Tempero do Brasil I was excited to see Ipanema Grill 6 blocks from the hotel, unfortunately it seems to be closed for good. So this restaurant which is a 10 minute ($15) cab ride away and which also serves Brazilian cuisine (including the ever-tasty feijoada) will have to do.

Adam Wead and Michael Klein are organizing a viewing of Get Lamp: The Text Adventure Documentary

It's not about Linux, Apache, MySQL or PHP, but if you don't have a one, you might get eaten by a grue.

If there is additional interest, there may be another viewing this week.

Veg*n Dinner Wednesday

We'll pick a place with lots of veg*n options to go eat Wednesday for dinner. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians welcome.

Meat-Up Dinner Wednesday

BOKA Kitchen + Bar, 1010 1st Ave (between Spring St & Madison St) - about 1/3 mile/5 min from hotel. We head over from the Amazon Technology Open House and get there by 8PM. Very much a eat-local place. Beecher cheddar - yum. Nice, mellow room. We should be back in plenty of time to hit the Drink-Up.

  • Cary Gordon

Note that they have some excellent non-meat options for any meat groupies that want to hang with us.

(if you do not find a suitable burger joint, there are also some top-notch steakhouses in Seattle. Both the Metropolitan Grill and El Gaucho are delightful if folks are OK with $50 steaks. Just FYI, not trying to hijack your meat-up, Cary!. -mjgiarlo)

Evergreen/Koha and friends dinner Wednesday
