 * Hey guys, Ill explain this as simple as possible:
 * I want to query posts from wp_posts that are from category 3 and have 2 specific
   meta_keys (Area, Activity).
 * I have tried most of the documentation, but need to figure out how to get multiple
   meta_values. Anytime I have used arrays for the meta_value it only picks up on
   the first one. So lets say I wanted to query Golf in Chicago:
 *     ```
       query_posts( 'cat=3&meta_value=Chicago,Golf' );
       while (have_posts()) : the_post();
       	the_title();
       endwhile;
       ```
   
 * OR
 *     ```
       $args['meta_value'] = array( 'Chicago', 'Golf' );
       query_posts( &args );
       ```
   
 * All these do is list all of the Chicago activities.
    Anyone any ideas??? Im very
   stuck and under some time constraints with it.
 * Thanks
