Don't know what to do tonight? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
In which I pretend that y'all aren't watching the Phillies game '
' Yesterday marked the kickoff of the First Person Festival, that glorious storytelling event that's been running off at the mouth for eight years now. There's a vague shitty-economy-yields-greater-creativity theme to the whole fest, with tonight's Songs for Any Depression event encapsulating it best. Woodie Guthrie's granddaughter, Sarah Lee Guthrie, along with fellow musicians Johnny Irion and Kim and Reggie Harris, will perform several of Woodie's songs that helped people get through Depression 1.0. Also, author Morris Dickstein will do a multimedia presentation about documentary culture in the '30s. It's going down from 8-10 p.m. at the Painted Bride Art Center (230 Vine St., 215-925-9914) for $20. (SPOILER ALERT: Check back later today, when the new issue goes live, for City Paper's extensive coverage of the rest of the First Person Fest.)
' All I really want is GIRLS. This sloppy, sexy, hedonistic band belongs somewhere in the '90s, but I'm glad they're here with us now. They're playing Kung Fu Necktie (1250 N. Front St., 215-291-4919) at 8 p.m. for $10.
' Sneakerheads and/or Fugees-heads: Wyclef Jean will be at VILLA (1018 Market St., 215-923-5680) tonight from 4-6 p.m. to promote his brand-new Timberland Earthkeepers' Y'le Haiti collection. Two bucks from every pair will go back to Wyclef's homeland, Haiti.
