Holy Sweet Tap-dancing Jesus! I agree with Angelo Cataldi!

Dear SEPTA:
Put down the Pabst, folks, Philly Beer Week has officially begun. Beer enthusiasts and general tipplers alike can treat their palates to city-wide specials on Philly's numerous local craft brews and imports.
Everyone, meet Hannah Montana Miley Cyrus's brother, Trace Cyrus. He's taken his Achy Breaky genetics and taken a sharp left toward electronica with his band Metro Station (MySpace), and he's taken Mason Musso, brother of co-star Michel Musso, along for the ride.
We are torn. We are not usually torn. Usually, when something makes us rather uncomfortable, we use our prerogative as a (unpaid) blogger to ignore it. We have taken great license with our Phillyist byline, in that we write about what we like and think is important; we don’t pick up on the stuff that is out of our league or seems boring to us. Hence you’ll find a lot of arty stuff, charity stuff, and even some sports stuff under the below name. However, today, we are torn.

We're on the Metro Life Panel. They occasionally send us surveys. We occasionally answer them. Then we get invited to Happy Hours. It's a good thing.
Chicagoist is gearing up for this weekend's annual Air & Water Show along the lakefront. In what's becoming an annual tradition around there, staff member Todd McClamroch even got to fly with one of the participants. Chicagoist's decidedly opinionated readership was also appalled that one of their staffers found a popular local brewpub to be a great place to bring a kid. They also think that an unlikely activist for immigration rights should just take her medicine and offered their own suggestions to how the city should capitalize on the local music scene. And everyone thinks that a suggested tax on bottled water is a great idea.
Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt, who has completely covered her house in mosaic tiles.
There must be something in the Cheez Whiz, since Rick Oliveri, the owner of Rick’s Philly Steaks in Reading Terminal Market, is again in some hot water. The last time that Rick, a member of the original Pat’s Steak’s family, was in the news, was last October, when he was getting sued by relative Frank Oliveri Jr. over references to Pat’s Steaks in the promotional materials for his Citizens Bank Park location.
Phillyist is pleased to announced that we were chosen to be the Philly representative on Filter's TourZine and Official Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Tour Guide. We're taking over from Music Snobbery, who did the review of the New York show, and we'll be passing things off to Metro Distortion, who will cover tonight's show in Washington, DC. So here's our official review of BRMC's show last night. Woo hoo!
Spring is when we get busy here in the Ist-A-Verse. Very busy. But, after staying bundled-up indoors all winter, it's nice for us to be out, about, and collecting things to write about for you. Here's a glimpse at what's been keeping your favorite citybloggers busily away from home and out of bed.
We don't know about where you are, but it seems like spring can't decide whether or not to happen. Some days are warm, some days are cold, and sometimes you aren't sure which. Baseball may have started up (and soccer/football winding down) but it still seems cold out there. Unless it's not. Anyways, onto the -ists.
Between fake terrorist alerts and scandals big and small, this just might be the Best Best of the -ists ever. We're exhausted just thinking about it.
Texas is thawing, the Northeast is freezing, and a sort of natural order seems almost restored to the Ist-A-Verse. Almost.
We don't know about you, but it's friggin cold out there. Well, not for some of you. It seems as though places that are supposed to be cold are warm and places that are supposed to be warm are cold. Or maybe that's just us. Either way, we're freezing.
Sunday. Usually, a quiet, contemplative day in the Blogosphere. But not here in the Ist-a-Verse. Nonono! Just look below and see all of the wild and crazy stuff our staffs are up to.
Somehow, the world of -ists managed to make it through the week despite news that Jen & Vince broke up.
As fall settles in and another calendar page gets turned, thoughts turn from bbq's and vacations to holidays and the realization that '06 is coming to an end. With all that going on, with change in the air, we wonder what is it the -ists ponder?

God, we're so sick of
that we want to kill anyone and everyone that
makes a "something on a something" joke. But then we realized that
there was no way we could ever win this fight, and, hell, if you can't
beat them, we might as well join them. And with that, you have the
theme of this weeks' Gothamist network post.
Austinist makes it easy for
us, with Candidate
on a Civic Building,
on a Blank, and
on a Freeway (warning: sad).
Can we force SFist into our Noun
in a Noun box? Hell, yeah! We got us a
on a Laptop,
on a Plate, and the
on a Tear.
Phillyist brings us
on a Set of Stairs (or not),
Towels on a Phillyist and
Benefit on a Thursday.
We always look forward to
week is no exception as one of our favorite -ist columnists, Shanghai
Fag Hag Tiffany, tells us about
on a Night Out. Stick around for
Animals on a Limited Lease, an
on a Shanghai Street and a
on a Rampage.
Oh, no! It's
on a Listserv! DCist also
features Logo
on a Boob,
Side Standers on a S**tlist,
R. Rees on a Furlough From The Nuthouse,
on a Break, and
on a Sign.
What does LAist have for us? Oh,
there's Dogg
on a Mike, a
on a Generation,
Style on a Double Double, and
Boots on a Bunch of People.

Houstonist is full of
Houstonny goodness, what with
Sentiments on a Wall,
Plans on a Table (from which they can, apparently, never be
removed), Penguins
on a Freeway Again (warning: still sad), and
Chicks on a Shortened Tour.
Seattlest does a public
service by pointing out some
on a Child Molester's Identity, rocks out to
on a Stage, sees
on a US Tour, and folks flying out of Sea-Tac (hahahahaha)
on a Plane.
Oh, Torontoist, why so
cranky? They
on a Lame Movie, and it's pretty damn funny. Also:
Bush on a Billboard,
Theft on a Guarded Block, and
Parade on a Deadline.
Chicagoist is
the
the best
time
as they Muse
on a Fest. Oh, god, it's
Francis (allegedly non-consensually) on a Drunk Woman. How about
Beloved
DJ Not on a Radio? Finally, look at
on a City-Wide Scale.
We round out our week of Something on a Something with some links from
Gothamist. They bring us a
nightmarish tale of
on
a Train
Platform. Easier to take are
on a Crime Wave,
Flower on a Web Cam, a
Leopard on a Mission (thankfully, NOT sad), and, last but
certainly not least,
Hype on a September Evening.

Even as the stores sport back to school sales (which depress us, even now), summer lingers on your friends the -ists. This week's collection of links provides some of the best, worst, and oddest bits of summer fun. So, bring your laptop up onto the roof, make yourself an umbrella drink or ten, and enjoy this week's choice posts from across the Gothamist network.
-By way of the This Is the City of Brotherly Love LJ Community, (and subsequently The Inquirer and Bizjournal.com) we learn that Philly isn't as smart as we might think we are. We were going to start a discussion about how this was a syllogistic fallacy to equate "degreed" with intelligence, but we just couldn't be arsed, frankly. So, um, yeah. How do you like those apples, smarty pants?
DCist is screwed in the event of an oil crisis. Not that we're not all screwed in the event of an oil crisis, just D.C. is more screwed. Don't sell your car yet, District resident, a cabbie can kick you to the curb if he doesn't like your address. Not even Metro can save you now.
Londonist prepares a Happy Birthday bath for Buddah this week and then things get all cliched. A madman goes on a rampage while axe-wielding and London's mayor warns an American diplomat to avoid the kitchen if the heat bothers him so much.
LAist tracks an award-winning TV writer who worked on Good Times to a homeless shelter and sees a Little Old Lady get a jaywalking ticket because she can't get across fast enough (in the same post!). Poets invade Metro and an LAist contributor's new book asks WWJB.
