Hometown pride. Starlake (I still keep using the moniker, too) drives me a little crazy because of how far it actually is from Pittsburgh, but I've had some great experiences there.

Ahh, Pittsburgh. I love Mellon Arena. I've been looking for an excuse to see a show/game there before they tear that place down.. its a true original.

Are you a hockey guy at all? If so, this has Penguins playoffs written all over it I'm going to try to catch the March 20th game when I'm home over spring break.

Can you imagine how happy the residents of Burgettstown were to finally get some recognition, though? Slipknot fans 4lyfe from that moment on.

The Electric Factory in Philadelphia is probably one of the coolest venues I've been to. Small, intimate, industrial feel to it.

And add me to the list of Blossom fans. Yeah, it's a pain to get to, but it always felt, to me, more like a park than a corporate-run concert facility (I'm looking at you, Post Gazette Pavilion, aka Starlake).
