Giant Eagle ~ Other: Good Taste Pittsburgh, Saturday, 11/7/09

[coupongirlie]

Good morning

My friend and I will be driving from Butler County to attend! We went last year and really had a ball. The food samples were great. Does anyone remember the "egg omelete" guy? : )

I definitely think we should wear orange t-shirts to identify and meet everyone.

last year I gave out my cell # and as people got there they called. We pretty much hung out together the whole day. With more of us there, we can just attach ourselves to one or another and have someone with us at all times.

I went by myself last year and only was alone until the others got there.

(I never found one person who called me LOL - she was at a demo and I just couldn't figure out which one she was)

Just got a chance to read this thread! LOL

PB, I actually left really early - so I missed out on the vendors clearing out leftovers :-( But I did win a metal ice cream scoop from the slot machine! And I think my son still has his decorated Smilely face cookies in his room (hahaha, seriously, he's more of a packrat than me!)

I'm hoping to go again this year, but it all depends on the weather and the kids - hopefully all will work out and no one will be sick, and there won't be any snow so we can go! My son (10) absolutely loved it, and now my daughter (3) is old enough to enjoy it more.

The cell phone thing last year was great - I had a very easy time finding PB and it was great having someone to walk around with....and help push the stroller LOL

I'm going to call my mom and see if she can get the day off - she loves going to stuff like this!

:sad: The only orange T-shirt in my house is a Philadephia Flyers Shirt.... I can't wear that! That's just....WRONG! (Don't ask why it's here - just blame my future BIL who's a Philly native. and DS#1 who has a twisted sense of humor... )

I'll make it easy for everyone to find me. I'll be the one in the #29 Fleury T-Shirt, with the Pgh Pens Hat, jeans, flip flops and I'll be pushing a blue and beige stroller with the baby wearing a #29 Fleury Jersey and jeans . Oh and we are both blonde!

This does sound like a great idea!!!! I think it would be fun to run into people from on here...I should see if I could catch a ride ( LOL...Mayanfire....do you have room for 1 more)

FYI - The Monroeville Convention Center is the old Wickes Furniture store next to the Radisson (which last time I drove by was in the process of being torn down). It's across from K-mart & Borders book store. It's Not the expo mart, but very close.

That was me!

Maybe we'll have better luck this year

We should make it a contest - everyone has to try and find you

Wow, lived in Pittsburgh all my life, just a 90cent turn pike drive away from Monroeville, and I never knew about this! Thanks! I'll try to be there!

Well crap. I will be in Beaver Falls in October. I used to live there, now live in Orlando so driving in Pittsburgh isn't a problem for me! Actually I'll be coming to Pittsburgh, taking my son to see the town
