The ICA Is Going To Be So Fun Tonight

We know what the stereotypical Penn Wednesday night is like. Get out of class, take a nap, eat some Greek Lady, hop on your Vespa, party at the Philadelphia Zoo, steal a baby rhino, go to sleep on your water bed, toss and turn because you tore a baby away from its mother, give it a big hug, return it. Same old drag, week after week. Are you looking for something to do that'll shake things up a little?

The answer is Penn First Wednesday at the Institute of Contemporary Art. So many days ago, we told you about all the cool stuff going on at the ICA this fall and tonight there's a great slate of programming related to those shows. Check after the jump for the full schedule.
