THE GIANT RUBBER DUCK!!

Definitely a fun night for me and a great introduction into the kinds of things that happen in Pittsburgh during the weekend. (Which is especially great because ... drum roll please ... I am leaving NYC and moving to Pittsburgh in the next two months!)

What types of fun events like this happen in your city? Let me know about them in the comments!
