2023.9.15. The Collective Open House

9/15, Friday. The Collective - Seattle hosts an open house today, to entice the tenants of a neighboring apartment building to the membership. I've been to this venue numerous times, but only now realized that it's a club with membership. They are offering $125/month, with a $100 sign up fee (all 50% discount). However, no tour of the facilities.

Good and great amount of food: the seafood platter has fresh oysters and crab claws, smoked salmon and mackeral, scallop ceviche. Appetizer: dumplings, spring rolls, coconut shrimp. Drink is not free. The small band is not bad. Soon after the karaoke started, I left with a full belly. Some of the "amateur singers" are so bad. Still half of the food left. Desert all gone.

Looks like there'll be 2 more open houses like this with some different apartment buildings this fall.
