I plan to do further scouting while in Pittsburgh to see the Braves play the Pirates on Mother's Day Weekend, which is why I pushed this meet into May.

Not the first meet to be held in that area.  There was a SWPA meet 2 decades ago at the Quaker Steak and Lube in Cranberry (which no longer exists).  IIRC, it was held to show off the then-new Cranberry Connector.

I voted May 31 but really any one of those dates works for me, just have to take off that Saturday and good to go

I'd like to go off the board and vote for June 28 because the Mets are in town that weekend.

In all seriousness, I don't have a preference.  As much as I would like to attend since I missed out on SWPA25 last year, my attendance would be dependent on my job situation and other necessary arrangements that would need to be made.

June 28th is currently winning the poll for Brandon's Springfield, IL, meet.

As much as I'm excited about the idea of going out to Pittsburgh again, I'm also about to start a new job where taking a lot of vacation in the near future isn't in the cards.  Maybe I could manage to squeeze it in if it's Memorial Day weekend, but otherwise I'm afraid that I won't be able to make this one work.

I wanted to go to this but I'm having surgery on 5/21 so it's super unlikely.

I decided to go with May 31st for this meet.  As much as I wanted to go with May 17th, my dad turns 70 that weekend so I really should leave that weekend open.

I am very much still open to lunch/dinner suggestions.

I should be good for that day, nothing going on with my other hobby, not sure if the wife will be with me or not. Been many years since I spent any time on that side of Steel City

[tckma]

<strike>Has the date been set for this one?<strike> (geeze I need to learn to read the topic...)  I need to get out and explore that side of my new state.  And by "new," I mean I've lived here since 2021, so not so new anymore.
