What To Do This Weekend
Happy First Friday! It’s *fingers crossed* not raining yet… and there’s plenty of time to paint the town this weekend. First things first– here’s the weather!
FRIDAY:
//8bit & Beyond Gallery at Brave New Worlds Comic Book Shop I love the kids over at Brave New Worlds on 2nd street. Their First Friday events are always a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to seeing the 8bit & Beyond show tonight! Event opens at 6pm. Thanks to Geekadelphia.com for the info and Juanma from The Autumn Society for this sweet promo image.
//Ferris Bueller’s Day Off at The Piazza at Schmidt’s It would appear the sad news about John Hughes made it’s way to the Northern Liberties, and the folks at the Piazza are paying their respects all day to the man that brought us Sixteen Candles and Home Alone.
//UHURU Flea Market at Clark Park I’m a fan of UHURU. I’m a fan of flea markets. I’m a fan of Clark Park (ice cream, LARPers and all!)… so naturally I’m 300% about this spring-summer-fall happening on 43rd & Baltimore. Deets here. OH! aaaand I heard a rumor our friends catFlowers may even be there.
SUNDAY:
//MakePhilly Bottlerocket BBQ Make Philly, The Hacktory and Hive 76 provide Philly with a lot of DIY fun… so I’m not surprised to hear that they’re having an awesome potluck-bbq-DIY-make-stuff-fly day. Here’s some deets I stole from their site:
Come on our for our 3rd annual MakePhillly potluck BBQ and shoot some WATER ROCKETS with us!Bring food! Brink drink! Have a grill? Bring it! As has become tradition, we’re going to be holding a potluck BBQ and launching water rockets. Water rockets are made from plain old soda bottles which are filled half way with water and then pressurized with a bicycle pump. Pimp your water rocket out with fins, colors, and bedazzle.It’s super easy to make one…. check out how here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Water_Rocket/IMPORTANT: We will not launch anything that burns, explodes, or uses any fuel other then water and compressed air. No bottle rockets, no potato cannons, etc. We will be in a public park, and we need to make sure things stay safe!
