Night Moves: Music, fire and half-naked ladies at the Tiberino Museum

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

If that photograph up top doesn't intrigue you, Carnivolution may not be for you. You also may be boring. It includes a man/clown in an angelic dress and Courtney Love-ish pink fishnets, Uncle Sam before he went gray, a cape decorated with what looks like a Salvation Army symbol, and a very beautiful mural, for chrissakes. This is all a fairly accurate representation of what Carnivolution — which is in its fifth year, and opening for the first time in 2009 tonight — is like. Missing from the photo are fire breathers, half-naked ladies doing burlesque, a tree house and The Hygrogen Jukebox playing music.

Coolest of all, though, is the fact that you get to troll around the Ellen Powell Tiberino Museum, which houses the work of the famed Tiberinos — a family this paper accurately described as "the West Philly Wyeths." Since a few of them are always in attendance, you'll get to drink and chat with them too. Don't know what they look like? Just look for the beautiful people.


Every second Fri., 8 p.m., $5-$8, Ellen Powell Tiberino Museum, 3819 Hamilton St., 215-382-2003, tiberinomuseum.com.
