Can't Miss This!

The weather is causing a flare-up in our SADS and we aren't too optimistic for much improvement before the big V-Day tomorrow. It's a busy day in IstVille, and we can't promise the same amount of wit (we are witty, aren't we?) and substance we usually offer to our Can't Miss This! readers, but we hope you find something below to keep you busy tonight. Here are a few things to do inside, away from the flood watches and warnings. You know, where it doesn't look like the first 15 minutes of The Day After Tomorrow.

MOOD FOR LOVE, PART TWO
Okay, so we missed part one. Well, part two is two hours long so we figure we'll play some catch-up. FIIDLA rocks several instruments, most notable the electric violin. Incidentally, he also pulls off the pensive-and-shirtless look rather well on his web site. He'll be rocking with friends to a combination of soulfully romantic and danceable selections. A good way to mentally and sonically prepare for the holiday tomorrow, and probably a good date event, too.
WHO: Anyone!
WHERE: The Rotunda, 40th and Walnut Streets (map)
WHEN: 7:00pm - 9:30pm
HOW MUCH: $20 at the door; $15 in advance; $10 for Seniors and Students. Get 'em here.

ARTHUR MILLER'S THE PRICE
Tonight the Walnut Street Theater presents Miller's tale of two brothers and the strains that come with hanging on when you should be letting go. This is another two-hour event, so visit the little-Phillyist-readers' room before you leave (or hold it until the 15-minute intermission). It's all very well-written and, though we can't speak for the acting, one usually has to try to screw up an Arthur Miller piece.
WHO: Anyone!
WHERE: The Walnut Street Theater, 8th and Walnut Streets (map)
WHEN: 8:00pm - 10:30pm
HOW MUCH: From $10 to $57.50, depending on where you want to sit. Get 'em here.

PHILADELPHIA'S ABOLITIONISTS AND THE TRANS-ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE
V. Chapman-Smith, regional director of the National Archives and Records Administration, and Kenneth Finkel, executive director of arts and culture at WHYY will give a talk tonight regarding Philadelphia's important role in battling the slave trade in the late-18th century and early-19th century. This a good way to get to know how Philadelphia history goes beyond what entrances the throngs of tourists that stomp around Independence Mall. You never know: you just might learn something.
WHO: Anyone!
WHERE: The Atwater Kent Museum of Philadelphia, 15 South 7th Street (map)
WHEN: 6:00pm - 7:30pm
HOW MUCH: $5 for adults; $3 for seniors and teens ages 13-17; Free for members.
