Git Aht: Things To Do This Weekend

(Things to do while figuring out if it’s the heat or the humidity or the fact that you still won’t take off your “Drink Like A Champion Today” sweatshirt…) Friday, July 21 Wine & Dine In The Park, 5:00 p.m., Robin ill Park, Moon Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you go out and do the same thing all over again, but probably not with as much quiet dignity and grace that a wine-tasting usually provides. PA wineries put out their best, local restaurants provide the food, and the singing chef Olga Watkins performs with her quartet. This is… Read the rest

Git Aht: Things To Do This Weekend

(Things to do while deciding if head-butting the guy in the next cubicle is worth the inevitable red card you’d get from HR…) Friday, July 14 South Side Works “Exposed”, 5:00 p.m. (and all weekend), South Side Works, 26th-ish down Carson Billing itself as “exposing Pittsburgh to all cultures” (although presumably this doesn’t involve a trenchcoat and looks of surprise on stunned passers-by), this little get-together will feature belly dancers, African drummers, a hookah bar and a wine tent.

Ok, I’m off to Sandcastle, soak up the rays and drink that blue frozen thing they serve that looks like a blended smurf.… Read the rest

Git Aht: Things To Do This Weekend

(Things to do while getting ready to sing “Oh Say Can Yinz See”) Friday, June 30 Nine Inch Nails, 7:00 p.m., Post Gazette Pavillion Mercer High School band member Trent Reznor brings the Nails to town, so pale yourself up and enjoy the angst. Openers are 80’s Goth stalwarts Bauhuas and the delightfully reserved and timid Peaches. (She of the greatest post break-up song ever, I won’t link ’cause we’re a family site, but if you know Peaches, you know the song I’m talking about.) Incredibly Awesome Reznor Trivia: Trent played Professor Harold Hill in his high school production of… Read the rest
