Good ideas, Brian.  I've e-mailed the Perl Mongers and the Pgh
user group leaders' mailing list about it (copy of text below
in case anyone wants to reuse) to help get the word out.  We
could probably stand to freshen our directions to 3002
<http://www.wplug.org/meetings/one-location?location_id=13>, if
anybody wants to take a stab at updating it with something that
better reflects the current state of construction.  You could
probably just tweak Patrick's Google map to 1507
