The good thing about clubs with a ground floor and a balcony overhead is you can make intense eye contact with minimal social repercussions. It's more of a psychological advantage than anything. Your mind says, "She's on a different LEVEL man, she can't reach you." and suddenly you're standing on the other side of a massive canyon, there's no way you'll actually meet.
In reality, getting your ass kicked is only a staircase away...

Rain in the city is a beautiful thing. Not because of the way it turns the ground to a warped refracted pool, bouncing back streetlamps as flickering globs of light. And not because of the sound which muffles the cars and gears churning throughout the city, softening the harsh edges and replacing them with a gentle ambience.
Its because girls who are wearing white shirts refuse to have their night's ruined by a few droplets of water, and so continue to bounce from club to club in increasingly transparent clothing.
I love rain in the city.

First Fridays

First Fridays is one of my favorite aspects of Philly. You can always find some great art, interesting people and free refreshments. Last night was no exception. I stopped by Drizzle Gallery for their grand opening. Drizzle is a completely new gallery in that it showcases only digital multi-media installments. Drizzle definitely impressed with work from Jen McCleary, Jessica Selig and more. There were so many great galleries and exhibits, you should definitely check them out before their exhibitions end.

Afterwards we headed to Ulanas for White T's and White Belts with emynd, the Swede and Bo Bliz. They killed it as expected. If you don't know about these guys check them out every First Friday with $2 PBRs til midnight, free admission before 11 and only $5 after.

After getting our drink on we headed to Wax for a Friday night dance party. Diabolic from the Town Jewelerz and special guest John Redden from Socket Sundays at Silk City dropped the party jams and got the dancefloor rockin. Check it out every Friday for a danceable spot in Old City with drink specials til midnight

Girls dancing and chanting around purses and half full glasses, I feel like I'm witnessing some bizarre voodoo ritual- centered somewhere around materialism and alcoholism. One voracious short-skirted tribeswoman keeps flicking up her skirt in our direction, some kind of primitive "come-hither" communique. And so we edge closer to the circle of flailing, swaying bodies hoping to catch a glimpse of the cultural link between us and they.

Its on!

So, last night was the final Family Affair outside at Marathon. Its a shame, cause its really picked up steam. I got there at like 10:30 and it was packed. Emynd was rocking it on the decks. It was definitely hot, excellent ratio on the dance floor , free lager and good music all under the stars. Jay was there and letting me know about an upcoming party/venture to benefit some good people and causes. I will keep you informed as I learned more. And if you just want to party crazy like with some college jawns, check out The Wednesday Night Weekly.

We left to check out the Wax Bar grand opening. The Town Jewelrz were there killing it on the decks. Hit me up at fiftyonefiftyone@gmail.com if you want to get their new ill exclusive CD. Wax is definitely the spot if you're looking for a good place in Old City. With Mental Sharp on Saturdays this is the place to be in Old City.

We were looking for the The Straight Dope so we went to Khyber upstairs. Dev79, Stumble, Generic Man with Rubix hooked us up with our fix. Khyber upstairs is where good music and crunk hipsters come to mix it up.

Philly needs to change their club hours to be open later but until then we went to this other place. The whole time I was getting jammed up so I'm not even going to mention their name.
