Station Square, Pittsburgh

Another thing I can check off of my “Do Before I Die” list: See Elvis Costello sing Alison live. The concert (Elvis Costello and Emmylou Harris) was excellent. The only downside was that the audience was crammed into the amphitheater. There was no way to avoid touching the stranger sitting next to me. I’m not a touch-phobe or anything, but the last thing I want on a humid 90 degree day is to have a stranger’s sweaty, meaty thigh smack up against my OWN sweaty, meaty thigh.

The concert, sitting in the best seats I’ll ever sit in during a baseball game, the fried calamari, and the great view from our hotel room more than made up for the few hours of sweaty stranger thigh.
