If free beer isn’t your thing, how about free cupcakes. This Friday, March 26 – Dozen will preview their new summer cupcake menu with a FREE cupcake tasting party at their Lawrenceville location. You can find info about all 5 Dozen locations here – http://www.dozencupcakes.com/
Dozen cupcakes sells cupcakes and lots more – including rice krispie treats (a personal favorite), cookies, brownies, brunch and more. Currently Dozen is in the lead on Boring PGH’s cupcake poll – Dozen vs. Coco’s.
Often times museum employees “are artists who dedicate their days promoting the artwork of others and their nights & weekends creating artwork of their own.” Curators Laura Mustio and Nicole Rosato celebrate this fact with a new show, Behind Our Scenes, opening Friday night from 6-9PM at SPACE (812 Liberty Ave. in Downtown). Rosato herself is the Visitor Services and Volunteer Coordinator at The Mattress Factory, and the artists are all employees of some of the most well-known Pittsburgh cultural institutions: The Carnegie Museum of Art, Oakland; The Mattress Factory, North Side; The Andy Warhol Museum, North Side; Fe Gallery, Lawrenceville; Future Tenant, Downtown; Wood Street Galleries, Downtown. The show runs through February 13, 2010. Read a guest post by curator Nicole Rosato over at The Mattress Factory’s blog!

In less than 48 hours the IheartPGH community helped us raise the first $500 for the Steeler Bar Tour!! Thank you Pittsburgh! Thanks to a tip from a reader we learned that JetBlue ended the All-You-Can-Jet Promotion last night. We were able to purchase the tickets just before the promotion expired.
We still need some more sponsors for the tour and I have set up a new widget with ChipIn. Give $10 we will add your link to the blog roll, $25 gets you an IheartPGH t-shirt or tote, $30 we will blog about your blog/website/project/organization. Other ideas on how we can work together – please let us know!
Updated: the ChipIn widget just wasn’t working out. We have now added a google checkout shopping cart to the site – check it out on the Support IheartPGH page.
Let the planning begin: We need your help to find the best Steelers bars we can get to for the month of September! Please keep spreading the word and leaving suggestions.

I don’t usually blog this early in the morning, but I stopped by to see if anyone was tweeting about our National Steeler Bar Tour and I stumbled upon something a little more important than Steelers bar in the land of Pittsburgh pop culture. More important that Steelers Bars? Yep. If you have been following the burgh blogosphere this is big – I saw that @JanePitt had new avatar and at 7:05 am she posted a link to a brand new website.
PittGirl aka JanePitt was the anonymous author of popular and hilarious blog – TheBurghBlog for over 3 years. IheartPGH has been a huge fan of JanePitt – I was interviewed by the Trib about her blog coverage of the super bowl.
The website has a new name ThatsChurch.com (don’t worry all of the Burgh Blog Archives are there) and JanePitt is now blogging under her real name Virginia Montanez.
I wasn’t sure what to write about all this but after reading the about page on ThatsChurch I wanted to make sure everyone saw the end paragraph…
I love Pittsburgh. If I could pick it up, wrap my arms around it, kiss it on the forehead and tell it I love it for all its faults, I so would.
