-=== It's Questionable ===
-:'''Question''': Hey, didn't you also meet some Mondays at [[Blitz Pearl]]?
-:'''Answer''': Yes. In fact we met at [[Blitz Pearl]] on [[Backspace]]'s [http://dorkbotpdx.org/ Dorkbot] Mondays because the Botting Dorks were a bit noisy. But hey! [[Blitz Pearl|Blitz]] is a sports bar, and as they got busier and their sporty TVs blared more loudly and distractingly, we decided to opt for the quieter confines of [[Powell's Technical Books|Powell's Technical Bookstore]] on Monday nights. Obviously we don't blame [[Blitz Pearl|Blitz]]; noisy TVs are an integral part of sports bar "fun."
