Heart of Saturday Night – Now with extra fun imported from Michigan

I have blogged about these events many times before. These guys are fun, their parties are great. What used to be called Soucialism is now the Vipers Soul Club. The dance parties are now at the Shadow Lounge – which offers the added bonus of being smoke free.

What I think is really notable is that members of the Ann Arbor Soul Club will be traveling to Pittsburgh to partake in the music and dancing fun.

Juddy has just posted a sample of some of the music for this weekend on the Soulcialism blog – click here to listen. Continue reading →

East of Liberty Part 2

Chris Ivey is an film maker who works on documentarys around the world, but calls Pittsburgh home.  Chris has been working on capturing the story of East Liberty for a few years now.  I was luck enough to catch a glimpse of some of the raw footage a year or so ago when Chris happened to bring his laptop into the Shadow Lounge.  There has been a lot of talk about East Liberty lately, especially with the new development there.  East of Liberty is a look at the stories of East Liberty and the neighbors that don’t often make the news.

Chapter 2 “The Fear of US” is a follow up to the first documentary that opened last year.  Part 1 has recieved much attention and was screened in London in May of 2007.
