When we told you that Andrew Bird's concert was sold out, boy did we misunderstand what sold out was. At the Fillmore at the TLA, sold out means the girl on your left doesn't have a problem rubbing up against you throughout the night, even though her boyfriend is on the other side. Not sure if he cared; I would have. It means that the girl behind you likes to breathe heavily on your...

Tonight is an exciting night. Tonight is the night that Andrew Bird plays at the Fillmore at the TLA. It's so exciting that my brother flew in from Utah to see me him.

Full disclosure: I am a sucker for Parker Posey. There's something about her impish grin and the social ineptitude of her characters that makes me heart everything she's in. So I was psyched to see her in this Zoe Cassavetes film about Nora, an anxiety-riddled 30-ish hotel guest relations expert who has horrible luck with men, until a sexy Parisian comes along and rocks her world.

He inhabits the role well, oozing that French je ne sais quoi, and it doesn't hurt that the dude is hot. Like "we would've been fine with his scenes if he'd just read the phone book" hot.

...Mischief: Utah Jazz player Carlos Boozer (we're refraining from making a joke about his name) has filed a complaint against Prince, who is currently renting Boozer's Southern California home. The Artist, or somebody employed by him, made "unauthorized home improvements" in the form of purple stripes and other decorations (including Prince's symbol and "3121," the name of his new album.) Oh, Dave Chappelle, where are you and why aren't you making fun of this? (Via Fox Sports, with photos courtesy of What Would Tyler Durden Do?)

Philly always has had an inferiority complex. We live in the shadow of New York. Our sports teams always lose. London totally has a better Live 8 lineup. We're the largest city without a Gothamist site.
