President Bush was in Pittsburgh today. Yeah, missed that one.
Barack Obama is coming to Pittsburgh tomorrow. He will speak at Soldiers & Sailors Hall, which is right next to Pitt’s campus — but tickets sold out Wednesday. At least that’s what I heard. So I’ll miss that one, too (but I’m sure to witness the streetside chaos).
Junot Diaz will be here Monday. He’s speaking (reading?) at Carnegie Mellon, but I’ve got class — and I’m presenting — so I won’t be able to make it to see Diaz, either.
Anthony Bourdain is also going to be here Monday. He’s sold out the Carnegie Music Hall, and even though I have class, and I’m presenting, I’ve got a ticket. I’ll make it for the Q&A, dammit. I can’t miss everything.
yes, Obama! love your site, thanks for the update.
