First, I have to thank Tito's Handmade Vodka for sponsoring this event. They came to theCHIVE offices and asked us where we wanted to go. We immediately responded, "Seattle, before the weather gets super shitty."
Thanks to all the Chivers for coming out to play. It turned out to be one of the best times we've ever had. The Emerald City came to party, man. I made some good friends that night and we'll be back for more soon.
Thanks to Garage Billiards for being generally awesome. Any bar that has a fucking bowling alley in it is already awesome, but the staff there were amazing that night from what I remember.
And thanks again to the Belltown Pub for hosting the after party. I can't imagine what it looks like to see hundreds of wildly intoxicated Chivers steamrolling your bar at 1am looks like, but you handled yourself with poise and grace. I highly recommend the chicken wings.
I'm done thanking people now. No thanks especially to Mac, who was not invited and showed up anyway. His ability to elude security is legendary.

I’ve received hundreds of emails regarding The KCCO, the shirt I’ve been wearing to many of these meetups, and frankly, everywhere I go.
We are going to make a small amount available this Thursday November 8th at Midnight EST on theCHIVERY. The demand for the shirts is so high and the availability is so limited, launching them during the day would just be dumb.

Tito himself made the trip from Texas. He’s a great dude and he’s crafted a genuinely good American Vodka. Keep doing God’s work.
Also, the talented kid who created these amazing ice sculptures deserves some recognition. His name is Steve and his company is Creative Ice, really appreciate the time you put into these sculptures.
Check out the (very cool) timelapse video of the meetup below!
We always welcome your input on where to hold the next meetup. It’s time to announce the next offical Chive meetup will be held in Austin, TX, November 15th. Details shortly.
