Shiloh Grill, The Harris and Club Cafe
In a radical departure from the two-month history of this blog, let’s ignore the weekend and come up with a few things to do next week: Comedy, classic movies and beer.
Conrocktions, Sketch Comedy and a Holiday Classic
Unlike the regular season events, the Pittsburgh Public Theater will let you bring your drinks in with you for Saturday's Second City show. As with all comedy, please drink heavily; it’ll seem that much funnier.
Take a Sick Day on Monday ('Tis the Season)
I'm declaring this weekend lasts until Monday so you can go see a baseball game. Really.
Three 'Burgh-Bred Flicks Out Now. Plus: BRGR & Sharp Edge
Go out while you still can: Three films shot in the 'Burgh are in wide release, plus the East End offers plenty of places for burgers and brews. But everything I said last week about avoiding the mall still applies.
Stay In. Repeat. Then Go to Six Penn.
This weekend, I go against the very nature of the blog and, in the name of keeping you safe and warm this holiday weekend, recommend a few things to do … at home.
Holiday Wish List for the 'Burgh
Dear Santa: We promise we’ve been really good this year. We know that we’re asking you to fit a bunch of presents in your bag, Santa, but since we’ve been so good, do you think we could have all of these?
Billy Gardell
With a hit TV series making waves and a raucous stand-up special coming up, comedian and actor Billy Gardell is becoming a household name.

For this pre-holiday weekend, I’ve got a trio of picks: One each for music, comedy and just plain drinkin’.
Film! Drinks! The Three Rivers Film Festival Returns
We’re in the middle of the always-excellent Three Rivers Film Festival, the 29th annual event put together by Pittsburgh Filmmakers.
20 Hot Bars + 3 More Hot-ish Bars
A few hot bars that didn’t quite make the cut for the November cover story but are more than worth your while on any given weekend.
Watch: Steelers Scare at 'Fright Night'
After Sunday's road win, several Steelers players traded their helmets and jerseys for costumes and make-up and scared the crowd at Hundred Acres Manor's annual haunted house.
20 Best Bars in Pittsburgh
Your guide to the cocktail lounges, brew pubs, wine bars and dives that make Pittsburgh more than a "shot and a beer" town.
From Billy to 'Mike & Molly'
Swissvale-born Billy Gardell plays a titular role in "Mike & Molly," which debuts on CBS this fall and is likely to be one of this fall’s breakout hits.
Film & Nightlife: July 2010
One downtown hotel bar to avoid—and another worth a stop. Plus, there’s a secretive movie walking the shadow of The Joker.
