Hi. Okay, so its been some time since the last heroic venture on the turbulent seas of philly streets, but heres why. ITS FUCKING COLD. Regardless, we went out last night and did the standard bar crawl, and took no pictures, and not much happened at all, but its still significant and heres why. ITS STILL FUCKING COLD BUT WE SUCKED IT UP AND DID THE THING ANYWAY Now you’re wondering how fiftyonefiftyone does it. Look, you don’t need special powers or abilities, no, you just need this: more... [...]

Seriously, I need Pimp C to do the voiceover for this. Ayres and Cosmo killed it . J&J had me mesmerized and the Womb was everything you would expect it to be; dark, warm and inviting. The Rub in the sixth boro was where it was at tonight. I was taking pictures all night and when I finally took my last pic, I was ready to get ugly with the rest of them. I'm surprised I didn't throw my arm out of its socket and on to the dance floor. I'll [...]

Its football season, or more appropriately Eagles season here. Seth and I headed to Las Vegas Lounge to check out the game. Fridays have $2.25 Yuengling 20 oz drafts which are a great compliment with an Eagles game and a good way to start out the night. So, first game back for Owens and we have a repeat of last year against the Ravens. We watched the Birds put up 27 points to Cincy's 3 during the first half at the bar. Then we played a round of pool while the game finished out. [...]

So since we love music so much, we thought we would start a new regular post with links to all the hottest ish that is blastin through our speakers. The title will definitely be called "More Bounce". Right now I'm looking at separating them by giving them a subtitle of Greek letters. If you have a better idea hit me off with an email. I'll give you credit and link to your site and all sorts of fun stuff. Anyways, without further ado: Since I know you [...]

If they're not talking about you, then you're not important. Well, Lady Sovereign. Hmm. She was at Silk City. Can't really say she played there. There was a performance. It was in two acts. It was originally scheduled to be a musical but became a play. For the full breakdown... We got there at 11 and saw a line around the block. R5 had told everyone to get there at 9 to ensure entry. They stopped [...]

First off a moment of silence for Rosa Parks. Thank you and just to clarify things from her book My Story via wikipedia: People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving [...]

Love Bmore club and don't have enough music at home to bounce around to? Not sure what Bmore club is but love that booty bass music that Low Budget always drops at the craziest point in the night? Well you're in luck. Low Budget of Hollertronix and Aaron LaCrate have dropped their new mix CD Bmore Gutter Music . This CD is definitely hot right now and makes me feel like I should have my own personal booty dancers dancing while I type this. With original cuts by Low Budget, Spankrock and [...]

Pleasuretronix like whoa! Pleasuretown was rockin' again til 8 AM, this time with Josh Wink. Downstairs Cosmo, Low Budget and Ric Rock tore it down. On the main floor Ovum held it down with Wink, Okeef and more. Upstairs Steven Bloodbath and John Redden were killing it as expected. And now for the rest of the story... We headed to old city as friends came into town and met up with some more cats. Normal crowd as expected but not as crowded as one [...]

Partying until 8 AM puts you into a different realm. There are those nights when you get home and the birds have just started chirping and its not quite as dark as it has been. 8, however, is the next level. Its fully light out and normal people are just waking up, getting ready to go to church and start their days as they go about with their everyday lives. We however are just stepping out into the daylight trying to remember the whole night... [...]

Before the night had started, I was offered a medium drink filled with a miscellaneous substance posing as coca cola. Now, whenever I come across a dangerous-looking foreign substance I immediately consult the musically based medical guide “Poison� by Nas, which is advertised as an all inclusive list of various poisons which one should not ingest. (For example: “Radio and TV: Poison, white Jesus: Poison.�) Unfortunately, this helpful tune might not be as comprehensive as Nas would have you believe. (Suggested addition: “Rohypnal flavored coca cola is… uh… poison.�) Anyways, I was fading in and out all night taking pictures [...]

If you've been following along you know exactly what the headline means. This weekend is no different as we keep on grinding. Full details found: Friday, November 4th at TPDS is a Guatemala Mudslide benefit at TPDS, 114 S. 12th Street. This event is sponsored by the Guatemala Health Initiative of Penn Med Global Health and all proceeds go to help rebuild a hospital that was covered by a 6 foot wall of mud. For full details on this trajedy check out this article. [...]

I woke up today and found a scrap of paper containing the jagged stuttering writing of “Kenny â€" SwingKiddâ€? on it, suggesting that indeed, something happened last night. Such scribbilous patterns on asymmetrically torn pieces of paper do not materialize under their own cognizance. And again, more evidence.. A folded hard paper flyer [...]

Waking up someone asked how the party was so my friend replied "This kid still has makeup on and I woke up with a candy necklace on." So crazy last night. Place was packed. Costume game was real. The Baseball Furies (Ayres, Cosmo, Caps and Jones) tore it up on the decks. I may have had one too many drinks. BPP and Bufflalo represented as the whole place cheered when they were called out. Check the pics here .

Honestly, whats better than tearing the fucking club up at a funeral parlor for Halloween? So far, not much. We'll see how Ruboween compares tonight cause I'm sure it will be close. If you weren't there, you definitely missed out cause the energy last night was incredible. It was a byo so I rolled up with a bottle of E&J and some Carabao (red bull i get in china town at $6 for 10). I was passin that around all night and [...]

At gun point, the clown didn’t look so happy. He begged and pleaded for mercy, but alas, the masked female figure had every intention of killing tonight, and would not be dissuaded because of the mere protests of a carnival worker. Fortunately for him, the plastic gun was filled with blanks, and additionally, made out of plastic, resulting in a disappointing and anticlimactic end to the night. None the less, I took this picture at a critical moment in time so you can share a part in the panic. Thrilling.

The night took a slightly unpleasant turn as ghostly figures (pictured here) drew out of the fog and made threatening hostile gestures growling repeated demands to “get out of eternal resting place� Apparently though, that’s the limit of their abilities, so we spilled some beer on them and they went elsewhere to complain about their underachieving undead lives.

What you can’t see in this picture, is that SwingKidd has two turntables under the set, and he’s operating them with his toes to create a layered schizophrenic series of beats that you’d have to be catatonic to restrain yourself from breaking out in a variety of chaotic dance moves. The only way such a device can be operated is with careful artistic inspiration and possibly, methamphetamines.

Pleasuretown delivered as expected. I came by early for the open bar and John Redden of Socket Sundays opened up. Next was Philmoore Brown rocking out with a crazy performance. I checked out the attic with Freak and met with Zeit und Raum . Hope and Samantha let me know that it means "Time and Space" in English. Zeit und Raum also has a show at each Freak on the last Friday of every month at Fluid . The theme for tonight was Arctic Futuristic [...]

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 [...]

There’s the girl, across the club, who works at a drug store. She’s a pharmacist and does overtime, she’s there nearly 70 hours a week. If you ask her how she is, normally she’ll barely answer you. She’d just nod, and stare off into the distance. If you’re lucky you might get a mumbled reply in cliché form. “How are you.� A question to answer a question. Somehow though, she’s forgotten herself, and now communicates vividly using soaring hand motions, with the trails from strobing lights throwing in conjecture and highlighting [...]
