First of all, the video above is one I did for Philly Mag. I talked with Timaree of the excellent blog Sexwithtimaree.com about why 50 Shades of Grey is awful in every conceivable way. It’s a fun interview, very short, so give it a look even if you don’t care about the book.
A few other things you might dig:
The best pics of the Phillies old home field, the Baker Bowl. Here’s Part 1 and here’s Part 2. Some really incredible pics on there.
And we’re up over 300 followers on facebook and 470 followers on twitter. Thanks to everyone who has followed, and hope some more Philly sports fans follow. We’re doing some cool stuff on there.
GroJLart (not his real name) is a regular at one of our quizzes, and his blog Philaphilia has quickly become one of the most popular in the city. And with good reason. With the impeccable taste of Inga Saffron but the anger of Howard Beale, GroJLart slams any and everybody who has even torn down a historical building to put up a hideous piece of crap or, worse yet, a parking lot. And he rips selfish NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yarders) who oppose awesome design plans. But the site isn’t just unbridled fury. It’s also an incredible history of the architecture of our city, and he searches far and wide to provide awesome photographs of buildings no longer standing and designs for buildings that were never built. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of history, so it comes as no surprise that this is one of my favorite blogs in the city. If you’re a fan of this city and a fan of history, it’ll be one of your favorites too. Below is an interview he did with WHYY. If you recognize him, great, but don’t let the cat out of the bag. He prefers to remain anonymous and let his work speak for him. (Of course, the video went down as soon as I posted this. Should be back up soon, so check back. It’s a great interview.)
(PS If you play my quizzo fairly regularly and are working on something creative, whether it’s a blog, stageplay, art exhibit, etc. please let me know about it. I can be contacted at johnny@johnnygoodtimes.com. I’d love to help plug it on here. Thanks!)
That is correct folks, we’re headed back to the street of Baltimore this weekend. Last year’s quiz on the Wire was an instant classic, and this one promises to be great as well. It’s going down this Sunday at 8 p.m. at the Trestle Inn. Drink specials, great mac n cheese, great prizes, and plenty of questions about Omar, Bunk, and Bubbles. See ya there on Sunday!
Alright, let’s see how much you know about your native country tonight. If the first few quizzes this week are any indication, the answer is “Most of you should be deported” “not as much as you should.” Anyways, no bounty on for tonight since Steak already played and I’m too lazy to write new questions. So the bad news is, there is no bounty. The good news is, it’s wide slam open for a new winner at the Bards for the first time in months. Action starts there at 10:15 p.m. Before that, we kick off at the Ugly American at 8 p.m. $2 Lagers at UA. $2.50 Lager Lights at UA. See ya tonight!
