[TheForge] ABANA meeting

[schade at acegroup.cc]

I won't be making it to the Abana conf this time but I was in Seattle 
not too long ago.

If you have the time go to the Five Points Cafe for breakfast (endless 
hash browns). It's great food and will last you all day. Endless hash 
browns!! The place has lots of local color and is next door to a coin 
laundry so you can wash your whites while you eat breakfast and keep an 
eye on your machine on the security cam in the Cafe.

Be sure to check out the periscope view of the space needle while 
standing at the urinal. Five Points Cafe is what the world used to be 
before such things as Starbucks* etc.
