Hey this I'm editing this post 8/30/11, and will edit it as new info is available. Currently we are looking at holding future Barcrafts for IPL 3 and MLG Orlando (both sites TBD).
The first event was a huge success and I'm looking to build on it in a BIG way. I have an e-mail circulating regarding everything Pittsburgh Barcraft. If you would like to receive it, (and future info) PM me your e-mail. I will NOT spam you with tons of e-mails.
For information regarding the last Barcraft and what's happening for the next one:
1) Keep checking this thread
2) Stay on top of the Reddit post (listed below)
3) Join and like our Facebook page (listed below)
4) Questions/Comments/Help PM me!
I will be especially active on Facebook FYI
Here is the official Barcraft Reddit Post
Facebook Page

I am going to school there this fall and I have a bunch of buddies there who are into watching Sc2 and would possibly be interested in checking it out
|
I am there! Along with several others according to the reddit link. Pittsburgh has so much going on and it's good to see that SC related things will be happening now.
|
I am also in the pittsburgh area, and really liked the concept of barcraft when it first happened. I can commit 2-4 people to it if only we knew the location/time.
Kudos to you for heading this.
|
I'll be going to school in the fall as well. Would this be 21+ or would an 18 year old be able to take part? If so, I'd be very interested.
|
i am 5 minutes from downtown pittsburgh. sounds great
|
The event will be at The Smiling Moose
1306 East Carson Street
Pittsburgh, PA
From 4PM to after Finals. I will find out tomorrow about the whole under 21 thing. For more information check out the link I have in the OP. As I said earlier, I would like to be able to get a rough estimate going in to this. So check out the reddit post and "RSVP" there. Or here I guess lol.
Bring fellow nerds. Let's get this town hooked.
|
How lucky am I?
I am moving back to Pittsburgh on the 28th, and on the 29th is the first BarCraft?
Hell. Yeah.
I am RSVPing, will most likely drag the girlfriend along with me. Maybe a nerdy friend or two. 
|
Do we have a rough estimate on how many people are going? If we got like 20+ I'll probably come down. I don't want to come down if there won't be a decent turnout since I live 30 mins away.
|
Lxirawr...the finals are on the 28th, so that means you have to come straight down! Corrick, if you check out the Reddit thread, it looks like we will have 20+ if most everyone shows up. I know I myself will have at least 4 coming. Come on down, be a part of Pittsburgh E-Sports history dude.
|
The Moose is an awesome venue, if you're in the area get down there
|
I don't go to reddit. I'm really on the fence about it. If I find someone willing to go down with me I will. Just kind of hard to ask randomly for someone to go to this kind of event.
|
Big in Japants, did you find out about the under 21 thing?
|
Excellent, I've spent a whole lot of time in the moose back when it was strictly a metal/punk-rock bar, I love that place. And ill be in town on sunday already because of the Magic Grand Prix that is going on. I'll see you folks there (I dont do reddit so i wont be posting there. )

Unfortunately, the Moose is a 21+ Establishment, They rarely open up events for 18+ given PA's Draconian liquor control board laws.
|
OP needs to edit his OP to get the word out that this event is happening.
Not just being thought about.
Now that this thread is longer than 5 posts, someone interested may think "I don't want to read all this" and then they would never know it was happening.
|
Aparantly there is a thread tracking all of the barcraft events for MLG Raleigh, and this is listed in there, im not 100% sure though, i havnt found it... my friend at work came up to me and mentioned that they were having one at the Moose and said he saw it there, so hopefully..
He also posted a separate thread mentioning this was happening, but it got closed, the mod said to put it in this thread, mebbe he didnt see that?

Hey sorry to back-seat-post, but I really feel that you need to make edits to your OP to make this more informative to anyone who finds this and wants to attend.
Please just edit out the part you posted when you started this. They are not helpful. The first thing that needs to be seen is: "Barcraft Pittsburgh Is A Go!"
Then list the date, time, location, ect.
You may want to link to the bar's website so we can view the menu. I am sure the cost of drinks will be a determining factor to a lot of people.
You want to explain the setup of the bar. How will the viewing be done, what should we expect. A post in this thread is making me think our nerdy bunch will be looking pretty silly next to a bunch of punks/metal heads (not that I care, but, looking in, we are going to stick out like a sore thumb  ). Is this true?
Does the bar have any specials?
If the rule is 21 and over, come out and say it. Don't say to press your luck.
Anything else you can tell us?
Again, don't want to backseat post but I am a concerned fan, wanting to have this happen.
|
I agree with your points, like I mentioned I'm a noob poster so I am still finding my way around the proper procedures. I will include everything you mentioned. Seeing as how you seem pretty interested, and like you know your way around this kind of stuff, could you create a Facebook page? I think there should be a place we can all belong to and that I can update without having to spam these threads constantly.
