There's a reason why I don't fry things, and it has nothing to do with health.

Yeah, yeah. That term seems oxymoronic to its very core, with punk being all anti-establishment and all. But really, being a bit of an anarchist doesn't have to mean being rude. (Really. Plenty of people in the establishment are rude enough – you're probably more of a rebel if you're nice to everyone.)

June 28 - Ryan Adams is in his own little world. It’s this world of genius and unpredictable behavior on the stage that makes you lose your own sense of pride. God forbid that you piss him off; everyone is pulling their best audience etiquette, hoping for smidgen of appreciation from Adams. For a guy who’s famous for walking off stage because of less than par crowds, his music is endearing as hell. Ryan...

Some people have a "Things to do Before I Die" list. I don't necessarily have a "list," but since I am obsessive about having lists, I do have some idea what I would put on that list. I can honestly say that I can officially check "Have a famous talented musician play a private performance for me" off my list. While I am a bit upset no one took my advice to see Abra Moore...

Yesterday was President's Bush first press conference this year. If you missed the conference and you haven't read about it, you can read the transcript here. Since I am a teacher, I had the day off yesterday, so as I was casually changing the channel, in my pajamas, I began to notice that every channel had President Bush on. Boy, was I pissed—he was ruining my daytime television romp. Before I switched to my DVR to watch the previous night's episode of "House", I watched the President stumble over his words for a few minutes. I then noticed myself screaming explicitives at the TV. That is when I knew I had to stop watching.

Jill's Take:

Before I begin my review of to make sure to visit the restroom on their way into the theater. The film clocks in at just under 150 minutes, without previews. Now that that's out of the way...

Having recently graduated from Penn with Bachelor of the Arts degrees in Theatre Arts and Afro-American Studies, I found a job in the line of employment I was most expected to enter: retail. While there are many other ways I would prefer to spend my days, this pays the bills provides me with full health benefits, so I really can’t complain. It also means that I am guaranteed an endless supply of entertainment, via street traffic and customers, which is more than enough to keep me happy.

Well, well, well. Week two of DanceBOOM! is under way, and Phillyist is even more excited after this week's show than we were after last week's. Ann Marie Mulgrew & Dancers weren't exactly what I was expecting, and I lied to you (not on purpose) about their start time -- but I'm going to blame both of those facts on the promise of the rain that never came, as the performance was supposed to be outdoors. Even if it had rained, there really wasn't any need to cancel or change the pre-show: all the ladies were carrying open umbrellas with them (bad luck indoors!). Nevermind if they were wearing all white. (Incidentially, the all-white gave me a scary sorority flashback. From those two days I was a Greek and had to find all-white clothing. Before I quit.) Mulgrew's piece was at least visually interesting, I just would have liked to see it on its full scale.
