If you are an elitist coffee nerd like us, you get Starbucks e-mail. Today we received a missive that totally got our caffeine-infused juices flowing.

It was a strange morning for jogger Charles S., who'd taken to the crisp air at 5:00 am on July 15th 1967. As he inhaled the fresh air into his lungs, two men suddenly joined him, the trio happily bounding along the pathway.

This week's quote comes from Eugene O'Neill, who said: "It is Mystery—the mystery any one man or woman can feel but not understand as the meaning of any event—or accident—in any life on earth ... [that] I want to realize in the theatre. The solution, if there ever be any, will probably have to be produced in a test tube and turn out to be discouragingly undramatic." Now, on with the listings!

This week’s quote comes from the late great Noel Coward. It reads, in full: “Acting is not a state of being ... but a state of appearing to be. You can't be eight times a week without going stark staring mad. You've got to be in control.” Now, on with the listings!

In 1997, a group of cunning arts folk decided that Philadelphia was really missing out on something. With all of the alternative culture in the city, Philadelphia needed a Fringe Festival, much like those held in Edinburgh and New York City. The Philadelphia Fringe Festival is now two separate, concurrent festivals: The Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and the Philly Fringe (PLAF) , both of which kick off tomorrow and run for sixteen days thereafter.

The Philly Fringe - which provides opportunities for any artist, independent of a selection process, to self-produce their work - represents the true international ‘Fringe’ movement.”
