What a a weekend gang. Post G-20 and it feels like the town is back together. No for real. I wasn't sure what kind of mood the the city would be. I remember why I love this city after going out this weekend. It's the people.
I Dj'd at S-Bar in the South side not really knowing what to expect. Truthfully I thought it would be a mediocre night in PGH and people maybe still hesitant to go out due to either Protesters or the fact that were 1 Billion Law enforcement members in the city. But i was wrong. What started to seem as a slow start turned into a packed house at the S-Bar.
I then realized that Friday was a giant exhale from city as a result of the past 2 awkward days. I think that is best way to describe the G-20, AN AWKWARD MOMENT for the city. Friday people were drinking, dancing, and were relieved that it was all over. I don't think many people even talked about it at the bar. Bottom line people were out and having a rubbing loving good time. Ya dig! Even the streets outside were packed with people with no sign of G-20 solace.
i do however understand that not everyone was happy on Friday. There were people counting their loses from protesters and lack of business from G-20. But some people even endured loses from Steeler Superbowl and Pen's Stanley Cup celebration.
I have to mention that S-Bar was ridiculous on friday. In attendance that night. Steelers, WIllie Parker, Hines Ward, and Deshea Townsend. Also Scottro, Tall Cathy, and Allison Morris (KDKA). Funny in my own awkward moment I asked Allison what she thought about the G-20 and she stated that she wasn't a huge fan. (It was an awkward moment cause i was asking her what she thought about G-20 amongst this huge party atmosphere).
Thanks to the city for just being you.... AWWWW... I love the city and especially the people. There isn't anything like it...
We deserve the spotlight that we got. Even though it was not necessarily the spotlight that some of us wanted. But just seeing PGH on the national TV I was proud. I couldn't help but think that some people around the world spoke the word PITTSBURGH out loud for the first time. And we are that word. Word.
Here's what EILEEN FROM BLAWNOX thinks about G-20
