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

| Rooftop Gardens |
For those of you following Night Moves, I apologize for the date confusion about the NORML meeting earlier. Hopefully I haven't lost your trust completely. I guess the only excuse I can offer is, I was high? No matter. Another event you can hit up is the weekly city gardening class at the PA Horticultural Society. Topics vary each week from how to grow rooftop crops to which plants thrive in Philly, and free pizza is served. And, since there's no entry fee (only appreciated donations are accepted), it's really, truly free.
The vibes there are good lots of chatter, excitement (rather than distrust) of urban gardening newbies, and field trips. And don't worry about showing up late. I will be too, and they won't mind. Promise.
Every Wed., 6 p.m., free, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, 100 N. 20th Street, 5th floor, 215-988-8800, pennsylvaniahorticulturalsociety.org.

| Found in Philly |
| Mom, I'm serious! I want the laser background! |
To get in the mood for tonight's FOUND! with Sound event, y'all should take a look at Philly's version of the magazine and best-of book series that collects discarded pamphlets, notes and school pictures a Web site that's aptly titled FOUND in Philly.
The gem above comes from a local named Gina, who notes that she asked for her demise: As a wee little elementary schooler, she begged her mom for the laser backdrop. Other highlights include a nun chilling at what appears to be a Roxborough kegger, and West Philly soldiers from the '50s (or '40s? or '70s?). You're invited to contribute your own videos, photos and other ephemera to the site. And you should the Internet is a community, people.

Don't know what do tonight? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
These crazy days, we don't like waiting and we have attention spans that our grandfathers would be very, very ashamed of. That's why we could just kiss events like On Stage Philadelphia on the mouth it'll feature 10-minute previews of local productions that are coming out this spring.
Everything dance, theater, film, music, comedy and improv will be on display, including Collingswood Excelsior Theatre Co.'s Magic Time, which was directed by James Introcaso, the same dude who did William Shakespeare's Land of the Dead, and Plays & Players' Camelot.
Following the abbreviated performances, you'll be able to schmooze with the artists and score discounted tickets to the upcoming shows. But what's the point of seeing the whole thing if you already saw the highlights reel? Just kidding, P&P.
Mon., May 4, 8 p.m., Plays & Players Theater, 1714 Delancey St., 215-735-0630, playsandplayers.org.

| Philly Art Galleries |
| Lindsey Baker's pretty pink ladies. |
Bambi Gallery, the art spot that's run by City Paper girl crush Candace Karch, is getting the hell out of dodge er, Frankford Avenue. Her gallery, known for hosting super feminine, but slightly twisted works (like the pictured piece in the "Salon des Filles" exhibit by Lindsey Baker), will be missed in the 'hood. As will be Karch, who also bartends at Johnny Brenda's and is full of charisma, balls and charm.
But thank heavens Bambi Gallery isn't leaving Philly for a sec, when we heard rumors of it moving a few months ago, we got worried it'd dissapear for good. Here's the latest word on where she's going, which I got from Karch this afternoon:
bambi moved location yesterday...yay!
i am at the new schmidts piazza and the grand opening is the 16th (as you probably already know) for the entire piazza...but because my space is not ready yet and i am having a closing/opening party on the 15th of may for the "salon des filles."
Fair enough, lady. We'll see you May 15, but we'll be missing you this First Friday.
