I went to PNC Park on Saturday to see the Pirates game, and the big TV on the scoreboard showed me dancing during the 7th inning stretch! I was unduly excited by this (my girlfriend and family were mortified).

Interesting that the title bar of this board looked roughly like this:

.  
.  
.  
.  
“Where were you when the lights went out?”  
“I was on the Jumbotron!”  
.  
.  
.

I totally want to go to a Pirates game. PNC Park looks like a really nice place to watch a game.
