WYEP's Rock the Block

Brazilian Girls/Willie Nile/The Boogie Hustlers WYEP Community Broadcast Center, Pittsburgh, PA After a similar fundraiser last year while still constructing our building was successful, we decided to do it again. We blocked off the street in front of the WYEP Community Broadcast Center, set up a stage and put the Brazilian Girls and the Boogie Hustlers there, plus had a V.I.P. event inside with Willie Nile.

Rancid

Club Zoo, Pittsburgh, PA I hadn't seen Rancid since a late '90s Warped Tour or at least since the 1997 Tibetan Freedom Concert , and I'd never seen a full, headlining show by the band. Plus, I'd never been to the venue formerly known as Metropol, although I'd heard much about it (mostly negative), so it was going to be doubtless interesting. post continues.... Betsy, Ned, Steve, and I arrived to see the first (local) opener. Betsy and I were also interested in seeing if we'd get in with our "tickets"--Betsy came to the club to buy tickets and they gave her a copy of the club owner's business card, hand scrawled with "Rancid - admit one." This seemed a bit dodgy, so I emailed the guy who actually books the shows (an acquaintance) and he said it was okay. And, indeed, we got in with no problem. The bouncers didn't even bat an eye when they took our "tickets." We saw the first band, Weekend Warriors (enjoyable but forgettable),...
