FRIDAY_

Just go outside
Anywhere in town

I have been in the car for what feels like the last ten thousand years, eating cheap burritos and drinking many Wachusett Blueberry beers. I’m posting from New York and am psyched to be home tomorrow in the early morning. Come nighttime, I’ll be celebrating by taking a bike ride, maybe going for a walk down by the river, getting some Abyssinia and hanging out on various West Philly porches.

Tonight, if you’re already here, just go outside. Vibes are good and it’s First Friday, so many doors downtown will be open. If you feel like hanging out, the punx will be downstairs in the Church basement for this, while hippies will be upstairs in the Church chapel for this – both R5 joints.

SATURDAY_

North Star Bar

The Pinback frontman’s solo action. Indie rock about World of Warcraft and San Diego. 9pm, $12.

Exhibition Opening Lecture: Vanishing Worlds: Art and Ritual in Amazonia
University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology

This new exhibition at the museum opens tomorrow with a 2pm lecture by associate curator Dr. Clark Erickson. It runs through June and attempts to frame traditional Amazonian art in a context of use and meaning beyond the vast reductional containers of “local crafts” and “primitive art.” It should be good stuff.

Philly Craft Beer Fest
Philadelphia Cruise Terminal

Forty bucks for an afternoon of sampling mad beers in deep South Philly. You can go ride the ducks afteward.

SUNDAY_

Wake up early and eat brunch outside somewhere, then go check out the Archeology Museum exhibit – no lecture, but the museum is open for free on Sundays.

Borbetomagus
International House

Double-sax and guitar trio playing ultimate American destruction. These long-running free jazz heroes are playing their first Philly show in ages and ages thanks to Ars Nova. This is unmissable action for the Echo-era Dave Burrell, Pulse Demon Merzbow, and Sonic Youth side-project crews alike. $8, 8pm.
