Pretty Young Things and galavanting lads were the main makeup of guests at the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Southeastern Pennsylvania's Annual Big City Ball, held this year at the Curtis Center.

Over 2000 people attended the Arts and Business Council Awards at the Convention Center and, afterwards, were treated to a concert by the Bacon Brothers. The Ballroom was decked out in vivid purple, blue, and red and a long runway-type stage was set up in the middle of the room for award recipients to march down. Rennie Harris Puremovement Hip-Hop troupe put on a wild performance, spinning and springing all over the stage and even got the huge audience clapping along.

At the swanky new bar/nightclub, Denim, the Young America Political Action Committee, a non-partisan group of people in their twenties and thirties, held a cocktail party to meet candidates for City Council.

The Women's Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art held a unique event called Small Indulgences at the Union League of Philadelphia – a breakfast buffet with a lecture and presentation by famed event planner Renny Reynolds. After viewing slides of all the tres fabulous parties that Renny had created, the 200-plus women stampeded (delicately, of course) into the Union League's library, where more than 20 jewelry, clothing, handbag, and craft booths were set up for a morning of shopping.
