I live in wexford and want to go, but I need a ride. D:
hey issac, talk to stang he might be able to hook you up with a ride he lives up that way too
Eeek!! I don't have anything ready!!
Oh well, it'll be fun anyway!!
(replying to my own post LOL)
I am laughing at myself for the grandiose plans I had after AC last year, concerning costumes I was going to have made for this year. Hah!
To paraphrase Rumsfeld, "You go to Anthrocon with the costume or fursuit you have. It's not the costume or fursuit you might want, or wish to have at a later time."
hahahahahaha someday I'll have that bat fursuit and mermaid costume and the three variations of Dragonfairy and the Black Cat/Red Queen suit... but for now, it's gonna be the same old same old Dragonfairy!! (okay, well actually I do have two versions of Dragonfairy. And I do have the prototype bat costume which I wore for Halloween last year, it's not bad...)
But the main thing is... it's gonna be FUN!!!!! Can't wait to see you all!
If I get a car before AC I'll be going this year. I'm driving there everyday from Beaver County.
Got a room at the Westin as well. Going for a safer version of what I did last year (this time I can catch a nap in my own room instead of outside/ in the zoo).
Hope to meet up with many furs (local and otherwise) there. Drop me a line when you want to meet up.
well i know myself and mother are going took a little price break and are staying out of downtown...but either way its gonna be fun....
A fur stayed at a super 6 last year rather cheap, it was outside of the burgh, but only a 10 min drive.
theres a super 6?? all we have is super 8 here and motel six.....is super 6 cheaper? Anyway do you know how parking went for him? thatsmy primary concern of driving to cons.
My bad.
Super eight.
Motel 6.
This is where he stayed.
Motel 6 Pittsburgh - Crafton, 211 Beecham Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15205
i am staying at the quality inn in University Center. got a deal through travelocity. and its at most 4 miles away from the convention center.
How're you going to get to and from the con each day? Bus or driving? 'Cause parking downtown is pretty pricey.
actually, maybe it isn't as bad as I thought. Here's a nifty interactive map, click on the garage/lot and see what the rates are. Looks like the surface lot on Smallman is a good deal, and it is close tot he convention center. http://www.downtownpittsburgh.com/parking/parking-map
was planning on driving in. my mothers car can be folded up and put in her purse when not in use...if not parking prices didn't seem to bad although my only worry was availability each day im there
Why not look into public transport each day i think theres a busto near by?

hm, any route from his hotel to con would involve a transfer, a lengthy ride, and a decent walk... at $3.00 per person for ride + transfer, each way, it'd be cheaper and easier to pay $8-$10/day to park.
yes would definitely be cheaper just to park. plus don't have to wait for the bus or worry about missing transfers and stuff.
No, it was a decent idea, Hitorione. I just wish we could say that Pittsburgh is a city where it would make sense to hop on a bus or el train or subway to go 4 miles from the bustling university center to the busy downtown and convention center... sadly, Pittsburgh is not such a town 
Now see I will be riding the bus into town with my fur suit on why It will be awesome to ride the bus with the outfit on than walk over to the con with the outfit on. yes people may think i am freaky but you know what I am a freak so why not lol. I raide the bus now with my outfit on anyways
hmm i havr to stop making assumptions about cities i thought it was setup likie philly or baltimore with a rail line near there convention center (for tourist and commutors)
Speaking of it being quite soon. Still looking for a place to stay for the 3 days. If anyone has room for 2-3 people, I would love you for life. but if not thats fine. Probably just rent a motel semi-close and park near the con. 
2-3 oh so you found roomates? pm me info i can kick it to my friend fan she has a all female room so that might be a prob(it wasent planned to be one just ended upp that way)
wOuld anyone have room for one person in thuer room during the con it would be crash space only thurs through sat this is the first con I been too
*points to link for those looking for crash space* http://www.pa-furry.org/node/2205/flighty-friends-free-space
nice me and draw6bd are going but were staying at the doubletree
