Told my g/f we could go to Light Up Night...

[Kyle H]

What kind of cluster fuck did I get myself into? Is there anyway to get there that wont be packed? Im assuming Port Authority buses will be packed, and any parking around will be ridiculous. Is this correct?

Take a CAB ... easiest solution. Especially from Oakland.

Eff Pittsburgh, Eff "Sparkle Season", and Eff Light Up Night.

You know those bastards threaten to sue anyone (other local municipalities) who try to use the term "Light Up Night"? Another town here had to change the name of the event they've held for YEARS because the city of Pittsburgh threatened them with a lawsuit - it was in the paper not long ago.

"Sparkle Season"... Nuff said.
I'll spend my money where they aren't desperately trying to hide Christmas in the basement.



Oh, and back to your question...

Yeah, you're screwed. The cab idea may be worth considering.

Unfortunately I am stuck going with the wife I hate going anywhere even near the city... Trying to figure out a way to get out of it but I won't let her go by herself.

My town paid Pittsburgh 100.00 for the term. Sharon, where I onced lived.

How generous of Pittsburgh to allow others to use it "for a price". Sheesh.

So... the city is preventing or dissuading people for promoting its events?!?!? How ridiculous... charging $100 to use the name? wow... we're at new lows!

Imagine Disney charges everyone for using any of their names...

"Hey kids, let have a holiday vacation at that place down in FL where there are cartoon characters, where there are fireworks at night over this castle thingy"

"Daddy/Mommy, Are you talking about the PNC park with Perogies mascots?"

"No... I'm talking about.. ya know.. the place that starts with a 'D' in its name... has this famous mouse character... friends with this duck, and has a dog whose name is our no-longer-planet..."

"Oh! Disney World!!!"

"SSSSHHHHHHHH! Don't say it so loud! If anyone hears you, we'll be fined $100!"

Kyle,
Please accept my apologies for crapping up your thread with my feelings on this event.

Hope you can make the best of it in that madness!

Any bars around there? If so, first rounds on me.

I never got the whole "light up night" thing...Have someone break both of your arms so you can't drive, it will be less painful.
