YOU WILL COME TO A RED LIGHT WITH COGO'S ON THE RIGHT GO STRAIGHT, THE GRAY GOOSE IS JUST PAST THE LIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE IT IS A YELLOW BUILDING.
IF YOU GO TO ANOTHER RED LIGHT = YOU WENT TOO FAR.

Between those two source, hopefully you can find the joint. If not, here's the place's phone number: 412 828 8898.

I couldn't find the exact address for it for some reason, though. Either on the net or in my local yellow pages. Kinda odd.

Hopes that helps,
Yours Truly

 

Cya tomorrow!

 

What an incredible meeting!

We finally got to meet JediGurl and her Mom.

Lots of things coming up (I'll defer to Greencat for the minutes on that-don't want to step on her toes there)

We had fun, played games, and TALKED!

What a great time. It was nice to talk about whatever. No stress was sensed.

Thanks to ZeroCool for mentioning what he did at the meeting.

Hey, Chris finally got her custom....(Again, I let her explain that further)

I'm just so happy that we seemed like a cohesive group again.

We got back to being a fun group, mixing "business" with pleasure.

Lots of things coming up in the future (Again Chris)

For those that missed, IMO you missed the best meeting we've had in at least 6 months or more! If we can keep the meetings to somewhat like this last one, we are truly going to enjoy going to them and being a part of the group.

Thanks to all who came and participated in whatever degree.

Welcome again to Allie(Jedigurl). It was nice to have met you. Your mom seemed very open to the group and we all look forward to your continued "live" participation in the future.

(Can anyone tell that I'm really happy about the last meeting or what?)

Oh yeah, and Brian good job on leading the meeting since Terry was out with a root canal. Get better Terry and we'll see you at the next one!

 

I had a great time as well. The twins were the life of the party. Great song! I enjoyed playing the all-girl Epic Duels. Thanks to Sal for the advice on strategy.

It was great meeting Jedigirl, too!

Sal's custom was impressive... most impressive.

One important thing that was decided was that everyone should be called Chris since it seems like just about everyone is named Chris already.

See you next time!
BonMothma (aka "Chris")
