Voter Registration Deadline for Pittsburgh Primary is April 22, 2013


The mayoral primary, May 21, 2013, will ultimately be the deciding vote for Pittsburgh's next mayor.  And because we live in a highly regressive state known as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that means only registered Democrats will have a determining voice in who the next mayor will be.  I have sent in a change of party status temporarily so I can vote in this most important primary.  It has been over 15 years since I was a registered Democrat so that shows how important I believe this race will be.  

A current list of candidates can be found here.   Of particular note are Democratic candidates Bill Peduto and Michael Lamb, who declared before Ravenstahl withdrew.

You have until April 22, 2013 to register to vote and I'm assuming that means any changes in your registration as well.

The deadline for in-person voter registration is 30 days prior to each primary or election. Registration-by-mail forms must be postmarked no later than the voter registration deadline in order to be processed for the upcoming primary or election.

PGH is Art Day of Giving

Goals - Basics - Sign Up - Marketing Toolkit

The Pittsburgh is Art Day of Giving is a 24-hour donation match campaign and opportunity to increase giving to our thriving arts and culture sector. Initiated by the Greater Pittsburgh Arts council and the Heinz Endowments, it is sponsored by The Pittsburgh Foundation and modeled after their October 2010 PittsburghGives Day of Giving.

Goals

  • Donors will have 24 hours to give. Only credit card gifts through PittsburghGives.org will be eligible for matching funds. No gifts from checks, cash, gift card redemptions, or donor-advised fund grants will be eligible for matching funds.
  • Minimum gift eligible for match: $15
  • Maximum gift to a single organization: $10,000
  • Each participating organization is eligible to receive funds with no maximum limit for the organization. Organizations are prohibited from donating to themselves.
  • Participating organizations will receive pre- and post-event surveys which they must complete and return. Organizations are also required to report gift results including size of donor pool, average gift size, number of new donors, total amount of gifts received from returning donors.

Sign Up

Started on August 20,2007. pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site www.PghGalleries.com.

the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh artist advocate rick byerly.

Funk N Punk Sat May 17,2008 Pepsi Cola Roadhouse


This info came to me via a recent CMU grad who moved back to town recently and is involved in the following project:



PEPSI-COLA ROADHOUSE AND U.REP PARTNER IN NEW MUSIC PROJECT
“FUNK ‘N’ PUNK” SHOW TO OPEN THE SERIES

Pepsi-Cola Roadhouse website: www.pepsiroadhouse.com

With the underlying idea of strengthening and regenerating interest in home grown and locally performed original music, a group of young promoters calling themselves U.REP has teamed with the Pepsi-Cola Roadhouse, upon an offer from the venue, to produce a series of concerts showcasing new and upcoming regional talent. Additionally, with advance tickets, audience members can reserve a seat on a shuttle bus with complimentary refreshments, getting themselves to and from the Roadhouse and starting and ending at pre-selected boarding locations. As of now, the plan is to stage a show every couple of months that will present the finest, most well respected performers in the greater Pittsburgh region, including any and all types of contemporary music genre.

To date, the first show, slated at the Pepsi-Cola Roadhouse for Saturday, May 17, presents the cutting-edge, funk bands CK9 and the Old E Allstars and The Jungle, and punk-rock band Alive in the Underground. With this breakaway Roadhouse project, these and other local original bands and artists will find a new market and have a new, highly professional place to be heard.

And the Pepsi-Cola Roadhouse is not just any place. In a state-of-the-art facility, the Roadhouse boasts a nationally accredited sound system, a highly experienced crew, and a musician’s dream of a stage that has presented such artists as Ray Charles, Charlie Daniels, Willie Nelson and other greats of the industry. Bands who become part of this project will appreciate the superior quality of the audio, video, and lighting equipment, worth at least $750,000, that will record their concerts on professional levels. Helping the artists sound their best will be a sound engineer who was formerly the engineer at Club Laga and Grafitti at the height of their successes as Pittsburgh’s best music showcase venues.

The Roadhouse audience who comes to these new concerts will also be rewarded with a venue that holds the honors for being voted the past five years as one of the top country music clubs in all of the United States and Canada, 2500 seats that provide a clear view of the stage from every area, a security crew comprised of law enforcement officials, and a parking lot with a capacity for over 1200 cars.

THE CONCERT: “FUNK ‘N’ PUNK
Emcee for the evening: Cinik Lethal
Show starts at 8 pm. Saturday, May 17, at the Pepsi-Cola Roadhouse.
Advance tickets includes transportation & four drinks + $1 drink specials: $20
Purchase tickets by calling Bruce @ (412)606-6751 by Tuesday 13th!!!
Pick-up time is 7:15 at selected boarding locations. Drop off time is 1:00 am or earlier.

Boarding locations are:
Shadow Lounge in East Liberty
Peter’s Pub in Oakland
Charlie Murdoch’s on the South Side
Acapulco Joe’s in Carrick
The Brass Rail in Pleasant Hills
All ages 18+ show. Shuttle bus drinkers must be 21 and over.

Zombo Art Gallery: Ian Green Studios Vs. BINKY FON May 2 2008 Pittsburgh Galleries

Zombo Gallery presents Ian Green Studios Vs. BINKY FON Opening Reception Friday May 2nd at 6pm Closing Reception Friday May 23rd at 6pm. Gallery Hours.. Fridays from 5:00-7:30 and Saturdays Noon - 4pm other times ..call 412-904-3703 appointments.

Who is Ian Green and why you have to see his art.

Ian Green was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. As a kid, he played mostly in the woods that edged Carrick. This was the 70's and no one talked about green space, so the woods back then were basically considered a dumping ground for many and most roads that ended there were punctuated by many a lazy slob's garbage. For a parent, this was surely a safety concern, but for little Ian, it was awesome! A seemingly endless supply of discarded and fading plastics, gems of broken glass, rusted metal and peeling painted wood mixed with lush vegetation and weeds offered forms and colors and textures that no clean playground could. Ian was into it.

Every so often, his family would go up to Mars, PA. to visit John and Louise Fox. John was a painter and antique dealer. Their warehouse was dark and ominous and filled to the rafters with John's work and antique items ranging from nearly worthless to rare and exquisite - all accompanied with a layer of dust the thickness of which bespoke either their newness or neglect. Wandering through this strange interior garden excited Ian the same way the junk did back home in the woods. He was hooked.
Skip ahead past the BFA from CCAD, the MFA in Painting from IU in Bloomington, and hit play in Pittsburgh 2000. Ian gets a studio in Homestead (where he is still working) but the world is very different now. He looks at people talking into their cell phones and they seem like plain-clothes extras rehearsing for a Star Trek episode, so he paints a broken branch in a dirty window with the light filtering through the dying leaves. Skip a little pass 911 to the ever-present terror we're supposed to be feeling thanks to Fox News. No thanks - so Ian joins the Zany Umbrella Circus as an antidote to helplessness.

Now people talk to their invisible friends via little Borg attachments. Loud one-sided arguments from pissed off strangers drift up from the bus stop below his studio. Ian sees the billboards getting bigger and brighter and the people getting smaller and smaller and he's seeing a lot more security cameras everywhere and yet people seem more afraid than ever. Pieces like "MacSanto's Pizzarena", and "Dave -n - Strikebusters" and "BINKY FON" stem from a growing suspicion-that our present humanity is sliding uneasily into a trap set for the future. This is what Ian calls "The Time of PIL". Where good credit equals no worries and the billboards read you.

The Zombo Gallery is not only Lawrenceville's newest gallery, but it is Pittsburgh's home for hip lowbrow art. It is artwork that is rooted in 1950's and 60's pop culture and kitsch. It follows along the lines of San Francisco's Juxtapoz Magazine. The gallery houses a retail area with similar themed wares such as Custom T-shirts, DVDs, CDs and recorded air checks of Zombo's Record Party radio show that is heard Fridays from 10am-3pm on Pittsburgh's WRCT 88.3 FM.The gallery is located at 4900 Hatfield St. and also houses a custom screen printing shop.
