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!

I'm busy that evening or else we'd totally do this. Definitely keep us posted about any / all future events like this! It looks very cool.

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!
