Do you like records? How about cheap booze? A pig roast? Schubas Tavern is throwing its first ever “Pig, Swig and Record Dig” event on Saturday, Oct. 1.

From 11-4 p.m., the curious and the hungry can peruse CDs and LPs from Saki, Laurie’s Planet of Sound, Dusty Groove, Permanent and others while imbibing Sailor Jerry cocktails.

That’s not all. If you ever admired the gig posters hanging up at Schubas, this is also your chance to snag a couple by great area artists such as Jay Ryan, Spike Press, Delicious Design League, Justin Santora and more.

The all ages event is free, but the records and booze are not. So bring your money down to Schubas, located at 3159 N. Southport Ave. near Belmont.
