CRITICAL MASS WEEKEND OMNIBUS: Q-rious Weekend.

POSTED: Friday, July 9, 2010, 6:15 PM

Filed Under: Weekend Omnibus

Friday: Make the drive to Phoenixville, PA to scream like a madman (or woman) while sprinting out of a historic theater. Why, you might ask? The "Running Out Re-enactment" is just one of many programs lined up for this year's Blobfest, a celebration of the 1958 movie about an alien blob that terrorized a town. The "running-out" scene would become pretty famous, but not as famous as the film's break-out star, the legendary Steve McQueen. QFest started up yesterday so don't worry, you haven't missed much. We have so much coverage it hurts. Saturday: Start your morning gyrating. Get your head out of the gutter — you're headed to the free Hula-Hoop Class hosted by a Pop Fizz Burlesque instructor. Then head over to the Chestnut Hill Book Festival. The festival, which runs Friday through Sunday, features book readings, discussions and workshops with authors such as Gregory Frost and Tom Purdom. For a full schedule, click here. Sunday: You won't be exactly sure of what you'll watch when you catch an evening performance of the Koresh Artist Showcase. Still, you should check out Philadelphia artists as they provide their own take on art mediums such as theater and dance. Then give it up for hometown hero Kurt Vile, who takes the stage with N.J.'s oh-so-summery Real Estate.
