Squeek and I will be driving to the Con, so we could offer rides for two people to the Pike Place Market. We'll probably just use the parking garage next to the Market; any locals know what the parking rates are and how validation works?

All here

I am aiming to get in there early enough for Early Bird parking....$10 for the day. Otherwise, we'd be paying $15 or so for that 6 hours we'd be downtown.

Sounds reasonable enough. How soon do we need to arrive to get the early bird price?

Link seems to be broken. :(

Edit: Link is really two links in one; separated it out and got to the right place, and answered my first question. Early bird is before 9:30AM.

Hey Tim,

Looks like we'll have a car after all so we can probably take a couple folks from the hotel.

I'll be missing out on anything that happens past noon, I've decided to go ahead and get that tat and they squeezed me on on Thursday afternoon.

So who else besides me is planning on hitting the SciFi Museum that afternoon?

Sweeeeeet! Glad you scheduled in advance! Can't wait to see it!

Scifi museum is awesometacular.

Definitely worth a stop.

Tim were you planning the Underground first? That's probably what I'm most interested in.

I am definately excited about this. I will be arriving Wednesday night. How do I reserve one of these van or car seats that are leaving the Bellevue Thursday morning?

I was not. I planned on the market in the morning, because the crowds really hit it in the afternoon. With 12+ of us, it would be VERY hard to move through the market and stay together.

The Underground Tour starts running at 10 AM, for those wanting to get that in before noon. You can buy them online, but you need to know exactly when you are going to be there. Buying them on premises requires cash only. My advice: Bring cash. I am not aiming for a specific time.

[Timitius]

OK! We are almost there!

I will meet people in the hotel lobby at 8 AM! From there, we will head on over to Pike Place Market. There is no real overwelcoming vote for where to meet, so I suggest meeting at the original Starbucks, first. After we all gather, and caffeine UP!, we will start our tour of the market, Post Alley, and other goodness.

At 10:30, we will be in the Golden Age comic store down on the lower level, for those late comers who wish to catch up to us.

After lunch, we will head down to the waterfront, and walk down towards Pioneer Square. I'd like to get to the Underground Tour at 2 or 3. After that, with time allowing, we can look around Pioneer Square, and then head back up to the market, and head back to the hotel...and the Meet and Eat event at the Crab Pot.

Sound good?

Works for me, Mr. Tour Guide. Let's do it!

[Tambryn]

Great. Will you be wearing a Paizo Golem Shirt?

Hey folks, I'll be staying on Vashon with my fiance's family, and I've got a total of five folks... we'd love to meet up with you all for the tour at golden age comics, if you wouldn't mind some complete strangers hanging about.

As far as I know we'll be meeting you all at 10-10 30 at golden age comics, but we (me +4) might meet up with you for the tour earlier.
