Fun around town, for $10 or less:

Some of you may have noticed a bit of a stir in Philadelphia a few weeks ago. We're talking giant equipment cases blocking the sidewalk, your local pub taken hostage by a monkey masked man and a camera crew, or perhaps screaming in the woods. That's because 48 teams took to the streets of Philadelphia for a fun-filled weekend of guerilla filmmaking at its finest. There were teams from Philly, New Jersey, Delaware, and even New York. There was a one man team (who has notably completed 19 films in 9 different cities); a four man team; a team made up of 35+ current Rowan University students; a team led by a 15 year old high schooler who had to have his teacher turn in his film for lack of a drivers license; a team who made their film into the 18th episode of a their TV series; a team who managed to cast local alt porn actress Stoya; a team from local staple Sweetbread Studios; a team made up of the crew from Center City Film and Video; and a team competing for their 8th year in a row.

The New York Times' Travel section ran a piece today that calls Philadelphia a "destination city"—something we could have told them years ago. We're happy that The Times has finally decided to show the City of Brotherly Love a little affection (instead of that Sixth Borough crap from a few years ago), but we'd like to point out that their recommended schedule is almost as improbable as the route of the Rocky run.
