The Millennial Social Club Goes to Sexy Nerds – Seattle 👾🎮

Join your host Emanuel and fellow millennials for a night of cosplay, gaming, dancing, and meeting new people at Sexy Nerds Seattle!
Sexy Nerds is a 21+ nerd-culture nightlife event bringing together gamers, anime fans, cosplayers, comic fans, geeks, and anyone who wants to party with a fun crowd.

I'll be there dressed as Cubone — so I should be pretty easy to find. 💀

Whether you're coming in full cosplay, throwing on a Pokémon shirt, or just showing up as yourself, you're welcome.
Cosplay is encouraged but absolutely not required.

Expect video games, cosplay, DJs and dancing, live performers, and plenty of opportunities to meet people.

🎟️ TICKETS:
This is a ticketed event hosted by Sexy Nerds. RSVPing on Meetup does NOT include admission. You must purchase your own ticket separately:
https://sexynerds.net/seattle
I recommend purchasing your ticket in advance, as the organizers recommend advance tickets to ensure entry.

📍 LOCATION:
OHM Nightclub
172 S Washington St, Seattle, WA

🕘 WHEN:
Friday, October 2
Doors open at 9:00 PM
21+ only — bring a valid government-issued ID.

👋 WHEN YOU ARRIVE:
Look for Emanuel in a Cubone cosplay.
We'll meet up inside and use the group to help everyone find each other. Don't worry if you're coming alone — that's exactly what events like this are for.
It's also completely fine to arrive late. Come when you can and find us inside.

👾 WHAT TO EXPECT:
Sexy Nerds combines nightlife with nerd culture — video games, cosplay, anime, comics, music, dancing, live performers, and a crowd that actually understands your references.
Music generally includes hip-hop and dance music along with EDM, pop, Latin, Caribbean, 90s/2000s hits, anime music, nerdy remixes, and other party music.

WHILE YOU'RE HERE:
Be social and introduce yourself to people
Respect everyone's personal space and boundaries
Cosplay is encouraged, but not required
Drink responsibly and know your limits
Be respectful of the venue, event staff, and other attendees
Most importantly — have fun and meet some new people

NOTES:
This is a Sexy Nerds event that our Meetup group will be attending together. We are not the organizers of Sexy Nerds.
Coming alone is completely normal. If you've been wanting to meet more people who are into Pokémon, gaming, anime, comics, cosplay, or other nerdy things, this should be a great night for it.

Urban Hiking: Redmond in Autumn

Sat, Oct 3 · 1:00 PM PDT

7541 Leary Way NE Parking, Bear Creek Pkwy, Redmond, WA 98052, USA, Redmond, WA, US

Want to see some beautiful fall trees and meet people? Urban Hiking is an opportunity to get outside and chat while hiking easy trails around the metro area.

This week's hike features downtown Redmond, where there's lots paved and relatively flat trails, many of which are grade-separated from traffic. Please let me know if you have other ideas for places we could hike.

We're starting and finishing at the 7541 Leary Way NE Parking, behind the Half Price Books. There's a trail on the east side of the parking lot where we'll meet up.

The day before the event, I'll check the weather report and cancel the meetup if rain looks likely.

Tap here to see a map of major trails and walking routes around downtown Redmond. We're doing a northwest loop this week, a 2-mile route that offers a nice mix of nature and city environments, and will take about 45 minutes. The downtown park is surrounded by restaurants if people want to grab something to eat after the hike.

Route this week:

1. Start at the Central Connector Park, at 7541 Leary Way NE Parking, behind the Half Price Books.
2. West to Sammamish River Trail.
3. North to City Hall, where you can catch up if you're late.
4. East to 164th Ave.
5. South along various small trails to the Central Connector Park.
6. (Optional) Get lunch and hang out at the Downtown Redmond Park. There's burgers, Greek food, and many other options around the park.

SF&F Reading & Hangout

Sun, Oct 4 · 11:00 AM PDT

Lincoln South Food Hall, 500 Bellevue Way NE Ste 250, Bellevue, wa, US

Want to hang out and chat about science fiction & fantasy (SF&F), and read some short stories? Anyone is welcome, whether you're a complete newcomer to the genre, or an oldschool fan of Asimov and Le Guin.

This week we're discussing a Kurt Vonnegut short story called "Harrison Bergeron." It takes about 15-20 minutes to read, and was published to a variety of places. If you don't have time to read it before the meetup, no worries; I'll bring my copy. You don't need to bring anything of your own. After discussing the story, we'll just hang out talking about SF&F narratives we like (in any form of media).

Location

Lincoln Square South Tower food court's 2nd floor lounge area (past the food court, near the Merrill Bank). Parking is free on weekends. Tap here to see a map. Tap here to see a picture of the lounge.

Long-Term

We decide on stories to read during the meetups and on the discord server: https://discord.gg/3dQN2jceh6
This event's discussion thread is in the "events-forum" under "SF&F Read & Hangout".

We read short stories by variety of authors, from the satirical (like Terry Pratchett) to heavier writers (Ted Chiang, N.K. Jemisin, Le Guin). The goal is a small, casual group to meet people, with stories as a conversation starter. We might get into longer novels later, but for now, reading short stories during meetups lets people dive in and join the discussion without having to catch up.

(And yes, the picture is a world carried on the back of elephants riding a turtle through space. That's Terry Pratchett for you.)
