Thursday night’s 3rd Birthday Party for Metblogging Seattle at Remedy Teas was a smash hit, with guest appearances by authors (9!), readers, commentators (Gomez!), Six Apart staff (?), and fellow bloggers (Seattlest(s), Buffoonery, & Capitol Hill Seattle!) bearing gifts (walnuts?). We managed to fill up the space nicely, startling several would-be customers who thought they were going to have the place to themselves for quiet contemplation.

For me the real highlight was seeing what Remedy’s kitchen could produce when told to go all-out: those little tea cookies you normally see behind the glass at the counter were out in force on towering vertical trays that looked like castoffs from Star Trek: 3-D Chess. I’d like to say we saved some cucumber sandwiches for the vegetarians among us, but the truth is they were too tasty to let them go to waste on Josh.

The evening was capped off with a cake and candles (apparently in some long-forgotten Mayan base-3 ⅓ numbering system).

Stay tuned for next month’s meetup, sure to feature 100% less subsidized tea and cookies, but the same cast of characters.
