WHITE OUT NIGHT!







We love our Pens hockey team here in the burgh! Seated in the Igloo seats, three rows up from the glass we enjoyed a wild view of the game; Penguins vs., the Philly Flyers in the fifth game of the first series of the playoffs. Pens had a rough night but bounced back winning the sixth game and winning the series!! Gooooo Pens! Most everyone either wears their black & gold team jerseys or the white t-shirts swinging their white towels in the air with excitement throughout the games.

Steelers football fans swing gold towels called ‘Terrible Towels’ based on a famous sports announcer here in the burgh whose son has autism; so he created the terrible towel as a means to gain revenue for the autism society. As such as Pens fans, as well, we swing our white towels which distinctly create a a unified presence during ‘white out nights’. It was a terrific night until an inebriated rogue impatiently bumped into our car attempting to get out of his parking space; what a fiasco that turned out to be! Regardless, Pens rock and we look forward to their ongoing success. (White out night = Penguins/Igloo/ice/cold, lol, get it??)
