...Steelers style. To my delight, we scored some late and free Steelers tickets yesterday afternoon. Late as in...2pm when there was a 4pm start. We got back from Seven Springs just in time to get the call and pick up the tickets. What a game to attend...a record crowd of 64,737 people...and boy did we see a game. I'd rehash the game, but i've already overloaded myself with countless post-game broadcasts and morning papers...so if you're excited to know, check out nfl.com, I'm sure they've got the goods. Steelers fans are definately belligerent...I pity those that took it upon themselves to enter Heinz Field and support the Patriots yesterday. A little good-natured heckling is acceptable, but i definately saw a beer can hurtling through the air aimed at someone wearing a patriots jersey. Not necessary kids. But anyways...
Pre-Steelers game I was up at Seven Springs (and oh what a beautiful day to be there)...watching Jake race, and catching some of the College downhill championships. Those guys did some sick jumps...though if I suited up in armor like pads, I may well go flying off large boulders as well :o) Some of them weren't even that large, thought i know things looks a bit more daunting from a bike's eye view. Friday night we found ourselves at "The World" (formerly "the Rosebud) to see the Poogie Bell Band and the Boogie Hustlers. It was a jazz/jam/funk filled evening. The Boogie Hustlers really blew me away. To see a mid-twenties, corn-row sportin, red suit wearin singer wail this brand of funk transported directly from the 70's was electrifying. It was just the kind of get down, get happy, and damnit, get funky kind of music you should have on a friday night in the strip. And Poogie Bell, well, those guys are phenomenal. I didn't do anything too Halloweenie this year. We went to a Halloween Party at the bar on Saturday night, but didn't dress up. I wasnt' in a super Halloweenie mood. Amusingly though, a fella approached Jake and I and asked what we were trying to portray. For a second I was kinda like "huh?"....then the whole Halloween thing hit me and I assumed he wanted to know what we were dressed as...which was nothing. I told him, "Uh, we're just ourselves"....to which he replied, "Really? Very cool" Perhaps it was the bright orange sweater and blue vans that seemed to indicate I was dressed as something or other...and Jake had a run-of-the-mill tye-dyed shirt on. So together, we were quite colorful. I thought it was funny that we somehow astounded this man in our "ourselves-ness".
