Don’t be bored on Sunday or Wednesday evenings in Pittsburgh! During the summer months, Cinema in the Park is the best way to catch a flick and get some fresh air while watching the sunset over the city. Take a cozy blanket (or your parking chair from winter), your favorite snacks, and head out to watch free movies on Flagstaff Hill in Schenley Park.
Here is a complete schedule of the remaining showtimes at Flagstaff Hill:

Now that I have your attention, I’d like to call your attention to Hamell on Trial’s impending show, Thursday, June 3rd, at Club Café in the South Side. I know what to expect. I expect the same good time I had the last time I saw him there. Granted, that was a few years ago now, but I have faith in him.
I say this partially because I also have faith in the venue. While I wouldn’t want to see a pyrotechnic metal band there (come to think of it, I doubt I’d want to see a pyrotechnic metal band anywhere), I know from personal experience that Club Café is a great place to see an acoustic act. Intimate setting, nice sound, good beer on tap, and, as of less than a year ago, excellent food.

Please keep in mind that this is Pittsburgh we’re talking about, and the list was intended for kids. Just enjoy the video!
