This week’s episode brought to you by ScareHouse, Slice on Broadway, and Alex Kahrs Design & Media!

Sorg, Chilla, and Katie are in studio this week as Beechview celebrates National Night Out just up the block. This week's topics of discussion include:

Katie brought a friend this week!
Katie is sharing Waze as her Awesome Thing of the Week - because it's been lifesaving for her.
For those who HAVEN'T seen it, there was a train derailment in Pittsburgh - which is one of the reasons Katie is so thankful for Waze.
Chilla is also giving a shout out to the City of Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Port Authority for being on top of things.
Another awesome thing Katie and Sorg use Waze for? Speed zone notifications. Sometimes it's hard to see those signs, and it's helpful.
Chilla is sharing the Sennheiser Memory Mic as his Awesome Thing of the Week.
Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week is a Windows Pro upgrade.
Bonus to Windows Pro = Remote Desktop!
Creation Labs is opening in the Pittsburgh South Hills!
The Pittsburgh Current has a nice feature - with some information about our friends at Sorgatron Media.
Sorg got an e-mail DIRECTLY from the MoviePass CEO, guys!
Parents are hiring Fortnite tutors for their children.
Fortnite added motion control on your mobile device?!?!
Tesla is adding Atari games to its cars - including Pole Position (using the car's steering wheel)!
As if ziplines aren't crazy enough, let's add a VR component to it!
Chilla found a very nice Logitech wireless charger - after he already bought a different one. *womp womp*
Will you be in Pittsburgh this weekend? Stop by Steel City Con and say hi to Katie at the ScareHouse booth.
