Anton Chekhov Celebration at the PICTPICT opens its festival celebrating the works of Anton Chekhov with a fresh, "American" translation of Three Sisters by Paul Schmidt. Schmidt is known for his lively translations of Chekhov's work, revealing Chekhov's abundant humor while bringing a modern, particularly American relevance to the play. Three Sisters features Nike Doukas as Ólga, Allison McLemore as Másha, Vera Varlamov as Irina, Christian Conn as Andrèi Prózorov, and David Whalen as Vershinin. Join us as we observe the lives and secret desires of sisters Masha, Olga, and Irina as they each try to find happiness away from the excitement of Moscow - and within a household less and less in their control.

Tai Foon, Robinson
We had chicken and green beans and sautéed mango with shrimp, great summer fair and the price is right, no entrees over $8.99. Bill with three appetizers was under $40.00, and that included the corkage fee for bringing in a bottle of wine from the Wilcox Winery next door. The winery is convenient and they have a delightful selection that you might not find elsewhere including summer fruity wines. Tai Foon has no liquor license so it is BYOB.

Magic Mike Movie
Ladies for a feast for your eyes and a turnabout of the objectification of men for a change, don’t miss this one. It’s a first hand glimpse behind the scenes of a male dance club. You might be surprised at the dynamics and how a good looking man reacts to being treated only as an object of gratification rather than being appreciated for his fine mind and sensitive soul. Fun, but definitely not PG. Matthew McConaughey played a great character as the club owner and pardon us for being jaded - JRF and I are convinced that every man in the movie was living out a personal fantasy of being objectified.
Giant Eagle Market District in Robinson, Third Annual Best Burger Contest: Big Burger Bash, July 9th
Judged by: Tony Mollica, Market District Store Leader; Penny Folino from Penny's Plates TV; Burgatory; Larry Richert from KDKA
The hardest thing about attending this event was watching the judges try all the delicious burgers. Techno Granny personally met and did a video interview, (to appear later on PPL Mag), with the winner of the Best Veggie Burger. Later, I had to run by the food court and get some of Market District's wonderful pulled pork, mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. The burger watching definitely made me hungry.

These are the speakers that Techno Granny personally heard. I only attended two days of spirit filled, motivational speaking with great praise music and good gospel message but I wish I could have attended the entire week.

Over the past 43 years, Bhatti has performed for nearly every U.S. President since Gerald Ford as well has being honored at the opening of the Smithsonian Sikh Gallery in 2005. After picking up the dhol drum instrument as a teenager, he quickly won the hearts of India by the way he played and was invited by the Government of India to serve as cultural music liaison to the country via worldwide music tours to 25 countries.
First Class Banghra featuring PPL Mag Videographer Siddharth Pandit opened up with Punjabi/American Banghra and finised their set to a standing ovation. Then to the delight of everyone and especially those of us who had not heard Black Mahal before the audience rocked out with the group so much that I was concerned about the integrity of the upper loft at the Thunderbird Café as there were about 70 of us up there and another 60 crowded onto the stairs and who knows how many on the dance floor and that does not count those relegated to the first floor bar. I would say the concert was a rousing success. We especially like the group and Ustad’s rendition of “Save the Flavor in Your Mustache.”
Listen to that song here.
