This year Cosmopolitan taps into the zeitgeist of of Pittsburgh fringe culture by inviting Trundle Manor, The Hills and the Rivers, and counter culture cosplayers Adm Jamie J. Apgar and Amanda Moffitt. The carnival theme set the party apart from a busy week that included masked balls, the first annual furry parade, and the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.
Attendees dressed on the wild side at the August Wilson Center. Maybe it was the masks, but the crowd felt more diverse than previous years. The food too represented new faces in the Pittsburgh culinary world such as Bill’s Burgers and Bloomfield’s Station. The VIP tasting at Cosmopolitan is still one of the reasons to buy a ticket and go. Even if it means joining the circus.
