Hey peeps, got a last meeting with Traffic.com people this morning, then have a doctor’s appointment. So I’ll get some pics up later in the day. In the meantime, read the highlights of my cross country trip, all tied up in a tidy little bow.
I’m Back, B****!

I rolled into the illaldelph yesterday at about 3:30 p.m., then went to Delassandro’s for my first Philly meal, a cheesesteak. Not as good as Jim’s but still damn good. Then I headed to the Philadelphia Best Of… party last night. It was ok. They had a great band, the Blue Method, and some decent finger food. The scene was a little too sceney for me, but there was a lot of eye candy and I got to meet the Hurricane (Glen, not Ruben). Disaster didn’t strike until the end, when the valet service totally screwed everyting up. My date and I waited over an hour while they tried to find her car keys. There was an enormous line of people waiting, but the valets put the keys in the wrong order, and nobody could find anything. It wouldn’t have been so bad if the weather outside wasn’t 95 degrees, so everybody was covered in sweat. I will have to hand it to the valet service though. Although they totally screwed everything up, they did try to handle it with humor and didn’t let the thing explode, like it could have. Still, pretty inexcusable. I doubt they’re gonna be named Best Of Philly anytime soon. That’s like me forgetting to bring questions to Quizzo Bowl. Anyways, I’m more excited about tonight than I was about last night. Gonna be nice to rock the mic again.
Don’t Call It a Comeback
JGT is returning to the east coast on Wednesday after his three week cross country drive. On Wednesday night, he’ll be attending a “Welcome Back” party hosted by Philadelphia Magazine (some people who are “out of the loop” are calling it a “Best of Philly” party), then will be returning to action Thursday night at the Good Dog. Today, I’m just gonna hang in San Fran. Man, the weather here is incredible. Mid 60s every day. I’m sure you suffering souls wanted to hear that.
Question of the Week

I am unabashadly and unethically stealing my question of the week from Dan over at Blinq. On July 1, 1981, MTV played it’s first ever video, which was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the Buggles. What was the second song they played?
Hapy Birthday Trivia Art!

Hey gang, Trivia Art (right) Philly’s only true food and booze connoiseur (as well as part time quizzo host) turns, well, a year older today. Wish him a happy birthday on MySpace!
Hey, Whattya say we all switch back over to Friendster?
Dude, what the hell happened to MySpace? For like the last two weeks it has either filling computers with bugs or simply not working. My man Tom better get his act together, or things could turn ugly. I mean, usually, I wouldn’t really care. But keep in mind, MySpace is my only weapon in the war for Texas girl’s heart. I need you right freaking now, MySpace. Get it together!
Alright, I’ve got some good stuff to post after I get back and have a free freaking minute.
Johnny Named Best Of Philly

Philadelphia Magazine has always been one of my favorite magazines. There were rumors that I behaved like a petulant child when I was snubbed last year, but those rumors simply aren’t true. I want to thank Philadelphia Magazine for putting me in their best of edition, so that I can email the waitress I fell head over heels for in Texas (second from right) that I’m a winner-and I finally have proof.

Where Does The Ego From Here?

Johnny Goodtimes is named Best Quizzo Host in Philadelphia Magazine.
We expect to hear from Johnny Goodtimes himself, later this afternoon.
JGT, Under Pressure From Mom, Modifies Detroit Hookers Post
Yeah, got the following e-mail from my mom this morning: Your experience with the girls joining your table the other night was humorous. I thought it was beneath your dignity to actually call them whores. That word is degrading, rude, and mean-spirited. That’s not the johnny we all know and love.
My mom’s right. The talk on johnnygoodtimes.com shouldn’t be mean-spirited unless it’s coming from Bobby Badtimes. Therefore, I re-edited the post to sound a little less rough. I apologize if that post offended anyone other than the women who ran out on the check.
