We figured the Cosa Nostra had moved to the burbs by now...

Dear Wegmans:

Life is better on a Mac. Air is sweeter, food tastes better, and music sounds musicer.

Remember when people used to go out to meet other people?

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

Toby Lightman

As everyone watched Haley Scarnato get her ass kicked off American Idol last night, we were at The Tower Theater watching Toby Lightman's kick-ass show. She was so good we forgot who she was opening for. Oh yeah, Taylor Hicks, the winner of American Idol's fifth season, and better known as The Soul Patrol. Toby Lightman, a native of Cherry Hill, NJ, rocked the house last night showcasing songs from her new album, Bird...

That's right, the Soul Patrol is in town. Not really sure if Philadelphia needs any more soul, but I guess we can decide that tonight. I'll be honest, I am not really a fan of Taylor Hicks. I didn't vote for him nor do I agree with America that he should have won American Idol's Season 5. He's a good performer and singer, just not an "idol" to me. His part of the show should be entertaining with well-performed music even though his newly released album is contrived, boring, and a bit adult-contemporary. It's entitled Taylor Hicks. Original, don't you think? Tonight is really about his opening act, Toby Lightman. This is truly an artist who actually still has some soul in her.

To the Bus Driver Who Took Me to My Joke of a Job Interview in Cherry Hill:

What's new and/or interesting at Philly theaters this weekend.

If you’re looking for a nice way to spend your Friday that doesn’t involve work, but, to keep your conscience at bay, involves doing SOMETHING worthwhile, check out the Urban-Rural Connections bus tour, which is part of Farm Aid. Stops include Pheasant Hill Farm, Rodale Institute Farm and Somerton Tanks Farm. You’ll be riding with farmers from around the country who can talk about innovative and organic farm programs that are working to improve the food we eat sans chemicals and all that other nasty stuff.

Somebody Set Us Up the Bomb: The Lunabomber is trying to resurrect the "All Your Base" meme in honor of its fifth year. Phillyist is happy to help, because we'd rather see "All Your Base" make a triumphant return than the dreaded Dancing Hamsters.

If you want to get down and dirty in Jersey this Thursday night, WMMR is sponsoring a Painfully Singles Mixer at Top Dog in Cherry Hill, N.J.

In a post last week, we directed you to the Philadelphia livejournal community, where the posters were fondly remembering the not-quite-dead Dave Roberts and his, as it turns out, not-quite-dead weather board. Phillyist reader Jen Miller writes in to tell us:

It should come as no surprise that Phillyist is aggressively local. And why not? There’s good livin’ in Philadelphia - cheap real estate (compared to other Eastern cities, anyway), restaurants and culture that hold their own at the very least, and teams in every major sport that, even if they’re not always good, are always fun to follow.
