Let's make this a chocolaty experience to remember! Theo's remodeling is finally complete! We can get the grand tour of the factory. Please make sure to dress in light clothing for the tour since it's a little warm in the factory. Also no open toe shoes are allowed in the tour. We will also be looking glamorous in our beautiful hair nets that we are required to wear during the tour for sanitary purposes (this will be a good time for blackmail photos! :)

Make sure to bring your chocolate appetite for this tour for there will be plenty of sampling. Come for the history of the first organic beans lesson, the history of Theo Chocolate, chocolate trivia, mingle with new friends, and of course the free chocolate! If anyone's game, after the tour we can walk across to Bauer's Brewery and enjoy and small bite to eat and or a cocktail/beer.

I've received some interest for this tour via email today so I hope plenty of people can make it. I've opened it up to 10 couples! Please make sure when you RSVP that you'll be able to make it since the refund is only good if the Meetup is cancelled or rescheduled since my credit card will be taken up front for reservations! Thanks so much for all the amazing positive feedback and I look forward to meeting some new couples!

Laura

Hello All You Cool Seattle/Eastside Couples!

I wanted to organize an event where we can melt the Seattle Freeze (the Seattle stereotype of unfriendly people here in this city) by going out, mixing and mingling and of course dancing the night away! Pascal's (the previous organizer for this Meetup group) band Take One will be playing this evening at the Twisted Cork in Bellevue and they're awesome! We had a dancing event there before and it was pretty fun. The girls were mostly doing all the dancing while the guys talked about techie stuff and God knows what.

Let's break out of our comfort zone and paint the town red!! Hope to see most of you there! This event is for couples who want to come out and meet new couples to develop long term friendships and to prevent those who just moved here from being home sick. Just last Sunday at our Happy Hour Social, my husband and I met Cathy and Marc. It turns out they both run and walk half marathons like I do and Marc plays recreational hockey like my husband Supin. You meet some amazing people when you decide to come out and be a part of the fun! Also Ed, Shirin, Monette and Avery continue to be long term friends of ours and we met them through this Meetup group. I appreciate those who came out last week. Supin and I had a blast and the pizza wasn't bad either!

If you would like to check out the band information, please visit their website at http://www.takeoneband.com/. The live music begins at 10 PM so make sure to dust off your dancing shoes for this event because no is escaping the dancing (just kidding, we won't force anyone to dance).

I figured most couples could either have a romantic dinner at home our out at a restaurant and then join us for the after dinner festivities. See you on the 15th!

ACME BOWLING

Good Bowling Skills NOT Required

I've been thinking for awhile it'd be fun to do a group bowling night. I found this great place that looks really cool and should be fun. It's a little outside of Seattle but I think it will be worth the trip (bowling places are hard to come by these days!) and if I'm not mistaken we do have a few couples in South King County as well.

We can get food and drinks delivered right to our lane-not just Bud Light and corn dogs either! Beer, wine, and cocktails! This should be a laid back fun time.

Bowling is $5.50 per player per game and if you need shoes it's a $4 rental. Thinking we will do 2 games and I'll reserve three lanes at about 6 players per lane. There's a limit so when RSVP'ing couples don't forget your +1 so we have an accurate count.

Hey everyone,

So I am a temp assistant organizer : ) I mentioned this meetup to Laura but she'll unfortunately be out of town. I'll step in as the host because I think this looks fun and would love to get more people there. I am cross promoting this on SeattleCityGirls meetup so hopefully we can get a lot of people there.

Let's get in the holiday spirit and watch the Argosy Christmas Ship Festival! I love Christmas lights and Seattle's scenic water views so when I found out I missed this event last year I was really bummed. The Argosy Christmas Ship™ festival is a holiday celebration that has been a Northwest tradition for 59 years. Its main purpose is to bring communities together to celebrate the holiday season. From our flotilla of ships to the crowds of people who gather onshore, this celebration is one of the gems of the holiday season.

Each night, from Saturday November 29 through December 23rd, the Argosy Christmas Ship™ sails to different Puget Sound waterfront communities, over 45 in total. Choirs onboard sing 20-minute performances to these communities, all broadcast via state-of-the-art speaker system. And it's FREE!

Let's gather at one of the parks below to watch the boat parade!
MONDAY, DEC 1st - opening night
8:10-8:30
GAS WORKS PARK
Seattle Girls' Choir - Cantamus

I'll work out more details as it nears. Might be able to get a pop up tent in case it's raining.
