i just played this game OTB against our club's chess instructor, a real chess master!  we didn t use a clock but the game took about an hour and a half.  to be fair he was also playing another one of the club members.

This was a great game!  :)  Your attack was very strong.  I think white's best try would be 29. Qb3 to stop 29...Qb2# but then you have d3+ which is a nice discovery.  :)

Well done.  You took advantage of his mistake that was hard to see right away and then never let up.  I think taking a positional advantage to a win against a player of his caliber is a real accomplishment!

As an aside, I am not sure of your plan to trade off light bishops.  I know you don't like them in the pirc, but he could have responded to b6 with Bc4 and then if Ba6 retreat the Bishop to b3.  Now his bishop is well placed; protecting his kingside and taking dead aim at your kingside, while your bishop is neither defending nor attacking.   Worse, perhaps, your bishop blocks the a pawn, making it more difficult to get your pawn storm rolling.  While you move around pieces, he will quickly march his little soldiers on the kings side. 

But then, the plan worked and that is the best thing you can say about any plan.

If 12.Nd5 Nxd5 (12...e6? will lose the d-pawn after the Knights are traded on f6. The Knight is too strong on d5 and must be traded.) 13.Qxd5 Qd7 gives White the superior position and strong attacking chances. I don't know if he missed this because he was playing another game, but it should be fairly obvious.

A well-played game, from what I could see. I like the potential discovered checkmate from the g7-Bishop at the end.
