Yes, this location met the criteria of 1) serving food, 2) having
a sizable meeting room, 3) being within our budget, and 4) being
handicapped accessible.  I honestly didn't look into the transit
issue, figuring it would be served as it's on a major highway.

I live right next to the Castle Shannon and Willow Avenue T
stations and am willing to offer rides from there to the meeting.
Anyone can e-mail me if they are interested.  If others are able
to offer rides also, please advertise that fact at
<http://www.wplug.org/wiki/Meeting-20101113#Carpooling>.

Please do what you can to promote the meeting to members and
outsiders alike (HackPittsburgh has already put us on their
calendar).  As far as I am concerned, the more members who show up
to vote, the better.  Thanks!
