First off, merry Christmas!  Downtown is closed this Saturday, and I’ll be heading up north to spend the weekend with family.
This Friday, however, is the Met / Vault reunion party at The District.  It sounds like a blast, and lots of unnecessarily black-and-white pictures will follow.  Latin night has been put on hold this week, [...]

I was invited to a private function at Denim Lounge this past Wednesday.  Free drinks, free food, how could I say no?  The function was from 7-11, so we left Harrisburg at 4, figuring 3 hours would be more than enough to beat Philly rush hour.

First, [...]

I love mine.  Two tons of four-wheel drive steel with a 7-speaker sound system and a hosable, watertight interior.  It has roughly the same cargo capacity as a UPS van, and it’s one of the few vehicles that can comfortably seat two 6′1″ adults in the back.  The MP3 jack is the icing on the [...]

Saturday nights are so much better than Fridays.  Nothing against Latin Night, it’s just not my kind of music.  The crowds are great, the people are great, but sometimes I get paranoid that I’m the only one there who speaks English.  And really, it’s easy money, so I’m not complaining.
Saturdays are a lot more fun.  [...]
