The weekend is on the way though..... as long as I dont drink as much as I did last Friday...... not good.

Hey everyone! Long time reader/visiter of this site, first time poster. Anyway, my gf and I are deciding to go to the Post-Gazette Pavillion concert this year. This will be her first Buffett concert and my second. We'll be coming down from the Rochester/Buffalo area. Anyway, I was wondering if there were any special events in the parking lot that we could partake in -- my other Buffett concert I went to was in Toronto and I got there a little late so I didn't have much time to tailgate but the kindness of everyone there blew me away -- total strangers were actually inviting me to drink and party with them and I knew then that this was a group of people I wanted to belong to. I am a huge Buffett fan -- I have all his studio releases and live releases and thankfully have sucked my gf (hopefully soon to be fiance

into the world of J.B. and his music and just thought I'd try posting on here to try to find something fun to do before the concert in PA. Thanks everyone!

On Sunday some people are going to a place in Orchard Park (Buffalo suburb) to see that Sauce Boss.

Then if you look in Karat's sig line there is a link for some other things there..... pre concert party on Monday at the Holiday Inn (check link to see which one) and the an all day tailgate at the Post Gazette. We usually go at around 11 am and stay all day.

Toronto tailgate isnt anything like Pittsburgh..... you will be surprised.
We were in Toronto, came in a limo from the Buffalo area.

Me too! <sigh>

Work, baby, grandmother passed away a few weeks ago, the baby almost here, and Jo always being unconfortable now that the baby dropped, I'm ready to see my son and then need a day to relax.

Joey - I'm so sorry to hear about your gram!!! Today (well techincally tomorrow at 12.30a) my gram passed away a year ago. It was a nice day like today. Went to the cementary and thought about her all day. I cannot believe just a year ago she was living here with us. Norm (my youngest dog) will be gone this Aug 27 a year, right after gram....

OKAY no more sad stuff!!!! We have a new keet coming into our flock and a party to be had!!!

I am about half an hour or so from Orchard Park so if you could give me some more information about that I'd greatly appreciate it! I also sent you a Private Message.

I am checking out Karat's site right now and it looks like a lot of fun! I definately want to be apart of all this fun and have the ultimate J.B. experience! From what I've read on the boards and what a couple people have told me, I will be completely blown away by how different Pittsburgh will be from Toronto. I hope when you say I will be surprised, it's in a good way.

One thing I defaintely did want to ask is what should I bring down with me? I just want to make sure this is an incredible concert and especially show my gf why I am so into Jimmy Buffett. Also...will I be treated with open arms since I'm a "newbie" and an outsider? lol.

Thanks for everything!

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this message

We have a bus leaving from the Cleveland area for this concert. 25 of us on a 55 passenger bus (with bathroom etc.) Therefore there is about 30 seats available

If anyone is reading this from the Cleveland area and needs transprtation please e-mail me. The cost for transportation would be $50 each which also includes all you can drink canned beer, hairy buffalo, pizza and full DJ in the parking lot. Departure from Cleveland is at 11am and we would return back around 1am
