Night Moves: Bloblive @ Rembrandt's

Don't know what to do tonight? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

This guy could have a good idea. Doubt it was as great
as the Bucklette, though.

I always thought it was bullshit when people said that economic downturns were hotbeds for great entrepreneurial ideas. (When people get bored and lose their jobs, don't most of them drink —not think —more?) But, judging by this week's events, maybe there's something to it. As covered in the Agenda section, Studio 34 is putting on Philly Pecha Kucha this Saturday, in which people present their ideas (on anything from show cats to Clark Park) in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Tonight, Rembrandt's is hosting a similarly themed event called Bloblive. Essentially a live version of the Web site ideablob.com, it allows people to present their business plans, pie-in-the-sky hopes and thoughts to a room full of thinkers. There was a Bloblive held in Philly this January, and if it's any indication of what tonight's event will be like, you should definitely start brainstorming. Ideas ranged from eco-friendly pipe dreams (a social e-commerce platform) to stuff that actually ended up happening (this month's Twestival) to the hilariously silly (the "Bucklette," a comination of a belt and a wallet.) Too bad the spork's already taken.

Thu., March 5, 6-9 p.m., Rembrandt's, 741 N. 23rd St.,  215-763-2228, rembrandts.com.
