Just to let everyone know, I will be heading down I-76 this weekend and spending some quality time with my friend Brian who lives in the city. I am so psyched to go. It seems like it has been forever since our last jaunt down to Philly for a visit. Last time we were down was when we went to the Flyers/Red Wings game last season. That would have been in January. Yikes. It HAS been a while.
Since then, much has happened; not the least of which was the untimely passing of Bri's cat, Murphy. The poor guy. Brian took it kinda rough, but has since been wrangled into adopting a new kitty. So, this visit's priority will be to see the new feline. Can't wait. I hear he's a cutie. Not much else is set in stone for the weekend, other than a trip to Chinatown for dinner. We have all been craving some Chinese food, and so, that will probably be Saturday. Friday night is a definite McCrossen's night. Good ol' "Tiger" Ed will be tending bar at McCrossen's Friday, and it is always nice to spend some time hanging in the neighborhood with all of the usual characters. McCrossen's Tavern, for those of you who may not be familiar with the establishment, is a wonderful bar/restaurant located at about 20th & Spring Garden in Philadelphia. Many a Guinness has been had at this place. It was also the spot where Steve Buscemi came in and sat down next to me and 3 of my friends at 1:00 am on a Saturday night. We were very drunk, and the only ones in the place, and my friend kept saying in a VERY loud, drunken whisper, "That's Mr. Pink! It's Mr. Pink! Guys! Look, it's Mr. Pink!" *sigh* Good times... Yup. I can't wait to spend the weekend again. *grin* |
