    ......aaaaand after the original rescheduling to avoid Hong Kong my parents' Asia cruise is now officially cancelled. They're still going to try and do the week in Japan and the week in Hawai'i that weren't cruise-related. TBD.

        I have not been there, but it's gorgeous. Friends from here that have been said you will enjoy your time and won't have any issues as long as you don't wear any Whioux gear.

          Whioux gear inspires fear worldwide.

          But you can continue to wear it in the privacy of your own home.

              I'll be in Pittsburgh in early July for the ReplayFX gaming convention and the Pinburgh pinball tournament, which is one of the largest tournaments in the world!

              Tickets to the main tournament sold out in under 35 seconds, so I'm pretty geeked I got in.

              Any Pittsburgh must-sees? I'll be downtown just across the river from PNC Park (wanted to see that, but I checked and the Pirates are on the road that week.)

                Chinatown inn is across the point off the blvd. it is owned and run by ming na wen's family

                if you get a zipcar, go to kennywood.
