Steel City Weekend

On Wednesday, November 14 - we headed north to Pittsburgh.  The trip was two fold.  The first, was to see Bruce Springsteen in concert on his Magic tour.  The second, was to visit Cammie's Uncle Randy and Aunt Jane.

Mom hitched a ride with us from Charlotte.  We arrived in Pittsburgh around 3pm on Wednesday.  It was great to see Randy, Jane and Lee.  We spent the afternoon catching up before the big show that night.  We eventually headed down to Mellon Arena and arrived at 7:30pm.  We were joined by Mom and Aunt Diane as well.

Bruce and the E Street Band hit the stage around 8:15pm, and for the next 2+ hours I was in my element.  Bruce and the band were in great form and gave us incredible set list including:
  • She's the One
  • Reason to Believe
  • Code of Silence
  • The Promised Land
  • Night
  • The Ties That Bind
  • Gypsy Biker
  • Badlands
Check out the entire setlist.

We spent the next three days with Randy and Jane.  Highlights include gourmet meals by Master Chef Randy, The Incline, The Strip, lunch at Primanti Bros., Four-Wheeling, Deer spotting, the first snow fall of the year, touring Randy's work, and stopping at the New River Bridge.

Randy, Jane and Lee - thank you for your hospitality.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we will be sure to visit again in the summer.  Hopefully the other slacker family members will get up there!
