Event Details
David Rullo will discuss "Gen X Pittsburgh: The Beehive and the 90s Scene," his new book that examines the revolutionary coffeehouse and it's owners Scott Kramer and Steve Zumoff. Along the way, he writes about Pittsburgh in the 90s, a time when the city was still finding its way out of its post-industrial morass and Gen X culture.
David Rullo is an award winning journalist and a senior writer at the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle. His work has appeared in national and international newspapers, magazines and literary journals. He has spent the better part of five decades exploring and contributing to the city’s art and literary scene. Rullo’s work has been exhibited and heard in Pittsburgh’s cultural district and his bands Digital Buddha, Architects of the Atmosphere and Centrale Electrique have explored the boundaries between electronic music, spoken word, performance art and experimental music. His music can be heard in the score for the art film “The Pittsburgh Nude Project.” Rullo’s collection of poetry, “Tired Scenes from a City Window,” was published in 2015. A Pittsburgh native, he lives in the city’s South Hills with his wife and son, where he enjoys strong coffee, good bourbon and great books.
