December is usually the rest season for the Pittsburgh Sports League. Never Fear! The good folks at the PSL have cooked up Wednesday Night Trivia to get you through the holiday season. Word on the street is that this is tricky trivia. Grab some friends and head on down to Buffalo Blues for Trivia Night.

Charity Gaming Event This Saturday
Looks like there’s lots of fun charity events this weekend. If your interests fall more towards electronic entertainment, I’d recommend dropping by Gamers Give Back. All proceeds from the tournament and sale will benefit the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Take a look at the prizes and items for sale if you’re planning on coming, there’s lots of good deals on holiday presents there. And if you can’t make it, consider donating directly to the hospital by buying something from their wish list.
When: Saturday, December 1st, 2007 from 5-8 pm
Where: CyberConxion @ 1710 Murray Ave in Squirrel Hill
Help A Pittsburgh Blogger Support MDA
Doug Derda, more commonly known around the Pittsburgh blogosphere as Father Spoon from Should I Drink That is working to beat his fundraising goal from last year for the MDA. Should I Drink That is an excellent podcast that is popular here in Pittsburgh and with beer drinking fans beyond Pittsburgh. The Should I Drink That guys have done a great job with their podcast and they do a great job supporting local businesses.
I have had the opportunity to get to know Father Spoon and Sick Puppy from PodCamp and from some of the beer festivals around Pittsburgh. I think they are awesome podcasters and Pittsburghers and I happy to help Doug support the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Doug is trying to raise $2000 by the end of November (yes, today). I hope you will visit his fundraising page and make a contribution.

Even if you can make a $5 or $10 contribution, please contribute and help spread the word.
