Tonight: Evan Schwartz at Gershman Y

Wet Circuit

Lately, we've been interested in getting to the bottom of children's authors and artists. (Remember our post on how we know Fraggle Rock so well, but we know Jim Henson not so much?) So we're pretty excited for tonight's reading by Evan Schwartz for $10 at the Gershman Y (401 S. Broad St., 215-446-3027) at 7 p.m., where he'll be talking about his book Finding Oz. It explores the children's author Lyman Frank Baum, whose classic tale The Wizard of Oz was turned into the beloved 1939 movie of the same name. Click here to check out a video featuring Schwartz, as well as some bizarre illustrations from the original book. And on that brainy note, there will also be a reading by Amy Whitaker for free at 7 p.m. at the Moonstone Arts Center (110A S. 13th St., 215-735-9598) about museums and the art scene. And Pterodactyl (3237 Amber St., 5th floor, 215-501-7158), that Kenzo art space, is kicking off its classes this week on comic books and animal bone art and all sorts of other weird shit. OK. That's all. Those are the only smart things going on in the city.
