The Phillie’s performance last night was totally my fault. You see, I didn’t watch the game. I know, I know. I promise to never skip a game again and let the city down again. I’ve been feeling really tired the last few days (Could I Have Lupus?) and watched a movie at a friend’s house instead. I’ve learned from my mistake, however, and promise to never skip a game, even if it means listening to it on the radio, as I have in the past, or watching the stupid play by play flash animation on the mlb site.
But now that I have made this pledge, I may have to break it. Because it’s Mischief night / Halloween! There is so much happening right now. From the increasing numbers of bars and restaurants with Phillies specials, costume parties, and general revelry that comes from this intersection of celebratory events falling on a weekend. I missed giving you the parties that happened yesterday, Thursday (blame it on the fake lupus. Stupid government ad council making me think I have lupus, with their signs and radio ads and informative websites. Sorry, I’ve been listening to the radio a lot this week and am highly susceptible to suggestions.) So you’ve missed the Cantina Dos Segundos party, as well as the Salsalita Studio party.
TONIGHT: as you may imagine, there’s a lot going on. My number one¬† pick would be the Ladies of Mischief Night at the Devil’s Den (1148 S 11th St.) where during games they’re offering $1 certain brews. Sassy beer ladies, good beer, great bar? Count me in. Then perhaps I can finally get the name of the photographer whose work is currently hanging in the dining area. If you’re feeling more Phillies than fillies (groan) head to The Abbaye (where the Rowhouse Red is only $3 during the games. But I’ve always been more of a chill in a lively bar sort of gal than a get wasted and dance chick. (If you’re looking for say, a dj dance party, check Philebrity‘s listings for all of them going ons.)
But you may need to take it easy tonight, for the universe has aligned and Halloween is on a Saturday this year. A day we can be even more reckless and uninhibited than usual Halloweens. More listings to come.
So as some of you may be aware, tonight is a major sporting event for Philadelphia. This noble, dying sport known as The American Pastime has shone a light on our complex little city, and once again we just might shrug the chips off our collective shoulder and rise to what we know we are capable of; hard-earned elegant excellence.
