Don't Be a Hater This Black Friday: City Paper's Great Trunk Show on Earth

I'm usually anything but a Black Friday player, but I'll be heading out this year for two reasons. For one, everyone's predicting that this will be the Best Black Friday Ever, since retailers will be competing to make you forget about your recession-inspired frugality. But I'll also be shaking off my hangover for City Paper's Greatest Trunk Show on Earth, which so kindly starts at 10 a.m. That's definitely enough time to eat leftover pie for breakfast.

Held at the TLA (334 South St.), it'll feature goods from Philly's best designers, craftspeople and boutiques. One of my favorites is Julie Raboczi's jewelry, which is good for friends and sisters — her glittery necklace featuring a weed leaf is pretty and tongue-in-cheek, not obnoxious or frat boy-esque. Jesse Rinyu's prints of sad-eyed robots look like something off a Shins album cover, but darker. Etsy.com peddler Girlscantell makes prints of diagrammed bikes and cameras, which she places on everything from napkins to pot holders. (And seriously, whose Mom doesn't want another pot holder?)

There's a lot more where that came from. Waste time at work by scrolling through more Trunk Show goodies above.  For all the info you need, visit citypaper.net/trunkshow.
