FWIW- I started a "meet posters" thread on the main board. Figure we should get together between games.

There's a Primanti's concession inside Consol. Now that's likely to be a busy spot between games. But maybe that could be the meeting point and we could fan out from there.

Just tossing out the thought here; feel free to use it on the D-1 Board if it strikes you as a good idea.

Sounds like an easy spot to find- I started the thread over there since some may have not thought of looking here for a meeting of the posters.
 
so I am in South Station waiting for my train and I see an old (and I mean OLD) guy wearing a BC sweatshirt with a windbreaker. I arrive in Philadelphia and am waiting for the elevator and I notice the guy in front of me is.....walking.....very......slowly.... The elevator finally comes and he gets on and I get on and he turns around and it's the same guy, except now he's also wearing a BC Hockey cap. I smile and say, "I bet you're going to Pittsburgh." How did you know? "Just a guess." I walked across the station with him and helped him decipher which train was ours. There was a lengthy line but since I'm disabled and he is ancient, I found us a red cap and we were able to board early. He's rooting for Lowell since BC isn't there. I told him BC couldn't go every year or it would get boring. He laughed and laughed. If the people I meet on this trip are even half as nice as this guy it's going to be a great weekend.

That was something I truly enjoyed last year in Tampa. I couldn't tell you the number of people I struck up a conversation with just because I was wearing my SLU jersey. Hopefully Pittsburgh has a similar area outside the rink for fans to congregate beforehand.
 
Re: Going to Pittsburgh

Has anyone seen the time lapse footage above Pittsburgh last night? It was gorgeous with the skyline all lit up by the lightning. Absolutely beautiful.

I had fun once I got here. The first cabbie took me to the wrong hotel. The second cabbie also took me to the wrong hotel. My hotel sent the shuttle to pick me up and put me in an executive suite. That'll work!

Certainly a different town... Really blue collar environ... Reminds me of all the features of various CMass and other NE towns put together into a major city.

I'm in the strip district right now working on breakfast.

Jen and I walked to Pamela's for breakfast. Long walk, but worth it. It's muggy out today.

Is the strip district where they put the strip clubs? If so, say hi to mookie.

Watch out. He's a plant, an actor. BC pays that guy every year to go to the FF and act all sweet and non-trolly. Don't be taken in!!1!
 
I'm at the Souper Bowl across from the CEC. Once again people see my USA jersey and assume it's Lowell. Not that I mind this weekend...
