We have performed, we have pigged, we have paraded

Highlights of Saturday's festivities? The pig, the performances at Theatre Project (Diane Edgecomb's solo work "Restraints," and Jolka's duo "Passages"), the parade of the pig (see clip below, narrated by Tom Megan, rocket scientist from Boston), seeing faces oft-hoped-for, meeting dozens of new faces, and well of course the EATING...not just pig, but corn bread and green beans and baked beans, oh my!

We have debuted!

LABS welcomed its debutantes with an impressive array of food (grilled, pulled, baked, casseroled, and most things in between), shelter from the storm, exotic Balkan movie projections, and a bottomless supply of lager.

And we raised hundreds of dollars in support of Argentinean actress/dancer Perla Logarzo's 2010 performance/teaching tour to the US!

We couldn't be more pleased. Talk back to us about this event, and stay tuned for our next alley hootenanny - likely in the coolness of autumn.

Three days to go

Movies and food and beer, oh my!

We'll be projecting a movie on the wall of the building opposite ours, for visual delight.

The food, well, we had a menu sampling on Sunday and really, you don't want to miss this: homemade hamburger buns and pita bread are just the newest accomplishments of the 1211 household.

And beer! Drink it! Or don't! Either way, just come on over this Saturday.
