Wednesday, September 1

Remember that game, "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing..." ? Take that old road trip time-suck and assign one letter to each friend. You might end up with Apples, Beer and the Cryogenically frozen head of Walt Disney. —JW

Thursday, September 2

The Kevin Kolb era is upon us. CAN YOU FEEL IT?!?? The new starting QB takes his team out once more with the water wings on in the Eagles' preseason finale vs. the New York Jets. ARE YOU TOTALLY KOLB'D UP OR WHAT? 7:30 p.m., Lincoln Financial Field, 1020 Pattison Ave., 215-570-4000, philadelphiaeagles.com. —BH

Friday, September 3

Not sure which of this season's 18 Live Arts Festival performances you should patronize? Take a quick online "matchmaker" survey to find out which shows suit you best. Need help sifting through 200-plus additional Philly Fringe acts? Friend, you're on your own. Through Sept. 18, livearts-fringe.org. —CH

Saturday, September 4

Go to a party where you don't know anyone and slip a casual lie into conversation, while otherwise acting like your normal fabulous self. Example: After hitting up the bar, take a giant swig from your cup, turn to the closest rube and say, "Oh man, my sponsor is gonna be pissed." —ME

Sunday, September 5

What you'll need to make it out of the Headhouse Farmers Market alive and satisfied: reusable totes (plastic bags are so tsk-tsk), closed-toed shoes (lest you lose appendages to strollers) and a plan. Not that accidentally spending $40 on strawberries and goat cheese is a bad thing. Every Sat. and Sun., 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Second and Lombard streets, thefoodtrust.org/php/headhouse. —CH

Monday, September 6

Summer's over but so what? The Marlins are in town, dogs are a buck at Citizens Bank Park and the Mutts have probably already choked their way to getting Jerry Manuel fired/traded David Wright for a third baseman with a heart. 7:05 p.m., Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, 215-271-1085, phillies.com. —BH
