Still ISO that elusive N1 T-shirt (in 2x) to commemorate what was the most meaningful moment for me as a PJ fan ever. 

So, I actually have one of these (with the truck on the back, yes?) in XXL. I got it for my husband -- he wanted a large but my choices were S, 2X or 3X.

I'll see how he feels about parting with it. I know he was making noises about how maybe I could use it as a nightshirt, so it's quite possible that he'll have no issue with letting go of it.

Our drive home Monday turned out to be sucky as well. The normally 8 hour drive to Illinois turned into an 11 hour funfest. Both West bound lanes of I-70 were closed due to an accident. It took us 2.5 hours to go less than 5 miles. The added bonus was that the delay caused us to have to go through Indianapolis during the afternoon commute traffic. It was still a great weekend though!

I-70 in Illinois is easily one of the rings of hell.

Glad I jolted at 4:30 Monday morning.

These shows felt very special to me.  I already cannot wait for the bootlegs! 

Yeah, they are very much still with me today.

It was between the Ohio border and Indianapolis about 10 miles West of Richmond, but yes I-70 in Illinois sucks. My SIL is an Illinois State trooper, and I-70 is part of his patrol area. He has tons of stories about stupid crap that happens on it. It sucks in Indiana and Missouri too. I hate that interstate.  

Oh I heard about this! Our traveling partners got stuck in that mess and they were an hour ahead of us. It was backed up for hours

Thank you! I'll pay for the shirt plus shipping!

@Shaindli1

Do you by chance have an XXL soup can t-shirt from Night 2 Pissburgh show?

I wanted to buy an extra to trade. They sold out like crazy.

Gotcha.  Thanks!  Really sorry about mis-typing Pittsburgh; not at all trying to diss the city.

Wasn't me with the British guys.

Heard a lot of people saying No Aaron Rodgers. Ladies selling me beer who loved my Gritty shirt said that too. NFL execs really let their politics make decisions for them.

Pitt is really into their sports teams like Philly - pretty cool. Too bad they don't have a professional baseball team anymore.

Ah ok.  That was the only person I saw with an eagles hat.  Did see someone with a gritty shirt but no hat. 

Pitt (the school, this is where everyone insisting on calling it Pitt will get you into trouble) fans are very hardcore in the best way possible.  You can't say anything bad about our school's team's that we haven't already said ourselves.  As for the other teams around Pittsburgh, the Steelers fanbase has gotten pretty intolerable over the last decade.  Pens fans are always good and hockey is the only true Pittsburgh Philadelphia rivalry.  As for the pirates, who cares

Man, I'm glad I took a different route home back to Indiana... 
I got home in only 6 hours.

but the number of couples and small concert buddy groups carrying around 12+ posters and multiple skate decks and who knows what else in their overstuffed bags was disgusting.

That and they're usually the same folks always up front. One tandem in particular that's pretty infamous dating back to the BRY era. Some people never grow out of taking advantage of all things at every turn.

I really had a lot of fun with some Pittsburgh people I met, even walking around in my Eagles Super Bowl hat. And kudos to the Primanti waitress for giving me shit about my hat - way to defend your hometown! Very good times.

Were you by chance in the FNB club on Friday with some British guys?

I think I'm one of the British guys you might be referring to, our friend is also from Philly and was probably wearing some Eagles gear.

Happy to see so many of you enjoyed the city. Had a great time meeting a ton of people from all over (North East Canada - San Diego - Europe). A Canadian guy who was in line with me Friday asked if I thought it would be a 50/50 show (locals/out siders), said I thought maybe at best it would be 70/30 (out siders/locals). But by the end of the two shows, would definitely think it was 85-90% out of towners. Just made the shows all the better

Must return to Pittsburgh at some point. Lots more to see and do!

Uh... only Philly.... did we forget about Ovi and the Caps?

I could be, I was there with my wife.  I was the tall guy, we chatted for a bit.  If you were the one we were speaking to, it's very nice to stumble upon you here and we really hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend in our city!  And if I recall correctly, I think your team won Saturday morning?

Nope, talking just the city rivalry
