• Posted Brave the Snow for the Bravery to Phillyist
  Looking for something to do tonight? February boring you? Feel a primal need to fight the snow and the ice bearing down on our fair city?

If we paid any attention to our mother's advice about not saying anything if there's nothing nice to say...we would probably never say anything about a show at Festival Pier ever again, much less a punk...
