If you’re pissed at the current state of affairs, get off that sad high horse and create your own reality.  According to the hedonist masterminds at Swellco & Swellco, it's really that simple. Through performance, video, music and commentary, the Swellco crew has carved out a unique space between fiction and reality.  Their psychodelic spin on subversion has often led viewers to ask the question, “What is this?”

Get in on the crazy this Saturday for their highly anticipated Anti-Inhalant Educational Outreach Event, featuring performances from drag queen Needles Jones (pictured), Louise LaTease and her fabulous Huffing Glue Dancers, and an extra-extraordinary Drug Jawn Live Disco Dance Party from Philly's own Jawn Band.  As Swellco exec. R.E. Brown says, “Swellco is the voice of the people, because sometimes the people are high and don't know what they're saying.” 

Sat., Feb. 11, 9 p.m., free, PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., swellco2000.com.
