Fish FRYdays, Night of the Living Dead, Food Festivals & Oscar Party

Here are the links for all of the great stuff we discussed on WDVE this morning. We are on live most Friday mornings at 6:45 am.

Happy FRYday! If you are one of my grades school classmates you can’t say the word Friday with out thinking of Mr. Hazlett, our history teacher, who would say every Friday – happy shake-n-bake day.

Fish fry season is here and someone has put together an AMAZING map of all the fish fries around Western PA.

Check out the Pittsburgh Lenten Fish Fry Map here and like the map on Facebook here.

Four Short Films by Pittsburgh Filmmakers – Sat. Dec. 3

There is a lot happening in the Pittsburgh filmmaking scene. We aren’t just talking about the big films – yes Tom Cruise has been in town. But there are lots of smaller projects happening here too.

This Saturday, December 3 there will be a screening of four short films by Pittsburgh filmmakers the event is titled A Night of Altered Reality and will be held at the Hollywood Theater in Dormont. I first learned about the film, Lightweight, from the Steeltown Film Factory competition and it is exciting to see the finished film. The Steeltown Film Factory is an annual competition that is open to anyone – the submission period for the 2012 contest is now open.

The four films that will be screened are:

A Night of Altered Reality, a screening of short films that intersect at the corner of Surreal Street and Dream Drive.
