*Experience 25 new things, places, or events in Pittsburgh.*
Last night Tim and I not only went to a concert- we got the VIP treatment! Believe it or not, on my last day of work I called into a radio station on a whim to try to win tickets to a Matt Natheson show. They were giving away tickets to teachers and I thought, hey, why not?! Long story short, I won the tickets and then, later in the day, I got a phone call that I was their grand prize winner and also won overnight accommodations! I was shocked- I never win anything!
So we showed up at the Fairmont Hotel downtown (the newest, fanciest, hotel in the burgh) and checked into our room before the concert. It was a really nice room with an awesome view. We were on the 16th floor and had a great view of Market Square and PPG Place.
Then, we headed down to the private show and a VIP reception. The reception was cool. They had a ton of fun appetizer foods and and open bar. We even got to meet Matt, who was super cool and down to earth!
After the party they gave us gift bags full of goodies, including signed CD's, and we headed into the ballroom for the show. Matt was great! His music is awesome and he is really funny. He even did a cover of " I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney and "Little Red Corvette" by Prince- both were awesome. We had a great time and will be seeing Matt next time he is in Pittsburgh!
Some of the videos I took at the show- check out his music!
If you don't have this CD, go get it... now!
Then, since we were right outside of Market Square, we went to Primanti's for dinner. Always so yummy. Plus, with the furry convention in town, it was also super amusing. Did you know that furries have to bring their own super long straws with them when they go drinking so the straw can reach into their animal head? Yea, we learned that last night! After dinner we walked around the square, played in the dancing water at PPG place, then headed back to the hotel to get some rest in a very comfy bed- and maybe raided the minibar ;)
Me enjoying the comfy Fairmont Bed!

Moral of the story: take chances and try something new- you never know when good luck is in your corner! Also, check out Matt Nathenson, he's awesome!!
