Make a Rising was excellent. The lead guy was wearing a wolf cowl.

Or some sort of furry animal cowl, at least. It was unclear.

One of my bandmates has moved to Philly and is encouraging a band-wide move to the City That Loves You Back.

More importantly, ben, how did you earn the honor of holding the mic for balloon man? Because that's so obviously you.

That wasn't just his mic I was holding.

Sorry ben, all the cool kids moved to Philly in 2001-2. This migration you're seeing is just the last element of the pre-gentrification forces capitalizing on that pioneering spirit.

forthcoming soon!

"Forthcoming" means "about to happen soon."

5: that's me! Since Emily lives in Philly I'm there about every other weekend. The city is fantastic: excellent, inexpensive drinking and dining options, great music and a lot of interesting places to go. The downsides is that it's full of Eagles fans, whose specific team allegiance is only a very small part of their overall objectionableness.

West Philadelphia and the less hospitable parts of Fishtown seem particularly full of filthy and talented young artists. I saw Stanley play there! Although he's not actually filthy, just maybe a little wildly-bearded.

I appreciate the endorsement, Tom. It's a distinction lost on so many people.

My band made loose arrangements to play with them in Philly some time in the near future—perhaps as part of our forthcoming soon world tour which will take us up the East Coast and maybe, maybe, over to Chicago!

It's about to happen soon, soon. That means it's a little further away than just plain old soon.

Duh, gonerill.

People really need to read excerpts from Wright's sermon.

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three strike law and then wants us to sing God Bless America. Naw, naw, naw. Not God Bless America. God Damn America! That's in the Bible. For killing innocent people. God Damn America for treating us citizens as less than human. God Damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and she is Supreme...Tell your neighbor he's (going to) help us one last time. Turn back and say forgive him for the God Damn, that's in the Bible though. Blessings and curses is in the Bible. It's in the Bible."

God, context is so important.
