Hot Times in the City

The Sprout Fund hosts their annual fundraiser on Saturday, August 25. Hot House is hot times in the city. This is one of THE BEST events I have attended in Pittsburgh. The Sprout Fund is the group behind many a cool project in Pittsburgh – remember those big inflatable sculpture from last summer – all part of the Sprout Fund’s public arts initiative.

This party shows off a variety of the people and projects that the Sprout Fund has supported over the past year. It is definitly worth the $40 ticket price.
Attend for Free! The Sprout Fund is looking for volunteers to help with the event before and during the party. If you volunteer you can attend for free.

Food and drinks from tons of different restaurants and perfomances by tons of local artists, including…

Soulful Dance Party

The award winning, well I don’t know if it has actually won any awards, but it should win many awards, dance party Soucialism is back.  After a hiatus the founders of this late night party are passing the torch to a new set of DJs who will continue to fill the White Eagle with soul music for your listening and dancing pleasure.  Lace up your dancing shoes and head on down to the South Side and dance until you can’t dance no more.  If you have been looking for some place to dance to music that is not top 40 then this is an event for you.

Details:
Soucialism = Dance Party @ White Eagle, corner of 11th and Freyburgh, SouthSide
Friday, August 10, 10pm
Free, no membership required, bar is cash only

(Things to do while sassing that hoopy Ford Prefect …)

(Busy, busy, busy, so it’s bullet-time, but I urge you to check the “More” links below, there’s a lot going on… have a good, safe holiday weekend. Take a cab. Or get a ride. Or see if that new “friend” you met at the bar will let you “sleep” on their “couch”, maybe.)

Friday, May 25
– There Was A Time… , 10:00 p.m., The Remedy, Lawrenceville – Juddy throws down again, go learn to Boogaloo…
– Wine tasting at the Warhol , 5:30 p.m., The Warhol, North Shore Side – I’m wondering if they’ll cut the price what with that 71 million they’ve got lying around now… (Note: yes, I know…)

Saturday, May 26

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 of Pittsburgh’s best comedians – David Kaye, Chris Ciardi, Brad Ryan and Chris Franz – in an “intimate New York style club setting” which I think means, you know, small.

Saturday, May 19
 Chillaxin In The Square , 12:00-3:00 p.m., Market Square, Dahntahn
market_square_logoSent in by the folks at the Downtown Partnership, this event is described as an “afternoon celebration offering outdoor dining, fine local merchants, vendors from the farmers market” and live entertainment. But look, I know for a fact you can go to Market Square just about any time of the day or night and see “Live Entertainment”. Depending, of course, on your definition of “entertainment”.

The use of the word “ax” in any way associated with Market Square slightly unsettles me, but ok, if hanging out in Market Square is good enough for Sid The Sloth , then it’s good enough for me.

Pittsburgh Guitars Big Beatles Show, 8:00 p.m., Rex Theater, Sahsside
Non-stop Beatles music played by over a dozen local musicians… For those of us old enough to (ok, barely, but still ) remember them, the Beatles were awesome, huge, greatest, all of these, so this would be a good gig to check out
