Wolfepack Goods is Good Good Good (and the event is Friday)

Sometimes bad things happen – really bad things happen.  Earlier this year sisters Sarah & Suzy Wolfe were murdered in their home in East Liberty.  Out of the sadness, an impressive group of Pittsburgh artists have gathered together to put on one AWESOME art and rock show to raise funds to establish the Sarah & Suzy Wolfe Scholarship Fund at Girls Rock Pittsburgh. This is just a big bundle of Pittsburgh goodness – a great group of Pittsburgh artists, who are coming together to create a great event and raise money for a really great cause.  I have the honor… Read the rest

March Madness and April PULSEations

Back in March, a group of Pittsburgh bloggers organized a March Madness bracket challenge – we all agreed that each blog would write a post about the winning bloggers favorite nonprofit organization. Kate Stoltzfus (aka the brains behind the blog Yinzpiration) had the winning bracket and her nonprofit of choice is PULSE.  I am more than happy to write about PULSE as I think this is one nonprofit that has been quietly making a big impact on some Pittsburgh neighborhoods and is well positioned to continue to do more for the city. PULSE stands for Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience.  … Read the rest

Sept 15 – Event & Raffle to Support Cyclist Who Was Attacked Last Week

I don’t know if you saw this story in the news last week or not – last Wednesday a cyclist was violently attacked by a driver on the South Side.  Please take a moment to read the story in the Post-Gazette here – they have released a description of the driver who has still not been identified. The cyclist, Colin Albirght, has been in the hospital but he will be okay.  I have seen some photos of his injuries, I don’t think it is appropriate to share those with out talking with him first – but shocking is not strong… Read the rest

The Mattress Factory, Museums and Parties

I just returned home after a visit to the Carnegie Museum of Art for the Culture Club. As much as I love blogging about museums here in Pittsburgh – I had not been to the Carnegie in at least a year.  It was great to see the new exhibit – Biennial.  And another great thing about tonight’s Culture Club – is that the museum was open for free. Pittsburgh has great cultural ammenities like museums – and thankfully they are open to everyone for free for different events through out the year. Which brings me to the Mattress Factory.  Another… Read the rest
