I received one in Texas about 6 years ago. It arrives in a styrofoam cooler with dry ice - well packed. You heat up the meats and stuff and then combine everything into the sandwich. It was pretty great - not quite the quality of a sandwich you'd get at a Primanis restaurant but pretty damn close. It's a wonderful taste of home for the Pittsburgh ex-pat

There are also a few drum shops in the area. Drumfactorydirect, Pittsburgh Drum Exchange, and Hawthorne Drum Shop (last two are next to Hollowood Music, an old school pgh music store - def worth a check out someday)

are you looking to demo new drum gear, or just find a place to practice drums real loud? if you are looking to demo gear, not sure I can help you with that. I would suggest calling/visiting the handful of music stores around the area and asking them.

However if you are just looking to practice by yourself or with a band, check out Ralph's Musicians Guild in Homestead. you can rent the space (it's a stage + all the gear: amps, drum kit, pa system, etc) for pretty cheap by the hour. maybe 20 bucks or so.

the other alternative is renting a practice space at one of the StoreExpress buildings around the area. I know there is one is Southside and (I think) McKees rocks that rent out practice spaces to bands with 24/7 access. Good luck!

Reply to Tiki Enthusiast? Want to join a complete stranger in from Chicago this weekend at Hidden/Haunted Harbor? by navsingh12

hey chief - tiki lounge is great but can get a little collegiate on the weekends. if you can get there earlier in the day/evening you'll be golden. Visit the Strip District on a Fri/Sat/Sun morning for some wild street market shopping/eating/drinking.

regarding haunted harbor, I was keen on going but I saw they were sold out so I wrote it off. If you don't have any takers by Saturday, DM me I may be interested in a ticket.

Lastly, there is an free event/outdoor Vintage clothing market going on Sunday morning 10/30 from 10-4PM at the Highline, a repurposed commercial complex near downtown. They have a rockin' surf band playing around noon [The Yeggs]. Stop on out and say hi to the guitarist ;) - Wish I could link you some details, just search 'Pittsburgh Pickers' on IG or FB you should be able to find a flyer.

Good luck mate, just hang around maggies farm, HH, tiki lounge, and you'll link up with some cool like minded folks.
