The Watering Hole

[Neo]

does anyone else here have a problem on UP around 2:30am eastern time? I'm just getting to bed over here in Phoenix, which is three hours behind. Always around that time, UP slows to a crawl, if it loads at all. Is that like a standard maintenance time?

Maintenance does run during this time however we are diagnosing what may cause it to be inaccessible.

thanks Neo it makes more sense now.

So your proclamation of moving downtown is prior to your actual securing of a place to live?

Hey, when you make a commitment, the rest is just "fine print".

Very true.. i did hear there's a large waiting list for 1br's at the globe.. in case you hadn't checked into it yet.

[gvsusean]

My 100th post!

I know, small number for some of you.

gvsusean,

Congrats on making the move downtown. If and when I sell my house I plan on renting somewhere downtown until my Condo is finished

I'd love to live downtown if I could find a place that's cheap and not in a bad area. But even that wouldn't happen until I'm done with college.

[twoshort]

not in a bad area.

Do you really want to start that debate?

what do you consider expensive?

[gvsusean]

if your a poor college student (like myself) you can get an apartment for only 430 a month for a 1 bedroom!!! right in the city center

[MJLO]

yes GR, compared to other places, is cheap.

[gvsusean]

we should start a more creative/original (to the usa) festival here in gr. I was thinking possibly Queens Day, its celebrated every april 30th (in honor of some dutch queens b day) in the netherlands. Its a huge fetival of drinks and concerts and everyone wears orange its is ALOT of fun.

Really!? That's what I was paying for a 1-bed near the airport...

*rubs chin thoughtfully*

[MJLO]

I think everyone from Gr should post pictures of themselves, so I can put names with faces. I know they have a thread for it in the big room, but noone uses it.

[Rizzo]

I bet there will be a hard core group of users to not post pictures for fear of ousting and one group that will show.

[twoshort]

Did anyone catch the news coference on Hoffa?

[Allison Slater]

Wewt, I just found out Radio Shack has an Amp for $250, and Speakers for $150 each... just within my price range. I'll be purchasing them Saturday Morning if all goes well.

If anyone needs a cheap DJ..... ;o
