• Posted Erin's PLAF Diary for Monday, September 10 to Phillyist
  Performances: Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical (To The Wall Productions) (Future Showtimes) I got a late start on the PLAF, and I do feel sad and sorry about it. I was out of town, and arrived in the middle of last week to a job tornado, the start of new classes, and some large plumbing problems at home. But all that is marginally under control, and I'm ready to see some shows involving sex, nudity,...
• Posted Kick It Up a Notch to Phillyist

  It’s the final day of station WHYY 90.9’s fundraising drive. I know, I know, you don’t like to be asked for money, because you’re a stingy bastard, and you hate those annoying pledge drives, but just think of all the moments that you’ve spent with good old NPR this year. Checking the weather before you leave the house on Morning Edition; commuting with Radio Times host Marty Moss-Coane; picking-up great conversation starters on Fresh Air...
• Posted Mission 300 - Choose to Accept It to Phillyist
  Maybe you've been missing out, all this time, on www.BadmintonStamps.com, written by Philabuster and SkinnySlim, two witty, sometimes charmingly snarky, guys who are way more up on the music-slash-party scene in Philadelphia and Brooklyn than you are. Their great site has two battling playlists to keep you entertained at work; music and other news from Philly and that still-sometimes affordable borough; and hot links to songs carefully paired with the long soundbite-sized posts.
