Rooftop Concert in Larkinville Set for August 8th and Will Cost $7

 Beatlemania returns to Larkinville with the fourth annual Beatles Rooftop Tribute concert on Thursday, August 8th.

Geno McManus and The Black Rock Beatles will be back on the rooftop of the Hydraulic Hearth restaurant, 716 Swan Street, playing the music of The Beatles down to Larkin Square and the Hydraulic Hearth Beer Garden. Seneca Street will be closed, allowing guests to view the rooftop concert from the street, Larkin Square, or the beer garden. The concert recalls the Beatles’ legendary last performance, in London 1969 and featured in the documentary film Let it Be.

The Beatles rooftop night has become one of the signature events of the Larkinville neighborhood, growing in size each of the last 3 years. Past attendees know that it can get crowded, which is why this year the event’s organizers will be selling $7 pre-sale tickets. Parking will be free in the Larkin Square parking ramp and in the lots along Exchange Street. Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite.

“Beatles night has grown from a pop-up we did on a whim 3 years ago into one of the biggest events for the neighborhood. Who knew people loved the Beatles so much…?” Said Hydraulic Hearth proprietor Harry Zemsky. “To ensure a great customer experience, this year we’re opening up our parking ramp for free parking, while selling $7 pre-sale tickers to help control the crowd size.”

Marco Rubio under pressure as MAGA rallies around sex trafficking suspects: report



Secretary of State Marco Rubio is facing mounting pressure from within the MAGA movement over the fate of Andrew and Tristan Tate, the manosphere influencers arrested last week on sex trafficking charges, according to a new report.

Rubio holds the authority to block or allow the Tate brothers' extradition to the United Kingdom — a decision that has become the focus of an increasingly vocal campaign from prominent figures on the right, The Bulwark reported Thursday.

Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) has emerged as one of the most outspoken advocates for the brothers, according to the report.

Hamadeh described their prosecution in both the UK and Romania, where they have for years faced rape and sex trafficking allegations, as politicized "lawfare" and called on the Trump administration to refuse extradition of the dual American-British citizens.

Other right-wing figures, including podcaster Nick Fuentes and commentator Patrick Bet-David, have echoed similar defenses, with Bet-David going so far as to call the Tates an inspiration to fatherless children.

The pressure comes despite — or perhaps because of — a documented pattern of goodwill between the Tates and figures close to Trump, the Bulwark reported.

The brothers have reportedly had friendly exchanges with Barron Trump and Donald Trump Jr., and Trump-aligned official Ric Grenell reportedly engaged with Romanian officials during the years the Tates were barred from leaving that country, shortly before travel restrictions were lifted.

The Tates were also reportedly socializing with administration figures in Washington just days before their arrest.

At a press conference this week, Rubio declined to say whether the State Department would intervene, telling reporters he didn't see a role for the department "at this moment" and that he wouldn't "opine on something that's still working through a legal process."

That carefully hedged language has left open the possibility of future involvement, even as both Rubio and Trump are reportedly not currently planning to act on the brothers' behalf, the Bulwark reported.

Adding to the pressure, Tate attorney Joseph McBride — a MAGA-aligned lawyer who has also represented Jan. 6 defendants — has been amplifying supportive commentary from administration-adjacent figures online, including a tweet from GSA official Paul Ingrassia referencing the "presumption of innocence."
