NEW Location – NEW Day!

AAAWashed is moving back to Tuesdays, and we will be changing locations to Shilla Restaurant by Seattle Center. The restaurant has its own parking lot underneath the restaurant, and the interior has been remodeled. Please join us for our signature, monthly event to meet other adult adoptees. See you there!

We have tickets in the first level, just above the left field wall, for the game versus the New York Yankees. You buy the ticket and we’ll provide the food (all you can eat hamburgers, hot dogs, regular fries, popcorn and cookies) and drinks (water and sodas)…tickets are $34 each and you get a value of over $55!

We have the 300 level landing above left field for our dining area (by the BBQ area), starting when the gates open at 5:10 pm–great views of the city, the sound and the field, where we can watch batting practice while we eat some great ballpark fare! As the game gets ready to start at 7:10 pm, we will head down to our seats on the 100 level. Come early for food and drinks and stay for the game to cheer the Mariners.

If you are KIDS campers, add your number of tickets to your registration sheet we’ll get you tickets during camp!

Korean American adoptee and comedian, Amy Anderson, is coming back to Seattle at The Comedy Underground! Amy was here in town last August, and AAAW had a great group of people go to her show. If you weren’t able to make the show last time, you have an opportunity again to see her, and if you did go to the show in August, you know just how hilarious Amy is.

Amy is a national headliner of clubs and colleges, and she’s thrilled to bring her unique and edgy humor to Seattle again. In addition to nationally-recognized performances on television, Amy has also performed at many Korean adult adoptee events, including the 2006 GOA’L Conference and the 2008 IKAA Mini-Gathering in Las Vegas.
