Vicesimo secundo die mensis Februarii habebitur proxima Commoratio Seattlensis!
Vndecima hora matutina in illo thermopolio Starbuckiano congregabimur quod in Centri Seattlensis. Aedibus Mediis prope ostium meridianum situm est. (Mense Februario intus nec foris sedere solemus.) Paulo post, duodecima fere hora, diversis ex Aedium Mediarum popinis, quarum sunt complures, prandium petemus unaque sumemus. Certe licebit etiam proprium afferre prandium.
Post prandium prima fere hora duo faciemus: Primum illam expositionem vitreorum inspiciemus quae vocatur Chihuly Garden and Glass. Deinde ad summam Acum Cosmicam anabathro vehemur. Expositionem ipsam intrare necnon et Acum ascendere paulo pretiosum est, sed si ambo faciemus tantum XXXIII thaleris constabit cuique (XXXI senibus). Mihi est pecunia qua pro OCTO tantum discipulis (nec, proh dolor, magistris aliisque) introitus tesseras emere possum. Ergo primi octo discipuli nomen dantes tesseras gratuitas accipient! Ceteros propriam pecuniam solvere oportebit.
Quibus rebus gestis, in animo habemus thermopolium illud petere cui est nomen “Summa Olla” (2124 5th Ave, 206-728-1966) nam ibi praebentur et optima caffea et omne genus circellorum frictorum atque etiam sita est in superiore tabulato bibliotheca ad colloquia Latina habenda satis apta.
Vt fieri assolet, ei qui velint adhuc Latine loquentes matura hora (quinta semis?) una cenabunt.
In diem XXII!
Valete!

The next Latin Day in Seattle will be held on February 22nd!
At 11:00am we'll get together in the Starbucks that's located at the south entrance of the Center House at the Seattle Center. A little later, probably at around noon, we'll lunch together on food we get from one or various of the Center House restaurants. You can certainly bring your own lunch too.
After lunch we’ll do two things: First we’ll take in the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit. Then we’ll go to the top of the Space Needle. To do both is normally rather expensive; but if we buy the package deal, it will only cost $33 apiece ($31 for seniors). I only have funds for eight student tickets (nor, unfortunately, anything for teachers and others); so the first eight students to register will receive free tickets! Sadly, everyone else will have to pay their own way.
After all this, we plan to go to Top Pot (2124 5th Ave, 206-728-1966), where they have great doughnuts and coffee and where there’s an upstairs library that’s a fine place for having group conversations in Latin.
As ususal, everyone who wants to hang around for more Latin conversation will have an early dinner (5:30?).
See you on the 22nd!
