Last-Minute Gifts
If you have holiday shopping left to do, some local bloggers have a few good ideas for you.
Burghsounds wants you to give the gift of Pittsburgh music, and one of their hippest recommendations is The Harlan Twins‘ self-titled album, which includes the song “Can’t Be Blue in Bloomfield”. I’ll spare you a joke about a blue Christmas and just remind you that I recommend this band. Burghsounds recommends emailing the band about getting the album and t-shirt for $15 (if you’re shopping for me, I already have both). You can also buy the album at Paul’s CDs and not have to worry about getting it in time for Christmas.
Another blog, Steeltown Anthem, recently posted about some great prints of Bloomfield that they found on Etsy. The drawings by artist Chantal DeFelice come mounted on wood, and beautifully capture some sides of Bloomfield. To buy Chantal’s work in time for Christmas, you can try visiting Wild Card on Butler Street or contact the artist directly.
And if you’re shopping for me, I don’t own any of those prints yet.
