Thanks for the tailor advice. You've got to look sharp to go to your events!

At 11:07am on August 3, 2010, Stevie said…: Thanks!

Yes! I'd love to blog about my move (which I'll probably be doing anyway haha)

I already love Astoria for the little pieces of it that I've seen, so I'm sure I'll discover a whole new world once I move.

Thanks again for the compliment on my blog, means a lot!

At 3:34pm on August 1, 2010, Nick F said…: Hey, Ran.

Thanks for putting the chat room back up, if only temporarily. I'll see what I can do stirs things up. But I have to admit, I'm not much of a motivator. :D

Thanks!

At 12:13pm on July 30, 2010, Nick F said…: Concerning the chat room, booooooo.... I feel like most people didn't know it was even there. Like it was buried. Plus, when you were in there, it was hard to tell if people were in there or just somewhere else on the site.

Oh, well. I'm sorry to see it go. It was a nice in-between to just seeing what's around the site here and meeting people in person.

Hope to meet you soon! I need to get my butt to a WLA event already! Thanks.

At 10:10am on June 22, 2010, Dan said…: Hey Ran - Have been crazy busy with work, wrapping up the half over the next week so I should be able to get back to what I do best - the bars. Sidebar - Don't know if you've made it over to Mad Donkey on 36th Ave yet, but I'd recommend it, decent prices, good food, and free peanuts. Can't beat it.
