Pittsburgh Meetup

August 4, 2006 6:26 AM

Pittsburgh MeFi meetup today! We will meet at the Beehive on Carson Street at 8:00. Look for a woman wearing an equestrian helmet.

In solidarity, I think each of us, wherever we are in the world, should all go out at 8:00 seeking a woman in an equestrian helmet.

See you guys there.

I think I'm going to catch The Takeover UK with Camera at Club Cafe at 10:30, in case anyone else is interested.

I don't live in Pennsylvania anymore, but nothing would be better than spicy basil noodles at Thai Me Up, and then to head over to the Beehive for a mocha.

I won't be there, but as a born-and-bred Pittsburgher I'm wishing you all a good time.

If you take any pix shoot a few outside for some local color!

That, and the rust colors, and the three rivers are brown, and sometimes at night the slag dumps in Castle Shannon turn the sky pink.

Is it just me or are more people not coming than coming? (I'm coming.)

Sorry I didn't make it :( I was waiting for a Verizon technician who never came.

DON'T USE VERIZON DSL

You missed a fun evening, ludwig_van. Low key, but still quite a nice time.

Now that we've finally been able to make a meetup happen (after what, a half dozen prior, fizzled attempts?) perhaps we can start making this a periodic kind of thing.

I'm bummed about it. Stupid Verizon made me wait from 5 to 9 and never showed.

Saturday September 9th at The Quiet Storm perhaps?

Awesome, Ludwig. Our phone line was cut accidentally by construction workers on Thursday and we had to wait until Sunday to get it restored. Verizon sucks.
