It was a fun evening yesterday, the hangout with PZ and friends. The secret location was Olympic Sculpture Park, which was my brilliant idea – I’ve talked about it here before, because it’s one of Seattle’s better urban amenities and it’s in walking distance of where I live. It’s on a slope overlooking Elliot Bay and Puget Sound and the mountains. It was a perfect evening for it, breezy, bright, and with the late sunset of almost-solstice.
Deanna Lyons took some pictures of the killer sunset and she gave me permission to post some.

Beautiful.
It didn’t rain? I thought not raining in Seattle was illegal.
Not at this time of year; quite the opposite. There’s not enough rain for my taste from May through September.
That was a perfect idea for a super secret location. Lots of chairs, easy to hear and talk, and a great view.
It was lovely meeting everyone.
Just what I thought.
I love the chairs. So great, but such a rare amenity in parks. Without the chairs it wouldn’t have been such a good choice at all.
I guess they’re a byproduct of the art. The art means there have to be guards, and guards can keep the chairs from disappearing.
We had a great time. I enjoyed the chance to put faces to names on the screen.
How very cool!
What, no Jacob’s Ladder?
I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it. Surprise 11 hour day at work, and by the time I got home I was not fit for human consumption. I’m glad a good time was had by all.
