Sarah and I are off to Seattle for the Seattle Blogger Meetup. I hope to meet all the Seattle bloggers and some John Chow dot Com readers as well. I’ll also be taking care of some business while in Seattle but that’ll only take a few hours. Then we’re just going to shop until the meetup.

Best bet is to look for a space on Sixth or pay to park in the Warwick Hotel garage across the street for $6. I hope they have good food because I’m still having nightmares from that burger.
