Tuesday’s Hot Tickets: Wine and “Cheese”
The truly hot ticket for this evening is Philly’s own Man Man at the Starlight in support of their brand-new release, Rabbit Habits. But you’re not getting into that ridiculously sold-out show unless you tunnel in. So if you just have to do something tonight other than watch the new episode of Hell’s Kitchen (I so prefer Kitchen Nightmares, but that’s me), here are a few events to consider …
The Wine School of Philadelphia’s “State Store Wine Buying” class. After all, how many times have you been like the woman in this photo, completely lost in our state-controlled liquor stores? This seems like a perfectly sensible thing to do. $37.99, 7:30 p.m.
And considerably less sensible, two Philadelphia Film Fest screenings … Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story, a documentary about the zany B-movie director who came up with the idea to insert buzzers (spine tinglers) in cinema seats to give moviegoers a jolt (9:30 p.m. at International House, $10) … or the North American premiere of Sperm, a Thai horror film which, according to the Film Festival’s guide, features “big-titted aliens conducting strange experiments on the babies.” The director’s last film? SARS Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis. Maybe you should stick with the wine class. (9:30 p.m. at the Bridge, $10).
