Calling all July 29th Pittsburgh concert attendees!

I posted a comment on the "tour" page and several of you have already DM'd me, but I figured that I should start an official thread about this topic. As you may know, there are currently almost 30 (yes, 30!) fan club members attending this show! I thought it would be really fun to try to get as many of us together as possible before the show for dinner.

The show is scheduled on a Friday night, and anyone that knows Pittsburgh (or any larger city) knows the traffic jams that can ensue during the rush hour, especially on a Friday night. Heidi and I have been looking into booking a restaurant for us to dine at- right at Station Square, the location of the venue -so we can be parked and eat there well before show time, and not have to worry about getting stuck in traffic.

There are many restaurants there, but some can be rather pricey. We've looked at all of the choices, and we have narrowed the field down to a couple of options:
1) Book a dining room just for those attending the concert and have a "banquet menu" that may run around $25 a person. (This includes drink, salad, baked pasta, main course, and dessert.) This is, unfortunately, necessary for a group this size-including our guests-but there is most likely no hall "fee."
2) Dine on our own in smaller groups at restaurants of our choice.

We'd definitely like to get your feedback on what you'd like to do! We're also still waiting to hear from a couple of places, but would love to know what you're thinking at this point. We'll post any additional information that we get!

In case you're interested, here's a link to some of the restaurants in that exact area.
