Despite coming in like quite a lion, the month of March won't be all bad. Every Wednesday from March 7 to 28, The Bleu Martini in Old City will donate 15% of its happy hour proceeds to Greater Philadelphia Cares, that great volunteering organization we keep chatting about. There will be complimentary hors d'oeuvres and drink specials from 5:30-7:30. Phillyist asks: what easier way to give to charity than grabbing a martini and people-watching OC style?

Phillyist has to admit, we had to gag our inner fan girl and stick her in the closet in order to compose this post. She's convinced if we put the word out that author Neil Gaiman (squueeeeee!) will be speaking at Temple University's Mitten Hall (1913 North Broad Street) at 8PM on Thursday as part of their Poet and Writers Series, that there would be a sort of fantasy lovers stampede that would prevent her from getting to see him speak. I assured her that there's likely enough Gaiman goodness to go around. For the love our comics, please don't prove us wrong.

Andrew's Video Vault, the free monthly celebration of film, is doing things a bit differently this month. Instead of two free films, the audience will be treated to Season 27 of (featuring Christopher Eccleston as the eponymous Doctor) in its entireity. Phillyist has only had the opportunity so far to see the premiere episode - Rose - but we can tell you that if you're expecting the long-scarved, robot-dog toting Doctor they used to show on Channel 12 (Tom Baker), you're in for something quite different. AND if you go in expecting a medical drama...well, then you'll be in for something quite different indeed. The marathon starts at 6PM at The Rotunda (4014 Walnut Street). FREE

R5 Productions is offering not one but two all-ages punk rock shows this week at the First Unitarian Church (22nd and Chestnut Streets) - named, very cleverly, Holidays In The Slush Day #1 and #2. Each show features five acts from all over the world, including some acts (The Boils and Mischief Brew) from our own fair city. Holidays in the Slush #1 begins at 7:30PM Friday night and has an admission fee of $10. Slush #2 begins at 2:30 PM the next day - and has a slightly less frugal fee of $12; however, we did notice that participating band, Dillinger Four, promises "melodic naked punk mayhem" and "psychotic naked behavior from Patty", and we all know nudity will cost you extra. See R5 Productions' Shows page for more information and a full listing of the bands.

Fort Mifflin will throw open its doors every Friday and Saturday night in October for a truly spooky ghost tour extravaganza, sponsored by Philadelphia’s Country Station 92.5 WXTU (we hope that doesn't mean ho downs with the ghosts). Look for special offers, ticket giveaways and events scheduled at Fort Mifflin with XTU on-air personalities like “Leigh Richards.”
