Viewer Discretion

So I guess we should take a break from our Super Bowl fever to write something that is not football related…
Thankfully our friends at the Shadow Lounge just keep coming up with good idea – check out Viewer Discretion – an open mic but for video instead of performance. Yet another good reason to spend your evening at the Shadow Lounge – here are the details.

Viewer Discretion: Video Open Mic

So we have the Curl Up Tuesdays for all the Spoken Word junkies. And Wednesdays’ Musicians’ Open Mic is probably one of the most talented open stages in the Mid-Atlantic…. So what about the Film folks?
The Shadow Lounge is proud to introduce its newest “Open Mic”, Viewer Discretion, happens on the 1st Thursday of the Month. The idea behind it: Take the Poetry Open Mic model and do it for film. Simply put bring your piece down on DVD format, sign up, and show.

The time limit is 10 minutes. It can be a short or 10 minutes of bigger picture… maybe it’s a work in progress. Each month we’ll showcase a couple of features to make sure the night it filled with moving pictures.

Ben’s Beard

Look’s like it’s gonna be Steelers 24/7 on the site. until Feb. 6! I’d like to think that IheartPGH.com had something to do with building all this positive Pittsburgh energy and taking our boys to the Superbowl. 😉

Check out this website made by some University of Pittsburgh students:


http://www.bensbeard.com/

From the site:

“This website exists to show our undying support to Ben Roethlisberger and his mighty beard. Though at first we may have had our doubts, the beard has proven itself throughout the season, and we hereby recognize its ultimate power. As a sign of our support for Big Ben, his beard, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, we, the undersigned, pledge to lay down our razors and not shave our beards until Big Ben shaves his. “

Amazingly enough, over 2700 people have signed the pledge since Sunday.
