Watch a movie and dance along: not a bad way to spend a Friday night.
The theme of First Friday Main Line is "Art in Unexpected Places." Suffice it to say, it doesn't get a lot more unexpected than in a parking lot behind a video store. On Friday at 10 p.m., as a capstone of sorts for the May iteration of the monthly festival, Viva Video is hosting a free outdoor screening of Girl Walk//All Day. If you haven't heard of it, no problem says Viva Video owner Miguel Gomez. The independent feature is a simple story of a girl's adventures in a big city, set entirely to an album by popular DJ Girl Talk. "These folks took a full album of this guy and made a movie length music video," Gomez explained. "You'd think it would be boring, but it's not. It's people dancing through the streets of New York for 75 minutes!" …

This Friday, Ardmore businesses will feature artwork by students at the HMS School for Children with Cerebral Palsy.
It's a quieter night for Ardmore's First Friday festivities this month, but First Friday's newest venue, Viva Video (16 W Lancaster Ave, Ardmore), will be hosting some tunes. The Bazaraza Bounders will be bringing "ballads, blues, balderdash and ballyhoo back to First Friday," playing at Viva Video from 7 to 9 p.m. on March 1. With an preview on the First Friday website that reads "Thrill to the daring exploits of Alexander Uskeraitis and John Stovicek as they risk life, limb, accordion and guitar to save our planet from autotuned robot overlords!" — it promises to be anything but boring. Artwork created by students at the HMS School for Children With Cerebral Palsy will be showcased at Firinji, Jack McShea's and Past*Present*Future.
