PITTSBURGH — Life, uh, finds a way. Or in this case, the City Council found a way to celebrate one of Pittsburgh's most well-known actors: Jeff Goldblum.

In 2004, city leaders declared July 13 as "Jeff Goldblum Day." One event in the city is taking that to heart with a celebration of all things related to the actor and his body of work.

Artisan Tattoo Gallery on Penn Avenue hosted the party, celebrating with Jeff Goldblum Day shirts, themed tattoo specials, trivia, cosplays and a real-time painting of the actor. The event included tarot readings, themed drinks and astrology readings to see if you're compatible with Goldblum.

According to IMDB.com, the actor was born in Pittsburgh in 1952, making an impression on the silver screen with a single line in Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" film. Since then, the website reports, Goldblum has appeared as an actor in more than 125 various TV shows, movies, commercials and stage productions.
