A couple weeks back, Staffski posted about movie nights at Project 53. Well, it looks like the first date has been set and the first movie selected —
SUN JAN 31 – 7pm showing Touch the Sound: A Sound Journey with Evelyn Glennie (2004) this movie is not rated but is appropriate for all ages
While still a student, Evelyn Glennie learned that she was going deaf. Rather than abandon her study of music, in which she had shown such talent, she instead turned her focus toward percussion instruments and developed her ability to feel the sound through her body. This documentary follows her as she performs in New York, Germany and Tokyo, sharing her insights into the nature of music and the ways in which we experience it.
The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Don’t Look Back (Dylan)

Project 53 also offers open hours every Wednesday from 6-8 pm for usage of the practice space, instrument library, or anything else you can think of. And there always seems to be something brewing at Project 53. According to a recent article —
… Project 53, a converted Polish Hill house, is taking advantage of the opportunity to introduce itself to Pittsburgh fans of both music and community. Project 53 fills a void that most didn’t even know existed — a family-friendly resource for free music. Neither concert venue nor bar, it’s intimate (capacity is around 80), with a potluck supper and good folks playing great music. Read the entire City Paper article
Plan a visit sometime soon. Staffski is sure that you will thoroughly enjoy the experience.
