Tonight, there will be lots of bubbly flowing at Phiz Fest 2010, where you can sample champagne and sparkling wine and enjoy tasty food pairings. Tickets will run you $59 each but proceeds benefit the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, so at least your hangover will be justifiable.

In case you are one of the five people in the world who hadn’t already illegally downloaded the Beatles discography, rejoice! As of this week,  you can pay for them on iTunes. But first, pay your respects to John Lennon at WHYY’s screening of LENNONYC, which takes a look at the artist’s life in New York City. Fab Faux member Jim Boggia will perform before the screening.

For a lovely mingling of science and culture, head to the Slought for the opening of “The Wolf Man Paints,” a collection of artwork by Sigmund Freud‘s famous patient Sergius Pankejeff.
