I’m writing this at the bar in Del’s on Friday (yesterday) around 9:00 PM, a karaoke night. Outside snow is falling but not sticking to the ground.
When I walked in I got to say a few words to Marianne, one of the owners. She doesn’t think karaoke on Wednesday nights is going to make it. I agreed.
Already there are several people at the bar. I have a good feeling about tonight.

I’m writing this part of the post in my apartment on Saturday morning. Snow is constantly falling outside.
Last night karaoke at Del’s was a blast. The place was packed out and the crowd was in to it. There were a lot of good singers, too. I had a good time.

The stand-off between Occupy Pittsburgh and the city ended peacefully Wednesday.

Well, I’ll be back at Del’s today around 4:00 to see my peeps (Rick and Di who are baby boomers) and then I’ll be at Sonny’s Tavern to check out some of the local music scene.
Elliott Sussman will be opening for The Beagle Brothers.

Occupy Wall Street: Can A Leaderless Movement Succeed?
February 4, 2012 — pittsburghflashfictiongazetteI am definitely one of the 99%. I am an admirer and a supporter of the movement. This news magazine sympathetically covers the movement. The Old Soldier recently purchased a book about the movement, the price of the book going to the movement.
But for the life of me I cannot imagine the occupiers succeeding without identifiable leaders or without some sort of leadership structure. Imagine India without Gandhi or the Civil Rights Movement without the Rev. Martin Luther King.

I wrote this post as I sat at the bar in Del’s waiting for karaoke to begin. Getting out of my apartment and bringing my small pocket notebook and two ink pens with me seems to free me up.
The ideas are flowing.

Last night karaoke at Del’s rocked. The place was packed out. Everyone had a good time. The Old Soldier got to sing People Get Ready by Rod Stewart, My Prerogative by Bobby Brown and I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For by U2.
