"I'm in Pittsburgh (And it's Raining)"

"I'm in Pittsburgh (And it's Raining) – The Outcasts"
Hello there! Sorry it’s been so long. Places to be, people to see. You know how it gets.

Pursuing my dream of fame, I decided that Pittsburgh would be a good place to head off to. You might not be aware but it’s been the location of more than 125 films and a whole host of TV shows. It didn’t do much for my nerves though. I had to keep turning round, I kept expecting Anthony Hopkins to appear over my shoulder and beckon me to come closer. A scary thought I think you’ll agree.

Luckily this didn’t happen. Nor was I asked to star in a reprise of ‘Flashdance’. Nor did Mulder and Scully put a guest appearance in. Clearly I’d picked a quiet day.
None the less I did stumble across this place:
Named ‘Heinz Hall’. The name amused me. How could I resist?

More soon.

The Beginning


This is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feel.
“This is England – The Clash”

So here I am in Sheffield ready to set off on my travels! That’s me there! On that picture! Running to catch the train! I’ve been commissioned to go just about anywhere around the world. Michael Palin eat your heart out! Who knows where I’ll wind up! And quite frankly who cares. I’m famous! Soon my name will be known far and wide! Oh I can see it now! Young, adoring fans will be queuing up for my autograph; I’ll be walking down the red carpet, magazines will be begging for the rights to photograph my wedding to the stunning French XBods I’m simply destined to meet.

And to think, all of that is going to happen just because of Sheffield. Surprising just how much that city can do for you…

Write soon.
Xander XBods.
