Why not? Notch will be there, anyone is allowed to turn up. What won't work about it?
I'm wondering why it won't work as well. All we really need is someone to be in good contact with notch, we already have several good locations, parks, malls, cafes.
1)Crossroads mall - no good too crowded
2)Bellevue square - usually crowded but do-able
3)Panera Bread - ive been here it is crowded and great
4) Pike Place Market - holy **** are you serious? way, way, way, too crowded
5) Downtown Park - best idea
edit: note) crowded does not mean too many people it means someone will ask us to leave

I can confidently say that minecraft is more satisfying, tidy, efficient for reducing stress, enjoyable and managable than sex.
I was going to vote for the Downtown park too, but then I remembered that Seattle area weather has a tendency to go bad on any day that you plan something outdoors. Maybe it will make an exception, but I'd rather go for Bellevue Square if only because there are more places to go that are under cover.
Also, do we have a time that we might be gathering? I see that an all day event might be fun, but it's also entirely possible that there would be a small handful of people for most of the day with people coming and going at random. I wonder if an afternoon/evening thing might work out such that we could have a reasonable group for a while. Thoughts?
I guess downtown park seems to be the best idea for everyone, we could also do crossroads park, good amount of space and 3 minutes away from my house so I could walk. >_>

I really have no idea on time I only know Notch will be open on the 31st. And I know what you mean about the weather and Bellevue Square does offer a lot of variety in terms of places to go so we would need to pick an exact location there. Also not sure about the all day event because I am not sure if it is just a free day for Notch or he has a meeting or something to go to.

I think some time tomorrow or the next day I will make a thread with a poll in it that has all the ideas posted and the most popular one will be the choice, I will post a link to that thread in the first post once It has been made. In less I can add a poll to this thread with out having to make another.
Hmm I will have to look in the options for adding a poll thanks for the info Alexbrainbox. And also roomon1 I am interested in what he says so it would be great if you could post his answer here when he responses.
EDIT: I found how to add the poll and will start one some time tomorrow or the next day once people get enough time to post some ideas. The most voted idea will be the one we pick.
Guys, instead of a poll we should really let notch choose, since he is the one we want to meet. Don't want to choose a place then notch say I don't know where that is or I can't get all the way over there.
That is a good Idea Noah and we could present him with a list of our suggestions. But Notch said he just did not have enough time to plan this him self so he was hoping the community could start something. That is why he said he wanted something around the Bellevue area because that is were he is probably staying in a hotel so we give suggestions of areas around Bellevue and he can google maps directions. If Notch can pick an area he wants to meet in then that is just fine but he probably does not have much knowledge of the Bellevue area in general.

I agree with this and would like to attend with a friend.
Then i will get a picture of me and notch and his autograph.

Both of these are good points. We can do a combination though. Where we see how many people would choose various places and then pick the one Notch can do and has the most votes. (Or the other way around: See which ideas Notch is good with and vote on those.)
Edit: Whoops, I think lanternghost said a similar thing. The point remains though...
Unrelated in any way to this thread, as I live in Texas, but are you familiar with the song in that flash?? Anyone?

From the blog post:
My interpretation of that is that he's open all day. However, I dropped him a tweet to find out for sure.

Also I'll wear a nametag.

Awesome! I am hoping to bring a friend or two also because I know they are also a fan of Minecraft.
