The Clog Weekend Omnibus: Fall into Fall Weekend

Mama Omnibus walked to the Fortress of City Paper as per usual, enduring the most miserablist of weather. It's hard not to get down on plans with rain slowly filling my new apparently-not-waterproof boots but weather be damned! This weekend's forecast will toughen you little Omnibussers up for the cold grueling months ahead. So break out the jeans, sweaters and rain slickers and work it out!

Friday: Ah Fringe, it ain't over to the fat lady sings a tuneless aria about the oppressive nature of YouTube, the Bush Doctrine and Lolcats. That hasn't happened yet so you've still got a lot to choose from. Here are some best fest choices from our panel of experts and, as always, a litany of picks to choose from like 4Play. But before you hit all things Fringe, make sure to fill your belly at the White Dog's Dance of the Ripe Tomatoes. Roast pig sandwich, lamb Bolognese stations and tomato gazpacho shooters?! Oh my!

Saturday: Timewarp back to the '80s and give love to the pong-playin' technology of you're at the Vintage Computer Festival. Then it's off to Johnny Brenda's for the antifolky sounds of Jeffrey Lewis, opening for Akron/Family, who prefer their folk with a side of freak.

Sunday: Set off Sunday with the Philadelphia Alternative Comic Con, which features funnies populated by the likes of bong smoking anti-heroes, like fest organizer Pat Aulisio's strip above. So much more relatable than your average orphan billionaire bat! And even though Mama told you it was time to toughen up, remember the dog days of summer with Green Fest. Hey, why not bike there?
