I won't be there until Friday, and it may be just me, as I think Mr. Kipper's classes start again on September 8. That said, I'll crash with my parents and get points for visiting with them for a bit.

I'll join at the DT though it looks like their are only rooms with 2 double beds remaining for Fri & Sat nights. If anybody wants to split to share costs, let me know by PM. I'll probably decamp to the Hyatt near the airport for Sun night since it's only 5k points.
Also who is Vacant that's joining for dinner Friday? Depending on flights and timing I may just try to meet you at the restaurant while dinner is happening since my flight gets in at 3:45 so not sure how much time to allow to drop off bags and get to dinner/ballpark.

Overall it seems we have a group that is more social and not die hard baseball fans.
I've reached out to the group sales desk, and I'll be purchasing our tickets in the next 24-36 hours. We'll be sitting in the Infield Grandstand at $20 each. So please make any necessary changes to the wiki above pertaining to attendance to the game before I ticket. Thanks.

I'm not going to make it in for the Friday activities. I'll likely arrive late on Friday, as I'm not going to be able to duck out of work early.

Saturday
With the Nitters in town for the Pitt game, parking & traffic will probably be even worse than usual in the Strip District. I suggest using Uber, which unfortunatly, stopped their self-driving car testing in the Burgh.

I can't speak for the pancakes, but, I will say that, the coup'la times I've eaten there - - - <I only live 10 mins from there, and, the house I grew up in, which I still own, is a block from there> - - - the service has been my major complaint, particularly during weekend brunch hours when they don't seem to have enough help, and the tables that need cleaned just sit there, seemingly forever, with tons of used dishes with food on them. Hopefully, on a Friday, it'll be better.

I've finally booked hotels. beckoa I'm going to be bringing you $20 for the game + the ~$50 I owe you from OzFest since none of our attempts at using new fangled 21st century e-money transactions worked Would you like payment in USD, Alaska $, Strong Zero, or a combination there of?

Quick tip about paying Beckoa back - he considers Costco cash worth 200% to the USD...

Does blackberry messenger have a cash transfer mechanism or does it still only transmit salt and precious metals as a medium of exchange?
