Phipps Conservatory pt II
Category: pittsburgh
(e:paul) and I got to see the garden again, this time with (e:terry) and with a lot more in bloom! The sustainable building was done too - it didn't have much function but the net-zero energy usage is freaking awesome.

Stop and sniff

My absolute favorite is the orchid room. So many amazing smells, especially this one which smelled like white chocolate.

Hot Mass and Lucky's
Category: pittsburgh
After Tuneyards, we had the most ridiculous night. Booty abounded.

We started off at Luck'ys again which was cool, but not as packed at before. It still had the dive bar, dance-floor-is-gonna-cave feel that I wish Buffalo had.

On the way out, we passed this bail bonds place with an upstairs that (e:paul) and I had wondered about before - turns out it was a bathhouse with a huge rave going on underneath. It was called Hot Mass - Paul has already written about it but it was the one of the best parties I've ever been to (or smelled).

Outside the rave they were playing Judge Judy. Real strange.

I don't think I've ever heard such a crazy voice before. The show was at a giant old church complex called Mr. Small's fun house.

Everyone in the crowd got so pumped for their best and most popular song - Gangsta.

Brown sugar squash
Category: food
(e:Paul) cooked up some squash tonight. It was amazing enough just cooked by itself but we put some brown sugar and butter on top. Yum.

Dehording for the party
Category: house
We spent most of the day today cleaning for this weekend. I think we actually made progress on dehoarding - the back hall is finally clean. On the otherhand we disturbed so many scooters and spiders from their old homes - good thing you moved out yesterday (e:mike).

This back hall window has two different lock parts that don't match up. Jamming a blue cap in it seemed to fix it.

This should be a blue advertisement.
