Perhaps someone should investigate a gathering at the General Petroleum
Museum, only a couple of blocks from the Convention Center conference
site... Seattle coffee is, after all, thought by some to be a petroleum
distillate... Seriously, the owners of the (private) GPM also operate a
cafe across the street, the Museum Cafe, 321 E. Pine Street at Bellevue,
621-8580.  It's filled with gas-station-related realia.  Anybody want to
check it out (sorry, not me!)?
