An amazing past few weeks in Pittsburgh, PA had Jasiri X and I in full media mode:
Speaking on Panels at the Netroots Nation Conference, Video
Later we watched Ex President Bill Clinton lay some serious smack-down during his Keynote speech.
We went to Michael Moore's Press Conference at the AFL-CIO Conference: Part One:
Part Two:
Then we marched downtown Pittsburgh with Michael Moore and the Nurses Unions.
And sat with him at The American Premier of his new movie "Capitalism, A Love Story".
The next day we watched President Obama address the AFL-CIO Conference live at the David L Lawrence Convention Center

We interviewed the people living under the bridge on the North Side. They said that the Pittsburgh police have told them to move for at least 10 days beginning near the G20 start date. And for them to stay away from downtown.
They also said that Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu has been coming by and looking out for them with food and cash as just after they said it Troy pulls right up and checks on them.
Then last but not least!
We just missed a shoot out between two African American youths, 3 blocks from where we were filming.
Just another day living in the hood, with Jasiri X and Paradise!
