What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend.
In college, we knew this girl. Every time she hooked up, we found her in her room the next morning, dancing to "Angel of the Silences" from Recovering the Satellites. She said there was just something about that song. We'll probably run into her this weekend, at the Counting Crows show at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington. There's no doubt we'll ask if that's still her victory song.
ABC 6 seems to have had way too much self love over its Thanksgiving Day Parade. Wednesday night at 11 PM they dedicated a large chunk of the first part of the newscast to the parade. Especially ridiculous was a poorly produced Dann Cuellar piece where he spent several minutes previewing the parade and “visited” the “North Pole” with some of the most awful green screen work you will ever see. If you are going to do something like this, do it at the end of the newscast and not at 11 p.m. when there are no children watching.

Let's look back at a week in which no site in the -ist network adopted anyone from Africa...
There is a Circle Storytelling event this Saturday Night at 8PM at Bar Noir (112 S. 18th Street), with Nicole McEwan, CA Conrad, Sean Stevens and Keith Kessler slated to entertain with their tales. Note, too, that there are a couple of open mic spots for those of you brave enough to get up and tell your own story (so long as you can do so in 10 minutes or less.).

Saturday Night, Phillyist crawled out of our relatively cool, dark apartment and faced the August weather in order to check out Smog at the North Star.
