If you haven’t noticed yet, we do love the weird at The Deli. So let’s get freaky deaky tonight at PhilaMOCA for Eraserhood Forever (And Ever). It’s the return of the Moz’s highly successful David Lynch-themed party. Celebrate the renassaince man’s life and works with a curated art show and performances by Philly’s own Weird Hot, Pittsburgh-based orchestral ensemble Silencio, and burlesque courtesy of Miss Rose and friends. There will also be the world premiere screening of PhilaMOCA-created short film, Eraserhood Forever, a portrait of the rapidly evolving neighborhood, and once again, Ben Velvet (a.k.a. Paul Triggiani from Secret Pants) will be host. And if all this fun isn’t enough for you, there will be an after-party at The Trestle Inn with featured Eraserhood-themed drinks. BTW: Get there early because this event will sell out! But then again, who’s really counting the capacity? PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 6pm Art Show/8pm Entertainment, $10, All Ages – Alexis V.
