Calling all of you DH Members looking for something new to do!!! Join us this Saturday night, March 29th.
If you reside in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio or Northern West Virginia, you most likely aren't far from Pittsburgh. Or, if you just want a reason to get together with fellow DH Members, come to Pittsburgh and join us!
This is an event planned by The New Me. I'm assisting with plan organization. If you have any questions - either post them here or email one of us directly.
SCHEDULE
DateHookup Night Out at Station Square
Our Tentative Schedule
6:00 - 7:45, Buckhead Saloon for dinner and drinks
8:00 - 8:45, Margarita Mama's
9:00 - 9:45, Saddle Ridge
10:00 - to Close Matrix
(Let's make even more new friends and double our fun by meeting up with another group of folks from a social networking group (not a dating site) at Matrix)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If there's a bouncer at the door, let them know you are with Date Hookup for free admission
(I'm finalizing this early in the week!)
If you arrive at one of the locations late, look for the group of people with the black and gold balloons.
All locations are within walking distance at Station Square. You can park anywhere in that area. You won't need your car all evening.
LODGING OPTIONS
For those planning to stay over night, I suggest bidding on a room using Priceline.com If nothing big is going on in town; you can usually find a reasonably priced room that way. Otherwise, here's a list of hotels not too far away:
Sheraton Station Square
Renaissance Pittsburgh, Downtown
Omni William Penn Hotel, Downtown
Westin Convention Center, Downtown
Courtyard by Marriott, Downtown
Marriott City Center, Downtown
Hilton, Downtown
Holiday Inn Express, South Side
Morning Glory Inn, South Side
The Priory Hotel, Near Town
Hampton Inn, University Area, Oakland
Holiday Inn Select, Oakland
Residence Inn by Marriott, Oakland
Wyndham Gardens, Oakland
Panther Hollow Inn, Oakland
Comfort Inn, Banksville Road
Quality Suites, Greentree
Radisson Hotel, Greentree
Best Western Parkway Center, Greentree
Hampton Inn, Greentree
Holiday Inn, Greentree
Days Inn, Greentree
The Inn on Mexican War Streets, North Side
Spring Hill Suites, North Shore
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
If you are planning to arrive in Pittsburgh early in the day and are interested in doing some Pittsburgh touristy things, let me know. We can arrange something. Otherwise, we'll plan to meet at Buckhead Saloon.
I would love to host a breakfast event at one of our great diners on Sunday morning for the folks nearby or those staying over night but I already have plans early on Sunday morning. Some great choices are:
Brunch at the Grand Concourse, Station Square. Expensive/Dress Code
Pamela's in the Strip District. Inexpensive/Casual/Great food
Deluca's in the Strip District. Inexpensive/Casual/Great food/Usually a line
Tom's Diner in the South Side. Inexpensive/Casual/Great food
Jazz Brunch at Soho on the North Shore. A bit pricey but great food with live Jazz
Hope to see many of you out this weekend!!!

Spoke to Stephanie, the GM from Buckhead Saloon today. Everyone who joins our group gets in free and can have their hands stamped for free admission later in the evening if they decide to return.
I'm working similar deals with the other nightclubs.
Anyone joining us????

TOMORROW NIGHT PEOPLE!!! BE THERE - WE'D LIKE TO MEET AS MANY AS WE CAN. =)
Okay,
I've got the go ahead for free admission to Buckhead's, Margarita Mama's and Saddle Ridge. I'm still working on Matrix. From what I understand tomorrow night is Ladies Night at Matrix and they have some kind of special entry price just in case I can't get us in for free, it will be minimal and they have $1 drink specials for 2 hours!!!
