Save Ferris

An 80's Fundraiser for the Red Cross

Suite 450

450 N. 6th St.

Thu, 10 p.m.-2 a.m., $10 on the Walk, $15 at the door

Remember that Cubs game? Radical! How about when we stole my dad's car? Tubular! And that art museum ... that was kinda awesome. Man, our day off with Ferris was gnarly. It's a shame Bueller now needs a blood transfusion. So put on your best Ed Rooney costume and head to Suite 450 for this Red Cross benefit so we can Save Ferris. Everyone should come in costume. The theme is the '80s. The drinks will be cheap. And if that's not enough incentive, there might be some Theta girls attending too.

@Street Body Text 2004:Giovanni's Room advertises itself as "America's world-class lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender bookstore with all the trimmings." These good folks will be hosting Radclyffe, who has published a number of lesbian mysteries and romances. She will read and discuss her upcoming novel, Honor Guards. And you thought lesbians only made pornos. Shame on you!

The Aftermath

Filo's Restaurant & Lounge

@Street Body Text 2004:If you like hip hop but don't like typical night clubs, Filo's is for you. Every Wednesday, DJ Adam Bomb, a member of the local Skratch Mekaniks crew, spins the latest underground hits, as scenesters lounge around the cozy quarters. This is a great way to spend a night blunted with your friends, especially since Adam Bomb often slips a lot of songs by local artists into the mix. If you're curious about the Philly rap scene, you should register for this DJ's introductory course. It sure beats Stat 111.

Secret Cinema: The Chelsea Girls

Andy Warhol made a bunch of underground films. Some people think that they are amazing. Others have the opposite opinion. But in 1967, he released 'Chelsea Girls,' his most coherent movie, which most watchers liked, even though it's still sort of wacky. Like much of his work, there isn't really a plot. Mostly it just depicts beautiful people having conversations with each other or just sitting around silently. In its own strange way, the film is absorbing, but, at three and a half hours long, it's a marathon that you may not have the stamina for.
