Hobbit-styled 33rd Birthday: Food, Friends, and Music. What day/place works best for you?
[Poll #1775092]
If you select more than one location, please comment on what your highest preference might be.
A good friend suggested Seattle Center as another option, but given the near-constant events that take place at Seattle Center (there's a Latin American festival--yay!--and a charity run to cure cancer that weekend), the difficulty in finding parking for those that need to drive there, and the not-so-wheat-free-friendly restaurants in the neighborhood, I decided against it.

For your edification:
- Volunteer Park is in Capitol Hill.
- The UW's Sylvan Theatre is an enclosed ampitheater of trees and grass with a stage only delineated by a small hill with four Grecian columns on the main UW campus.
- Gas Works is located in Wallingford.
- Marymoor Park can be found in Redmond near 520 and Soulfood Books.
- Galerias is an incredible, gourmet Mexican restaurant at the end of Broadway closest to Volunteer Park. They serve $7 brunches until 3pm every Saturday and Sunday. Even if that isn't the location of the event, you should try them sometime (yes, they can make vegan and wheat free foods, just ask for veggies instead of meat and no cheese on most brunch dishes).
- Aqua Verde is an affordable Mexican cafe on the water, and with a brief jaunt up hill, not that far from the UW campus and its many gardens.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- Street parking tends to be free and easier to find on Sundays; bussing tends to be harder.
- If you have transportation difficulties, I can help connect you to someone with whom you can share a ride.
- I'm seeing presence, not presents, so please bring as many people (and your percussion instruments) along with you. Let's make some music!
