ALRIGHT LET’S GO PHILLIES!!!

Talk about bad timing: Originally, we had big plans to see Wild Combination: A Portrait Of Arthur Russell screen tonight at International House, as part of their Sound On Screen fall series. (View trailer here.) But then fate, and the Phils, intervened. If you are late to the Arthur Russell party, though, you can be [...]

So the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader endorsed Barack Obama on Sunday. Big deal, right? Who hasn’t? Editor and Publisher says that at least 46 papers that endorsed Bush in 2004 have flipped to the not-totally-irresponsible side of the aisle, endorsing Obama this year.
But the editor and publisher of the Times Leader, Richard L. [...]

Yeah, we did just title a post after the 1986 Genesis hit from Invisible Touch. Which, regardless of what you think, is freaking awesome. Don’t you remember the video? Watch that shit now! But really, Pennsylvania is a strange and wonderful and terrible and confused place:
>>>Remember when Congressman John Murtha impugned [...]

Say it ain’t so, Boss! (Seen here in costume as Guitar Jesus.) The Associated Press, and therefore everybody else reports that on his website, he’s announced that the annual Springsteen Halloween extravaganza is no more. No word on whether he has also fired tonight’s World Series Stub Game (could you blame him?) or [...]

Personally, I never understood why we should cheer for ball players in the fist place; seeing as they never return the favor. Seriously; when was the last time center fielder Shane Victorino stopped by your office to compliment you on that killer PowerPoint presentation?

After all, today might be the last day ever they’re relevant.

Though it seems unlikely, woe betide the man that thinks the predictors of this lineup don’t share a brain with Charlie Manuel.

Not at all, bro. Not. At. All.

Who’s there?
‘Leven!
Leven who?
Eleven percent down and only like 25 more to go before the Inky winds up like the Christian Science Monitor.

I wonder if there is something to that fact that every time 6ABC (WPVI) does their “man/woman on the street” interviews and location shoots for Phillies games, they ALWAYS end up at The Fox and the Hound in center city.
Hardly any of the patrons in that douche factory actually live in Philadelphia proper, as evidenced [...]

>>> At right is the trailer for Illinois‘ The Adventures of Kid Catastrophe, the new album/series of video shorts/thing we really can’t understand because, confidential to Illinois, the whole world does not smoke weed together and get all of each other’s jokes, even though it sometimes feels like that and, yes, would really be awesome [...]

Oh man, we almost forgot! THE ELECTION IS JUST A WEEK AWAY! Actually, we didn’t forget. At this point, we have MSNBC on literally ROUND THE CLOCK, and at one point each day, if you hang out long enough, you get to see the point where MSNBC literally runs out of itself and they have [...]

Hey Philly,
We know you’re feeling gypped. We all are. So while your World Series Game 5 ticket may be good for NOTHING tonight, we here are Philebrity, along with the kind folks at Johnny Brenda’s and R5 Productions, have gotten together and engineered the following deal:
Your ticket stub from Game 5 of the World Series [...]

If you had a ticket for game five, your ticket stub will get you into the resumption of the game on Wednesday night. And if you had a parking pass or receipt, you won’t have to pay again. If not, you will have to shell out money again to park.
