Message-ID: Hi everyone, I was wondering whether people would be interested in a social outing this Wednesday. There's a trivia night at a bar/grill in Shadyside starting at 9pm and going until 11: http://www.cappysonwalnut.com/ You form teams of five and collaboratively answer questions, competing against the other teams for, I imagine, gift certificates. I have never been, but the trivia nights I have been to at other places have been pretty fun. So we could go, get some beers and/or food and try it out. Let me know if anyone is interested. If there is sufficient interest, we could form multiple teams, and if it's fun, we could do it again sometime. Cheers, Roman PS: hoping for multiple "PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM THIS MAILING LIST" responses here. On Mon, May 2, 2011 at 9:47 PM, Michael J.
