She's been gone for hours and comes tra la la la ing back.  Ha!  Now she wants to take my camera so she can photograph a painting of a crane.  I think this is going to cost me money. A few more action shots.  Hugh McGough charms the camera.  The scene from our neck of […]

So we moved around the corner.  Ledcat is prowling around looking for great photo opps and I'm getting used to the new digs.  I actually commandeered an Information table so I feel official.  Officially what?  Who cares! Court of Common Pleas Judicial Candidate Hugh McGough just walked by and is being positively swamped with supporters […]

The featured artist of the event is Scott Ward, creator of “American Gayothic” which is just awesome.  Scott is from Seattle and is a lovely man.  Our great friend Kerry Kennedy will be carrying a line of Scott's notecards in his Northside shop, K.S. Kennedy Floral so even if you are not in the market […]

We made it just before the skies opened up!  I was hurried along to my table by the very organized PR crew and am now settling in to absorb.  Ledcat went in pursuit of refreshments to fortify us, but she's already been waylaid by multiple persons so it might be awhile until I get some […]

This promises to be fun.  Tonight, Ledcat and I are heading out to the annual Celebrate Life, Celebrate Art auction to benefit Persad Center.  From there, we'll be liveblogging about the auction and the art and the people and all that good stuff. I have an official press perch near a stairwell somewhere from whence […]

Readers. Here's a bit of shameless pandering.  I am searching high and low for raffle prize donations.  Can you help?  Any item large or small — a candle, a CD, a tee shirt or mug promoting your company/organization — all will be put to good use. My program is sponsoring one of Pittsburgh’s few vegetarian […]

(My mother-in-law gave me this tip at our Mother's Day lunch as it hasn't yet made the Pittsburgh papers.) From the Sharon Herald (largest paper near the college) comes word that John Gechter will be permitted to graduate with a GCC degree.  In a deal struck with the college, Gechter must complete his two remaining […]

You may have heard about the new movie OUTrage which explores the controversial practice of outing LGBT elected officials and staffers who want to have their cake and eat it, too.  In other words, they work diligently to oppose full equality in their legislative guise, but still live the gay life — be it enjoying […]

  Sunday, June 21, 2009 the Indigo Girls are back in Pittsburgh and the Lambda Foundation has just announced an exclusive “meet and greet” backstage with Emily and Amy.  Tickets for the meet and greet are $35.00 and will include the opportunity to have a photo of your family taken by a professional photographer.  Tickets for […]

Mayor Ravenstahl is getting some heat for supporting Anthony Coghill in the District 4 City Council race.  Coghill did not receive the endorsement of the Allegheny County Democratic Committee. Huh.  I've heard rumblings that the Mayor is “disappointed” he did not receive the endorsement of the Steel City Stonewall Democrats.  Other rumblings suggest that there […]
