>>> Head on down to the Manhattan Room for Jeff Anderson’s going-away party, even though, by going to New York, dude is offically part of the ever-growing Philly brain drain. Sigh. What were we talking about again? No cover.
>>> And while you’re over there, stop in at Johnny Brenda’s. It’s Rachel the Bartender’s last night […]

Take a look at these dudes. You wouldn’t know it, but they’re athletes. (Tell the truth, though: Kyle Korver totally looks like the slightly less attractive porn version of Ashton Kutcher. I always wonder about people who look so much like other celebrities that looking like a specific celebrity just totally wrecks their whole life, […]

The organizers of the local Live 8 concert will pay the City of Philadelphia $350,000 under terms of a contract signed yesterday at 5 p.m., exactly 67 hours before the music is to begin on the Art Museum steps.
We’re so, so proud. But that’s not going to stop us from using that photo. No sir. […]

[Note to our regular readers: New posts follow below. We’re just keeping this at the top for the Bruce. Thank youse.] At the end of the day yesterday, we posted something that, if you love rock ‘n’ roll and this city, you should be excited about. It was a petition to get Bruce Springsteen & […]

Bill Cosby’s campaign of crochety-but-well-intentioned anger grows more and more boundless by the day. (That is, when he’s not on the run from all those evil boobies he allegedly tried to touch over the last 30 years.) On The Cos’s docket these days is a phone campaign where he apparently is getting on the horn […]

Enough already. Let’s get The Boss, The Big Man and the whole damn E-Street family to come down and make some sense outta Live 8. Bruce, if you are listening, we desperately need you to come break it down for us.

>>> More props, to our pal and […]

Perhaps it was only a matter of time before our very own Eve got that last bit of assurance that she had indeed arrived. Well, that time is here now, and holy wow, this Eve sex tape is really pretty dirty. (We only mention it because after the Fred Durst and Vince Neil tapes, we […]

To recap: Last Saturday, there was something called The Fishtown Parade. It was in Fishtown. There was seemingly no political cause or specific celebration behind it, just lots of New Weirdos walking around with face paint, masks, accordions and drums. In Fishtown, the neighborhood that tolerance built. Ahem. Anyhoo, we weren’t there, but we […]

While I myself had mixed emotions about there being a
Fishtown parade (let alone being in one), in the end,
most feedback from the street was quite positive. At
worst, there were gawks as stunned Fishtown folk
lipped the words “what the fuck”. At best, we got
some kids to join in and yell a little bit. […]

This is how it went:
Among the shirtless cell phone guys, bitchy CBS-3 reporters, and Mt. Airy earth mommas strolling down Main St. at the Manayunk Arts fest last Saturday was a guy selling Live 8 t-shirts. To these eyes, they looked about as official as that ARROWSMITH t-shirt I bought from the guy in front […]

Please rise and all hail The Daily News Stinkmeister. Oh, and here’s his handy travel guide!
Campground: Bed-and-Bladder Inn
Location: I-676 cloverleaf between Vine and Callowhill, 15th and 16th. Just follow the trails of trash and empty 40-ounce malt-liquor bottles. Stinkmeister did.
