I like the idea, but just a heads up that Pitt plays Notre Dame at home that day too (an 8pm game)

JoelMcCracken• 17 years ago

I'm down.

bk• 17 years ago

I'm interested. I'm (stuck) in the Cranberry Twp area - in case anyone's there as well and wants to carpool.

jwb1192• 17 years ago

i might be able to help you out.. would be coming in from cranberry as well. still trying to figure out if i can make it though. feel free to hit me up at [my HN username]@gmail.com

mtomczak• 17 years ago

Sounds like fun. I'll be in for that.

How do we know where to find each other?

edw519• 17 years ago

If you see a table full of cool guys and hot women eating, drinking, laughing, and having a good old time, that won't be us. More likely, we'd be the table of 8 guys trying to figure out the best beer bargain on our iphones.

Seriously, we usually try to get one of the tall 8-seat tables near the front door. We probably won't be hard to find. Just in case, you can email me in advance and I'll give you my cell.

I'd be there but I'm going to be at the Pitt game.

I'm interested but can't commit to being there. If the meeting happens though, I may attend. Maybe it would be useful to setup a twitter list of HN users in Pittsburgh? My Twitter username is sjstrutt.

That place is so awesome.

cpr2• 17 years ago

How about some other place? That place gives me the creeps.

Sharp Edge?

(Being a church-goer, it feels blasphemous. (I know, I'll get downvoted wildly. It's OK, go ahead. ;-))

I remember when the diocese "de-commissioned" the church when it was sold. Many local Catholics were very upset.

sjs3823• 17 years ago

Boo, sharp edge. Haha. How about some place with super cheap drinks? Dee's Cafe on East Carson? I think it's on the 1400 block.

bcostlow• 17 years ago

Considering the number of breweries founded or run by Roman Catholic religious orders, I can't think of a better purpose for a deconsecrated church.

On the other hand, upvoted for honesty in the face of certain derision.

cpr2• 17 years ago

(Brian, is that you? ;-)

Yes, you're probably right. Nothing wrong with breweries or beer from a Catholic perspective--in fact, much right with them--but the way they converted it is creepy, putting the big tanks right on the old altar.

I'm told it was the only viable way to save the building. It was going to be torn down. It's a beautiful place - I'd rather see it turned into a classy brew house than razed.

Now, if they turned it into a strip club - THAT would be creepy.

billturner• 17 years ago

I'll try and make it, but it seems unlikely, with the Pitt game and other family obligations that weekend. It would be nice to make it somewhat regular though, as I'm sure I could make others.

jsolson• 17 years ago

If someone happens to be having a similar meeting around Christmastime, I'll be interested. I'd love to meet the hacker folk from my hometown (in Atlanta these days).

jaaron• 17 years ago

I'll try to be there.

rms2• 17 years ago

Glad I sold my Notre Dame ticket. See everyone there.
