My recap of WUYS’ Best.Weekend.Ever (except that time we went to see Hanson.  That was EPIC.)

Saturday: Penguins Open Practice at Southpointe Iceoplex

Kris Letang really liked our side of the ice.  Really.  I must have taken like 150 photos of him, but I couldn’t help myself.

1. He’s very photogenic.
2. He’s so fine it is just stoopid.
3. He has awesome hair.
4. We just can’t help it he wanted to be close to us.

Perhaps it had something to do with the girl sitting in front of us holding the “It’s My Birthday” sign with #58 written on it in purple marker…but maybe not…

How you doin'?

Tony Granato and Tanger

"You should go talk to them. I think they like you."

Thanks to my uber awesome camera and its telephoto lens, I was able to get some great shots – including a few of “Disco Dan” for Beth, who started crushing on Coach after I duct tapped her to a chair and forced her to watch “24/7”.  She resisted at first.  But then she gave in.

Sunday: Panthers vs. Penguins at Consol Energy Center

We love TheChad’s mom! She’s awesome.  Thanks to her, we scored 4 swanky seats in a luxury box at Consol for the game.

Hockey Rockstars (Pants, Chuck, Beth, TheChad)

Pants began texting everyone she knows - "Holy Canada, we're in a luxury box!"

YUENGLING! And it is freeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Also got the chance to watch the pre-game skate.

My most favorite flower of all.

Max Talbot and J. Staal share a chuckle.

Check all the pre-skate photos here.

It wasn’t just hockey that this great city had to offer.  Oh no, there was so much more.

There were maple bacon donuts…

And chocolate Stanley Cups…

and for this Polish girl, fried pierogies (nom nom nom)

Oh there were $7 pitchers of Yuengling. $7!!!  FOR A PITCHER! I can’t even describe how overjoyed that made me.  Me and my wallet.

Needless to say, WUYS had a blast in the Steel City and are most definitely going back…that is if TheChad will have us and our shenanigans.

Pittsburgh, we love ya!
