Decentralized Dance Party is Thursday night

May. 23rd, 2012 | 08:15 pm
posted by: [info]muscatlove in [info]pittsburgh

For those who haven't seen the news, there will be a Decentralized Dance Party in Pittsburgh tomorrow (Thursday) night from 8 to midnight - essentially a flash mob where you bring or borrow a boombox loaded with batteries, tune into an FM broadcast from the DJ, and wander the streets making people confused and curious. The meetup location will be announced at http://www.facebook.com/events/273496816051952/ sometime tonight, and the hosts were looking for someone who might be able to let them park their RV and crash overnight as of a few hours ago (see the FB page for the post). Maybe it's not your thing, but if it is, all past videos of their cross-country tour look like a lot of fun!

Bagpiper?

Does anyone know of where I could hire a bagpiper for a retirement party?
Just for a couple of songs - say like an hour?
For less than $100?

Thanks!

Beware of street cleaning, this week!

Beware of street cleaning, this week, and make sure your car does not get ticketed for being on the wrong side of the street. Me? I tend to think of the last Tuesday of the month as being the fourth Tuesday, but that's not always the case. This month began on a Tuesday, so there are five, and that's why my street was cleaned today and I got a $25 ticket. From the looks of the situation up and down my block, I was one of many who had the same idea. FYI, there are also five Wednesdays and Thursdays this month, so if you have street cleaning on either of those days, check the signs and make sure you're not in a ticketing zone on those days, this week, at least if your street is done on a fourth Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

Changing your last name in Pittsburgh/Pennsylvania?

May. 11th, 2012 | 07:46 pm
posted by: [info]plaidgirl54 in [info]pittsburgh

Hi again, everyone --

So sorry to post again on here so quickly, but I'm wondering if anyone can offer advice/experiences/etc. Has anyone here ever changed their last name in Pittsburgh, for reasons other than divorce/marriage? I ask because I would like to revert to my maiden name. I am not getting divorced (happily married!), but I took my husband's last name when we eloped to NYC a few years ago and have regretted it ever since. I'm a grad student and about to start publishing (just finished my MA, entering a doctoral program in another state this fall), and I feel like it's now or never. I don't have any criminal history or anything. I just regret changing my name when I got married, and I've kicked myself ever since.

I've done a lot of reading online, but I feel discouraged because 1. It looks really complicated and 2. I am not debt-free. I'm not trying to evade any debts or anything, but I'm worried that my medical bills I'm paying on will make this impossible for me and I'm feeling really discouraged. And like most twenty-somethings, I've got my share of student loan debt.

Can anyone offer advice? Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much. It's really been stressing me out.

In Search of Cat-friendly Apartment in the South Hills

May. 10th, 2012 | 05:28 pm
posted by: [info]veggie_boyd in [info]pittsburgh

Hey guys. I'm helping my 22 yr old brother find a summer sublet that is cat-friendly and has a parking space. He will be working in Pleasant Hills while on summer break, so he'd prefer to be somewhere near there, time period now until July 31st.

I know this is a long shot, but I thought I'd try ye olde livejournal in addition to the craigslist coming he's been doing. You can contact me at andsomyangel@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Grilling in public parks?

May. 5th, 2012 | 04:39 pm
posted by: [info]plaidgirl54 in [info]pittsburgh

Hello fellow Pittsburghers--

Thought I'd ask here: does anyone know where you can find a good ol' fashioned, first-come-first-serve, public park charcoal grill around here? You know, the kind that you see in campgrounds and parks pavilions and such? I know that many of the city's public park pavilions are equipped with them, but you have to buy a permit and reserve them and such. I'm just wondering where two apartment dwellers might be able to grill up some dinner without having to pay for a rental. Does such a thing exist around here? We're in the East End but willing to drive a bit. Fox Chapel/O'Hara Township, maybe?

Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!
