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.

<!–insert gratuitous gun photo –>

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.

Tickets, Bixbe, and P*rtscum

Tickets, Bixbe, and P*rtscum - Cassie Wallender // Firewallender

My grandparents are coming to town! This is great news, but it means I need to sell some of my season tickets to Sounders FC games. I’m trying out Bixbe to sell them. It’s a handy-dandy fairly instant storefront you can set up in a few clicks if you have PayPal (and who doesn’t?). The first set of tickets I put on Bixbe sold in 8 minutes. Like, money-in-my-PayPal-account sold. Beautiful. Let’s hope I have the same luck with this pair – the game is next Sunday night!

Speaking of Sounders, I went to last night’s US Open Cup game against the Portland Timbers via the epicness that was the Emerald City Supporter’s uber-bus caravan. So ridiculously fun. So so fun. I got to meet a whole bunch of ECS members and watch the Timbers can cut down, again, by the Sounders before their Open Cup hopes even had a chance. I love a little cross-”town” rivalry. Competition drives excellence.

Since we won (BOOYAH!), our next USOC game is Wednesday, July 7th at Starfire versus LA Galaxy. ECS has tickets for sale at $16 for members. Buy from our supporters club and avoid the Ticketmaster fees.  If you aren’t an ECS member and for some silly reason don’t want to be, here’s the Ticketmaster link.

The game is all general admission, so come early for great seats! So far Harmony, Erin O., Colin, Matt, and I will be there, for those of you out there in internetland who know me IRL.  Hope you can make it.

We had a great turnout for Seattle Startup Drinks tonight, it was actually way too loud! Thanks to my friend Andrew Hyde of TechStars for picking up the tab, and everyone for coming out to join us.

Startup Drinks is a mixer for entrepreneurs, coders, designers, etc. (a “drinking club with a startup problem”) and happens once a month, usually on the last Friday, at a different location in Seattle. Feel free to join the Facebook group if you’re interested in coming to the next one.
