Weekend Picks!

Delta Phi Disco
Presented by Sweet Jane Records, almost all my favorite deejays are throwing a huge disco bash at the Pilam House in University City. Beginning at 10pm and going as long as the law will allow, deejays Lovefingers, Ron Morelli, Ari G, Speculator, Josh Dunn and Mike Tee will spin you into oblivion. The disco won’t stop till the sun comes up! 10pm, $5, BYOB.

Hot Shop Hoedown & Furnace Fundraiser at East Falls Glassworks
Ever wonder how lumps of glass can be turned into beautiful art? Now’s your chance to learn how your mom’s favorite Murano vase was born. The instructors at East Falls Glassworks are having an open house studio demonstration for your inquiring minds and glass questions. While you’re there, you’ll get to hear live music, take part in some delicious rib cook-offs and bid in a live auction to benefit the center. Kids and families are welcome! 3pm-9:30pm,.

Calder Re_Wired!
Head to the Perelman Building of the PMA for an exciting tour of the Alexander Calder jewelry exhibit and the opportunity to make your own one-of-a-kind piece of art at the Make and Take Workshop.
Philadelphia’s favorite mobilist’s work gets new life through an interactive show featuring puppets, makes and mimes courtesy of Calder Re_Wired. This event is not only kid-friendly, it’s also accessible!
10:30am, free.
All Weekend
Dining Days
Need something to do this weekend? Check out University City’s Dining Days. We’ve been covering it this week , and you have plenty of tasty options! From Sansom Street’s hot spots like White Dog and La Terrasse, to the more obscure Westerly Dahlak and Fatou and Fama–if you’re hungry and cruising the student-free UCity, then grab a chair.
BalletX
Showing all weekend at the Wilma Theater, BalletX is an avant-garde and outré dance spectacle that will knock your socks, or pointe shoes, off. Snag your tix at the Wilma’s ticket site. To see uwishunu’s coverage of the new BalletX show, visit these handy links:
