Hay!

Mama's art opening is tonight at Casbah in Pittsburgh during their 
happy
hour from 5-7 pm.  This show will feature some of her older and newer
paintings on one of the Casbah walls until September 11.  A little bird 
(not
a little horse, which I am) told me that folks from Whirl, LUPEC and 
the Art
Of News folks are all planning to be there tonight.  Hope you can be 
there
too!

If you're not able to stop by this evening, please do stop by sometime
during the month.

Have you picked up the latest copies of Pittsburgh Magazine and/or 
Whirl?
Mama Spell is in both of them this month!  Look for the issue of 
Pittsburgh
Magazine with Tommy Maddox is on the cover, and this issue of Whirl 
with the
Survivor chick on the cover.  Mama Spell is in both of them (the 
magazines,
not the people).

If you haven't yet bought a copy of Mama's comedy album, "Stories with 
No
Morals," now is a great time to get it.  Buy it either on-line at
http://www.mamarama.net/about.htm or at any of the stores listed there.

Ok.  I'm a pony!
