FRIDAY
It’s a tough choice between winin’ and cheesin’ at First Friday (maybe the psychic cartoonist will be there again?), the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert at the Wachovia Center, throwing up in one of the ladies’ room stalls at the First Unitarian Church (if you go to see The Good Life), not celebrating the Un-Happy 20th Anniversary of The Smiths Break-Up with karaoke at the Khyber, or learning about the Birth of Graffiti and watching the documentary “Cry of the City Part 1: The Legend of Cornbread” at PAFA (118 N. Broad St.) as part of the ongoing 215 Fest.
The rest of the weekend after the jump
SATURDAY
During the day, make the decision to either participate in a Revolutionary War reenactment on Germantown Ave., show your well-worn pages some affection at the Lovingly Bound Book and Arts Fair at the Latvian Society (531 N. 7th St.), or take a trip out to Upper Darby for the Philly Dance Fest, over eight hours of jumps and leaps and leotards. At night, it’s up to you: check out the world’s largest sneaker and street-based art show, Sneaker Pimps, at the Trocadero (don’t miss the performance by Nouveau Riche), shake your hipster booty at Sal’s with the Crimp Yr Hair DJs and very special drink specials, or listen to Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain read from their book “Please Kill Me: An Oral History of Punk” at National Mechanics.
SUNDAY
Wake up early and make your way over to the Philadelphia Glass Works at 908 N. 3rd St. for the Female Flame-Off glassblowers competition at 10:00 a.m. or sleep in until Voxtrot does the fox trot across your heart at the First Unitarian Church later that night.
