Weekend Warrior, February 11 – 13

With the light at the end of the tunnel in sight for a February thaw, we are getting excited about shedding off all this winter gear. Well, this weekend you’ll still have to bundle up, but we have a couple of events that will get you warmed-up. First off, tonight we’ll be at South Philly’s The Station to celebrate our buddy and Assistant Editor Bill McThrill’s B-day! If you know Bill, then you know that he is simply a nice guy who has been such a positive influence and supporter of all things culturally enriching in Philly. Artists, music venues, art spaces, restaurants, and whatever you are into, Bill has most likely helped spread the word about how rad you are so now let karma work its magic and come out, buy him a drink, and let’s make sure that he has trouble making it to his bed. Bill helped put together a FREE show this evening with Flash Mob Productions for all of us to enjoy so don’t miss Deli favorites like Levee Drivers, Conversations with Enemies, Shorty Boy-Boy (just recently learned about him and really digging his lo-fi tracks) and On the Water as well as “fist pumping” tunes (j/k) by DJ Big Spliff Dawg! But we request that you save some energy for tomorrow because it will be a prolonged assault on the senses when The Deli Magazine presents “Aquarius Raging”, the annual rager that is doubling this year as a benefit for the Danger Danger Gallery. The lineup is packed will talented Danger Danger friends ready to throw down for a seriously good cause. Donating their time and skillz will be Dangerous Ponies, Gang, The National Rifle, Dinosaur Feathers, Spirit Animal, The Armchairs, Valleys and The Perfection!sts, who were brought together by Grandchildren’s Aleks Martray. Please check out our recent interview with Aleks about the event here and learn why you should be there too! The Station, 1550 McKean St., 9pm, 21+; Danger Danger Gallery, 5013 Baltimore Ave., 6pm, $10 donation, All Ages
