Sunday
We'll start at Station Square Sunday morning. If needed, big hat carmen will transport coolers from Station Square to PNC. The deadline to have your cooler at Station Square is 10AM on Sunday. You can also bring them to Station Square on Saturday night if you like.

We’ll head to fanvan's tailgate party ** via the Gateway Clipper or floating tube ride *. The policy specifies that NO COOLERS are allowed on board the Gateway Clipper. My understanding is that you can buy 6-packs of beer from local bars and take them with you.

* I'm bringing a wetsuit bag full of lazy river tubes for a possible float party. If conditions are suitable and we can find a boat to pull us at idle speed, we will float along the river to PNC. There are 6 single tubes and 2 double tubes in the bag. Space is limited to 9-10 people (unless you bring your own tube).

** Fanvan is bringing an RV and tailgating in one of the General Lots.
Everyone is invited! (BYOB)
Call the hotline on Sunday for the location (214-512-9439)

What time is everyone planning on going to Margarita Mama’s tomorrow? We’re going to arrive in Pitt around 3pm and will be ready to put a few down, fo sho!! Since I’ve never met any of you – here’s a quick description of what I look like – I’m pretty short plus I have short dark hair, dark rimmed glasses, floral earrings (not sure what else I’m going to be wearing yet! That may be it with enough drinks in me! JK!!). I can’t wait to meet everyone!

We get to the airport at noon, hitting the Incline for lunch, checking into the hotel, getting to the party around 3-4PM...

I've got dinner reservations downtown at 7PM, but other than that we'll be at Station Square...

I won't be able to get our cooler for drop off by 10am, but now I'm thinkin I drop it in the river underneath the Roberto Clemente bridge attached to a lobster buoy for pick up at a later time....Maybe the armada can aim for it as they tube toward the show, although with all the pirates in the area my riches may be pillaged..

Weather sounds perfect, a bit hot, but nothing a few Caronas won't fix! I'm ready to go!!

I've heard Primanti Brothers Restaurant is a must-do in Pittsburgh. There's a 24-hour location downtown but they've got one at PNC as well;
http://www.primantibros.com/

We might check it out before getting on the shuttle back to Station Square...

I'm waiting on a report to get this project done...the guy was supposed to have it to me an hour ago. I told my boss I would stay until it was finished

Mmmmmmm.....Primanti's....yes, there is one at PNC and yes, you have to try it. I recommend after the show. Nothing better than Primanti's after a...well, a whole weekend of drinking in this case

Mr Play · Post by **Mr Play** » June 24, 2005 5:31 pm

He's not going to have this report ready for another hour. My boss said "it can wait until Tuesday - go have fun."

YABBADABBADOOO!!!

So I'm guessing most of you will not be back on BN after tonight/early tomorrow since you'll be heading to Pgh?

I hope you all have fun at the show on Sunday. I am going through Buffett withdrawals right now. It's been 2 days since my last buffett show... Anyway, enjoy the day! Oh, and if you run into Stan the camera man in the parking lot or Rich the sound guy behind the sound board, make sure to tell them that Tracy from GreatWoods says hi. Oh, and say hi to Native Wayne for me too! Wish I could be there... I'll have to wait for the Philly show....
