Pre-PAX Dinner & a Movie [HELP WANTED]

edited June 2006 in PAX Archive
Okay, this is for everybody who will be in Bellevue by Thursday August 24th.
There has already been expressed interest in a dying poll (go vote if you can find the poll, it was still on the first page as of this post) about what the Pre-PAX movie should be. There has also been the Pre-PAX dinner which I have not attended before. I am proposing that we find a restaurant near the hotels/PAX area and reserve the whole damned thing. A little while ago, I called Azteca to see if we could reserve for an insane number of people which I assumed would come to dinner if there was in fact a semi-official dinner. They spoke of essential closing the restaurant to everybody but the PAX eaters. There were several methods of food service they mentioned, including serving everybody from a small selection of the meno or having a buffet of some kind. Personally, I'm in favor of the buffet, with some kind of pay as you enter setup. Unfortunately, I live far away from the west coast, which makes it difficult when it comes to finding nice dining for the Pre-PAXness. Is there a Seattle local willing to take on the challenge of setting up restaurant goodness for the satisfied stomaches of all?

    If you want to do a nice pre-pax dinner don't go to Azteca. Go a few blocks over to Lincoln Square and eat ay Maggiano's Little Italy or Mcormicks & Schmicks.

    Anyone else like Thai food? The BEST Thai food I've ever had is at Chantanee, in downtown Bellevue.

    Yes. Also, that's like 5-10 minutes from my house, so it works doubly well for me. :P

    Marcus's Martini bar is great, and it's only a couple of blocks from Fado.

    Yeah, Pioneer Square would work for a pub crawl as long as we avoid places with cover charges. My neighborhood is Capitol Hill, though, and there are plenty of interesting places to go just on Pine St and Pike St alone. Also, my friend is a bartender at the Summit Pub, which is on Mercer and Republican. It's more north Capitol Hill.

    BTW, where do you live, Doc?

    Samual L. Jackson was in my Casino/Restaraunt last about a week ago. I bussed the table for him, hes shooting a movie around here. I'm 99.9% sure its snakes on a plane. I really wanted to ask him about it but I didn't want to bug him when you could tell he was really trying NOT to be noticed.

    I live on Beacon Hill. For some reason when I tell people that, they think "Rainier Valley/MLK Blvd," even though that's not it at all. It's actually a very nice area.

    Yeah, I was watching a movie today with a few friends (and a pet rat, but sssh!) and we saw a trailer we swore at first was Snakes on a Plane. Meaning, the trailer featured planes. It wasn't, and we were sorely disappointed.

    The next trailer was cool though, since it featured a building that I might be living in come May! (Yay X-men 3 and distinctive Vancouver landmarks ;))

    Sounds great, but it opens on the 18th. I'd planned to be all over that movie like... well, something on something else. My mind's a blank here.
    I guess I can wait a week

    EDIT: This movie is based on the Metal Gear Solid franchise, right? Right?

    Last year my birthday was the day before pax. I held a grand dinner at cucina cucina in bellevue the night before. They are good about accomodating large groups of people. I was thinking of doing this again this year because my birthday is actually day 1 of pax this year. Plus, I like having a large group of people celebrating me.
