2002 10/18/02: With Halloween in the air, we wound aboard the scariest boat this side of Transylvania, the USS Nightmare. Not only did we get a behind the scenes and full of screams tour through the haunted ship, but we somehow we became part of it too! This marked the first ever area sighting of a teen wolf! 10/4/02: What better of a place for a couple of yuk yuks like us to go than the Improv Comedy Club at the Waterfront? Since there was a paying audience, the club managers were a little leery about letting us loose, but suffice it to say, there were plenty of laughs that night! We don't care about that laughing with us as opposed to laughing at us thing. 9/25/02: Author Lou Fineberg took us out on some of Pittsburgh's bike trails in and around the city, and with bikes from Golden Triangle Bike Rentals we were able to pedal ourselves numb. A great way to spend the day! Check out Lou's book Three Rivers on Two Wheels, a cool read indeed. 8/28/02: QED History Dude Rick Sebak lent us some his knowledge of the area belt system and a full-size yellow belt sign to boot! So with that we hopped in our van and followed the yellow belt signs seeing where it would take us. It was a full-circle that took us about 5 and a half hours to complete. And it was pretty well marked. The only confusing spots were in Neville Island and Carnegie. 8/21/02: People are always telling us we're full of hot air but this was ridiculous. We took to the skies once again, only this time aboard a hot air balloon. The folks at Ragge & Willow in Greensburg did a great job of showing us things from a whole new perspective! Kind of odd being at 10,000 feet in a wicker basket! But we were soon at home and even did a live call-in to the WDVE morning show during the flight. 8/10/02: Sledge Pledge 2! That's right… 2 Daves… 2 sledgehammers, and plenty of stuff to smash on live TV! Those folks in WQED Membership are alright! We even smashed John Tesh cds! Who said insurance companies are taking all the fun out of life? 7/31/02: After a long engagement, WDVE makes Dave & Dave official "regulars" on the Morning Show joining an elite group consisting of Stan Savran & Gene Collier. Now the comedy of Dave & Dave lands a regular Wednesday time slot (now 9:15am). It's good to be regular! 5/31/02: Seemed like a great day for baseball, and it was! Former Bucco great Kent Tekulve showed us around brand new Falconi Field, home of the minor league baseball, Washington Wild Things. We never did figure out what kind of animal that wild thing on their logo was and they had a field level hot tub in the stadium… 'Nuff said! 5/10/02: France, Italy, Napa Valley, and now West Deer! That's right, fine wine in West Deer! The Daves sipped their way around the traditional and family-run La Casa Narcisi Winery and learned all sorts of stuff about wine. Most notably, we really liked the Riesling-style wine. 4/30/02: The Daves hooked up with their radio pal Jim Krenn again, and this time Jimmy took us to the home of one his passions, Jernigan's Tobacco Village in the Galleria for some schooling in the fine art of cigar smoking. We learned everything we could until we were literally green in the face! 2/28/02: Dave & Dave appeared on PCNC's "Night Talk" with John McIntire. We had fun matching barbs with Johnnie Mac, but we ran out of time before we could talk to any callers. Drats! 2/21/02: Dave & Dave mark history. With the help of legends like Bill Hillgrove and Dick Groat, the Daves helped bid a fond farewell to the Fitzgerald Field House, long storied home of the basketball-playing Pitt Panthers. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. 1/25/02: Definitely the adventure we recieved the most calls about. Was it us? Nah, it was probably the food. Dave & Dave met the Chicago Dog at D'z Six Packs and Dogs in Regent Square, definitely a taste treat. And did we mention beer? They've got a whole cellar full! D'z turned out to be just one of those places destined to be a Pittsburgh institution, earning a Dave & Dave seal of approval all the way around! D'z is in Regent Square at 1118 S. Braddock Ave., 412-241-4666.
