The Pittsburgh Golf Club

Dinner and Dancing 6:00-10:00

There is parking here, too! You don't get to do it yourself, however. This is a valet mandatory location. No, not that kind of valet. The ones who park your car. Don't expect a rescue from an ill-considered engagement.

But there is food, and music, and drinks of all types, including the types for the adults.

Plan your approach

5280 Northumberland Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15217

By Foot

Climb up through the Bob O'Connor golf course. There is a secret entrance in the back, by the pool. I can't say any more. The entrance police already know too much.

By Glider

The Golf Club doesn't have a golf course, but it is next to one. Look for a fairway. No, not the 18th! It has mounds at regular intervals that will tear the bottom out of your glider! Oh, the humanity!

By Car

Turn from Forbes onto Northumberland and keep driving until you see the valets. What do you mean you ran into a cemetary? You fool! you were supposed to turn UP the hill on Northumberland, not DOWN! Why didn't you use your confounded pocket space map?

Questions about the Party

What, more of this? You told us so much about the ceremony, how long will this go on?

Not so long! This party is easy. Just:
- Show up.
- Eat.
- Dance.
- Do the photo booth. It is de rigueur. Have your picture taken dressed as an old-timey sailing ship. It will be de rigger. Do it backwards, or "flipmode." It will be Rah Digga.
- There will be the hora, where everyone dances in a circle and Teddy gets picked up on a chair and bounced around. It is really self explanatory. Jump right in! If you happen to be a strapping person of great physical strength (or even moderate physical strength) feel free to join in with lifting the chair. You don't need to be asked in advance, just go do it!

And I should wear?

They are calling it "sneaker formal." It means you should sneak in wearing formalwear: see, e.g., James Bond infiltrating a party by scuba diving in with a tuxedo under his dry suit.
No, sorry, I am being told it means dress nice but wear sneakers for ease of dancing.
You can just walk through the door like normal, no sneaking necessary.
