Git Aht Special Edition: Get Your German On (Or, hey make sure you try the Yinzer Torte!)

This weekend is the always enjoyable, always exciting, always humid under the tents (that sounds sorta filthy, yar? “Hey baby, let’s get humid under the tents.”) Oktoberfest at Penn Brewery, 5 to Midnight Friday and Saturday, and the more family-friendly 4 to 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Git Aht! – Things To Do This Weekend

(Things to do while grabbing a light lunch …) Friday, May 18 Globalista Jam, 7:30 p.m., Modern Formations Gallery, Garfield The gallery gets transformed into a “near East coffeehouse” for the night. Musicians, bellydancers, and an end of evening, all-invited, “open-floor collaborative jam.” which I truly hope has something to do with music and not foodstuffs. Utterly Insane Comedians , 8:00 p.m., Slapsticks Comedy Loft, Castle Shannon-ish Am I the only one who think this would be hilarious if they actually were insane? I mean clinically diagnosed? Kleenex boxes on their feet, jars of urine, tinfoil hats? Go see some… Read the rest
