Hothouse


Last night the roommate and I went to this really cool event sponsored by Sprout Fund called Hothouse. It is their 7th annual benefit and showcase event-
"Held annually at unique development sites, the event celebrates the organization’s accomplishments and features live music and performances, food and drink by Pittsburgh favorites, a silent auction, and a VIP reception.

As The Sprout Fund’s “live annual report” to the community, the event creates an incredible opportunity for the wide cross-section of Pittsburgh’s business and social circles that come together each year in support of Sprout’s mission to meet and mingle."

Sarah's friend is a DJ and member of Philadelphyinz who was performing at the event and got us in. The event took place at the old Nabisco factory. There were vendors there with great samples of food and drink, as well as very interesting art pieces from local artists.

Following the event we went with the Philadelphyinz to a local dive bar. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in and people were ROLLER SKATING! It was hilarious to watch. I'm finding that Pittsburgh has a very diverse and rich cultural experience and plenty of opportunities to partake in such amazing events.
