If it weren't for our life as an -ist, we're not sure we'd ever leave our apartment. Fortunately, to fully -ist, one must seek out the new, the fresh, and the unknown. Brand new, or just new to us, that's what we're all about this week.

C'mon, admit it: you haven't washed that filthy old car of yours since Clinton was in office. So why not take it up to the parking lot next to Walt's Circle Tavern - right off Oxford Circle on Route 1 in Northeast Philly - between noon and 5PM tomorrow and get it washed by the Philly Roller Girls? (Check out our fun interview with them here.) They'll do it for you (on their skates, we hope) for only $8 (with a half-price discount for police and fire vehicles), and the money will go to fund their new travel team, who are headed to Las Vegas in November to face the Sin City Roller Girls. While you're there, you can pick up tickets to the league's first ever championship bout, which takes place September 10th, and features competition between two undefeated teams: the Broad Street Butchers and the Philthy Britches.

This week, we’re starting something new. You see, we’ve just about run out of generic quotes about theatre to use for headlines, and the few times we’ve used less common quotes, we’ve had a few people contact us in rather a lot of confusion. So, we’re going to begin explaining the more, er, “in-quotes,” right here. If you’ve got any theatre-related quotes you’d like us to use, e-mail the quote, play/song, and context to us (contact info is at the end of each week’s listings), and we’ll be happy to use it sometime. This week, we begin with . The headline quote comes from Edmund’s monologue in 1.2; in it, Edmund has decided to ruin his family so that he can claim his half brother's inheritance. Good times are subsequently had by all. Now, on with the listings!

You may not know the name Jenny Holzer, but you've probably seen at least one of the products of her enormously influential body of work. For almost thirty years, she has explored the expressive potential of public text. On Wednesday, November 16, the artist offered a retrospective of her work and insight on her creative process to a packed house at the Institute of Contemporary Art on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Part aphoristic philosopher and part conceptual installation artist, Holzer and her contemporary Barbara Kruger, with their emphasis on the word and on the ambiguities of received wisdom, have likely been among the most influential artists of the last quarter-century.
