This Weekend: Batten Down The Hatches!
FRIDAY:
>>> Wake up, Philadelphia! It’s the First Friday of September! WHY ARE THERE NOT MORE PARTY PARTIES GOING ON TONIGHT? Is it ‘cos half the venues in town are still ass-draggin’ to get their calendars out? I don’t know, bro, but it stacks the deck mighty high for Andy Pry/Meg E. Mitch/Darklord’s University of Excess party at Medusa tonight. You can pretty much connect the dots here: Back to school theme, free “tuition” and free champagne while supplies last. Just make sure you peep the graffiti: Julian gives good head and is dead. Little light reading for ya there.
>>> My Morning Jacket at Festival Pier in the last Pier show of the summer! Afterparty at Silk City. Jersey Dan is building a gravity bong as we speak. Maybe summer’s not over, yo?
>>> Stragglers: Tricky! Still alive! At the Troc. [click.] at the Barbary! And veteran nu-ska survivors The Slackers play at the First Unitarian Church. Ooh, look at you, acting like you didn’t go through a ska phase. Please. Really now.
SATURDAY:
>>> Everybody wants to know: Is the Red Bull Soap Box Derby still happening in Manayunk, even with the STORM OF THE SEPTEMBERENTURY and all? We just made a call, and… IT’S ON, rain or shine! What’s up, health insurance? So nice to see you in the pile of broken wood and wheels and my face on the side of the Manayunk wall. Weee!
>>> Attn. unapologetic fans of Dido: Your new one, Natalie Walker, will be awaiting you, fresh and new, at the M Room. She’s actually kinda better than Dido in a Music For Airports kinda way.
>>> Scuzzers! Scuzz the night away with me at The Tough Shits/The Jellyhearts/Music for Headphones/The Rosehips at Tritone. Solid, solid rawk show here, people.
SUNDAY:
>>> Is it safe to go outside yet? Wait, do I have to go outside because Hanna blew the roof off? Wouldn’t that make me already outside? Ponder it over dranqs at Agnew and Bushy’s Sunday eve 610 thing at Loie, which we guarantee will be THEE Eagles destination of the new season.
