Black & Gold day

[illusionofjoy]

Last night began with a minor crises which ultimately turned out to be nothing at all. It ended with me being pulled over by the police at 5:00AM on my way home from dropping off a friend and being let off without being ticketed. Thank goodness for near-misses, and I think I won't try pressing my luck for the next few weeks.

Today is Superbowl Sunday and all of Pittsburgh is is rapt anticipation of watching the Steelers defeat the Cardinals. Last night in South Side was madness, as you couldn't wave a Terrible Towel about without hitting a black and gold jersey. Today it'll be even more insane. It's like Christmas here, so let's cheer on the home team for a win - Pittsburgh needs the morale boost.

Congratz to your town on the Super Bowl win. I believe I even heard it was a record for total number of Superbowl victories. That's just fucking amazing.

Unfortunately Super Bowls, much like the Steel Industry Pittsburgh's team takes its name from, continues to slip thru the grasp of Buffalo.

Enjoy the following comic. Now there's one with you in it and one about the city you're in.

Oh pardon me, are these YOUR coat tails I'm riding on? ;)

It's true - the Steelers are the first NFL team to win six Superbowls. Last night was insane - crowds of happy drunken fans rampaged through the South Side and Oakland while people shot off fireworks in the South Hills suburbs (including a volley right behind my apartment building). There's going to be a victory parade downtown tomorrow afternoon. Pittsburgh is a happy town right now.

Aren't coat tails made for riding? Tell you what - do all the riding you want and in exchange, should I ever play a show in Buffalo, you show up and bring all of your friends. Deal? ;)

Rest assured, once I get my main computer back up and running, "Sidequests" will be placed in the "Comics" bookmark folder, right in-between "Questionable Content" and "Sinfest."

Ooo in the company of the big boys.
