You could sense a distinct change in atmosphere in the University of Pittsburgh’s Fitzgerald Field House the moment artist, Big Sean, poured a glass of wine as his intro to “Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay”.  The crowd buzzed and bounced along, as they watched the artist perform the song that they had heard at so many parties before.  The Pitt Program Council sponsored the event, and invited the popular artist to perform songs such as “Dance (A$$)” and “High”. Along with those songs, he also played some music from his various mix tapes and collaborations with other artists, such as the song “Gangbang” which is technically a Wiz Khalifa song. READ MORE

We decided to walk to the fence and watch the sun set behind the bridges while it changed from a cotton candy colored sky to a light gray color. As we did, we were standing on the platform behind the fence hugging and taking pictures. After no more than a minute of laughing and enjoying ourselves, this 50-year old woman sitting amongst her girlfriends on a Saturday night at Bar Louie screamed “EWW! GROSS!” Once my boyfriend and I heard this, we looked back at her shaking her head as if we were doing something wrong and instantly become confused and...
