Any thoughts, experiences about Pittsburgh?
Spent about 4 hours there two years ago! Arriving at 9pm at the deserted Greyhound Station on a weekday in the thick of winter. Rushed and took two wrongs buses to get to the 8 pm concert in some coffeehouse in some distant neighborhood whose motto said on a board "Work, Shop, Worship". Had a great time eventually! Never got to sleep there though as I had to take a bus to Chicago the next day.


Thanks Boris. Hope you have more time to spend in Pittsburgh this trip. I really dig your DIY ethic and look forward to the tourfilm!
