This is how we do it…!

Enough about Rhyme Cal…how bout the afterparty (in front of the Rhyme Cal
room)?! DJ Huggy was spinning some of the classic hip hop hits… You
should’ve seen the look on the cleaning guy’s face! Hey…they had to know
what would happen if they put piles of shredded paper, free alcohol, and
music in the same spot!

…ever seen Mac dance?! Looked like he was having fun to me! Again…this
is how WE do it!! We are all about having a good time as long as we are
getting the work done! (And there is PLENTY to do!) Ya gotta love this
work…

“East of Liberty” screening in the League office!

This was a great film, and we had a great crowd (thanks to everyone who
came). With bootleg stadium seating, Pittsburgh beer, homemade food, and
a mixed crowd…it was the perfect setting for a healthy discussion.
Which mostly took place after the event. (Be ready for Part 3!)

Great Job Chris!
