[wplug-plan] something to consider for the future

[Greg Simkins]

Maybe we could meet at the Galleria Mall. Panera's has that VIP room or we 
could meet right out in front of Panera's or in front of Starbucks 
downstairs.

Another venue would be South Hills Village Food court - I would guess it 
would be a bit noisier there.

Or EatNpark at SHVillage, Streets Run Road, Dormont or Banksville Road.

I am committed this Wednesday evening.  I plan to attend the PTC event on 
Thursday for awhile.  Otherwise, I think I am likewise pretty flexible.

I hadn't noticed that list on PTC web site.  Thanks.
