Howard Gobioff

[gwen]

The DJs for Ceremony on Saturday have graciously allowed us to gather there
in honor of Howard that evening.  While he was in Pittsburgh, Ceremony was
his favorite place to go and dance, and it seems appropriate that we
remembering him with music and dance.  I will also be bringing a board and
pushpins for sticking memories of Howard onto: If you knew him, please bring
a picture or a memory written on some paper to stick to the board.
