More events that are going on sale this weekend (see the previous list here):

This Saturday night the folks of Plain Parade will be packing the intimate The Manhattan Room (15 W. Girard) full of indie music. Performing will be Philly's own post-rock National Eye , as well as pop-rockers (and bloggers) The Spinto Band , popsters Pas/Cal, and Illumina - " a collective of eight musical friends " who, according to their domain, love you (or maybe they love us; that part wasn't clear). Whether Illumina (and the other bands) love you personally or not, you can see them all for a mere $7. And although our affections can't be bought, we must admit a $7 cover charge with no drink minimum kinda makes us love them, and Plain Parade too.

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).
