Hello Friends and Fans of Ishtar!
I hope December is treating you well.
Here at Ishtar headquarters, we are busy lining up shows and working on some new tunes for the holidays. Yay!
On Friday December 21, we will be playing at Hookah Bookah, Pittsburgh’s newest hookah bar on the Southside. Hookah Bookah is located at 2506 East Carson St across from the South Side Works. So when you are done shopping, come over and smoke some primo shisha while Ishtar serenades you. We start at 10PM and will play until midnight. Our featured dancer is Kari of Purple Matilda. She will be dancing around 10PM, so don’t be late! Cover is $5. However, if you text the word “hookah” to 91924, cover is only $3. Seating is limited, make a reservation today! www.hookahbookah.com www.purplematilda.com
On Saturday December 22, Ishtar will rock Jacques’ Holiday Jam! Bring your drum, bring whatever instrument you can play, bring a hipscarf and let’s *raq* around the dreidel or Xmaz tree! Snacks and/or bottles of cheer to share will be appreciated. I’ll bring sheet music, just be prepared to jam on Jingle Bells.
Jacques’ house is on the South Side Slopes at 2618 Stella Street Pittsburgh, PA 15203. Everyone is welcome to participate. Any questions, contact Jacques at jo...@nidhog.com
On December 31, Ishtar will be at Your Inner Vagabond’s New Years Eve Extravaganza! Performances by Life in Balance, Between Liberties, and Agnes Wired For Sound. There will be games (Mille Bourne and The Mork & Mindy Card Game) and crazy movies (Ishtar, Xanadu, and Breakin’ 2 - Electric Boogaloo). Wear your pajamas and get ready for a pillow fight! Admission is $7 before midnight and $10 after midnight.
