steel & glass city

Pittsburgh is very much under construction. Glittering glass and steel edifices such as this stand next to buildings that've likely been there for a hundred years.

home of the buccos

As a kid, I went to Three Rivers Stadium a few times. It was a lot of fun as a baseball-loving kid, especially because it was before the birth of my hometown Florida Marlins. Since then, the Marlins have been founded and won two World Series titles. Pittsburgh has built a shiny new ballpark, but hasn't won a pennant or a trophy in the meantime.

andrew warhola

In Pittsburgh last Saturday, she and I went to the Andy Warhol Museum. It is seven floors of absolutely awesome. It pained me to keep my camera in the bag for my visit; however, rules are rules, and I don't want to give photographers a bad name. I was restricted to shooting on the first floor where there was a timeline room that laid out Warhol's life for those like me who were largely ignorant of it. On my next free weekend at home, I've been inspired to take some photos a la Warhol, much like my Monet-inspired tangent this summer.

bachelorhood

I've been to a few so-called "beer pubs" in my day. Some of them have quite impressive lists. Ones that shall remain nameless that don't live up to the hype. Others that do, like Stubbie's in Gainesville. Due to interesting ABC laws in Pennsylvania, I went to a different breed last weekend for my cousin's bachelor party. D's Six Pax & Dogz in Sunnyvale, just outside of Pittsburgh. Great selection, and if we so chose, we'd've been able to take a six-pack to go. I'll never understand it.
