While camping out and meeting good folks as you listen to some laid-back tunes sounds like a good time, we’re more city dwellers at The Deli so it isn’t necessarily our first option (even though trippin’ out in the woods might be fun). Since you know that we’ll be roaming the venues of Philly, we think that you should meet us Saturday night for Conversations with Enemies’ CD Release Party at JB’s, where you’ll be treated to a guest lecture by the mad professor himself Jay Purdy (The Extraordinaires) on "How to Survive a Zombie Attack" as well as the traveling blues-folk party of Toy Soldiers and the raucous Brit-pop of Cheers Elephant. And of course, there’ll be a live performance by Conversations with Enemies who will be unveiling their ambitious venture Nowhere, OK, a delightfully fun album full of monster tales and jangly, upbeat indie pop that comes with a comic providing plenty visual and aural stimulation. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+
