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!
