Beer snobs may have flown above PBR and all the ships that sail her. But if you consider the words of the late Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet, it's "fuck Heineken — Pabst Blue Ribbon" all the way. The Philadelphia Independent Craft Market celebrates the wonder of the blue, white and red with a third go-round featuring handmade goods and vintage PBR elements. Last year that meant sculptures, quilts and paintings on old battered wooden doors, but who's to say how drunk and creative the PICM folk will get this year. Plus CP music faves An American Chinese, Dangerous Ponies, Levee Drivers, TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb and Cheers Elephant play on while you stitch, knit and dribble. Cheers, Fishtown.
