Not to be outdone by the wildly popular Whiteaker Block Party, the folks at Wandering Goat will host a neighborhood barbeque Friday that will feature — along with their delicious coffee, catch-all clientele and gorgeously greasy-haired baristas — musical performances by Heavenly Oceans and Traitor Hearts.

Just as Charlie Chaplin came in second at his own look-alike contest way back when, we’re betting that even Galifi anakis — he of the mega-hit comedy The Hangover — would get lost among the hirsute hipsters swarming this fair city.
