Here’s a plan @brucephenry, @geekgiant, and I hatched on Twitter. We noticed there’s quite a few Seattle Geeks who love to go shooting, and thusly determined we should all go shooting together. So here’s the plan:
WHERE: Wades Eastside Guns and Outdoor Range
13570 Bel-Red Road, Bellevue, WA 98005
WHEN: Tuesday, March 10th at 7pm, until we abandon ship for beer (Wades closes at 10pm)
COST: Lane rental is $15 for the first person, $10 for each additional on the lane up to three people. Gun rental is as little as $8, or bring your own. Targets are $.25 – $1 each, depending on size.
WHY: Who doesn’t like to blow stuff up? All geeks are welcome, whether Republicans, Democrats, marksmen, n00bs, or anything in between.
So before you leave for Austin, come get your cowboy on with us. Please RSVP with a comment so I know how many people to plan for. Also, please use the #SGS1 hashtag on Twitter to pass the word along, and feel free to bring a friend!
UPDATE: SGS1 has come and gone, and it was a lot of fun! 13 people showed up, and we had a blast.
If you’ve be interested in giving Seattle Geek Shootout another go, please leave a comment. I’ve be happy to organize another one, perhaps on a Monday, when the range is a little less crowded.
I am going. Weee!
Love,
Captain Obvious
First! You know I'll be there! Post what you're bringing too!
Excellent Idea! I'll be there. Anytime is a good time to get your gun on.
I'll be there and help be rangemaster for n00bs, I *might* have something to let you all shot as well… ;) I'll be bringing a friend as well!
okay, i'm going to be at a conference all day but will hopefully be able to come!!!!! Maybe we could car pool? I'll be downtown til 5 or 6
Durnit, I left my handguns in Alaska. You should organize a geek skeet shooting event– exploding clay is much more exciting than perforated targets! Of course, there's always IPSC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8a_n3phvb4)
Does this mean you're joining us, Tony? Trust me, guns will be available. :-)
Yeah, I'm totally down for a carpool from downtown.
I plan to be there. Should be fun.
I may have Jedric (my 12 yo) that week; if we are both up for it then we'll see you there.
Geeks with Guns? yikes…
@TJ_Sopher and I (@Shih_Wei) will be there! He's familiar with Wades but I've only been there once.
Now I have the "ladies night" song stuck in my head.
Count me in. I go to Wade’s all the time. Beretta 92FS, Glock 20.
Sounds like fun. Might go if I can pry myself away from Work/NSCoder night/STS
Sounds like a hoot! I've never been so I'm in the n00b category. If people have some grace, I think I'll have a ton of fun!
Oops! I forgot I'm watching the Watchmen that night. Don't give anything away! =)
M and I are going to try and make it! We'll be in the area… :0)
I'm going to try to make it
That was great fun! Thanks for organizing it, Cassie!
