When I was
growing up, there was always
some guy who had a
basement rec room. The room was furnished in family
cast offs like ugly torn
plaid couches, and an easy chair or two. Of course, this
kid always added his own
sparkling furnishings such as:
bean bag chairs,
Budweiser Kings Of Africa Posters, a
black light complete with
naked lady posters and the most
jamming sound system in a twelve
block radius.
This is what The Shadow Lounge looks and feels like. It is an
alcohol free,
tobacco free
home to Pittsburgh’s
spoken word scene, cool
underground hip hop shows, live
jazz fusion,
Afro-Cuban,
Brazilian house music and
The Pittsburgh Poetry Slam.
