Remember Arthur Magazine? They're coming to Philly.

Once upon a hippy dippy shit time, I dropped into a.k.a. music regularly just to pick up a copy of Arthur Magazine. It wasn't that they were doing amazing journalism; but they did turn me on to new bands regularly, and were just fascinating in the fact that they were so fringe and weird, and yet still survived making a print product. Unfortunately, they stopped surviving in that incarnation ' and appear to have went completely online. The staff (which is mostly just editor Jay Babcock) relocated from L.A. to New York City, too. The upside of all this? They're holding events. One of which is in Philly.

It's a workshop on making terrariums hosted by our very own fanciful plants geek Lord Whimsy, and will also feature a reading about "the wonders of terrariums," an exploration of various containers and plants, and a visit from Babcock. It goes down on Sun., Sept. 13 at 3 p.m. at 2037 Frankford Ave., for $10-$12. You can register in advance by e-mailing editor@arthurmag.com.
