thanks very much for the thread!
As some of you may, or may not know, the GPAA is the Greater Pittsburgh Axon Authority. We currently have 2 members, possibly a third, who will be trying to cover 12 calls at 3 locations, plus 2 crew calls, on Sunday.
WE NEED HELP! The timing of the calls will keep us from being able to be at all of them, running back and forth between phones.
If you are in the Pittsburgh area at all and want to help out or have never even answered an axon before, drop me a line and we'll see what we can do.

Blah. I was really hoping to get out there this week. My car was broke, and finally I had enough money to get it fixed, so I took it to a shop on Thursday. They sent me to another shop because they couldn't fix the problem. I get a call today that the part that I need isn't common and it will have to wait until Monday to be done. So no Sunday axons for me... I'll be stuck at home listening from here.

I'll be at the Best Western calls at 11:05, 11:20, and 11:25pst. Maybe I will come back for some others later.

for the 11/4 calls, DeltinaWildfire and I will be on our way to a training exercize. Someone else want to step up and finish off Pittsburgh right? I can give you maps/directions to the axons if necessary.

Ah, my car's now fixed and I can make a few axons before it's all over.
Is anybody else planning to hit any of the Pittsburgh axons this week?

I'll try I'll try my damndest to get there.
I'm gonna try for the one in Millvale.
School and lack of a ride kinda restricts my choices.
See ya there. Hopefully.

Damn youth Oh great.
Now Millvale's gonna be tough for me cause I don't really have a ride or money for a bus.
As for the Waterfront DVD, I should have a ride but it's gonna take convincing on my part. I'm gonna try, can only hope I make it out there.
If anoyne wants to offer a ride leave a message here or on aim:loco chocobo44

2/3 hot axons in Pittsburgh today.
I showed up at the Best Western axon about 15 minutes early just to be sure I got it. I was waiting in the hallway when one of the desk clerks walked by. She mumbled something like "Waiting for your phone to ring?". I nodded and smiled politely. Then a few minutes later, one of the administrators walked passed and smiled, then I guess she realized what I was doing because she turned around and said "You know, I hope you don't plan on bringing a group of people again. This has got to stop. I can't have a bunch of people hanging around outside of my office every week." Ouch. =P I told her it would just be me today, and that this will probably be the last week we'll be answering that phone.
So the axon rings and I pick it up, recorded message, and I head off to catch the 12:01 axon. Everything went smoothly there, enhottenated it, and then I got a call from home saying I had to come back. So due to personal matters, the Liberty Ave axon was left cold.
All in all it was a fun first day. Now I have to go running around until 8:15 when I'm heading to the Waterfront for the DVD. I hope to see some other beekeepers there. Anybody going?

I still don't know if I'm going.
Does anyone know what we're looking for?

I'm going.
9:46 PM.
I went.
I got the dvd.
I realized I don't even have an X-Box and there was no point in my going.
Sucks don't it.
