R5 is hosting their big semi-annual event ithis Saturday (dec 16th) at The Starlight Ballroom. From 10am to 5pm!
For those who are not in the know it is R5's most popular reoccurring event - with 120 tables of old records, clothes, art, music, food, junk, bicycles, stereo equipment, instruments, automobiles, tools, posters, furniture, computers, skateboards and whatever else the 100 sellers can fit on the ballroom floor.
In addition to the normal flea market stuff there will also be a full bar and food service kitchen to make the day go by a little faster as well as :
THE FIRST ANNUAL R5 WII BOWL CHALLENGE
with a gigantic projection screen/TV with the new technological sensation - The Nintendo Wii. It uses a motion sensor that can actually register the slight curve in your throw/wrist etc. Check it out here :

They ar echarging $3 per game. The person with the highest score at the end of the day wins 50% of the admission fee (so if 200 people bowl - you win $300 in cash!) .
The whole point of all of this is to raise funds to purchase necessary equipment and supplies to ensure that all ages shows continue to remain a reality at The First Unitarian Church and other venues in Philadelphia. For the psat year it's mainly been towards their annual $16,000 insurance payment.
At the R5 table they will also be selling twenty "10 R5 Show Passes" for $80. This pass will get you into ANY 10 upcoming R5 shows (even sold out ones) in 2007. A perfect holiday gift for your friend, brother, sister, son, girlfriend, boyfriend, cousin, dog etc. Again there are only 20 of them ...so don't sleep !
