This picnic sucks. The one at the Mann, does not.

I’m not going to lie, The Mann Center has never been on my list of places to go. Orchestras? Romantic dining? The outdoors? Get out of here.

However, kicking off June 30th, the Mann Center launches their summer picnic competitions, one of which, on July 21st, features the Philadelphia Orchestra performing music from Star Wars. Now that is a romantic evening I can appreciate. Perhaps with Tim.

There are prizes galore, such as free tickets to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Please Touch Museum and The Franklin Institute, as well as picnic dishes thanks to a china company called Mottahedeh… which happens to be a bad ass name for a heavy metal band.

You can score some more information on the picnics over on the Mann Center’s official website. Star Wars picnic for $10? Count us in. Especially is Mottahedeh is the opening band. Oh wait… they make dishes. Bah!
