The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Last year a small band of us, organized by the 'leet ElectricTurtle ventured forth on Sunday morning into what I can only assume is the Chinatown of Seattle for dim sum.
Many small but delicious items were devoured, much camaraderie was enjoyed, and we all left full and with more money than we thought we'd have after the feast we'd eaten.
I would like to repeat this because, let's face it, it was because it was yummy:
So, if you're interested, please PM me. We're going to try to keep this moderately small (read: manageable) and be aware that the dim sum place is maybe.. 6-8 blocks walking from the convention center or a cab ride. This will probably be on Sunday morning before PAX boots up.
I would really like to come this year, because last year I wanted to as well, but it was my first time at PAX and I got caught up in the PAXiness of it all.
This year however I have +2 and wouldn't want to impose, since the +2 aren't even members of the forum. If you have room for 3 more people though, then I wouldn't mind, since I have wanted to head down to the ID for a while...but parking in the city scares me.
New Hong Kong (formally New Kowloon) restaurant has pretty good dim sum and a TON of seating space. As for the ride to the international district, you can ride certain buses for free from 6AM-7PM.

HUZZAH! Your post didn't really help, but I found out that a park and ride near me only needs one bus to head down to the ID...which is nice since it is a 35 minute ride I can get some hand held playing in.
For a second I was even considering taking a bus to PAX instead of driving my car...but then I remembered I need to drive back since buses don't run that late...and I am bringing 2 other people.
Well, last year we went to Honey Court on ElectricTurtle and Astayonix's mad crazy Seattle knowledge and it turned out really well, plus it was in walking distance. I was thinking we'd just hit that up again unless some native Seattle-ite has the scoop ("Oh, don't go there, they really suck now" or "They closed").
And no worries if you want to bring +2 or whatever, just make sure you PM me so I can get you a phone number and for organizational purposes.
I think I've gotten the details to everyone interested so far, let me know if you didn't get a PM from me, I got a bit behind on things over the weekend
Someone explain to me what dim sum is, and why I should like it.
It's relatively cheap (last year I think it came out to $5/person), it's really delicious, and everything is server in tiny plates like Tapas so you get to try a whole lotta things and eat what you find out you like.
Good company, good food, and a morning constitutional, what more could you ask for?
Jade Garden is really popular (which usually means a 5-10 min wait on weekend mornings). Another good place is Purple Dot. Its a bit cheaper and less busy but still delicious!
Both are in chinatown/international district.
If you're on the eastside, I'd recommend Jeems in the Bellevue/Overlake area.
Just wanted to say that Honey Court has gotten about as good a review as a dim sum place can from the place that made me realize there was an international district and made me want to go there.

What kind of schedule does Jeem do dim sum on? The last time I was there i saw no carts and no dim sum menu but it was like a year ago. I wasn't that big on what I did have there but all my chinese friends rave about the place.
I think Jeems stops doing dim sum at 2 or 3pm, maybe even earlier depending on the crowd. Jeems is good (their shu-mai seems to be a lil oversized) but I still prefer Jade Garden or Purple Dot.

If you mean Bamboo Creek on Southside, they reopened on Baymeadows where Bennigan's used to be...
I do mean them. Good to know, thanks!

MSG 150, they go out for lunch at all of the restaurants in the ID. So far I think they have been to every restaurant west of I-5.
