It’s been a pretty exciting week. First, I attended the ribbon cutting ceremony and subsequent party at the new PennLive.com/PA Media Group/The Patriot-New offices, where I hung out with the one and only Bob Flounders. Hmm, maybe someday I’ll unearth the posts he guest-wrote on my blog when a group of us visited Pittsburgh in ’05.
Me & BobbyFlo
Then on Tuesday, my newest project, What’s on Tap with Sara Bozich, launched at Midtown Cinema. You can learn more about the project with local video production company GK Visual here — or just dive right into the now-live first three episodes on our website.
Meanwhile, this weekend is September and Labor Day weekend, which means lots of festivals and end-of-summer bashes. In fact, for more on those, tune in tomorrow morning at 7:10 a.m. to The Rock’n Roll Breakfast on The River 97.3 for “Sara’s Weekend Picks.”
What are you doing this weekend? This week’s Weekend Roundup is brought to you by Natty Boh. Meet Mr. Boh at Hot Point in Shippensburg this Saturday from 9-11 p.m. Includes prizes, giveaways and $1.50 Natty Boh cans.
