Making Time is celebrating their 12th Anniversary tonight at Voyeur with Kindness, which is rather apropo! Dave P and crew have certainly shown it to the Philly indie music scene with all their hard work bringing the radness week after week, month after month. (Yes, if you’ve ever put together an event an eighth of the size of some of the ones that they have pulled off over the years, then you should know that it is definitely hard work.) Come out this evening and have a toast with the Making Time crew (it’s on them, PBR and Sailor Jerry from 9pm – 11pm)! Cheers fellas! Voyeur, 1221 St. James St., 9pm, $10 adv/$15 door, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
