Pittsburgh ANA.

keetskeets Posts: 25,351 ✭✭✭✭✭

Looking ahead to August, is anyone planning to attend the ANA Show in Pittsburgh?? It's practically in my backyard so I'm starting to make arrangements, haven't been to a "Major" in over a decade or any type of show for about five years.

    I attended an ANA there several years ago, maybe the last big show I was at, and it was really good. lots of places to eat/drink close to the show and we had a really good get together one evening at the Church Brew Works. Pittsburgh has a pretty active nightlife and in August during the week there might even be an MLB game to attend.

    I'm sort of pumped even though it's six months away. B)

    I am seriously looking into going to this show. As for baseball, the pirates are home for pretty much all of it. So, I get to go to a new ball park as well.

    I will be there. I'm originally from western PA, and my Brother lives in the area.

    Will probably hit the usual stops, Church Brew Works, Primanti's on the strip. Pirates Tix should be cheap because the owner is milking the team for money to put into his other ventures, not the team. There is also an expanding craft Brewing and distilling scene.

    Yup. It's only a couple thousand miles away.

    Based on the above, we should have many show reports... ;) Cheers, RickO

    Depends non what military school I end up in. Might be stuck in the desert during the show. If not I'll be there set up.

    The Convention Center in Pittsburgh is a bit tricky. The last time the ANA World's Fair of Money was in Pittsburgh, I got stuck in a locked stairwell, and if I hadn't brought my cellphone with me and had the phone number of the connected hotel, I would have spent the night there!

    I shall make certain I use the elevators!! :D

    Pittsburgh is a cool little big town but is geographically undesirable for me.

    Whoop it up without me

    I was there last year for the Spring ANA National Money Show and I plan to make the trip again this Summer for the ANA World's Fair of Money. It was a great show. I will be attending with a business associate and working the floor---buying and talking to dealers. The displays and seminars are great, too! As usual; we'll top it off with a good meal.

    Mark is definitely on the 'short list' of CU members that I'd really like to meet.
