Got Hertz Priceline for $22. The Rangers actually won a game last night. The Pirates charged their own mound the other day(or something like that). My new Rangers shirt is ready. This will be FUN.

The cheapest way would be to steal the ClueMobile, which will be camped out in extended parking while its owner is overseas http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif.</font>
I'd have to pay to get it out of the parking lot though ... of course, if I'm stealing a car, I might as well just drive through the fence to avoid paying parking while I'm at it ... I'm sure in the end that would be much cheaper than the bus, especially when you count the 3 hots and a cot the State of Pennsylvania would provide for 6-12 months for free. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Here's something else going on that weekend at the airport:

http://www.wingsoverpittsburgh.com/

It's the military air show that happens every year (third year now) on airport grounds. The website doesn't have a lot of details yet. If you are are arriving or leaving PIT that Sat or Sun you will probably see them as you land/take-off.

BTW I'm thinking I'll probably go to this on Sunday ... anyone else interested in going?

I might end up overnighting in downtown Saturday night, and if that was the case, I would also go on Sunday. I'll let you know at the game.

Wow, I'm actually going to meet USAirways fliers (I met chexfan, but now he's &lt;blech&gt; a United flier) ... so what will be the crisis by the time we all get together? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

First, I still have some baseball tix left for Saturday night. If anyone wants some more, please speak up quickly before I start passing them out to the in-laws and the out-laws.

There are only going to be about 10 of us there. The event didn't turn out to be as popular I thought it would. Perhaps it was too many baseball gatherings or folks don't know a nice city PIT is.

In any case, it will be a fun weekend. There's lots going on with the Pittsburgh Air Show on Saturday and Sunday. Also, the Three Rivers Arts Festival starts this weekend and ends June 23rd. There is plenty of art on display and lots of free music. Leon Redbone is giving a freebee concert Friday evening (6/22) in Point State Park at 7pm.

Does anyone want to get together for a drink Friday evening?

We are arriving in PIT at 5pm and will be renting a car. If anyone is arriving in the same general time period, let me know and I'll give you a ride in.

Also, who all is staying where? I know some folks are at the Wm Penn and we are at the Renaissance both nights.

ClueByFour wasn't in town, so it was a small get-together. But I enjoyed meeting everyone else (and re-meeting TribeFlyer) and it was a good time, even though one bad team was playing another bad team...

TOOLMAN Jun 24, 2002 8:46 am

Hello BillMorrow, TribeFlyer, Applefan, Beckles, PitFlyer, and Frequent Freak. I enjoyed meeting all of you. Best I could tell, a fun time was had by all; even the Pirates fans. Appears the Rangers finally someone that they could beat. Special thanks to BillMorrow for putting this together. I still owe you a beer.
