Frugal Fun Alert - Weekend Edition

Fun around town, for $10 or less:

Movies of the Heart:Secret Cinema is teaming up with the Franklin Institute for their "51 Hours of the Heart Marathon" this weekend, and will be presenting love-inspired features in the Stearns Auditorium at the Institute. (222 N. 20th Street). Friday night's double-feature is The Bride of Frankenstein & This is My Love. Saturday night: the Reels of Romance collection of shorts. Each evening of films will only cost you $3.00.

FRIDAY
A Night of Err..Something from Plain Parade: Plain Parade presents what sounds to be an evening of ecclectic and unusal artits at Tritone (1508 South Street):  Edie Sedgwick, Porktamer, Hott Beat and Wang Newton. It certainly doesn't sound like you're average Friday night.  And for a $7 cover charge, we think it's worth taking the chance and trying something different.  The show starts at 10pm (21+)

Free Friday at Noon Concert: at XPN's World Cafe (3025 Walnut Street).  Today's artist are The Wood Brothers.  Admission is free, but RSVP is required

SATURDAY
Fun*A*Day:The folks of the artlash! collective challenged artists (and burgeoning artists) to pick a project and do it every day for the month of January. Stop by the Rotunda (4014 Walnut Street) begining 7pm this Saturday to see what those 31 days of artistic endeavors have wrought. And since admission to the show is free, you can spend your dollars in the charity art auction.
