Looking for something to do tonight? February boring you? Feel a primal need to fight the snow and the ice bearing down on our fair city? Check out The Bravery (with guests The Switches and Your Vegas) at the Fillmore at the TLA. No less than the Village Voice has proclaimed them 'New York's Next Big Thing' and the venerable Auntie Beeb called them 2005's (okay, we know it's 2008) most promising act.

  • An abandoned warehouse in West Kensington was the site of the start of a 7-alarm fire Wednesday morning that led to the evacuation of people within a two-block radius, and the destruction of many neighboring houses.

    I don't know nearly as much about poker as I thought I did. Apparently, watching the occasional episode of one hand might beat another instead of paying attention to the plot.

    No this isn't an ode to the Rolling Stones (though we do hear the bass line from that song in our head when we're walking down Market Street in the summertime). This is an ode to our love, Philadelphia. We are counting the hours until we get back to your edgy goodness. Unlike our other trips to Vegas, this one sucks. Perhaps it is because we are travelling alone and aren't in the mood to...

    : No future screenings scheduled

    We resisted writing about this because we'll be out of town and therefore unable to experience its awesomeness. Then we got over ourselves. Next week is the first annual POPPED! Festival, which runs from Monday, April 9 to Sunday, April 15. Our earlier allusion to your hymen comes from the fact that as much as you try to be in the know, you may not be as familiar with some of the bands as you'd like. Never fear, XPN is here. (Never thought we'd write that.) We've seen coverage about it on other media outlets, but we like this page because we can listen to mp3s from some of the bands, watch videos, and click links for prime MySpace stalking. If we were in town we'd turn on and tune in to Pattern is Movement, Dr. Dog, and Golden Ball, at a minimum.

    ...And I’m thinking the emergency room isn’t it.

  • The casinos are apparently sending attorneys and private investigators to harrass people who signed those anti-casino petitions. Smooth, guys. Smooth. Meanwhile, a Bucks County judge has been appointed to decide whether those groups successfully collected the 20,000 signatures they need to get the casino question on the May 15 ballot.

    If it weren't for our life as an -ist, we're not sure we'd ever leave our apartment. Fortunately, to fully -ist, one must seek out the new, the fresh, and the unknown. Brand new, or just new to us, that's what we're all about this week.

    C'mon, admit it: you haven't washed that filthy old car of yours since Clinton was in office. So why not take it up to the parking lot next to Walt's Circle Tavern - right off Oxford Circle on Route 1 in Northeast Philly - between noon and 5PM tomorrow and get it washed by the Philly Roller Girls? (Check out our fun interview with them here.) They'll do it for you (on their skates, we hope) for only $8 (with a half-price discount for police and fire vehicles), and the money will go to fund their new travel team, who are headed to Las Vegas in November to face the Sin City Roller Girls. While you're there, you can pick up tickets to the league's first ever championship bout, which takes place September 10th, and features competition between two undefeated teams: the Broad Street Butchers and the Philthy Britches.

    Once in a while, Phillyist readers ask us really good questions. We try to answer them, when we can, or refer them to the right sources, if we have them. But we've noticed that some of our sister sites do this on their sites. And some of our sister sites' readers give great feedback. So when a reader recently reached out and asked us a question we weren't sure how to answer, we thought we'd open it up to you, our readers. The question is:

    My but we had a great time last night. We only wish we could have shared it with our sister sites...
