I was just clicking around some other Pittsburgh blogs and found this gem of a site le sonique – there isn’t a whole lot of info about Jeffery on this site but that is okay. He seems to like Pittsburgh and he likes music and he looks like he is having a heck of a good time in this picture on the website so that is enought for me.
Check out the cover song contest – his rendidition of Kelly Clarson’s is definitly worth a listen (even if you aren’t an American Idol fan).
Jeffrey (or anyone can answer this) – are there any popular songs about Pittsburgh that we could submit to the cover song contest?

Show your support for the STEELERS! It only takes 5 seconds & end world hunger
Go to http://www.chunky.com/clickforcansvote.aspx and vote for the
Pittsburgh Steelers! This year, two NFL teams will earn donations of
Campbell’s soup to the food banks of their choice. For the team with the
most clicks, Campbell’s will get the stats for all the players on the
team’s official roster and donate the team’s total weight in cans! So
far, the Green Bay Packers remain the undefeated Click for Cans champs
will they stay on top, or will they get a run for their money this year?
It’s up to you! Take a moment and click and pass it on to others to
help fight hunger in The Burg.
Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails
LUPEC – Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails is another group that has recieved national attention but origionated right here in Pittsburgh. Look out for a LUPEC event at a bar near you.
From the LUPEC website…
LUPEC Mission Statement
In a post-millenium world of beer and prepackaged Chex Mixâ„¢, LUPEC works tirelessly to breed, raise, and release cocktails that are endangered or even believed to be extinct.The collecting of anachronistic recipes by women, and the resulting creation of endangered cocktails in an all woman setting is intended to achieve the following goals:
o To create a secular “coven-like” atmosphere in which Classy Broads of today can invoke and honor the spirits of their Forebroads
o To continue the 150 year American tradition of dangerous women calling themselves Ladies and getting together in groups, clubs, and societies to work undercover while they chipped away at the patriarchy.
o To protect the collective Joie de Vivre of LUPEC members by assuring them at least one good party a month
o To encourage the accumulation and use of vintage serving and barware.
Sweet Sweet Scott Baio comes to Pittsburgh in “The Bread My Sweet”
The Bread My Sweet is a delightful little film made right here in Pittsburgh starting SCOTT BAIO. First of all this is a nice little film, with beautiful shots of Pittsburgh. It was filmed at the Enrico Biscotto Co on Penn Ave in the Strip District. If you weren’t already a fan of Scott Baio from his “Charles in Charge Days” this movie will win you over.
