What is the appeal of JustSeen.com?

Other than an online scavenger hunt type thing? I don't feel any need to logon there.

So what?! ... In L.A. I have seen EDdie Murphy in a Starbucks (isomewhere in L.A. I don't even know where I was); Leonardo DiCap, Lindsay Lohan (sigh) and Lucy Lui and other people I knew and didn't even know of in the super super cool (and hot) hotel I was staying in; + Christina A. In the VIP section of Hyde; Rusted Root's Michael Glabicki backstage at the L.A. House of Blues on Sunset in West Hollywood ...

I mean, other than Glabicki being backstage because he was doing something (rockin' the hell out of the House of Blues on Sunset Blvd) and, well, Leonardo doing a photo shoot in a Tux w/ canvas converse lounging poolside and then falling backwards into the salt water pool in that Tux and those black converse --- what's there to report and care about? It was also cool seeing Eddie, Lindsay (sigh), Christina (sigh ... Now she's divorced from that bottom feeder) ... What's the big deal ... It's normal everyday life?! ... What, are we so obsessed w/ interesting, good looking, gifted aura people's everyday life that we use the new media to broadcast it everywhere so ordinary people can share the vibrations that Celebs create on their particular strands of web in the web of life ... Everyday life ... (I just saw Madonna in Pittsburgh ... She was smiling at me and we had total eye sex on the sidewalk) ...

Welcome to ROCKTOBER at Mr. Smalls!

Creative.Life.Support: Amazing News

We Have Fiscal Sponsorship!!!

Creative.Life.Support, the non-profit arm of Mr. Smalls, is responsible for the wide-range of philanthropic services offered in conjunction with Mr. Smalls Theatre, Recording Studio & Skatepark, to provide learning, artist career development and professional opportunities for the music and action sports communities.

We are so excited to announce that Creative.Life.Support has just been accepted as a project of New Sun Rising, a non-profit organization that supports grass roots projects in the Pittsburgh region through fiscal sponsorship. This new relationship will enable us to apply to a wider and deeper breadth of granting organizations and to accept charitable contributions toward continuing & furthering these projects & goals.

This means that now anyone can make a tax-deductible donation to help support Creative.Life.Support's programs such as: the Smalls Summer Xtravaganza, Real.Life.Music Camp, Real.Life.Skate Camp and our College Internship Program!

PittsburghGives' Day of Giving is Today

We love New Sun Rising. They will be a great help to Creative.Life.Support in the next couple years of our development.

TODAY, Wednesday, October 13th, 2010, all charitable donations to New Sun Rising made through PittsburghGives.org will receive a portion of The Pittsburgh Foundation's $500,000 matching pool. Give to NSR at anytime on that day and your gift will make an even greater impact in our community.

Giving to New Sun Rising touches your community in so many ways. Those with an interest in community libraries, growing and donating organic produce for the food bank, compelling and immersive gallery art, positive and diverse youth experiences, regional industrial history, youth action sports and music training, and zombie operas will be pleased to know- you'll be supporting them ALL!

Pittsburgh's Biggest Pajama Party!

On October 1st Mr. Smalls entertained 140 guests at the Pittsburgh Pajama Party. The party was hosted by, friend of Mr. Smalls, James Conner. James organized and promoted the party that featured some of Pittsburgh's most talented tribute artists. Higher Ground (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and No Control (311) played the evening to a very responsive crowd.

The idea is in direct response to some of our pre show surveys where 66.7% of our guests said they would be interested in some type of Mr. Small's alternative programming. Your voice definitely counts in our little world. The success of this event has made us hungry for more. In the works we have another show hosted by James and his crew. We are looking into a holiday beer tasting to launch the seasonal Christmas beers in our area and also a possible Studio 54 Disco Night and a Thrift Shop Prom.

Do you think you have the pull to throw a party at Mr. Smalls? If you do, feel free to contact jimmie@mrsmalls.com. We are able to guide you to a super fun, and with some hard work, a profitable evening for your fledgling promotional career. Thank you to everyone who attended our event and to all the staff who worked the evening. Show us what you got Pittsburgh!


The Smashing Pumpkins On Stage

We've had some really incredible artists through Mr. Smalls Theatre lately. Artists who are really too big to have any business playing a 650 capacity venue are coming to Mr. Smalls because they really want to, from Snoop Dogg to Interpol to The Arctic Monkeys and The Smashing Pumpkins. We thought you'd enjoy this spectacular photo of The Smashing Pumpkins taken by Creative.Life.Support Photography intern, Jessica DeLuca.

Fall Skatepark Hours:

Okay, so now it's getting a little colder and school is in, so we're opening on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 4pm to 8pm. Saturday and Sundays we still open at noon and riding goes till 8pm. Cool? Cool.

We may also be open for select holidays and school days off, so keep an eye on mrsmalls.com for special event announcements.

What about Winter?

Well, winter comes when it comes and nobody really knows when that will happen, right? We will stay open as long as we can as long as enough people keep coming. You might ask: "well, since you now have the new indoor mini-ramp, why can't you stay open in the winter?" The answer is: we'd really like to. And maybe we will if there is enough demand from the riders. Maybe we'll do special events or special skate nights. Why don't you let us know what you think, because after all this is all for the riders, so we need to know what you want to happen and what you'll come out for. Email all your ideas to us at: info@mrsmalls.com.

I'll be tuning-in and dropping-out from all other media (well, at least, trying to) for the "new" HBO Bill Maher w/ you ... Yeah, I "called it" ... You're the "right" answer to Julia Allison. (I haven't met you yet in person so I'm not certain if I can compare and contrast anything else) ...
