I knew I should have looked it up.
If we meet at Straight Edge, Henry Rollins will come.
On the way in to town tonight, I drove past a church with a sign reading "Celebrating 20 Years of Serving Yinz." I wonder what happened in 2007 that made them switch.
If I put that on Facebook, I wonder if my cousins would get it?
I'm not in Pittsburgh but I read this as a meet up in Sharper Image, and I thought "oh wow Pittsburgh really is in a vortex"
Do we want to pick an arbitrary time? 6:30?
Earlier? Later? Bueller?
Instead of liveblogging, someone could post on Yinztagram.
Starting at 6:30 or 7:00 will likely work for me.
I'm kind of annoyed the giant fountain at the river confluence blocks a view where you could look at both rivers at once.
No, Winston, there are three rivers.
Pwnage because I needed to look up the difference between 1984 and Star Trek's riff on it.
As long as we're discussing river untruths, clearly we're on the true main stream of the Mississippi.
I'm upset they took down the sign by the fountain that said how many days it had been since they last found a corpse in the river.
Also, are the times noted above good for you?
I've yet to stumble upon a corpse while kayaking. But then again I haven't been made a corpse, so I suppose I'm still one up on it.
Shoot, yeah. Anytime after five's good.
I'll probably just work until 30 minutes before we're getting together and then hop on a bus.
I meant looking up both upstream rivers, not looking down the other one. What is this, Pedantsburgh?
For the time, I'm inclined to go with 6:30 unless there's some reason to go earlier if it's the kind of place that gets busy later.
If there are no objections, and saying Pedantsburgh hasn't put people off, I'm going to ask heebie to bump the post with a 6:30 time.
We were just elated that you had the 'h' in Pedantsburgh. It hasn't been Pedantsburg since 1910.
Who started hockey season so early?
I'm outside. This may be the extent of the live blogging.
I'm at the penis-shaped building, trying to remember exactly where this place is.
Pretty good live blogging, considering you just started. Have fun!
Everyone's shown up. Cosma looks more like Trotsky than usual.
The table is collectively avoiding responsibility for foreign genocides.
I always suspected one of us was Pol Pot. Big if true.
Only two of us don't have facial hair, so we're clear.
Please tell Cosma that I miss his book recommendations.
Intense discussion of the tactical feasibility of armored trains. Alas, we are less military historians and more people who have watched Looney Tunes.
Apparently, California has more than one high school.
Moby has revealed a horrific secret.
Resolved: kill all men, because something something unpatched 1990s Windows boxes? I missed half that thought.
I *did* not realize these motherfuckers were posting while they were fucking around with their phones at the table. Exterminate the brutes...
Only if you exterminate half the brutes in each iteration.
Wait, that meetup actually happened?
I may have been there.
Also, I'd read a Stormcrow media criticism blog.
Intense discussion of the tactical feasibility of armored trains.
Dammit, I should have been there.
Yes. When Moby time travels back to the late 19th/early 20th century he will not be killing baby Hitler, but will instead spend his time communicating his foolproof strategies for attacking and stopping armored trains.
50.2 At some point I will ramp that up. Per discussion last night the question is whether it is a JP Stormcrow or a [real name redacted] blog.
You could do like Taylor Swift and reinvent yourself plus put your picture on the side of UPS trucks.
The Union Trust Building atrium really is remarkable.
It is. We're blessed with an exceptional amount of interesting architecture for our size. (Or rather, we wasted away from a larger city, which left behind its physical and institutional remains.)
