NWSFS: The 2011 Mad Scientist Social

Saturday - 10/22/2010 – NWSFS Mad Scientist Social

Please join Michael Ormes, Victoria Whitlock and their minions for the October NWSFS Social, beginning at 5 P.M. and ending at 10 P.M (or when they eject the last remaining guest or loan them sleeping space). 14437 NE 11th Place, Bellevue.

This is the Mad Scientist Social, so present your favorite experiments, inventions, gadgets, creations, discoveries and curiosities.
NOTE: Please limit yields and power requirements to something appropriate for a residential area.

Bring your favorite videotapes or DVDs, as there is a separate room for viewing. There will also be a variety of board and card games available, or you can bring your own favorite.

As usual, this is a potluck, so bring your contribution of a main dish (occasionally have enough), side dish (rarely have enough), beverage, munchies (usually have enough), or dessert (often have enough, but then really, who could object to too much dessert).

Based on continued demand (despite limited participation), A Challenge for the build-ahead-of-time crowd has again been included. So, for those who prefer time-to-think, and your-own-choice-of-materials:

Defend against an attack by Lego Minions

Intelligence reports that a group of your Arch-Rival's Lego Minions were late to last year's event and, in an attempt to redeem themselves, are planning to assault you at this year's event. Your challenge is to create an inconspicuous device to foil the attack by incapacitating the minions.

The winner is the device able to incapacitate the most Lego Minions during the attack.


The Fine Print:
  • Minions are considered "incapacitated" when they are no longer upright or are contained.
  • Your device needs to operate at a range of two meters.
  • The device should be concealed on or about your person for a significant portion of the evening. If not actually hidden there should be an adequate cover story as to just why you are carrying around what is obviously an Atomic powered Cattle Rod that is taller than you are.
  • Being a social event, the Minions are to be incapacitated while doing minimal damage to them or their environment.
  • Intelligence suggests that the Minions have spent some portion of the intervening time being augmented.
  • Intelligence will be able to provide some (but not much) warning in which time you may discretely draw and prepare your device.
  • In the event of a tie, the attack will be repeated at a greater distance (or shorter if no minions are incapacitated by any device).
  • As usual, the sponsors of this event assume no responsibility for damaged egos.
  • Innocent-bystanders are responsible for their own defense.

 
We apologize for those Mad Scientists who have been constructing a siege weapon (the copy-and-paste device which failed in the creation of the previous notice has been replaced). If a sufficient number of siege weapons arrive then a contest similar to last year will be held.

A Challenge, in a form similar to previous years, will also be presented for those who desire the satisfaction of solving a problem using limited time and constrained resources. (i.e. you get the details when you arrive).

Logistics: There is plenty of parking on the street. The driveway is a bit steep. The only pets are aquatic, and they are expected to remain in their appropriate habitat. NOTE: If you need test subjects, please make other arrangements. Smoking is acceptable outside only, please. There is a covered breezeway available, with seating, for smokers.


Directions:

From I-405 (both directions – or take the SR520 route):

  • Take the NE 8th St exit Eastbound (not the SE 8th St exit). Travel East on NE 8th St towards Crossroads Mall
  • Take a Left (North) on 140th St NE (there is a Walgreen's on the corner)
  • Take the first Right on NE 14th St, before the Fairweather Building.
  • After some large speed bumps, this road will make a 90-degree right turn and become 144th St NE
  • Take a Left on NE 11th Place
  • This road again takes a 90-degree Right turn
  • As you turn, the house is on the inside corner, around the corner. The house is brown, and the drive goes up a small hill, pointed back the way you arrived.
 
From SR520:

  • Take the 148th St exit
  • Travel South on 148th St NE
  • Turn Right (West) on NE 10th to 145th St NE. It looks like a driveway until you are right there.
  • Take a Right (North) on 145th St NE
  • Continue to 11th. The house will be on the left, with the drive pointed up the hill, in the direction you were going.

From I-90: DON'T try to go partway and then follow the directions from SR520 because there is a left turn that you can't make:

  • Take the 148th St exit
  • Travel North on 148th St NE
  • Go West on NE 8th to 140th St NE
  • Take a Right (North) on 140th St NE (there is a Walgreen's on the corner)
  • Take the first Right on NE 14th St, before the Fairweather Building
  • After some large speed bumps, this road will make a 90-degree right turn and become 144th St NE
  • Take a Left on NE 11th Place
  • This road again takes a 90-degree Right turn As you turn, the house is on the inside corner, around the corner.
  • The house is brown, and the drive goes up a small hill, pointed back the way you arrived.

Wayward has shiny good news at last!

Posted on behalf of Wayward Coffehouse:


To our beloved and much missed Wayward community,

After months of effort and exhaustive searching we have finally
secured a new location for Wayward Coffeehouse!

The new site where we can once again gather over delicious coffee is in the
Ravenna area at 65th and Roosevelt. We tried valiantly to find a suitable location in Greenwood, but although there are a few vacancies there, none met our needs for space and other criteria.

We are thrilled to finally have a new home and grateful that it is close by and we hope that many of you will still be able to come by as frequently as before. We are also excited to be able to spread the wonders of Wayward to a new neighborhood and expand the fabulous community of friends we built during our five years in Greenwood.


We hope to
reopen by late October. There is a great deal of work to be done at our new space before we can once again greet all of you with a Muad’Dib Latte and Melbourne Sandwich. But we’re gathering the crew and work is underway to transform our new space into our much missed coffee haven.

We have been so
grateful to all those who contributed to the Wayward Phoenix Fund in the weeks and months after the fire and those donations helped the staff survive as they sought interim employment and helped with our ongoing legal costs.

... but we still need your help.


If you can, please
help us get reopened by donating to the Wayward Phoenix Fund. All new donations will be used to help with the costs of rebuilding at our new home. For more information on how to donate, please go to: Wayward Phoenix Fund Donations (http://www.sbcharities.org/?page_id=16) and look for the Wayward logo to donate online or for information on donating by check. We again wish to thank Seattle Browncoats Charities for their support and assistance.

We have missed you all so much and are eager to open our doors again to the wonderful community of Wayward friends.
Keep watching your inbox for updates on our rebuilding progress!

We aim to keep flyin’ ...



Wayward Coffeehouse, it's better than a plan

Reopening in October at 65th & Roosevelt

Please join NWSFS on July 6th, 2011, at 7:30 PM at one of Judy Johnson’s favorite restaurants: 

Bob’s Burgers in Marysville/Tulalip.



This is why Judy likes Bob’s Burger and Brew:  They will grill the onions for your burger and cook it as you like (or close, anyway), and they’re not stingy with napkins, AND they will do separate checks (I promised them it was ok to add the 18% onto the individual checks).  Further, the service is cheerful and they have wi-fi and a full bar.  The group room can be quieter by closing the doors.  Easy to find, lots of free parking.  It’s visible right south of WalMart, the one at the Quil Ceda exit off I-5, the second Marysville exit coming from the South (turn West/left toward Tulalip Visitor Info and right the first light – if you see the Bingo place, you’ve gone too far).  After supper, for those who like Casinos, the big newish Tulalip Casino is only a block away.  (Don’t be fooled by the old Casino, at the first Marysville exit for Marine Drive/4th Street.)

Parking is to be found fairly easily on the street, or there is a pay lot right next to the restaurant.  If you bus it, they are within a couple blocks of several bus routes that serve lower Queen Anne/ Seattle Center West side.
