After Ayers and Cosmo absolutely killed it they're back again at Transit this Saturday. Pleasuretown is back again with The Rub moving to the main stage for the It's The Motherfuckin Remix CD release party. If you weren't at the last one you definitely missed out as The Rub! was voted best party in NYC by the Village Voice 2005. In the basement we'll be rockin the jamz with the Youth Fantasy Suicide CD release party for the Town Jewelerz along with Tommie Sunshine one of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Just got back from another awesome Friday night with Family Affair from PaperStreet. Low Budget was dropping the sick tunes with girls gettin crazy on the dance floor. Marathon on 20th is one of my favorite spots in the city. With all the good, bad and ugly goings on the past couple weeks its great to see that its going to be absolutely crazy around here. Saturdays at Wax Bar are the spot with Mental Sharp. Thursday is the LTJ Bukem jump off at Emerald City . [...]

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.

Uh, just so everyone knows, Wax Bar is designed to look like hell. When you come in, on your right there will be red boiling pits of lava, and flickering white lights, signaling that you've reached the most evil of nighttime dwellings. You will be approached by dark figures scowling and grinning, jerking in inhuman bodily motions, stomping your feet as they pass. A demon with no eyes towers above all, ripping open your soul with low frequency amplifiers. Then the devil asks you what you want. "To be forgiven for all of my [...]

There's an ugly logistical question of the night: How do you lure in and catch this attractive female without acquiring the wrath of her hideous friend? No question, there is definitely danger involved. I for one am not about to risk my arm getting gnawed off at the shoulder for a chance at a phone number or some other instrumental prize. Leave that for the desperate drunk guy who doesn't know the peril he's facing and can't feel his arms anyways. He won't miss them.

Two breasts curving inward - the feminine equivalent of planetary suction. We're having a conversation so my eyeballs are orbiting past jeans stretched over tight thighs and the reflective glean of her smile, trying not to get pulled into the collision of her flesh and v-neck shirt. That's not how we do things on this planet; there are rules, procedures that must be followed. But it's not working, and as my eyes drift down her neck and my stomach tears apart with anticipation I feel as though this complete violation of social boundaries is almost [...]

Mississippi Love was crazy on Sunday. Last count I heard, there was over $4,000 raised. SimpleFly , Winged Lion Pride and friends put on an amazing party. Then Monday Mylo destroyed Rock&Roll at Fluid. Shout out to PaperStreet for bringing in a premiere producer/DJ for absolutely free.

I can't believe how crazy this weekend is going to be. Absolutely insane! Saturday is Pleasure Town with Tommie Sunshine and The Rub from NYC . Sunday is the closing party for Love week at Tragos, Hollertronix (Diplo & Low Budget) will be doing their thing with a special Mississippi crunk set, Mental Sharp will be performing live with MCSquared and more. Then Monday Mylo will be tearing up Fluid. Wow, I can't believe it. I wish I didn't have to get up so early [...]

Furious murderous fantasies well up inside shaking fists. Can you imagine how good it would feel to take out physical aggression on this beast of man? He is a fucking bastard. We were supposed to play pool with our friends, and you ruined everything. Probably some engineer, probably some worthless lowlife technician who holds on to the rules because it's the only thing he has left. Oh sure, you put your quarters down for pool, but you didn't say anything. Probably because you're an anti-human sociopath. We actually said the words, "Our friends [...]

At the bar you will meet many cute girls but in the end be torn away from them by strangers posing as boyfriends. I had managed to get back into the bar, which was necessary because I had traded my license for a que ball, and forgotten to trade it back. For a bouncer it could be a difficult proposition: I've got to get in, because my ID is in there and.. No, I don't have an ID, its in.. What? But how can I.. Alright fuck you. But with good fortune, [...]

we are little brother. we will monitor police activities with extreme scrutiny and mild distaste. you can not escape us. because we live here. "taking pictures of police" [audio]

Bar fights are kind of over played. I have a sneaking suspicion that anyone who participates in slurred stumbling fighting is actually faking it to get on camera. I suspect this for a few reasons. Number 1: There is a security camera in the pool room downstairs where you can pretend you’re beating up people with your pool stick and concerned faces will rush down with question marks and syringes to try and coerce you into leaving calmly and quietly. Number 2: If you tell cute girls to watch beforehand, they might actually [...]

"Hi, we're film makers. Industrious young artists. Will you pose for our picture? You know you really can go places in this world. I for example, am a publisher, and this is my associate. He's a doctor. It is a shame, but we are all out of business cards, something about a ink shortage in Switzerland. This just won't do. You see we run a website. Oh yes, that website. Please, no. Oh you really don't have to say that. That's very kind of you. Really though, we're just two normal -Yes those are very nice." [...]
