This page is no longer maintained. I used to coordinate events as described below, but I eventually graduated with my Ph.D., and will be moving to Silicon Valley. I leave this page up as inspiration for someone else to perhaps take over. |
Once upon a time in the beautiful city of Seattle, Rice alumni would gather every month over beers. The tradition is back, on the last Thursday or Friday of each month. I will send out a reminder email once or at most twice per month. The initial email went out to all Rice alumni whom I found through the online directory, residing or working in Seattle, Redmond, Bellevue, or Kirkland as of July 2004. Please email me (see below) if you'd rather not receive email; receive it at a different address; or would like to be added to my list. |
We get together for beers and food on the last Thursday or Friday of almost every month, usually at the Roanoke Tavern. The Roanoke is easily accessible from I-5 and the 520, and parking in the area is easy.

We had an email vote (in Aug 2004) to choose between Thurdays and Fridays. The vote was exactly tied. So I voted for Thurs, motivated by alumni reminiscing of Thurs Beer Bike practices. And then (Apr 2005) my yoga class got moved to Thursday nights, so as organizer and benevolent dictator I decided to accommodate the other half of the voters by switching to Friday for a while.
If you know of other events that may be of interest to the local Rice alumni community, let me know and I'll include them in my monthly email. I aim to mail out the letter a week or two before each happy hour, so keep that in mind in deciding when to send me a notice.
