Weekend Warrior, February 8 – 10

Yeah, the weather is pretty darn crappy out. While it could be worse, last year’s taste of global warming has spoiled me when it comes to Philly winters. I don’t know about you, but I could sure use a vacation to some place warm right about now. Unfortunately, I’m just a struggling writer that could probably only afford taking the mass transit line to the airport, and maybe a few drinks at the terminal bar. So I guess I’ll have to leave it all behind at Nude Beach Presents’ first installment of their monthly parties at Underground Arts this Saturday night with Vacationer, Robert Delong and Cruiser. I know. That is far from the feeling of dipping your toes in the sand on a tropical beach. However, with the copious amount of herb that I’ll be smoking mixed with all the free Sailor Jerry spiced rum that the bartenders will allow me to consume before politely cutting me off, I won’t know the difference until I wake up the next morning on my couch (either fully clothed or naked). Come forget what it’s like outside with me! Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 10pm, $8, 21+ – Alexis V.
