Dear Pittsburgh-area bloggers:
We’re trying to schedule the next BlogFest. We thought we’d have everything in place by now, but it has been devilishly difficult to plan things right now at our normal location, Finnegan’s Wake.
I’m told this is because it’s baseball season. Apparently people like to go to Finnegan’s Wake before, during, and after baseball games, and thus the staff are unable to answer the phone. Or maybe they’re all training for positions on the team. Either way, we’re having trouble reaching them to reserve space.
So, we’re still working on it. Look for a real announcement soon. The event itself will most likely be on a Friday evening in May when the Pirates are playing away.
The tiny person pictured here is my newly minted niece Rachel. She’s a mere few hours old so I haven’t had much chance to influence her little life. So far she seems to be mostly sleeping, perhaps to store up energy for all the fun I plan to throw at her.
I would like to live in
