Looking for something to do on Sunday?  Head out to South Park for a tea dance featuring the reunion of the Shari Richards Band for this one time event only.  (Fusing Steely Dan with the Pointer Sisters according to one organizer).

A tea dance?  Apparently its a long standing gay tradition of afternoon parties featuring dancing, socializing and fun.  You bring your own refreshments and beverages, pay admission to cover the cost of the facility and entertainment and have a good time.  They've held these events at local firehalls because there are no "good" lesbian bars around Pittsburgh.

I heard about this via an email list and it took me a few days of digging to get some answers on what exactly a tea dance was, who the organizers were and who was welcome (they used a vague reference to "our community" in the original emails).  I've since ascertained that it does mean our entire community, but I'm just guessing that the event skews a bit older (based on the music). 

Tickets are $10.00 and available at the door.  Doors open at 1 PM.  Entertainment begins at 2 PM

Location is the South Park Museum Building at the South Park Fairgrounds.  Big clock on building so you cannot miss it.

If you check it out, let me know how it goes.
