Re: Pittsburgh
Aloha Parrotheads!
I haven't been to Pitt in several years! There used to be a Holiday Inn that had a pool party, Buffett impersonator, etc. the day before the show. Anyone know if they still do that and which hotel it is??
Fins Up!

Re: Pittsburgh
My in-laws live about three miles from the venue. I'm really hoping I can swing this one, hopefully changing jobs soon and may be tough to get off three days mid week for one show.

Re: Pittsburgh
FYI it was not at Holiday Inn Express - at least not my Club's party... see the post above
- the hotel is being renovated this year and we are all together.
Look at FB for other details: Tom Watt - Buffettman or Pittsburgh Steel City Fins

Re: Pittsburgh
We are thinking about making the Pittsburgh show our annual "Buffett on the Road" trip from Colorado. We have seen Jimmy all over the country, so it seems like it was time for a Pittsburgh show. Can anyone tell us about tailgate requirements for a "Big RV"? Also any recommendations RV Camping in the area. We have been told to try and avoid Bennett's Acres because of the issues after the show with getting back into the campground.
We are members of the Colorado Parrot Head Club. It would be great to meet up with the Steel City Club.

Hello,
I was thinking of buying a VIP parking pass this year. Does anyone know if the pass will let me through the gates early? Please help. Thanks
