Through the magic of overbooking that comes with saying “Yes!” to everything and then promptly forgetting all about it, Philebrity has no less than five ticket giveaways lined up that we must take care of before the week is out. But let our freakout be your gain: Cinefest ’09? Making Time with Sebastien Tellier? Garotas [...]

When the Phillies take the field against the Braves on Sunday night at 8:05PM at Citizens Bank Park for the 2009 Home Opener, a few things will be certain: A) The day and time of game will have provided a very robust window for tailgating, thereby setting the stage for a daylong drinking and fighting [...]

So, what’s the deal? Is John Street back in our lives now, or what? Hold that thought. For Street, the deal is that there is no deal. Isn’t that right, John? We didn’t cut a secret deal. There was no deal. We didn’t make a deal. The deal that Street is talking about — which, [...]

At left, Andrew Jeffrey Wright’s x-wave #11, paint on panel; at right, “Heidi Knit Dress” by Delia’s. For the longest time, artists of the influential Space 1026 collective here in Philadelphia have been dealing with dribs and drabs of their concepts and artwork being subsumed into the world of commerce, sometimes for pay but often, [...]

Those of you following our coverage over the last year or so of Postgreen’s $100K House experiment will be pleased to find that last week, a ribbon-cutting and open house was held for the $100K House.

Yesterday — April 1st, that would be — just about squeaked by with no major fooling happening in these parts.

In which The Spirit, a paper not known for agitation, asks you at least three times, “How would YOU feel if YOUR child was covered in feces, maaaan?” At this point, even the native populations here in Fishtown (mostly) know that it’s no longer OK to physically chase people of color out of the neighborhood [...]

On Monday, we reported that Inky & DN brass revealed in a meeting that they could be running out of money in July.

Those lovable icons of mumblecore Bishop Allen stopped by Old City’s Art In The Age store when they swung through town recently. Dig that woodblock!

There’s an interesting piece over at The Huffington Post today, which talks about waterboarding’s secret history as a “treatment” for the insane in the 1800s. As it turns out, much of what we know about the practice in those days centers around a Philly businessman of the day named Ebenezer Haskell (pictured), who worked in [...]

>>> Ashley Biden was framed! Or at least that’s the latest twist in the Ashley Biden Coke Tape That Nobody Cares About saga. [Radar] >>> And that Philly cop who took a Temple student for a ride-along and had just the precise number of rocks in his head to use the N-word and crow on [...]
