Also the fairly new Rivers Casino is about 20 minutes walking distance from the Lawrence Convention Center, and in good weather it's a lovely walk along riverside paths.

I will be at all 3 this year. The Sacramento one is especially nice for me since for one time I get to sleep all week in my own bed. I might be a bit rested for a change!
But looking forward and very excited to be in Pittsburgh in the Fall.
Table #529 in Pittsburgh, looking forward to the show!

I'll bet RYK already has his tickets. He's hoping Big Ben stays out of prison long enough for the Ravens to thump him. Oh, I forgot....Ben learned his lesson.
Why hasn't anybody here yet mentioned the possibility that the Pittsburgh Pirates could be playing in the World Series right around the time of the ANA Convention? PNC Park where the Pirates play their home games is just down a ways and across the bridge from the Lawrence Convention Center. Heinz Field for the Steelers is a little further on down, and after that is Rivers Casino; you can easily visit all four venues on foot within a short time. And aren't the Pirates a good bet to make it into the World Series after a record 18 straight seasons below .500?

Does anybody have the convention group code for the Westin Convention Center Hotel?
That's the host hotel and without the group rate rooms are obscenely overpriced.

Then Starpoints it'll be. There are some hotels I have no problem with paying $267/ night for but this one isn't one of them.

Don't forget that trip to Boston for the Bay State Show the week before Baltimore.
Lucky for us on the coast if we want to experience the Midwest we can do that by driving east for two hours. It's flat, hot, dusty and it's got oodles of marginal looking gals...

Just booked the room seconds ago using Starpoints. Looks like the hotel still has rooms available but they are charging the $325/ night rack rate.

I'll be helping there. RYK, it isn't the Ravens, sorry. We're playing Jacksonville on the 16th, 1 pm. Penguin hockey games are home that week too, and I'm going to my first ever game Saturday night after the show.
It's coming fast now, looking forward to meeting a lot of you!

There's also a possibility a comet could crash into the Earth. Possible but not bloody likely!
As I recall, the 2004 Pittsburgh ANA was pretty good, and drew a good crowd.

I have been in contact with the ANA power to be and they promise a great show. I would think our host will be ther also.
In fact some of the ANA staff may just be around at the PAN show coming this may 6-8th
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
