Get yer ya-ya's out: There's no time to spare�--one in eight women gets breast cancer.

Bowling for Boobies

Sun., Aug. 3, 1-3pm. $15-$20. Earl Bowl Lanes, 390 Morwood Rd., Telford, Pa. 215.723.9130

All jokes about boobs, tits, bazookas and brick shithouses aside, breasts should be cherished, preserved and guarded, especially from cancer. If you can't exactly spot BRCA2 with a microscope, the least you can do for every woman in your life is whip a bowling ball down a lane or two in support of the Purple Hooters, a team that's decided to strike out breast cancer by raising money for the annual Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk this October. Compete in teams of five. Besides supporting a genuinely good cause and bowling to your heart's Lebowksian content, you can win bucketloads of prizes, from two VIP paintball passes (satisfy your inner hillbilly) to gift certificates for restaurants and pedicures (to clean off those paintball shells and cracked nails). Even if you don't win any of the enticing extras, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing your support for the Purple Hooters basically makes you part of a big moral Wonderbra supporting people with breasts.

�For Cineastes

Midnight Movies

Sat., Aug. 2, midnight. Free. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. 215.222.1400. www.worldcafelive.com

Arrested development got boring and Saturday night is too predictable anymore. We spend it either getting drunk in a loud bar or on the couch watching the telly. Find middle ground at World Cafe Live's Midnight Movies. Every Saturday night in August the venue will screen a classic film. This week kicks off with Trainspotting, the frightening descent into a Scottish drug hell complete with blooper scene where you can see the metal rod gliding the plastic baby doll across the room. They just pretend it's not there. All right! We're won back with the toilet dive. It's not the lightest fare, but it'll remind you why it's a good idea to take a Saturday night or two off from partying and care for your tender organs once in a while. Future screenings are the stoner classic Dazed and Confused, gender-bending rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch and the classic unforgettable tale of Baby and Johnny doing it in the Catskills, Dirty Dancing. And it's free. Cool, relaxed and entertained isn't a bad way to spend a Saturday night. Like Philly itself, the bar and the couch will always welcome you back. (Jack Schonewolf)

Pittsburgh Expat Happy Hour

Between its recent Mystery Beer Weekend and events ranging from yard sales to craft fairs, Port Fishington newbie Memphis Taproom has gone to great lengths to establish itself as the most welcoming of friendly neighborhood beer bars. Another grabby concept guaranteed to put butts in stools is a happy hour celebrating those who have migrated here from our western sibling, Pittsburgh. For two precious hours a month (every first Tuesday) Memphis slings $2 bottles of the pleasurably watery Pittsburgh staple Iron City as well as more substantive (and pricey) selections from Penn Brewery, with giveaways from both. That would be appealing on its own, but there's also the Taproom kitchen's ode to the heart-clogging mini-chain Primanti Brothers, whose sloppy, meaty sandwiches smuggle fries and coleslaw inside. Memphis' kielbasa version classes up the concept with its usual fresh and local ingredients and nowhere near the salt and mayo content of a Primanti creation. And unlike the original, it's not on chewy white bread imbedded with thumbprints, a move that could inspire more expats still. (Doug Wallen)

Peekaboo Revue's Podcast Album Release Party + Wet Spots

Sun., Aug. 3, 9pm. $5. Silk City, Fifth and Spring Garden sts. 215.592.8838. www.silkcityphilly.com

Promoters of the Wet Spots' appearance claim it'll be "more fun than angering a volcano-god." Whoa. The Wet Spots' Canadian husband-and-wife duo are making their debut Philly appearance to help Philly's Peekaboo Revue Neo-Burlesque Troupe's (incidentally "Best Troupe" at Miss Exotic World 2008) celebrate their first album release. Rad-taculous. The Wet Spots practice a brand of comedy where "the libido is celebrated and satirized." Given the sex politics in this country, we couldn't think of a more inappropriate and therefore necessary show. Did a dude who wants to be president touch it on someone or somewhere not sanctioned by law or supported by Victorian morals? We'll see! There'll be $2 drink specials and ukuleles. After the show, download the album for free at Peekaboo Revue's website. Until then, where's the volcano-god? I need to poke him with a stick. (S.J.B.)
