Attention all Moms & Dads: if you thought you had to hand in your dancing shoes once you began bronzing those of your offspring, think again. The first Sunday of every month is Baby Loves Disco at Fluid (613 S. 4th Street) - where a DJ will spin for you and your little ones in a smoke-free, child-friendly environment from 2-5pm. Not only will you be able to get your groove on to some grown-up music from the 70s & 80s...but when your kid reaches the terrible teens and complains you never let them do anything cool, you can say, "Are you kidding? I took you clubbing when you were !" Baby Loves Disco is $8 per person, or $30 for a family (including 2 adults and up to 3 children). You and your toddlers can next shake what your mammas gave you on Sunday the 4th.

This week, we're highlighting an activity beyond our city borders. But as it's (a) easily accessible by PATCO and (b) for a good cause, we'll brook no complaints.

Art Spiegelman, author and artist behind the ground-breaking, best-selling, Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel , will be speaking about the history of comics and their changing role in society and popular culture. (And, we hope, explaining why he insists on spelling the word "comics" as "comix." Phillyist is a fan of Speigelman and has great respect for him as a storyteller and innovator - but we're not altogether sure that his Pulitzer gives him the right to change the spellings of words willy-nilly.) The program starts at 8PM, and costs $8 ($5 for students).

Featured Picks of the Week:

Tonight at North3rd (3rd and Brown Streets in Northern Liberties), Skeletor - professional thorn in He-Man's side turned stagebound crooner - will be perfoming for your free listening pleasure. (Phillyist is a sucker any event where cartoon characters step out into the real world. Blame it on repeated viewings of ). Afterwards, stay for films from local and independent auteurs at the weekly local film showcase, Fancy Pants Cinema. The shennanigans begin at 9PM.
