Nationality Room Director, Maxine Bruhns
There was a nice write up in the Trib today - http://triblive.com/mobile/7603841-96/bruhns-says-rooms
I had sent an email to the nationality rooms email address saying I'd love to donate any proceeds from this set being produced to the nationality room fund, but I never heard anything back. If anyone can trace down a contact, that'd be great!

Spotlight on KDKA
Thanks to Dave Crawley for doing a great spot on Cathy! It's really going to be an amazing thing to see Pittsburghers support Pittsburgh and get the attention for voting! 400,000 people in Pittsburgh, more than 20,000 students at Pitt currently...who knows how many alumni. I'm just saying, this can be done, but it's going to be a community effort to get Pittsburgh on the LEGO globe!
Help spread the word
Anyone with any connections to Pitt, Pittsburgh, or social media points with large followings, please help get the word out there! It's the only way we can get this iconic Pittsburgh landmark out to the world!
