Just had an epic Nerf battle in the office.

Seattle Geek Shootout #3

SGS announcements are a bit out of place here, as it’s a personal blog and now many great folks are involved, but Seattle Geek Shootout #3 is finally here!

Check out the announcement and shiny new group on Facebook.

For those of you without Facebook:

Time: 09 March · 18:00 – 21:00
Location: West Coast Armory Indoor Range
13216 SE 32nd Street
Bellevue, WA

Seattle Geek Shootout is a safe, non-partisan, and fun environment to practice your aim (or try for the very first time) with other Puget Sound people involved in startups and technology.

GunUp.com is kindly sponsoring this event by covering lanes fees for the first 30 participants to show up at the range. You can bring your own guns & ammo or rent there ($15) and purchase ammo.

Afterwards we will likely meet up at a nearby watering hole.

Please feel free to invite friends of similar caliber (pun intended). :-) Add yourself to the “Seattle Geek Shootout” group on Facebook to receive invitations to future events.

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.
