Who's going to Pittsburgh 6-23-09?? List started

[karat]

Man i missed alot, sorry HEY ALL. Well I'm back from vacation and have to go back to work, BLAHHHH . So i have been just trying to catch up with the Fine BNers. Well no matter if I get tickets or not I WILL BE THERE. But I have a tread on 2 Lawns so I should be good. This year we really need to get together before and go in together. That would be great. Well the only one that I saw last year at the concert is Karat. and i still don't know how the hell i did that one. well 4 more months to go.

FINS UP!!!!

Everyone knows me

Now thinking about it, I have no idea how I came across you! I have my photos of who I saw last year on FB...
alaura1974, Joeybagadounuts/JOJO, Big John, Karpro, Marty, Caly, what's-his-face-that-does-the-whole-pirate-get-up and I think that is it!

Talked to many on getting in the lot, laura was in the wrong lane ; but I got everyone in early!

Hi alaura! I hear ya! We had a few nice days last week, but now we're back to "Still Winter".

(It's an old joke, but the saying goes - the four seasons in Ohio are Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction! ). Just signed up for Karat's phone list...hopefully I'll actually get to meet up with all of you this time! Will there be a Jello Shot exhibition again this year?

ya, we actually have that same saying here in Buffalo............ lol~

jello shot exibition........... ??? Probably!!

Can someone tell me how far this is from the University Blvd Holiday Inn? We have confirmed reservations there but would LOVE to see Tom again (our bus was right next to his concert at the tailgating last year). Not sure I would want to drive between the two places since I'm not familiar with the area, but may taxi it, if taxies are readily available in that area. (Sorry, from Ohio, just go to Pitt to play.)

[karat]

They are not far from each other like 10 minutes or so ....I know you can get into the Buffett Man party for about $10-15...to BYOB, Tom and food...just get a driver!
