Pittsburgh ANA show Friday dinner!

OK, on Friday Aug. 20th, I would like to invite everyone to join us for dinner at the Church Brew Works!

My wife and I made some phone calls about doing reservations, and, after talking it over with some forum members, have decided the best way, (according to the people at the Brew Works), would be to all meet there at a given time that evening and go in as a group!

There were way too many hoops to jump through to do it any other way!

They have assured us that they will be able to seat a fairly large group together.

It has been suggested that we all meet there at about 7:30 PM and go in together. This would allow time for those that have tables at the show to get closed up and get there!

So, without any other really good way to do this, lets hear from anyone that wants to meet there!

I will bring this to the top periodically with the names listed that want to make this happen.

The link to the Brew Works contains directions to the place and also menus so you can have an idea of their food selection.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I am still working on the logistics of being able to go to that show, and I can be there for the dinner if I make it. One thing I need to do is find out if there is anyone who can share hotel expenses with me. PM me if so, I am going on very little budget and really cannot afford it overall, but I know I need to go to see clients and sell the book. I would also like to get to meet a lot of the folks I have been conversing with for years on the internet and have never met in person.

    I guess the pukers get to ride in the truck bed. They have first crack at sitting towards the sides or better yet, hanging off the tailgate.
