Alternative NSO: If Freshmen, Frats & Franzia Aren't Your Thing

With the first night of NSO all wrapped up, you've probably had more underage butts rubbed against your crotch than a shopping mall Santa. If you find yourself suddenly regretting your early move-in, don't fret. Here's a bunch of stuff to do in Philly (and nearby) to occupy you for the remainder of Christmas NSO:

Friday (that's today):

 4th Friday Wine & Cheese: From 6-9PM, Salon Joose is hosting its last Fourth Friday event of the season. Described as "an irresistible destination stop for anyone interested in business, art, wine tasting, networking, foreign cuisine, [and] unique gifts," it sounds like the perfect place to meet your future husband. But more importantly, it's free! (And Mom really wants you to put yourself out there.) Reserve your spot here.

Gabriel Iglesias in AC: Funny man Gabriel Iglesias is performing tonight at the Borgata in Atlantic City. If his name just sounds like another one of your Summer in Alicante hookups, check out the clip below.

Made in America: Please note that although this is listed here as an NSO alternative, trying to escape the entire Penn community at this 2-day music festival is like trying to escape a hurricane in New Orleans.

Dead Celebrities Bar Crawl: This whole thing sounds super shady at best, but let us know how it goes. Sign up at your own risk here.

Sunday (Labor Day Eve):

Foam Party: Philly's hottest club is Shampoo Lounge. Brought to you by that sketchy kid in high school who's now a "professional" "photographer" and "club" "promoter," the aptly named venue is throwing a 17+ Foam Party for the general masses. "More" "deets" "here." And after you lather and rinse, let us know if this is something you'd ever repeat.

 Monday (Labor Day):

Bruce Springsteen: Bruce and the gang are playing at Citizens Bank Park both today and Sunday at 7:30PM. Tell your parents.

Tuesday (First Day of Classes Eve):

Read a Book: It's your last chance before classes start.
