ParrotheadJen,

Nice to see another person who's new here. I joined last year, but as you can see from my post count, I haven't been here much and just came back.

Geeze, page 55 of this thread and I'm just now jumping in. Guess I've waited long enough to join in. The Reefdiver gang will be there on Saturday albeit smaller than in years past. Back in the day(when tix were easier to get) we used to have almost 30 of us together, now we're down to 6.

Not really sure what time we'll get there since we're going to be going the "back way" because of the parkway shutdown. Should still be there by 1:00 ish tho. I never did order a BN name tag, so if a guy comes up to you wearing (probably) a Capt. Tony's shirt...that'll be me. Lookin forward to meeting (not meating) some of yunz guys.

edit....page 56 now.

I'm going to try to have all my packing done tomorrow, or at least most of it.

I think I better come up with a reason why they should let me have Friday off, since I still haven't asked for a vacation day. This is kind of late, even for me.

Do you need to be tested for TB just to be on the safe side after your flight from France?

Good morning

A little news I heard this morning on the news (KDKA). Larry Richert came on as he always does to give a little whatever from the KDKA radio (www.kdkaradio.com) station. The contact page:http://www.kdkaradio.com/pages/16216.php

Today was about Buffett:

StarLake is really getting the news out there as follows:
Parking lots will NOT open until 4pm
No Ticket - sorry 'you can't come in!'
You are NOT allowed to park along Rt18 to wait for the gates to open
You will NOT be allowed to bring into the concert area: Digital Cameras or Picture Phones.

Out of the 3 the last one is ticking me off...since if you go on StarLakes website http://www.livenation.com/event/getEvent/eventId/255968 it says digital cameras are allowed on the bottom of the page under permitted items, but about is says no.

What to do now? My hands are tied I have tried my contacts. There is a help page on this website, then click to email a question. I guess could write to Post Gazette too (www.post-gazette.com), who owns the Pavilion.
