I know for sure which of my buddies and brothers-in-mischief are NOT making it to AC this year...consider beers raised in your honor in advance...so now I'm checking to see which ones officially will be visiting my little hamlet over the July 4th extended weekend.

This will be a crazy weekend as it's the 4th and my mom's birthday, but I should be around enough to visit with most folks who swing through. And maybe I'll kidnap a car-full of you and show you there's more to Pittsburgh than the 3-block convention center area.

As a bonus, I was supposed to tend bar at Leather Central that Friday night (and was going to coordinate a van for suiters from the Westin to my place), but The Pup has swapped shifts with me, and given me the night off. As such, I'LL be the shuttle service to/from my bar for anyone who can bear to separate themselves from downtown and the Tonic chaos for a couple hours and much, much cheaper beverages. Suiting not required, but my patrons would definitely encourage it. LOL

Drop me a note here, or text me if you have my cell. If you are coming and want my cell, send me a PM. Cheers.
