What makes an attractive nightlife
scene? Flashy lights, red carpets, and spinners? Or off the beaten path
venues, independent arts, and late night eats? I’m pretty sure this city has
strong supporters of both entertainment visions. For anyone that hasn’t
noticed, over the past five years or so, Pittsburgh has been growing… maybe not
at the rate that some may like, but compared to the 90’s, Pittsburgh is like a
throw-back Milk Commercial. As it continues to grow, which nightlife vision
will the Metro reflect? Hopefully a healthy balance of both; Consumers need
options. ! ; It’s important to support, or at least respect, all forms of
entertainment. From the neon-lit-national-chains to the
back-alley-I-gotta-know-where-your-mama-lives-to-get-in-events, options are what
make consumers happy. So don’t hate on the big-Lego-developments; they make you
look cooler. And don’t hate on the obscure art venues; they let you know you’re
not weird. – 7th Movement Development

Saturday May 8 - an
evening of ambient world drones and electronic space music
8 pm
$6
Somewhere between new age healing mantras and the classic space
ambience of 1970 legends such as Tangerine Dream lies this double bill of
homegrown
musicians on the edge. The debut of CENTRALE ELECTRIQUE - the duo
of Mark Gaudio and David Rullo (aka Digital Buddha) - will be up first
with
their electronic explorations. Closing the evening will be the
well-known LIFE IN BALANCE, featuring Steve Sciulli on shakuhachi flute and
backing
electronics, and his wife Ami on Tibetan quartz crystal bowls. Come
on a spiritual journey with them that you won't soon forget!
Wed May 12 -
soul-funk and free-jazz
8 pm $6
Two out-of-town touring groups
join forces for an eclectic mix of musical styles. First up is New York City's
EASTERN SEABOARD TRIO, who
play a frenetic brand of avant-garde jazz
improvisation, but laden with deep grooves and textures. They have the honor of
being the only young
American group to be recently signed to Italy's
legendary Black Saint label, which has released the best-known players in the
world's avant-jazz
scene for nearly three decades. Also on the bill are A.M.
SUNDAY, a group from Louisville featuring the drummer from indie-rock legends
King Kong.
Their blend of soul, funk and post-rock grooves will get your
knees moving after your brain's been fully stimulated by the jazz.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting
Saturday may 8, 2004 – Learn to sing Sevillanas (Flamenco Cante)
Dear Flamenco friends,
I am going to be teaching a short
course on how to sing Sevillanas. This course will be on four consecutive
Saturdays, and will begin this coming weekend. Even though only a few of you
might be interested in, and/or able to sign up for the class, I would encourage
you all to consider the benefits of learning flamenco cante. As I said, in this
class we will be focusing on Sevillanas, which as many of you know as dancers,
is a very festive palo. So it is a fun way to be introduced to flamenco cante,
and can be performed individually or as a group. Additionally, learning to sing
sevillanas will give you more confidence as a dancer, and will allow you to
understand this flamenco form in a deeper way.
The details of the
course are as follows:
Flamenco Cante Course (4 classes)
Saturday
May 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th at 12:00 pm
Sliding scale fee for
class:
$10 per class (full fee) - "It's OK, I can afford it"
$5 per
class - "I'm truly on a budget"
free - "I'm totally broke but really want to
learn how to sing Sevillanas"
Classes will be held at School House
Yoga in Lawrenceville
I would love to hear from those of you who are
going to come to the class, so I have some of idea of how many people to expect.
Please let me know by sending me an e-email: veronica@telerama.com
See you next
Saturday!

We
are indeed quite close to opening. If you have peeked in the front window at
any period during the past month, you are aware that it has looked finished for
quite some time. Since some of the episodes are humorous, I considered posting
the top 100 reasons for the delay on our website, but I just do not have the
time.
In any event, I will send out an e-mail next week announcing a

Pittsburgh
Glass Center’s Mural has Begun
Pittsburgh Glass Center is thrilled to
announce that work on its mural will begin next week. The cool & colorful
design was created by Friendship native and artist Chris St. Pierre. He and
Jordan Monahan will begin painting on May 7. The Scaffolding is up and
re-pointing the brick is underway. Thanks to PAAI for its façade grant to
complete the project! Stop by and check it out!

Public
Art coming to Penn Avenue – Delayed
Due to the fact that a crew had
to be hired to move the public art we mentioned in last week’s a-list, the
project move date had to be moved. We anticipate it coming to Penn Avenue
sometime in the next two weeks. Keep your eyes open on the Avenue.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
about the a list
The PAAI
A-list was created for the purposes of promoting the Penn Avenue Corridor,
changing the perception of its adjacent neighborhoods to a positive one, making
you aware of its revitalization opportunity and accomplishments, and helping the
creative community here on Penn Avenue grow. The PAAI reserves the right to
promote whatever it sees as a healthy connection towards meeting this goal.
Priority for editing and posting the A-list is always reserved for the promotion
of Penn Avenue Corridor artists, people and groups who partner with us, as well
as friends who do things for us in return. If you sent us something and didn’t
see it included in our A-list, it is either because we didn’t receive it,
received it late, it was just way too long to read and edit, or because it was
not news in some way shape or form related to the Penn Avenue Corridor. If we
miss a week, it’s because we are too busy serving the customers mentioned above
to send out the events list. So please be patient.
If you really would like to be on
our A-list, you may want to consider moving to our community and getting
involved. Help us continue doing great work, and we will be happy to promote you
with a smile! Otherwise, there are numerous other weekly email lists you can be
part of. Don’t get us wrong . . . our intent is in no way to create a closed
community, a club, or an “in-crowd.” In fact, the Penn Avenue Arts Initiative
was created to do the opposite – to bring together all our neighbors and to
build on the diversity of the corridor. We also want to do you a service by not
replicating information you get on others lists. That way, you don’t get tired
or frustrated of reading the same stuff over and over and stop reading the
A-list all together. Our hope is that you find the A-list a service and, in
fact, help us promote our little special arts-related niche in Pittsburgh, so
that when you think of Penn Avenue and the arts, you will choose the A-list to
get the latest news.
To post information that is arts-related and relates
to the Penn Avenue corridor on the A-list, please email it to
pennarts@friendship-pgh.org by Tuesday - 9AM of the week you would like to see
it posted. Please include the following information in this order: the Date,
Event Title, Event Location, Contact Info, and Brief Description of
Event.
