Sippin' by the River, wine and food tasting

Penn's Landing, Columbus Boulevard and Spring Garden Street

Sunday, 1-5 p.m., $40

www.sippinbytheriver.com

Take Restaurant Week, soak it in specialty wines and imported beers, miniaturize the food portions, throw in a little live music and a great cause, and you've got Sippin' by the River, an annual benefit for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than getting tipsy from snazzy bevs and enjoying the adorableness of cocktail weenies on toothpicks? Not to mention you'll be given the opportunity to boost your wine savvy, impressing all of your friends as you turn up your nose at Yellowtail for a French wine whose name you can't really pronounce without sounding like a tool. Whether you're genuinely interested or just want to avoid those friendly salespeople at the Wine and Spirits, fork over the forty bucks and go sip and socialize for a good cause.

A wise man once said that girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills. Here at Penn, it's hard to find someone, student or not, sans skills. Take, for instance, the lovely card-swiping ladies of Commons. They have wrist-flicking dexterity that you and I can only dream of. For all of you talented people out there who take pride in your creative juices and want to display them to big-shot business folks, the Creative Industries Career Fair is certainly the place for you. With featured industries ranging from architecture to music production, you're sure to find something that suits your fancy.
