If yesterday’s poll is anything to go by, we suspect that an alarming number of you may be (non-)thinking of just flaking on voting altogether today. From us to you: Please resist that urge.

Oh hey, we’re going to try doing a Daily Poll each morning now, wherein we ask you, the people of Philadelphia, random things about your life here, and on Earth. Got a question you want to see the people answer? Suggest it at: tips[at]philebrity[dot]com.

Ep. 21: Preview >>> We admit it, almost with shame: We’ve been loving this season of Bored To Death. It has been sweet, gooey, comforting stoner TV through and through. Tonight it’s on, in its usual place. >>> But in the non-TV world, there’s ex-Buffalo Springfield/Poco singer Richie Furay at World Cafe Live (aw Richie, [...]

As we noted last week, The Roots are teaming up with Mural Arts for an ambitious mural project, set to be completed this summer in the South Street/Headhouse District. This morning, Tarik “Black Thought” Trotter and keyboardist Kamal Gray from the Roots, alongside Mural Arts chief Jane Golden and Mayor Michael Nutter, to officially announce [...]

PHILEBRITY’S HARVEST MOON COTILLION · Friday, November 25th, 9pm @ Johnny Brenda’s On Thanksgiving weekend — indeed, Black Friday and the beginning of the holiday season in earnest — join us as we host Philebrity.com’s (mostly) very proper homecoming dance.

This just in from our friends at CAIR, who will be holding a press conference outside Whole Foods tomorrow: The former employee at Whole Foods Market (2001 Pennsylvania Avenue, Philadelphia, PA) was allegedly subject to pervasive harassment and retaliation once his supervisors found out about his Islamic faith. At one point, he was reportedly forced [...]

Teen Men is the new collab between the Spinto Band‘s Nick Krill and filmmaker Albert Birney — it’s a sort of visual/musical project — and above is their first effort, “Fall Out A Tree.” It’s-a-nice. Get more Krill here.

We have a hunch that, at this point, the brass at Philadelphia Media Network are letting slip any old idea they think of, and letting the marketplace react (or not react at all) accordingly. The whole tablet fiasco was a great example of this: Put out a thing nobody really wanted in the first place, [...]

Hiyo! Look familiar? Well, it could on two counts: You may remember Michael Tomasetti from the pages previously, but above, he reenacts that Karen Brown commercial you may have seen with chilling accuracy. Funnier still: He’s only a few lines off from the real thing. If you like, after the jump, we’ve posted the original [...]

This was odd: Last night, both NBC10 and Fox29 teased reports from their respective lead weathermen, which both promised to explain why the weather has been so damned weird, once and for all. As if you needed to know. That both reports were filed by 10′s Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz and 29′s John Bolaris, who’ve been [...]

Over at the Occupy Philadephia Media page, there’s a video documentation of the occupation of Comcast HQ and the nine arrests that took place there. As a small prelude to the video above, let us just say that those on the fence about the movement may be turned off by the massive amount of chanting, [...]

There are a good number of people out there who are just honest-to-god great folks, and one or two may even read this site. One of those great folks is Philly artist and photographer Mike Reali, who will be spending his holiday season driving a 1989 Ford Ambulance from England to Mali all in the [...]
