That is, unless all concerned really go the extra mile to make this crazy Halloweenphilsobama ENERGY take over, thereby superceding whatever tired rockness is printed on the ticket. For Man Man, we suspect, this won’t be a problem, as the band was [...]

Here lies our beloved metered-dose inhaler, which kept us alive throughout the 1990s and even the early ought years, until Advair came along. But we still held onto ya, little buddy, because nothing could quite match your bold, refreshing aerosol blast. It was you alone that kept the Ministry of Information and other super-smokey bars [...]

These people are crazy. Rumor has it that there have been people out there since 6:00AM. Irish Pub has a sign out that it opens at 9:00AM. Rufinol, breakfast of champions? And now some kids have started playing whiffle ball on the empty lot next to Blue Cross. At least 100 people [...]

2. Someone is having a party at the RUBA — you may not know the host, but you damn well know everybody else.

An Open Letter to William Penn:
Yo Bill! How’s our favorite Quaker? Not sure if you caught the game last night, but our Phils have finally done your city proud. Just a quick note to sincerely apologize for the disrespect over the last 25 years.
First, we build Liberty One, and the one law that [...]

Hey All,
So after I came home last night after celebrating the World Series win I found my car flipped over on Broad Street. All the windows were broken, the side mirrors were smashed, the bumper was ripped off, and there was tons of damage to the body. Funny enough it was the only car within [...]
