FRIDAY:
>>> How awesome is this? We haven’t even looked at our email in days, haven’t picked up an incoming call in twice as long, and have moved on from gossiping about bands and media entirely to a new thing where our primary concern is making shots that taste like pumpkin pie. It’s a good life, [...]

In closing the book on the current year, it serves to remember the giant winds of change that swept the Philly sports world in all four of the major team sports.

After the jump, Michael Fichman looks back on the heavy changes of 2007.

Philebrity is proud to be a media partner for this year’s PhillyCarShare PhillySoundClash — a new school battle of the bands that empowers its winners to release their own music on their own terms. If you’re an artist in the Philly area, by all means, click through and give it a whirl. Good luck!

FRIDAY:
>>> You could feel it in the air today at Fran’s Primo Hoagies: THE SEASON IS UPON US. Chances are, your entire weekend was booked solid a long time ago, so Weekend Picks feels a little more pointless than usual. However, for the benefit of those of you just off the Chinatown bus — congratulations, [...]

Next week on Philebrity, we will not be posting regularly but we will be rolling out our year-end features, such as:
· Philebrity’s Top 10 MySpace Sluts of Philly 2007, for which you should be sending us entries now. (If you don’t know what we’re talking about, check out Philebrity’s Top 10 MySpace Sluts Of Philly [...]

Hi Philebrity,
In the true spirit of 21st century Christmas, I’d like to take a last minute grab at persuading your fine readers to open their wallets (and hearts!) to my small but growing selection of pillows and table runners.
-In an appeal to the depressed, lonely readers, I’d like to remind them there’s no [...]

“This is what we do when we’re bored at work. Fun with elves. Jazz hands!” — Vanessa in Merion

2007 has been a great year for us, in large part due to the following companies that have graciously advertised on Philebrity. In no particular order, we’d like to big up:
R5 Productions · GPTMC · TRKFLD · Grasshopper · Live Nation · Music Nation · Philly Car Share · Beggars Banquet · Transit of Venus [...]

Thank YOU, Chris!

Fuck CBS 3’s olive branches. I want Alycia Lane to participate in Roller Derby night with the Broad Street Bitches.
I want local tv newscasters to be more, well, Philadelphian. I’d like many of the Daily News writers to be more articulate in a manner befitting a major, east coast newspaper.
I want my clients to pay [...]

silent night, holy night
all you fags better run for your lives
heavenly choir of angels above
singing “God, He don’t like that sweaty man butt-love”.
Christ our savior is born
All you muthafuckas gonna burn in hell

you’re either with us or against us
you haven’t a choice
we can all trust [...]

This isn’t a humorous photoshop or anything clever like that, but I thought that some of your readers might care to know that the Tidewater Grain Elevator near the Girard Point Bridge is set to be imploded Sunday Morning (7 I believe). I know that a number of artists in Philadelphia have, over the [...]
