If you read yesterday’s post about Doree Shafrir’s New York Observer piece on “The Hipster Grifter” aka Kari Farrell, you’ll be happy to know that: A) As seen above, Sean Agnew is offering a bounty for any info/photos on The Girl Of Our Dreams, and B) Doree wrote a big ‘ol update on the piece today, including an email from Farrell, and the following very interesting item of local note:

“A few months ago, my then-BF told me this Asian girl named Kari with terminal cancer was hanging around his group house in South Philly. A few of the roommates are in this band that plays in Williamsburg a lot. I assume that’s where they met her. He told me she lived in NY but had come to visit Philly a few times and stayed at the house (the house has many transient guests) and it appeared she was getting her kicks while she still had time. He thinks that she slept with a couple of his roommates. And she tried to sleep with him while we were still together- there was a party at the house, I wasn’t there, and she attempted to stick her hand down his pants but they were too tight. He told me that he turned her down. (Let’s hope so!) We had a few conversations about her sad situation, and wondered what would WE do if we were terminal? Would we be traveling between Philly and NYC in order to sleep with dirty band guys? I wouldn’t.”

Philadelphia, WE DEMAND TO KNOW WHO THIS BAND IS! When we plug the variables in — South Philly hovel, dirty band boys, transients, the “getting of kicks” — in our minds, it can only be one band: The Tough Shits. But to be honest, we’re afraid to call up Juggy and the gang, for fear that it would turn out to be wildly, awesomely, wonderfully true. Sigh. We can’t handle the truth.
