Our Dave DiCello spent his weekend the same place most Pittsburghers did, at the Three Rivers Arts Festival. And yes, he was prepared for the trademark opening-day torrent of rain Friday, as anyone should at this stage of human evolution given all the precedent.

The man is selling prints at Booth 225 inside Point State Park, close to the Portal Bridge, and he’ll be there Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. He told me he’s already heard from dozens of subscribers delighted he’s now part of our site, and I’m sure he’d welcome more.
