We don't have to tell you that it's almost Thanksgiving. We can tell by that look of dread on your face that you're already anticipating a brawl with the in-laws or an endless evening of Uncle Jim-Bob recounting war stories while you battle indigestion and tryptophan-induced sluggishness.

Hey girl, hey! Make way for Mr. Gay.
Equality Forum 2008 kicked off yesterday with a VIP reception at City Hall, marking the beginning of a week of presentations, panel discussions and, of course, parties.

About two weeks ago, the Phillyist Editorial Staff received a press release that AOL City Guide had ranked Philadelphia's best dining and nightlife. We read through every single category and even tried out some of the places on the list. It's not Zagat, but it's not bad. Here's our take on AOL's take.

And we're pretty sure could be considered Goth, if you performed it right. Despondent Heaven is $3, and you must be 21 or older to get in.
