And so the Inquirer ushers in the era of buy-byes. It’s been bad enough to see the paper slide into irrelevance ‘lo these past few years, but lately, something about seeing the carnage up close has been oddly aggravating as the paper increasingly takes on an “Everything Must Go!” vibe. We’re not content (nor does [...]

Friday:
>>> Time to bust out the beers, steers, queers and cheers: PalarÈ is back at Silk City and this time, it’s personal. For those who missed the smashing debut, Roy Batty, TT Creed and Julia Factorial throw a party that could equally be described as “arcadian,” “bacchanalian” and “fucking banoodles” alike. 9pm, $5.

Considering TO’s arbitration hearing is today, I figured I would assist you with some visual entertainment.

They say that the greatest art is born under duress. Actually, nobody really says that. We say that, I guess. Anyway, when The Capitol Years read anonymous reader Non D. Plume’s bilous screed-rant against all things Philebritic yesterday ó which ran, in part, “The Capitol Years are not a good band. Unchain yourselves, gang.” ó [...]

CBS 3 IS proud to admit it’s responsible for the Saturday-night shutdown of Club Kama Sutra (712 South St.) by the Department of Licenses and Inspections.
The station secretly taped sex parties at the swingers club and showed its footage to L&I. On Wednesday, it aired a gotcha-style piece, claiming the club doesn’t want you to [...]

Not that we here in our fine city have enough celebrity sightings to fill an annual “gawker stalker” type of space on philebrity, but since everyone seems to be catching on to our greatness the stars can’t be far behind, right? Here’s some B-list fun just in case … Horatio Sanz was randomly at Khyber [...]

>>> Lo and behold, for it is the return of Bottom Of The Hudson at The Khyber. See Doyle, Coello and the gang jingle jangle to and fro as they deflect compliments regarding how they really shouldn’t be the opening act for the well-past-their-prime American Snoozyblog Set and that new band from the Pedro The [...]

We here at the Phileb take all things New Weird with a grain of salt the size of a basketball. And then we like to play basketball with that grain of salt, preferably with the Fishtown Parade kids, skins versus shirts, and they always get really pissy when we give them giant salt owies.

The club, which from the outside appears to be a restaurant called SeÒor Rattler’s Cantina, initially welcomed only couples, but recently began allowing single adults to party there, too.
“Club Kama Sutra has been operating for five years with the full knowledge and approval of all governmental authorities,” owner Alan Tizer told us yesterday.
Nevertheless, they’re not [...]
