On Consol Events and Other Random Stuff

The outbound Fort Pitt Tunnel is closed. Please plan accordingly. Or better yet, just don’t go downtown this weekend. Detours, traffic, angry drivers…


Consol Energy Center is prepped to open soon! The kick-off event is Paul McCartney August 18th & 19th. If one-fourth of the Beatles isn’t your style, other events might catch your eye:

Lady Gaga - September 5th

Nickelback with Three Days Grace & Buckcherry - September 17th

PENS VS. RED WINGS - September 22nd (Good luck getting tickets to this. Better keep listening to the radio and hope someone is giving tickets away.)

Chelsea Handler - December 4th

Justin Bieber - December 13th

Ok, so there are a lot of gaps in the calendar, but those gaps are filled with hockey because, well, Consol Energy Center was built for hockey. Hockey in Pittsburgh is good, and it would seem that Consol is going to deliver.

Pittsburgh Magazine is hosting the 3rd annual Best of the ‘Burgh Party on September 16th. Tickets go one sale August 9th. Surprisingly, this event does not look exciting. Spending an evening on a boat? Not for me. I’m disappointed that Pittsburgh didn’t disclose anything happening on the boat.


It looks like CMU starts classes August 23rd and Pitt opted for August 30th. Interesting choices, if you ask me. I always preferred to start classes early. There’s nothing like a full month for winter break and being done for the year by the first weekend in May. Avoid I-79 and Oakland the weekends before these dates. Also, avoid going out the Thursdays following these dates; I’m sure there will be a lot of catching up among students and I’m positive they are thirsty.


Ok, I’m going to listen to Taylor Swift and be happy. Is it just me or does she always sound a little breathy? Doesn’t matter. Still think she’s great.


What concerts at Consol are you looking forward to?

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it...

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement ...

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas...
