Real talk: Our moms drank, too. So far, we can’t see any adverse affects. Damn, you thirsty? Let’s go to SugarHouse. What? Why are you looking at me that way?

That is all.

>>> In an age where online and DVD porn have all but eliminated the Great American Porno Theater, the Forum at 22nd and Market is seeking to expand. But City Council won’t have it. This is not the first or last time City Council will be described as “bonerkillers.” [PhillyClout] >>> Classy: Locally-based SexToys.com has [...]

Fox29 anchor/Philly blogsession Kerri-Lee Halkett will be leaving the station in mid-October, reports Dan Gross, who is not prohibited by his lawyers to speak on this particular lady news anchor with only minor celebrity and no real connection to the city and whose email hacking he was not privy to. While Halkett has been planning [...]

City Councilman Frank DiCicco, we can comfortably say, is Philly’s most simultaneously crass yet transparent official. Nearly every political move the man makes is either a reactionary gesture (such as his legendary bike laws or that time he wanted the City to sue the Internet) or a complete parrot of something someone with a lot [...]

Phileb commenter Chuck63 sets it off with some deep truth.

>>> Dear God, the Broken Retro Clock has become acid reflux and every hero of the musical yesteryear is walking among us, eating our braiiinnnnnnsssss: Superchunk/Versus at the Troc; Marc Olson from The Jayhawks AND Eels at World Cafe Live (former upstairs, latter downstairs); and Electric Six at Johnny Brenda’s. Fire in the Taco Bell, [...]

Nightlands, the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink musical project by Philly multi-instrumentalist David Hartley that we told you about a few weeks ago, has signed to the Secretly Canadian label, who’ll be releasing the Nightlands debut long-player Forget The Mantra on November 9th. The news has got to feel pretty sweet for Hartley, who’s been an in-demand sideman for [...]

Some of you might have been wondering what’s next on the docket for developer Bart Blatstein, having rolled out his dream project, The Piazza At Schmidt’s, last year. Well, the game never sleeps, and Blatstein has three twinkles in his eye right now: rehabbing the State Office Building at Broad and Spring Garden into residences; [...]

Frank Rizzo took no shit, and drove a 1980 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham just like this one. It’s going up on auction to raise money for… the upkeep of a statue of Frank Rizzo. World, you are a vampire, but shit: It’s got only 16K miles and it’s a total bitch magnet. Wildwood, here we come! [...]

As you all know, SugarHouse finally opens tomorrow, and either all hell will break loose, or it will just be languid and sad, and go on forever. We’re past caring, either way, and are now actively taking a Bum Fights/Jackass-type morbid interest in the place, waiting with bated breath to see the exact size and [...]

SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 (Philadelphia) — The gathering of the faithful began with a processional three blocks long on Broad Street. It was a phalanx of Harleys, straddled by the Centurion bikers, a social club of active Philadelphia cops who evidently enjoy a wee bit too much of the ol’ reverse role play and YMCA macho [...]

The Philadelphia Film and Music Festival: Is that anything? We don’t know yet, but it’s coming up this weekend, and that means a gargantuan schedule that you have to wade through to find the diamonds in the rough. Never fear, we’ve done (some of) the heavy lifting for you! Here are 10 recommends: >>>Kick off [...]

With a good chance that Sestak will lose, a GOP-backed Gaming Control Board out of control, and God knows what else, it’s good to see you guys go out on a limb.

I saw this today after unlocking my bike on South Street at 8th. The cuts are rusty and not all the way through. It looks like someone is investing some effort in this rack some nights and soon they will finish the job and walk away with an unlucky bike and a bit of rack. [...]

>>> He’s not a businessman; he’s a business, man. All Jay-Z at Silk City tonight. >>> And according to the Philebrity Salon Fall 2010 Syllabus, tonight, we’ll be considering Latetia Sadier’s The Trip, released today. Also, expect: More dots-and-bloops music, drinks from Anders and Phillies bloodcries. As always, at 700.

Shockingly, it has everything to do with their Marcus Hook plant and nothing to do with the Goo Goo Dolls at Welcome America this year. Remember, Sunoco pulled out. The Goo Goo Dolls? That was Wawa’s miscarriage. We think Wawa should get fined double what Sunoco got — 130 for the Goo Goo Dolls and [...]

It is a scientific fact: The sole purpose of A&E’s Intervention is to make you want to get fucked up beyond belief and solemnly weep or perversely daydream about how world-is-a-vampire it all is. As it happens, this is something we are GREAT at, so we greeted a press release announcing the Recovery Walks! Rally [...]
