Philebrity seems to think this is a good thing, but I for one am quite sad that the Bryn Mawr music and coffee institution, The Point, is closing. Kardon opened the Point in October 1998, inspired by the Main Point, the pioneering coffeehouse two doors away from 1964 to 1981. The Main Point was an [...]

I’ve got a much more substantial post about this weekend’s Italian Market Festival brewing in my head, but to satiate my blogging needs for now I’ll humor Scott and fill out this quiz. Bear in mind, I would normally boycott these, but this one’s about music (forgive my changes to the format): Total size of [...]

This is getting talked about like crazy out there, but I’ll jump in and make sure everyone knows exactly what our our wonderful junior Senator from Pennsylvania, Rick “Santorum” Santorum said on the floor of the US Congress yesterday: “What the Democrats are doing is the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying, ‘I’m in [...]

Just got back from Episode III. Man am I disappointed I didn’t go see it last night with the truly hardcore crowd. Regardless, it was a blast and I can’t wait to see it again. There were some stilted parts, mainly anything involving the supposed “romance” between Anakin and Padme – and did anyone else [...]

[ed. note - everyone say hi to Jake.] ahh, my entry to the blogosphere…cue John Williams music. This whole world is new to me, its success astounds me, and honestly, baffles me. I watched a “report” on blogs by the distinguished Rob Corddry of the Daily Show. Mostly the banter, seen here, comments on the [...]

Sweet! Anyone need an RV companion voucher? I’ve got your heady extra.

Now before I give a little out shout out to all my wonderful fellow bloggers that I met tonight at the brew pub – aka name dropping and trackback hunting – forgive me while I rant for a moment about the travesty of public transportation that is the South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. The problems [...]

About a month ago, I had my first poached egg. I don’t know why I’d never had a poached egg before; I think it has something to do with growing up Jewish in New York, where “brunch” is loosely translated as, “what kind of cream cheese do you want on your bagel?” I thoroughly enjoyed [...]

This is just a variation on a tried and true flash game, but I am loving Plague of Kittens. I’m about to head out to the Gothamist.com meeting over at the Independence Brew Pub followed by the Philly Blogger Meetup. Hopefully meet some new and interesting people. RIP The Infallibles…We hardly knew ye.
