Fun around town, for $10 or less:

This weekend there are several cool dance events going down, most of them on the cheap. We were going to front-load (dance-load?) Frugal today, but then thought it might be better to devote a little more space to each. Besides, with all this slushiness, wouldn't you rather watch other people move than do so yourself?

Ah, love. Though we may not have an overflow of the brotherly variety, Philly is offering plenty of options for those happy couples looking to sanctify said happiness with boxes of chocolates and a night on the town. We’ll tackle the latter here; we've given you some chocolate-related goodness already.

6. Pony, Celebration. Video here. Katrina Ford's crazy breathless stacatto chirping "I just want to be with you" over a sick bassline kicks this party into overdrive. Or maybe I just have a thing for anti-hero type female lead singers. Either way. It works.

5. After kidnapping her two children, Britney Spears goes on the lam before being finally caught in Old City, Philadelphia, attempting to stuff her sons into the Liberty Bell. Seems she thought it was a ride of some sort.

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. You know what your cat needs? A wig! Ah, the internet and its fascination with doing strange and terrible things to cats... (Via) Dude, a dinosaur mummy. Scientists have found the remains of a hadrosaur that have been mummified by a natural fluke of time and chemistry. It's one of only five dinosaurs to be found in this...

On stage, Regan J Farquhar wears a plain pink shirt with white block lettering that says, “Sorry, the underground happened 10 years ago.” In between songs, he sways gently from the stage rafters with his eyes closed and his head back in the midst of an impromptu freestyle. Riding high/spiting/rolling by rushing on this suck and jive/Busdrive/shit. Jumping into a bouncy beat something like Kanye, Mia and a rave, he moans into the microphone, stumbles...

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Are you a meanderthal? Not sure? Check the urban dictionary, and beware! Apparently the word could soon be heading to the real dictionary. (Via Jill) Uh oh - looks like the upper ups at Warner Bros. demanded some last minute changes to the ending of I Am Legend. That's rarely good news... Supposedly The Movie Blog got their hands on some...

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Frank Darabont changed the ending of The Mist for the movie - and King approved. Not only is Guitar Hero III expected to single-handedly cause huge growth in the video game industry, it's also apparently causing growth in album sales for the artists whose songs appear in it. Heads up, amateur scribes and video game fans! BioWare is...

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. A handy list for frequenters of fast food restaurants like ourselves: The 88 Fast Food Items Most Likely To Kill You. We're pleased to say that most of these are from places we don't ever go to. But we're depressed to see McDonalds' fries and Burger King's chicken fries included. We love those! (Via Sarah) And speaking of unhealthy foods, how about some...

3:10 to Yuma is another entry in Hollywood's current favorite genre: the remake. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, depending on how you look at such things), I can't compare it to the original, as I've never seen it. But I have seen this film, and it's about a down-on-his-luck fellow named Dan Evans (Christian Bale) who's trying to hold onto his ranch, even though a powerful local businessman is trying to drive him off the land so it can be sold to the railroad (a favorite plot device of Westerns). Evans has a bum leg from the Civil War, and a family that includes an older son who doesn't respect him (Logan Lerman), a younger son who looks up to him as a hero, and a lovely supportive wife (Gretchen Mol). As he sees it, they're all counting on him to protect them, to be a good role model, and to give them a good home and good life, and he's failing. So of course he agrees to come along when local lawmen need another man in their posse (which includes Byron McElroy, played by Peter Fonda, and Doc Potter, played by Alan Tudyk of Serenity fame) to help them transport the infamous, vicious killer and robber, Ben Wade (Russell Crowe), to the train that will take him to the prison at Yuma. The job will pay Evans the money he desperately needs to keep his ranch, and it'll make him look like a hero to his kids. The problem is, Wade's gang, now led by his loyal and brutal second-in-command, Charlie Prince (Ben Foster), is determined to rescue him before the train can take him, and they'll kill anybody who gets in their way. And Wade himself isn't exactly a peach either.

What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend.

The Philly Orchestra is finally back in town. Hooray!

I’ve always liked the music from .

Seattlest has a talk with the photographer from last week's "Segway Mom" and then experiences some dissension in the ranks over the question of wine vs. beer. It's not West Side Story, but about as close as they'll get. They're also still waiting on some inbox relief after a spammer is arrested.

Phillyist loves Restaurant Week. Like, a lot. (Seriously, that was only the first three links that came up when searching for "Restaurant Week" in the Phillyist archives.) Unfortunately, Restaurant Week only happens twice a year. And it's not actually a full week when it does happen.

"Where's the Philadelphia Orchestra?" you might ask. Well, they're on tour of the US for the next two weeks. We'll certainly miss them, but wish them the best while on the road.

by them. (This Phillyist definitely didn't write the plays she was acting in, that's for sure!)
