It's come to my attention that a buncha yunz Monks is Picksburghers. AgentM, being the latest I'd noticed, suggested that we get together dahntahn.

So: how many Monks are close enough to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to want to go there for a little party/meeting/whatever? And how does sometime next weekend sound? I seem to recall meeting a total of five or six folks from the area; perhaps there are yet more lurking.

Let's hear what'd be good for you, and make some plans. I'll update this post as plans solidify

UPDATE

Ok, we've had a bunch of ideas, but few strong opinions. Some people will be able to make it around Thanksgiving who won't be able to sooner; I think maybe we could meet then too, if folks are inclined.

I propose 7:00 PM, Friday, Primanti's. If you approve, RSVP below. If you don't say why below. Or /msg me, if you'd rather.

FINAL UPDATE

Primanti's deli - casual dress. 7:00 PM Friday, Nov. 3. 3803 Forbes Avenue, East of downtown, just past Children's Hosptial. Be there, or be square.

    I ain't living in da burgh anymore, but I'll be there for Turkey day from the 17th to the 28th. Meeting yinz for a cold ahrn or two sounds great n'at.

    I'm thinking the saside is better than dahntahn, though, unless the stillerz are in tahn. We should go to Primanti's. Or maybe a Pens game.

    I work downtown. I'd reccommend either Vallhalla, or that new jazz club near the edison.

    I'd go, but I am not oging to be here for thanksgiving. And I am just new to the area, so I do not know my way around here. And, sorry to say, I think I might be the youngest one there. Just a little akward for someone who still can't drive. thealienz -no time to long in... RUN!!!

    I've created a nifty home node graphic for all "yunz" that wanna show off that you're from Pburgh (yeah, it's a joke). But I might find it useful if we link that to a webpage somewhere with a bboard...in fact, I'm making it NOW! Since I can't display the pic here, here's the URL: http://www.mac-man.de/pspm.gif. Hope to c u all friday!

      I've got a bboard, but it requires a login and valid email. (free registration ;)

      I mostly use it for notes an'at.

      I think it may be overkill tho.

    Count me in for a meetin' in da ghetto for wheneva xept fo' thanksgivin' since the campoos closes down and I gotta gow.

    May I suggest a place? How about someplace near a bus stop so that I can get there (or through Pittsburgh's fascinating three-station subway system)? do we want to eat, see a show, or wassdaplan? I'm in for next week if you're game. As an incentive, I'll be offering *free* (did i say free? I must be INSANE!) autographs to those who come. My autographs usually sell on ebay for more than $0.20 (wavering with the current Apple stock)! so come and let's hoe-down! I'll be the one wearing the red shawl.....8-o

    /me RSVPs and humbly asks for directions
