Another free Obama concert - This one's for real

I like Rusted Root but I don't think I'll be attending. It's just too cold out and I'm a bit under the weather. But for anyone going, I highly recommend following up the show with a trip to the Cabaret Theater on Penn Avenue for a night of political commentary and comedy, courtesy of local comic geniuses John McIntire and Gab Bonesso, Post-Gazette columnist Tony Norman, and others.
