    I don't think that it is right to take MartinaFest away from Keith. He has been organizing this for 12 years!

    Nothing is being taken away from Keith. Here is what Heidi posted earlier in the Martinafest thread from the Main Room:

    "Just to set the record straight on this one. Whenever Martina comes to the Pittsburgh area, a large number of fans attend. If you look at the sign-ups, we have 30 as compared to much lower numbers at other shows.

    Several of us were talking about getting together for dinner before the show. Kim and I decided it would be nice to include anyone from the board/fan club who wished to attend. We started this thread: http://www.martinamcbride.com/forum/mainroom/253051

    As you can see, we started looking into a restaurant to accommodate a large number of people.

    I did ask Tracy if there was a possibility of resurrecting the pre-concert parties. We had a few of those last year, in which someone was chosen to be the host/hostess. That person organized a get-together and I believe, Tracy sent some items for the party.

    As of now, the only thing that is known is we are meeting for lunch. Tracy will be in attendance and we'll be having a full afternoon of fans, food and a party at the restaurant."

    Would love to to be there as well. Hope by the time Martina tours to promote her album, she will be closer to here, I am envious and very happy for all of you. Enjoy, can't wait to hear the reviews.
    Would love to meet you all.

    Once again, we are not taking anything away from Keith. We are simply having our own party here in Pittsburgh with mostly local people and a handful of people coming in from out of state who were planning on attending the concert anyway. Anyone from the fan club, however, is welcome to come! If you would like to attend, however, we need your RSVP no later than July 24th, provided there is still room.

    Seems something must have happened that they shut down Keith's annual get together....may not be related to the Pittsburgh concert although that was the reason Keith gave for not having his.....one time a year and this year it's in Pittsburgh I believe it said, something to that affect.

    If it looks like a Martinafest, and smells like a Martinafest....I'm guessing there will be meet n greet opportunity of some sort. :) Better bring some gifts for the birthday girl!

    I think social networking has changed the way fans organize pre-concert get togethers. Use to be we only had e-mail and the forum to communicate with each other online. There was probably time where face to face talking was the most frequent way for fans to talk to each other.

    I've edited the original post to include a map of Station Square and the phone number of the restaurant. The map is printable.
