I live in St Paul in the Midway neighborhood, near University & Snelling. It's nice because it's in a pretty central location that a lot of people go by on 94. I don't mind meeting people at a half-way-ish point that is convenient to them. I would just be a little cautious about accepting rides from strangers- though I've ignored the proverbial kindergarten advice & done it plenty of times (I've only had a problem once when I had a guy invite me to his hottub!)

Hi Mary! Sounds like we have a lot in common. I was thinking of going to one of the Chic Chats too (which one can't remember) but the bus ride was too long, particularly for only an hour long mtg. Will mention that to the organizers if it's an issue again. What kind of games do you like to play?
