A few weeks ago someone posted a Greasemonkey script in a game of Odd Man In. I had heard of Greasemonkey, but I didn’t know what it was until now. It’s a firefox extension that allows you to easily install simple JavaScript files and apply them to various websites. In short, this extension lets you…

Built to Spill rocked the Electric Factory last night. The opening band was so dark and brooding that it made even the most plodding Built to Spill tune sound upbeat. The set list was great and included I Would Hurt a Fly, Plan, Distopian Dream Girl, and my two favorite songs, Big Dipper and Stop…

I went to the Dali Exhibit at the Philadelphia Art Museum and it was amazing. Typically, I favor exhibits about a period or a group of artists, because seeing the same artist’s work over and over dilutes the impact of seeing an individual piece. Dali can pull it off. I feel like I learned more…

Philebrity’s tells the amazing story of this guy’s plan to get Echo and the Bunnymen to hang out at the Pontiac Grille after last night’s show. Apparently the South Street cops aren’t keen on people passing out flyers.The cops ask for ID, which I give right away, and then proceed to search me. And man,…

Last Wednesday I went to the open mic at the Tree House and Jonny Miles asked if I wanted to host this week. So if you want to come out it’s from 7:00PM – 9:00PM on Wednesday, May 18th. It was pretty dead there on Wednesday. Johnny, Bob Michel, and a few others were there.…

Last night I got home at around 9:00PM and was all ready to watch the 2nd to last episode of Survivor: Palau when I realized that somehow my cable box was turned off. TiVo record an hour’s worth of the Blank Screen Show, but luckily my mom usually records it, so I’ll watch it at…

Wendy’s is giving out free Frostys this weekend to say “thank you” for everyone who put up with the chili situation, which is marketing-speak for “please come back.” Out of all the fast food joints, I think Wendy’s is one of the best so I feel bad that they got screwed in the whole dead.…

Built to Spill is playing tomorrow night at the Electric Factory and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve really gotten into them over the last few years.

From CNN – LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) — HBO has pulled up stakes on “Carnivale,” opting not to order a third season of the circus-set Dust Bowl drama. “We have decided not to renew ‘Carnivale,’ ” said Carolyn Strauss, president of entertainment at HBO, in a statement. “We feel the two seasons we had…

The other day I drove behind a dark greenish-blue, Pontiac Transport mini-van. With spinners. It looksed exactly like this, but with the rims of course. If I had a camera phone I would have taken a picture of it, but I don’t. My phone does have a huge crack in it, though.

You only have 30-60 minutes to join the next game of Odd Man In, titled, The Odd Squad. Good luck! Update: Too late, the game has started.

Adam and I saw Xxoxia rock the Pontiac on Cinco de Mayo. It was the first time I heard Phil’s full band and it was awesome. Their sound is very 90’sish. I’d say a cross between Tool and Our Lady Peace. Downstairs they had a $2.50 Corona deal and when we went upstairs to see…

The second Cutie Theater movie is coming soon!

Imaging you’re doing some roofing work and you find a bunch of old currency, worth $120,000 to a collector. Would you A) Alert the owner of the house? B) Take it, lay low and sell it discretely to a collector? C) Take it, call the media, and pretended you dug it up in your backyard?…

So far I’ve enjoyed Survivor: Palau, mostly due to the fierce competitiveness and smart strategizing of Philadelphian, Stephenie Lagrossa. Her tribe became the first to lose every single immunity challenge, but it was her teammates that consistantly let the tribe down. Stephenie kicked ass wherever and whenever asses were found and her possible comeback was…

JohnS writes: What?s goin? on at the Tree House? Well as always, there?s Christian Open Mic Night on Sundays and Thursdays, and secular Open Mic continues (for now) on Wednesdays from 7 to 9 with Johnny Miles. But things are changing a bit on the weekends. Performers will now play just from 7:30 ? 9:30…
