Last Night - First Night


So Mrs. Boevers did the Pittsburgh First Night thing again. Lots of new stuff this year including two new positions. Lots of items in Theatre Square and an "Entry Icon" for people coming across the bridge from Heinz Field and the Winter Classic:



Here's the whole shebang:



And here's some of the Midnight show. We were father back this year, at 8th Street. From there you can actually see the ball and the fireworks, although you don't have much of a view of the band. If you listen carefully you might just make out a little Tower of Power and "What is Hip?"



Mrs. Boevers was on the TV too! Look for her at about 1:25 here: First Night Celebrations in Downtown Pittsburgh - Video - WTAE Pittsburgh I tried to find an embed code, but failed so you have to go to their site.

And of course it wouldn't be New Years without drunk people fighting. Here's some for your enjoyment:



Plans are already underway to make next year's show even bigger and better! Congrats to Marisa!

Looks like a great time was had by all. I expected there to be a lot of rain, but didn't see it. Mrs. Boever's spot was beautiful---she is a real looker!
