Drinks with the Sphinx

6 – 9:30 p.m., $20 ($15 for members)

The Penn Museum's awesome overnight programs have almost made me wish I had kids so that I could go (almost). Tonight, the museum is offering an adult-version of the event, complete with cocktails, trivia, a belly-dancing workshop, crafts and more, and minus the sleepover. In other words, it's all the fun of the children's program minus sleeping on a hard museum floor.

Tell Me A Story: 'Tis the Season

7 p.m., $5

Sure, it's the most wonderful time of year, but it's also a time of stress, mishaps and obligatory get-togethers with people you – let's face it – might not always like. Head down to Shot Tower Coffee to hear tales of strife, woe and general hilarity related to the holiday season at this open mic night.
