Oh yeah, I know the Sombrero Guy. He was always one of my favorite Pittsburgh bums. One night, my roommate Ryan was so drunk that Sombrero Guy gave Ryan a cheeseburger.
Pittsburgh. Good times. Now that Southwest is flying from Philly to Pittsburgh, USAir had to cut their fares from about $280 round trip to $63. That's right, Philadelphia to Pittsburgh for almost three hundred dollars. I have a list of favorite destinations on Yahoo, and found that I could've flown to Dublin, Amsterdam, Las Vegas, and London for less than it took to fly one hour to the 'Burgh.
I just read your dog blog and I felt so sorry for all those cute wittle tied up doggies....however I'm also seething in jealousy because right now I'm sitting on my computer, at home, in England, looking at sunny dog photos and its raining. Again. Don't get me wrong I love the rain when I'm in the mmod, but I'm praying for a bit of sun shine at least. It's 4:13 in the afternoon and I've had to put my bedroom light on. You guys are so lucky. Though I guess I'd miss the rain if I lived there. Anyway, I'll keep on coming in to read your blog. Interesting to see how you guys live your lives.
Welcome, welcome!
I just got curious about something that I think will be the next post.
i lost my atm card during our bar hop weekend, and MY bank gave me a temporary card that i can use at their atms. this service should have been made available to you.
also, agreed on the suckage of this situation!
Wait, your bank has teller people during the weekend, YOU SUCK, I have to starve till monday morning, regardless of how many hours I spend outside, whining at the door sand scrathing the glass, occassionally going over to lift my leg on the teller machine.
I have friends that go to CMU...
Consequently, I've heard ALLLLLLL about sombrero guy. But I never see him when I go to the 'Burgh. Too bad!
I always heard him sort of stutter over the word "change", so it was more like "spay ehhnnhhhy chay, chay?"
SOMBRERO GUY
my personal favorite bum was the blind dude who would sit on his radio and sing gospel. beautiful voice on that man.
he told me his church kicked him out and said he was going to hell because he was blind.
w. t. f.
Jon MUST remember that Mr. "Spay Nay Chay" was given a name : El Mariachi. Not only did he have the sombrero, but occasionally, a maraca. Priceless. I haven't seen him in at least a year, though. I had heard that he took all of his earnings and bought a house on the beach in Florida. I'm so serious. That's at least a happy ending, right?
How did I forget about the name we gave him? What is wrong with me
Here there's a homeless lady who stands in the middle of the street with her dog and yells at cars.
Yeah, I'm a student at Pitt and he's still talked about a lot but he's not around anymore. There is still a singing blind guy around though, but he's only semi-blind. He has partial sight.
The saddest bum around though is this guy called "Happy". This guy is bearded and disheveled, and he shuffles around really slowly. He used to be a professor at either Pitt or CMU (depending on who you ask) but he had a breakdown sometime in the 80's and quit his job, left his family, and started living on the street. He's always around but I've never seen him asking for money.
