PHOTOS: Philly AIDS Thrift Summer of Love

Only a year after Philly AIDS Thrift (full disclosure: I volunteer there) moved from Bainbridge to a larger Fifth Street home, expansion plans are in the midst again. To help fund the acquisition of over 3,000 more square feet of space in the former Kroungold's building, the store hosted the Summer of Love benefit party at Philadelphia's Magic Gardens last Friday evening.

Volunteers, staffers and customers filled the Garden to socialize, dance to DJ Trans Am's tunes and bid in the silent auction. Prizes included a Mütter Museum gift set, a trip to Hell's Kitchen in New York City, a limited-edition pair of Doc Martens and gift baskets from a variety of local businesses. Dangerous Ponies played through an energizing set of dancey psychedelic songs to finish off the evening. It was lots of fun; even Isaiah Zagar cut a rug (see last photo)!
