The woman and I are going to the Carnegie Science Center on Saturday. I've never been there and it's geared more towards kids but I've heard good things about it.
That's about all I can say. I don't go to Pittsburgh too often.

We will do all those you recommended. I appreciate you telling us!!! I will be looking forward to it. Again, I would love to meet up with a few of you. I will wear my AS gear. Currently I have a goatee (the wife likes it?) and am on the short side of a good work out routine but am not a blob either. So if any of you see me....hunt me down.
I want to meet with some of you as I feel it would be a great way to improve the site...just listening.
Talk to all of you soon.

Hey guys! I'll be there. I was at ISA back in 2004. It's a fun town. One thing I would recommend is eating at one of the Primanti Bros. restaurants. I'm from Philly and when you visit you go to Gino's or Pat's for steaks. In Pittsburgh you go to Primanti Bros. and don't forget to get the Iron City Beer with that unbelievable sandwich.

I'll be there.
We try to make it a mini-vacation, so I'll be there with the wife and my 2 sons (7 & 12). They get a kick out of all the equipment on the show floor.

Not bringing the kids but they would enjoy that. I would get wore out chasing them around.

The kids like trying to collect souveniers from the booths on the show floor and they've lucked out in the past by being given Vermeer hardhats off the banquet tables.
While I'm in the conferences my wife take them site seeing around town.
Last time I was in Pittsburgh was '04 for the ISA and my little guy was still in a stoller . . . jeez time flies, before you know it he'll be buying us rounds at the bar

Have you ever seen so much tree gear in one place at one time?
I have a few photos, wish I had taken more. I swear, though, there were booths wall-to-wall. The Sherrill booth has swollen to 1/4 acre and I saw more innovative products this year than any other TCIA I've been to.
Given the excellent lineup of speakers this year, that Pittsburgh is a beautiful city on the river, and the weather was just crisp and perfect, I just had the best time I've ever had at an Expo.
Let me get some of those pictures together.
