LOL...that's OK, cause I'm not a real Steelers fan anyways. When the Steelers play the Dolphins, I still put on my Dolphins jersey, and my wife and kids and inlaws all yell at me.

Hey...under any jersey...we are all Buffett fans!

I'll be conducting some random checks in the parking lot, just to be sure...

Mardi Gras Rules!!!!

Just taking five from loading the car.

coolers, clothes, cds, BN swag, camera & binoculars....


....oh, and tickets.

All is not lost. Some ideas for you:

1. Hit Radio Shack or Target and pick up the cheapest Virgin Mobile pay-as-you go phone, throw $20 on it for the weekend, and you're set. I used to use one of those, before I switched to AT&T/Cingular. This phone appears to be available in at least 4 different Pittsburgh-area Target stores, according to the website, and for only $18. They only take a few minutes to activate, and can even be done online or from someone else's phone.

2. In fact, if you're going to be at Friday night's PH Club party at the Airport Holiday Inn, find me and I'll loan you my old Virgin Mobile phone for the weekend (or maybe even sell it to you if you want it). It's a nice one; it takes pics and everything. Feel free to PM me if you want to explore this option.

3. Hit Staples or someplace similar and get a Trac-Fone. Never had one of those, but they're cheap and should be enough to at least get you thru the weekend.

I reckon (<funny word huh?) with this article, this forum will have more pages by the end of the day:http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsbu ... 13539.html

Take a step back to the last post on Page 56 from me

I see the article, but no forum. Also I noticed that the article included a URL that doesn't seem to exist (www.buffettfans.com).

So, where's this forum?

Unless Karat corrected this for me in posts in upcoming pages here....leave it to the newspaper to make a mistake. I looked back on what I had written & I did say buffettnews.com! I am Linda...with the year round party room!!! I'm going to email him later...but i am sure there will be no correction. Guess our little BN group will keep a low profile. I also gave alot of info about BN & how everyone tries to help each other for various reason...just a few things were picked from my email. We know who we are & that's all that counts. I'm too excited to be upset with the boo boo...buffettfans.com ...oh well

So you're THAT Linda! Pleased to meet you... or at least I assume I will do so this weekend!

and leave at 2:00. So I'm guessing the lots will be open or do they intend
to keep us waiting for 2 hrs along the highway? Now that is a party just waiting to happen! I got the feeling we will all get in before time stated. Was also told a fouth bus...coming from Murraysville will stop to pick up extra people at Holiday Inn. And if we do get patted down before going into the concert....sure hope mine is a guy!!!

I know i've mentioned this before, but since we've picked up some more people, i'll mention it again. I've got one extra bus ticket leaving from the Holiday Inn if anyone needs a last-minute lift.

Warmsugar, Thanks for the heads up. Will be on one of those busses and have my Tiki God balloon. Look for the old broad with the 3 young chickies--from Akron. See you tomorrow or Sat

Good MORNING ALL!!!!!

I hope everyone slept...Forecast for the 'burgh BEAUTIFUL mid to high 70's on Satruday night will get a little cooler

Getting my TIKI GOD balloon at noon tomorrow, plan on hanging it high (bring a good 5-10 feet of light cord or heavy string).

Got my name tag

Not sure if I will make it tonight to HI for the bash. Too many things to do.

Safe travels for those coming in!

I'm not even going to bother with spending more funds on a phone. Probably won't have time to go get one anyway as I expect a full work day today and have to work 6 hours tomorrow before I can go out to Star Lake. Getting one of those BN ID badges from Chippewa, and will be roaming the parking lots. FedEx will be tracing today, driver will have to retrace his steps to make sure he delivered to the right place. If he did deliver here and it was stolen A T & T will replace at no cost to me. I'm sure I'll find a number of people just by wandering around the parking lot.
