[Highland Park] Last call - worm composting this Saturday
by Nicky Leon 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Last call - feel free to show up even if you don't get a chance to RSVP. Thanks! Last year I sent out an email offering to help people set up a worm composting bin. I was completely overwhelmed with the number of responses, but I'm ready to try again. Worm composting is a great way to get rid of small amount of kichen scraps, and is generally really cool. Worm castings make excellent quality compost for your garden. If you are interested in starting a worm composting bin, I will be at the Garfield Farms garden Saturday April 17th at 9am. The garden is located on the corner of Wicklow St and Cornwall St in Garfield Heights. You will need to bring the following items with you: A bin that you will keep the worms in. My bin is fairly large - 2x2x3. I would suggest a minimum size of 1x1x2 - Long base and shallow depth is better. You will want it to have a lid as well. Newspaper (I will have extra, so don't buy it if you don't already have some) Kitchen gloves (optional - you will be touching worms and their castings/fertilizer). Donations for the farm are also welcome. I will demonstrate how to set up your own bin and what has and has not worked for me over the 2+ years I've had it. You will leave with a fully functional worm bin. Please let me know if you are interested in attending, so I have an idea of how many people to expect. Feel free to contact me with any questions. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail & Messenger. Get them on your phone now. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9724463

[Highland Park] Acappella Concert Sunday at Kelly Strayhorne w/ World Famous Vocaldente
by Nathan Wildfire 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Hello Highland Park friends, On Sunday April 18, at 300 PM, acappella band Doubleshot! (of which I am a member) is hosting Vocaldente, an internationally known acappella group from Germany, at the KellyStrayhorne Theater again. Doubleshot! has been singing professionally in Pittsburgh for five years now, and we've sung with Vocaldente a few times on some national stages and are really happy to bring them to Pittsburgh. You can find more information about the bands and show at www.onlythevoice.com. Click on the "shows" link. Also, here is Vocaldente's website: http://www.vocaldente.com/ I have tix ($10 if bought in advance from me) for Highland Park and East Liberty residents, or you can find links online to buy - but I think they're $15 there. My group will sing a good 10 songs or so, and then get out of the way and let the international superstars do their thing. (For those who saw them the last time they were here, you know they are pretty awesome and very polished. They tour internationally. We tour Pittsburgh bars.) Alternatively, you can come see Doubleshot! at other venues in Pittsburgh. Contact me via email if you would like tickets. I will be at the tree planting this Saturday and then helping at a community garden in Larimer after the trees are in the ground on Highland Avenue. Thanks! Nate Wildfire Stanton Avenue

[Highland Park] Free Bike Rack ( roof mount ... 4 bikes )
by Steve Karl 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Greetings, I received a free bike rack from a list member a yr. or so back and find that I can't use it, so I'm re gifting to any one who would like to pick it up. It's a "Yakima" rack with 4 "Raptor" arms, so it will hold up to 4 bikes. It needs a little TLC and maybe some paint to make it look new but I suspect it's fully functional as it is. I never got the chance to mount it. Free to first caller that wants to pick it up. It's big so have an suv or pickup truck or van, and I'll help move it from my garauge to your vehicle. Here's a link to the product http://www.yakima.com/Product.aspx?Number=8002085 and a screen shot from their site. The "Raptor" part is darkest in the picture, but/and the rack that supports it is also incuded in this give away. Steve Karl - Winterton. Street - 412.441.4349 ( call to claim it and for more specific directions ) Today is a perfect day for this. Thanks!
