Any thoughts,
experiences about Pittsburgh?
I do remember walking the streets of Pittsburgh after my last show at Club Cafe (which crazy enough was ALSO with William Elliott Whitmore!) and it was St. Patrick’s Day. Everyone was drunk in the streets and some lady was on the ground crying and had shaving cream all over her face.
Thanks, Samantha. Yeah, Pittsburgh on St. Paddy's Day is kinda crazy. I usually try to steer clear of anywhere even near a bar.

Favorite concert ever?
Dr. Dog in the 200 capacity Barn at Pickathon Festival outside of Portland, Oregon in 2009. I was actually sitting on the stage it was so crowded.
