12-23-09 fIinal event UPDATE:
Cleveland 20's & 30's goes to Pittsburgh meetup!
Event is now closed to new RSVP's. A waiting list is available if you are absolutely 100% certain that you want to go. Cost is approx. $50.00 per person for the hotel and includes full breakfast on Sunday).
Event itinerary and information:
Hotel: SpringHill Suites, North Shore District. 223 Federal Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15212. Hotel is located next to PNC Arena (Steelers Stadium, the new casino, and the Andy Warhol Museum, which is a district directly across the river from downtown and the Strip District.)
Hotel info: Hotel has onsite parking for $18.00 daily. Street parking (like Cleveland) is free and easy to find on the weekend. There is a Steelers game Sunday so traffic may be heavy on Sunday afternoon. Hotel has an indoor pool/jacuzzi/sauna open 9am-11pm and many members stated they plan to use it, so bring your swim gear. Hotel has onsite restaurant/bar called SoHo. Hotel also has a free full breakfast buffet on Sunday morning. Hotel is giving us an 11-passenger shuttle van anywhere in the area until 2am. It covers all zones except Southside, which we'll have to take a taxi or drive to. Walking distance to downtown and the Strip District, just across the bridge, literally.
Room #1 : Derek's room: Derek, John, Tabitha, and Derek's 2 friends, +1 more spot is left.
Room #2 : Sarah's room: Sarah, Carlos, Jeannie, Tootie, +2 more spots left.
Room #3 (unconfirmed): Mike's room: ???
Schedule of events:
Most of us will be arriving Saturday between 1-2pm. Someone suggested lunch at the SoHo in our hotel or a nearby establishment. Then check-in. The Andy Warhol Museum is adjacent and a possibility. Once everyone is in Pitts, we can figure out where we're going clubbing at, and when. My friend Corrin who lives in Pittsburgh is meeting us out for clubs/bars/drinking/partying and is probably bringing some friends. Derek has also invited a friend in Pittsburgh to join us and it is most likely she will have a group of local friends too. I am being told Southside or Lawrenceville are the top 2 places to go. However, we are close to the Strip District, so it's anyone's call at this point! As for Sunday, we can get free breakfast in the morning and do whatever during the day.. since we have no real schedule, anything can and will happen!!!!!!!!!!!
I am driving from Cleveland and plan to leave around 10am to pickup Derek, Jeanie, Gina, and Tabitha. I believe there is a conflict and Sarah/Carlos may need a driver. Tootie is planning to leave Cleveland after work (later than 3:30pm). I have yet to hear from Mike and Abishek on when you guys plan to come. On sunday, I am probably going to drive back mid to late afternoon. ***Don't forget cash for the tolls in Ohio and PA.***
See you all there! Anyone who has questions or concerns, please call me (216) 409-2086. If you're in but still need confirmation, e-mail or call me asap! -John
