FYI, I will be migrating the website to a new host this weekend. During the migration I will likely disable comments to avoid anything being posted and lost during the transition.
Hopefully things should be fully operational again by the end of Saturday with minimal disruption, but be aware that it may take some time for your internet provider’s DNS servers to update to the new site host.
Update: If you’re reading this update, then you are viewing the site on its new host. Everything should be up and running. Let me know if you experience any difficulties. Thanks!

I’m taking the day off to hang out with friends and family, and enjoy a little kayaking.
Exciting Independence Weekend Contest!
Whoever guesses the closest lat-long coordinates to the location where the above picture was taken wins a Made in Washington gift bag with some MarketSpice tea, a Fran’s chocolate bar, some Cabernet chocolate cherries, Biringer’s lemon tea cookies, and an Almond Roca.
One entry per person, leave your guess in the comments along with a valid email address so I can contact you if you win. Contest closes at midnight Monday morning / Sunday night.
Have a great weekend everybody!
Update: Congratulations to Joe @ comment #4, whose guess was just 16 feet from the correct location! Incredible. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he somehow cheated. Here’s a map of all your guesses, with the correct answer marked in green:

PLACE: Third Place Books (Lake Forest Park at the corner of Bothell Way (522) and Ballinger Way (104))
Parking is plentiful and free both below at the main entrance and above behind the building. We will be meeting in the commons area near the main stage. We’ll be sure to put some sort of “Seattle Bubble” sign up again on our tables.
See you there!

Back in January we had our first official Seattle Bubble meetup in the U District. I estimate about 20-30 people showed up, and we had a great time. So, we’re doing it again, this time in a location more central to Seattle and Eastside readers.
Here are the details:
DATE & TIME: Tuesday April 21st at 7:00 PM
PLACE: Third Place Books (Lake Forest Park at the corner of Bothell Way (522) and Ballinger Way (104))
Parking is plentiful and free both below at the main entrance and above behind the building. We will be meeting in the commons area near the main stage. We’ll be sure to put some sort of “Seattle Bubble” sign up again on our tables. Call 206.313.1914 if you need help or can’t find us.
Here’s Google Street View of the spot, just because I can:
Again, this is just an informal get-together with no official agenda, just to meet up and hang out. Third Place Books is a more open space than where we met last time, so it shouldn’t feel near as cramped. Also, there is a little food court there, but be aware the most restaurants at the commons stop serving around 8:00-8:30 PM. So if you are hoping to buy food, you should plan to arrive by about 7:30 PM.
I’ll be there, as it’s practically right in my backyard.

Just a quick note to let the blog readers know that some Seattle Bubble regulars have put together an “unofficial” south end Seattle Bubble Sunday morning, (March 15th) at 11:00 AM at the Columbia City Bakery (4865 Rainier Avenue South).
Hit the forums for more details. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend, due to prior commitments at church.
