I know it has been mentioned a few times but I wanted to make sure eveyone knows you are all invited to the NW Geeks Herf III. It will be held at my family's cabin, on the shores of the Puget Sound in Olympia, WA July 12-14th. I have been very busy with many things and have not been on the site much, but this is happening. You still have time to get a plane ticket or organize that carpool from Gerogia (input your state here).
The last two years have been some of the best times I have had in my life. Smoke, eat, talk, repeat. Simple formula, but it works. We have gone to a Tacoma Rainiers game (Seattle Mariniers AAA team) the last 2 years and can go to another if we all decide we want to again this year. Last year after the Rainiers game we also visited Smoky Joe's cigar lounge in Fife, WA.
Come for the day or the weekend.
