I have promised on many occasions to post some photos- overwhelming though it may be, I am going to post them ALL. Starting with our trip to Cleveland over Easter weekend. It was nice to get out of town for a couple days, and see some new sights. I've posted the album here.
Moving right along, we also had a visit from Shaoshu, which
coincided with a Rockband party. Righteous beats were dropped, and a good time was had by all. A couple pictures are collected and posted here.Another major event is the wedding of my ceramics partner.
This was a long anticipated event- Sarah and Alex have been together since the were in high school here in Pittsburgh, so you can imagine their big supportive families were restless with happiness. The wedding included some Pittsburgh traditions (like watching hockey during the reception), some Jewish traditions (like breaking the glass and being carried on chairs- as seen in photos), but was mostly a simple Catholic ceremony. It was a lot of fun to go and celebrate with my co-workers and friends, and to dance with Matt a little. This album includes our Award Winning Toilet Paper Wedding party from the bridal shower.In other news- The Penguins are in the Stanley Cup Finals! Can you believe people are still playing Hockey? It is hot out! We are facing Detroit, like last year and they are still a better team. Hoping to see some amazing turn around after a 2 game loss in this series, but not holding out for it. Matt is making steady progress at being a rockband drummer, so I have to do my best to keep up with him on the guitar stuff.

Few bonds are as sacred and memorable as those between a woman...and her ceramics partner.
What is that market-looking place in Cleveland with all the food and stuff? It looks delicious.
Also GRATS! Yours is the 250th post on the blog!

Cleveland has this very enviable Public Market, much like Granville Island in Vancouver, filled with stalls for many vendors of all things delicious. Pittsburgh really needs one- Does Austin have one? We have some serviceable farmers markets and the Strip District has a weird collection of street venders-- but it just isn't the same.
So, I assume the whole jewish thing ran counter to the honored tradition of the groom's gift of a whole pig to the customary asian wedding banquet. And I missed any description of the bridal party racing each other to the carpet placed for their vows as in the Russian orthodox church. Just how are these folks going to know where they are going without a traditional start to their lives together?? It did sound like fun, I must admit....
Cleveland, I can probably live without but it really did seem to have a wonderful local-ethnic feel to it.

I love the pics of your friend mimicking Raol!! :)
