The Holiday season is in full swing in NYC, with holiday lights in Brooklyn, a giant snow globe in Bryan Park and Chanukah specials for ham. One citizen decided to go vigilante on annoying car alarms, a murder suspect used a fake Asian accent on the stand and a video of a man being beaten up by teenage girls on a subway shocked the city. And we interviewed soon-to-be-leaving-Gawker editor Choire Sicha, who said, "Wouldn't a kinder, gentler Gawker be hideously unreadable? No, we never talked about that. It would be hysterical but we haven't."

It is not unusual for Phillyist to hear that a band is coming through town...but it is unusual to hear a band is coming through town by boat - which is why The Sailboat Tour caught our eye (and our fancy). Indie musicians Peter and the Wolf, Castanets & Jana Hunter have recently embarked on a 3-week tour in a boat captained by eye-patched, erstwhile DJ, Dan Gaeta. This weekend, they'll be docking in Philly for two shows: Friday night at Nexus, and Saturday night at the Green Line. Not only does this sound like a real adventure, but it seems to us that it's a great way to foil those insidious tour van-stealing villains, too. The only way this tour could be any cooler would be if they were doing it dressed as pirates. Peter and the Wolf, Castanets and Jana Hunter
