3260 South Street, THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, Philadelphia, PA, USA (Map & Directions)
Terrible pun + naughty Romans + super incredible mosaic + cheap drinks!
50 Shades of Pompeii is a chance to learn about the remarkably scandalous sensibilities and decor of the Roman world, while learning about how remarkably low we're willing to go with terrible Roman-themed puns. There will be cheap cocktails and dessert-type nibbles afterwards, and you can party with the super fantastic Lod Mosaic, which makes me so excited that I think a fresco just blushed. Tickets are just $10 and you can buy them here.

The Penn Museum is pretty cool and it's close to regional rail, the El, bus lines, and a dicey assortment of parking lots!

Damn, m'lady and I won't be back in time to make this. Hopefully I can hit the next one!

Since it's not a night that I have class in the museum, it's a definite maybe!

Hey (or possibly salvete), if you're coming tonight, I'll be the one on stage doing introductions in bright red heels, so come and say hi at the reception!
