Philebrity is sponsoring not one but two star-studded events featuring hip&skinny Ian Svenonius and punk historian Legs McNeil! Not to mention Philadelphia graf legend Cornbread. What the festival lacks in mainstream name "cred" is made up for by the brain-stimulating (mostly FREE) weekend of literary arts for everyone's enjoyment. Don't hate, congratulate!
