Git Aht! – Things To Do This Weekend

This week’s Special Edition: The Sienna Miller To-Do List So, Sienna’s having some problems finding things to do while she’s in town filming “Mysteries Of Pittsburgh“, thinks that there’s nothing to do for a girl her age in Pittsburgh. Or as she calls it, in a Rolling Stone interview, “Shitsburgh”. (I’m not sure of the spelling on that. Should it be two “T”s? Whatever, I know the “H” is supposed to be on the end for sure.) Apparently, she’s spending all her time, Cheney-like, holed up in in an undisclosed location, specifically, a somewhat unkempt and disheveled hotel room, occasionally… Read the rest

Tales from the Frontlines: Doorknocking PGH!

So there I was… walking up a hill on the northside, with streetlist and literature in hand, and Susan Banahasky on my right. When there it was! Oh my there it was. We stopped. We stared in awe. Finally, I came to my senses, made an incoherent noise about having a camera, put everything on the ground, and pulled out my digital camera! (Thanks Mom and Dad) Now, I don’t know the people who own this house, and it wasn’t on our list, so I never had the chance to talk to them, but from what I can tell, they… Read the rest

Pittsburgh Cares about Darfur!

I was at the Save Darfur rally in Washington DC yesterday. Aside from the awesome speakers, something caught my eye. A sign rise from the crowd & brought a nostalgic tear to my eye….of course being ever so unprepared, I was without a camera. Much to my surprise that little sign made it into today’s Washington Post Online – (it’s in a audio photo gallery and the only way I could save it was by doing a printscreen so sorry for the lack of clarity!) Go Pittsburgh! and thanks for coming down to show your support. Ed note: A group… Read the rest
