Matress FactoryCategory: art
While in Pittsburgh we visited the Mattress Factory art museum. I really enjoyed the exhibits and the layout.
The Greer Lankton piece titles "Its about me, not you" was my favorite. It had such a intensely emotional and yet terrifying feel to it. It stuck me as so sad that the artist died at age 38. Being 38 it just seems so young.
The dolls in the piece were all so carefully constructed and reconstructed and arranged. It was as though she took her whole life before her death and summed it up in a room.
I wonder what my death room would look like if I made it now. A macbook and cell phone in an otherwise barren cube?

Pittsburgh ArchitectureCategory: architecture
The building in Pittsburgh are so much more impressive than ours. It's amazing how much later that city developed and how much nicer it is. I guess they have the natural advtange of so much rock everywhere in the hills. Just about everything was brick or stone. And not just run of the mills square brick but complex, intricate patterns of brickwork.
I really think I could live there.

Chicha LimeñaCategory: drink
On Friday night we had dinner at AJs Burger & Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken
I had the rotisserie chicken with rice and sweet potato fries which was amazing.
The prices seemed good and they had something for everyone in the family from traditional pervuvian to Mexican and American bar food like burgers and mozzarella sticks.
They also had this really interesting blue corn drink called chicha limeña. Definitely worth checking out if you are down there.

Flux Pavillion - AE Stage PittsburghCategory: dancing
We went to see Flux Pavillion at the AE stage in Pittsburgh on Saturday. I thought that Wilkinson was playing which was the real reason I wanted to go. Sadly he couldn't make it to his American tour?
We stayed for a couple hours but I'm honestly just not a Flux Pavillion fan. The music just doesn't flow for me. Also, it was so weird going to a EDM concert instead of a rave. The DKs had sets then you just waited in between. I can't remember the last time I went to a EDM event where there were large periods of no music and lights on in between the sets. It was like a concert during intermission.
The visuals were nice at least.
