Let it be said, first, that I am glad this little drama exists and look forward to seeing more.

We love puppets. We really love puppets. In fact, the only thing that we may love more than puppets is pasta. So how happy are we that we’ll be able to combine both of our loves this weekend when Great Small Works rolls into town, bringing their famous Spaghetti Dinner/Toy Theater evening to the Rotunda. Puppet Uprising hosts the New York natives for two shows, Friday and Saturday night at 7:30PM.

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.

In honor of Phillyist's favorite holiday, we're delving into the darker side of Philadelphia's nightlife to spotlight Scaryoke at Ulana's (2nd and Bainbridge Streets). Part of "Despondent Heaven" (a weekly Goth-night featuring gothic, metal, industrial, punk, and new wave music party), Scaryoke is just what you'd imagine it is: Goth Karaoke (We guess not everyone likes to sing Petula Clark's greatest hits when crooning for strangers). Phillyist has heard good things about Scaryoke - and the second we manage to stay up late enough to attend (Despondent Heaven starts at 9PM, but Scaryoke doesn't get started 'till midnight) we're all about it. And we're pretty sure could be considered Goth, if you performed it right. Despondent Heaven is $3, and you must be 21 or older to get in.
