Unfortunate, surely, that he broke his leg. But who of us would walk around on a broken leg for two days and then figure out that maybe something is wrong. I know a person who walked around on a broken leg for nearly two weeks. And then went to a doctor only because it was a chance to avoid a birth...
To answer a question asked a few pages back - while the weather in Philly and NYC is very nice at the moment, we're expecting rain at some point this evening. The original forecast called for snow tomorrow morning but now they're saying freezing rain (I know they're two different things but to me th...
To those of you who have implied that my earlier statement on behalf of the band was a piece of "spin" designed to cover up a darker reason for cancellation I have this to say - you are contemptible and I would be happy never to hear another word from you again. Amen, and amen. And a good...
I love the idea of the bus, and if I lived closer to Ardmore, I'd gladly join you. Nice call on the Simpsons, Philip - although I do hope for everyone's sake they're not hiring Otto. 8) Mattress, thanks for the offer, but I'm not sure that filling my would-be ride home with beer would be the wisest ...
Unbelievable. I've been away from a computer all day, just now getting this news. I cannot believe the crap being spewed on this thread. I understand folks are angry and disappointed. I understand money was spent that can't be retrieved. But you know what? Tomorrow morning, G-D willing, you'll live ...
...or to be more precise, a ride home. If you plan to drive and will be heading towards Jenkintown/Abington/Chestnut Hill/Mt Airy/Glenside, please PM. You will have my eternal gratitude, which will be provided along with money for gas and all sorts of entertaining stories.
O'Blivion - my memory is that the balcony is L shaped, so if you're in the right spot you're not too far. I would say you're closer than the Tower, but still a bit too far away for my tastes. Also, I don't know if there's seating up there (never checked it out); it might just be standing.
No, but seriously, does anyone think any of the venues would be ok for, or even allow, a child? Regarding the Factory in Philly - I'd have to say not a good idea. Unlike a place like, for example, the Nokia, there's no seating in the back, no convenient little nooks or crannies one can tuck oneself...
Well, bless me, and bless MissWalshy - she just woke me up to the news! Pogues in Philly, ya-HOO!! Now of course the Troc would have been wonderful. After the passing of vaudeville it became a burlesque house - stayed that way well into the 70s. The strippers all had such fantastic names, oh lord. H...
Indeed, I do live. A bit bruised and battered but very much still here. And I've missed this place, and the folks herein. Dz, I shall do my level best to remain. Damn near broke my heart to miss the December shows, after being so sure for most of the year that I'd make it. And it meant missing MissW...
