What is there to say about Peter Pan that hasn't been said already? It's a fifty-three-year-old musical with a storied past (Veronica Lake even cut off her signature locks for the chance to play the title character) and familiar and memorable songs. The show is always staged the same way (in fairness, it kind of has to be), and so any differences from production-to-production occur in the set and the cast. The former, designed for...

Considering that Phillyist needs a new car, we're a little disappointed that we just gave up knitting (and donated the accoutrement to a worthy cause even). Scion is sponsoring a DIY contest, Craft My Ride, which challenges the crafty among us to design a car accessory (which they helpfully define for us) and get the chance to win a 2008 Scion xD five-door subcompact. You have until October 22 to submit images and a description of your handmade doodad; finalists will mail in an example of their design.

Maybe a knitted hula girl bobbly? A dashboard cell phone caddy?

Sure, you can wander through art gallery after art gallery tonight. The same places you always go, with the same cheap wine you always drink. Or, you can take advantage of the fact that there's always a First Friday during the Live Arts and Fringe Festivals, and there are plenty of free or pay-what-you-can PLAF events you can hit tonight and for the next week.
