-bouncebounce- ohhh idea's are popping into my head

what does others think?

Let us know---ya never know.

I am really going to try and make the Caroling competition--. Thats about the max of my holidaying this year.

cara,
are you in the SWC? maybe you told me and i have forgotten? my godmother and her partner are! they love it! i haven't yet had the chance to see one of their concerts...

I just really don't want to push my car, it'd probably be fine however i am not 100 percent sure!

I'm looking forward to the Seattle Womens Choir as well as the Mens Chorus. The holiday shows are always nothing less than spectacular.


Dont forget the Westlake Tree Lighting is the 11/27.

The Figgy Pudding Caroling Contest (the streets are closed and there are blocks of carolers singing their Christmas hearts out.).
is 12/4

And for you crazies, the Jingle Bell run is happenin on 12/13 !

And who can miss the Defiance Point Zoo Lights ? ! Also starts 11/27 through January !

This week kicks it all off, so Happy Thanksgiving Washington !

Greetings fellow Seattle peeps and other Washington folk!

Greetings Joe--Happy belated holiday!!.

Hope all is well !!

Bumping because Seattle PPL need to stay in touch.

Since there was a bump... I have a question.

Is there anyone in the Seattle/Portland area interested in a Summer BBQ out toward the coast? I have a beautiful piece of property that is IDEAL for such a gathering and would love to host. I live just out of Aberdeen WA and have about 1/2 an acre of family friendly property with lots of space inside if the weather turns as well. We would also have access to the field across the street and the river.

Just thinkin...

oh oh oh i'd go if i could!

Fantastic. Well... July through August works good on my calender. Does anyone have any black out dates?

Sounds great
 

May us Canadians cross the 49th and come as well? It sounds like a very good idea!

:dance1:

This is sounding fantastic. It sounds like we need to look at July... SO *checks calender* OK, I have two possible dates.

Saturday, July 10th

or

Saturday, July 24th

Here now...sorta

is there anything on here for us dykes in the greater spokane area?? us people on the eastern side of the state are often forgotten but we are here.

I thought I'd see if anyone was planning to go to this show, or had some interest in it. It's produced by a femme who used to be in The Von Foxies. The show is September 2 and 3.

The Big Dyke singalong

I live in the Tri-Cities.

Strappie,

I am not from Seattle but we go there often. We don't do bars or clubs, but we enjoy the open air market Pikes Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, the Space needle, and the Experience Music Project. All of this is within walking distance of the piers and a ferry ride to an island or two! Fun times, enjoy!!
