What To Do This Weekend
What am I doing this weekend? Oh, good– I’m so glad you asked, Philadelphia.
FRIDAY:
Tonight, in this incredibly cool weather of 87 degrees, I will be suiting up in a black cardboard nuclear warhead costume that is taller than me. Here’s the first of many webisodes I’m shooting with/for The Project for Nuclear Awareness as their mascot, “Nukette” to promote the Bombs Away Summer Film Series.
….If you come, I promise I wont hit you with my purse. The deets are below.
//Bombs Away Summer Film Series Hopefully you’ll join me and the Ban All Nukes Generation for the second installment of their summertime film series. Tonight they will be showing the Kubrick classic, “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” at The Magic Gardens on South Street at 6pm tonight.
// Artemisia Jewelry and Children’s Clothes Trunk Show An exclusive jewelry & children’s clothes trunk show @ BUS STOP on Friday, June 26 5:30pm to 8:30pm.
“Marisa Lombardo has kept a very small toolbox and has worked on minimally affecting the environment by discovering the beauty in re-purposed metals, antiques, stones and fabrics. Each piece of jewelry & garment of clothing is one of a kind and each has its’ own story.”
Also: BUS STOP will also have a one night only sale – 15% OFF any summer shoe or handbag purchase!
SATURDAY:
//Vetri Book Signing at Anthropologie To quote E-CookBooks, “Philadelphia enjoys one of the country’s most dynamic food scenes, and Marc Vetri is its top culinary talent”… so come out to Anthropologie in Rittenhouse this weekend to meet Marc and have your copy of his first book, “Il Viaggio Di Vetri”, signed.
// Last Friday opening at Astro Vintage Plaid Pony tipped us off on Twitter that there’s a Last Friday opening at Astro Vintage tonight at 8 pm. Astro Vintage is located on 720 S 5th St (below Bainbridge).
//Sugar Town loves Girls Rock Philly Benefit I’ve been playing the guitar since the ripe age of 13 and everything I was taught, I was taught by men: a male guitar teacher, male band-mates, etc. That wasn’t a bad thing, but when I heard about Girls Rock Philly at Ignite Philly, it made me really wish that there was something like this available for me 10 years ago.
For those of you not familiar with Girls Rock Philly:
“Girls Rock Philly (GRP) is an initiative to bring Philadelphia a girls-only, week-long summer day camp serving junior rockers ages 9-17. Led by a team of all female instructors & band coaches, girls in the program learn how to play musical instruments, write songs, make their own band merchandise, discover other women in rock & finesse their on-stage jump kicks.”
Support them this Saturday at The Tritone! $5, 9pm.
Have a great weekend!
