He said he will keep all pricing the same as the past 2 yrs. Call and reserved your rooms 412-788-8400 and talk to Dave and make sure he knows you are coming to our annual party.

We are coming in from Cleveland, Already booked some rooms. Is this the place where the Steel City Fins rents the buses for the ride to the concert? If so can out-of-towners buy a seat?

Maybe, but maybe not. Last year there were two separate parties: one that was organized by Tom Watt (at the Holiday Inn Express), and the other that was sponsored by the Steel City Fins (at the Airport Holiday Inn). Both offered the shuttle bus option. Missy (from the SCF's) will be posting information as it becomes available. Both parties were a good time; a difference was that one was outdoors, and the other was indoors. (Maybe they will be together this year?)

TT - Thanks for the info

Other than religiously checking this thread (which I guess I am guilty of), is there any way I can get updaes on the rooms/parties/busses? My email is cindabee@aol.com.

I will talk to Missy tomorrow.... Usually everyother year they team up together. The outdoor is more fun, which is where Tom Watt will be.

Yes busses load from both places....yes they both sell out, room and busses..

Watch this site faithfully in the next week or so. There will be posts on where the cool kids will be staying, so jump on getting a room there. Usually one of two Holiday Inns near the airport. That is where the busses will leave from, which is an awesome way to get to the concert. They leave around 1 and the tailgating is awesome. That way you can party your phins off and not worry about driving tipsy or navigating unfamiliar roads back to the hotel.
