Hi, I have two great seats for the Rockettes show at Benedum Center next Friday, Dec. 4 at 1 p.m. The seats are in the Director's Circle, Row ## 35 & 37 (right next to each other). I will be out of town so we can't use them. They are for sale for $165 which is what I paid for them (it includes the $14 handling fee they charge). Thanks. I've also listed them on craigslist. janet jai 412-362-7607

[Highland Park] performance at the Waffle Shop (slight revision)
by David Sogg 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hi, Neighbors This Sunday, 29 November at 11 am (Eastern Standard Time), I will give a performance of Susan Kander's new drama for bassoon, The Lunch Counter, at the Waffle Shop's counter in East Liberty. It will also be video-streamed live on the internet at waffleshop.org , (click on "Live Feed"). So come down to the Waffle Shop (opposite the East Liberty Presbyterian Church at 124 S. Highland Ave. in Pittsburgh, where Baum Blvd. runs into Highland), have a waffle, and hear me play the roles of the Lunch Counter's various customers. Or turn on your computer at that time. (It may even be archived on their website - we'll see.) DS
