Well that was fun. We actually won a game which I guess is a bonus. There were two types of teams there, ones having fun and ones who were very serious. We happened to play three of the latter in four games. As the kids say, whatever. My team had fun.
Pittsburgh CC did a nice job with the ice and the hospitality. The hotel was okay but a bit of a drive although the advertised DUI checkpoints were not a factor. We either took the shuttle or had a DD. We also made our way back and did most of the late night partying at the hotel. The club does not make anything from the bar as it is run by the ice facility. So no reason to drink late at the club and then drive.
Made a couple of side trips to Pittsburgh proper as well. Hit the Oyster House and Church Brew. Both were good and worth the trips. Never did make it to Primanti Brothers even though there was one across the street from the hotel. Maybe next year.
Would like to go again. Not sure the weekend of the 4th is a great time for the event but they have to live with the schedule of the ice rink.
Now we are home for about 10 days and then off to the wilds of Canada.
Later,
JH

As a member of the Pittsburgh Curling Club, I can speak for everyone here that we are thrilled you had a good time and are planning to come back next year. We all enjoyed having everyone in town and playing, and as soon as we have our own dedicated ice, those bar prices should come WAY down!
Look for event photos on our website soon: pittsburghcurlingclub.com
See you next season!
