Tonight: Art Star exhibit, Black Women's Arts Festival, Lil Wayne '

We're in that weird part of the summer, in which there are just as many First Friday openings as there are Fifth Friday ones. We're cool with that, though. The frontrunner is Art Star Gallery & Boutique (623 N. 2nd St., 215-238-1557), which is hosting Amy Rice's Say Good Morning Tiger Lily (pictured) at 5 p.m. Her paintings fit into the girly/crafty/cutesy vibe that Art Star is famous for, and we're seriously digging the painted frames around them. Also up is Pure Gold Gallery's (1050 N. Hancock St.) Radlands at 6 p.m., Third Street Gallery's (58 N. 2nd St., 215-625-0993) Pennsylvania Sizzler at 5 p.m. and Edge Gallery's A Modern Edge: Part II at 6 p.m. (the latter hosting a Fifth Saturday opening. Woa.)

There's also the Black Women's Arts Festival, which has seriously blown up: Plays, music performances, burlesque shows, poetry readings, youth workshops and more showcasing black women will be taking place at venues all over the city. Oh yeah, and there's Lil Wayne at the Susquehanna Bank Center (1 Harbor Blvd., Camden, NJ, 609-635-1445) at 8 p.m. What? You didn't like this song?

Need more? We've got Arts picks, Music picks, Agenda picks and Agenda listings for your Friday what-to-do dilemmas.
