Can't Miss This!

Happy birthday Andy Warhol!

ESP PrisonSUMMER TWILIGHT TOURS AT EASTERN STATE PENITENTIARY
Yes, an abandoned prison is scary any time of day or night. But the folks over at Eastern State Penitentiary are hoping a Twilight Tour will provide the perfect ambiance for an evening behind bars. The "Left Behind" tour features replicas of the minutiae that once littered the prison: photos, crafts and other paraphernalia that prisoners and guards would have used during the prison's active years. The "Prison Uprisings" tour focuses on the history of riots at the prison.
WHO: Anyone!
WHERE: Eastern State Penitentiary, 21st and Fairmount (map)
WHEN: Last entry at 7pm.
HOW MUCH: $12.00 Adults, $8.00 Kids (Age 7 - 12), $8.00 Students, $8.00 Senior Citizens. Pay at the gate.

QUIZZO AT GIGI'S IN OLD CITY
This is a weekly Wednesday night of questions, beer buckets, and prizes. If you think you're smart and you like to show off your intelligence while drinking massive amounts of cheap beer in the middle of the work week, you're not alone. Mind-numbing nine-to-fives may make you feel like you're wasting that over-priced college education, for which you'll be paying until you're 40. But don't give in to the workforce brain drain. Kick back and have a few while you make your fellow patrons feel dumb.
WHO: 21+
WHERE: Gigi's, 3rd and Market Streets (map)
WHEN: From 8pm to 12am.
HOW MUCH: $15 Bud buckets.

ROCK ' N ' BOWL AT NORTH BOWL
If the complimentary tater-tot buffet isn't enough for you, all hope is lost. But we'll try anyway. In addition to the free tots, you can enjoy $2 Games, $2 Newcastle cans and $4 Grapefruit cocktails. That's a lot of bowling and a lot of drinking. That's why they aim to keep the tots coming. North Bowl will be rocking the night away with tunes spun by Steven Bloodbath. This is our pick for the evening.
WHO: 21+
WHERE: North Bowl, 2nd and Poplar-ish (map)
WHEN: From 6pm to 9pm.
HOW MUCH: $2 Games, $2 Newcastle cans and $4 Grapefruit cocktails. Oh, and did we mention the free tots yet?
