Memorial Day In Philly
It's one of those summer weekends where most of the city slickers slip away to country/ beach/ vacation homes. Out of the smog and traffic, lazy bathing suit clad loungers pity those left in the city. But hark! There's so many patriotic (and bizarre) things to do in Philly this weekend! Check out our suggestions after the jump. If these all fail, you can always just break into a hotel pool or something.

Groovy, Baby
What's better than pulling an all–nighter in Van Pelt? Doing it with a lava lamp of course. These guys certainly have the right idea.

Hey Day Was Wet
Most juniors stayed clean during Hey Day yesterday but these spunky souls (who are you?!) took the plunge to clean themselves off in the Schuylkill River after the festivities. We're told the police showed up but that didn't stop these newly crowned seniors from probably catching a disease.
