Friday October 30, 2009
-Wake up at 10am, take a shower and rub one out
-Walk to the R3 and pick up the 11am train to the city
-Get off at Market East/Gallery and walk to Eulogys (2nd and Chestnut)
-Drink a couple Belgiums, but not too many...it is a long day (Say hi to Dave the BT)
-2pm walk to Jim's Steaks (4th & South Street) and consume as much grease as humanly possible
-Head back to 2nd and Chestnut and sit outside at Rotton Ralph's for a few pints
-5pm walk to McGillians, oldest Pub in Philly (13th & Drury)....great wings and happy hour.
-7pm walk to the Broad Street line singing Pearl Jam tunes out loud for the 15 minute drive.
-7:30pm walk the parking lot giving high fives to complete strangers and loving every minute of it!
-8pm in the Spectrum and waiting anxiously....and then you hear what you have been waiting for 2 and half months


i see the world
feel the truth
which way to go
windowsill
i see the words
on a rocking horse of time
i see the birds in the rain
oh dear dad
can you see me now
i am myself
like you somehow
i'll ride the wave
where it takes me
i'll hold the pain
release me
oh dear dad
can you see me now
i am myself
like you somehow
i'll wait up in the dark
for you to speak to me
i'll open up
release me
release me
release me
release meE

    God damnit. Can we get someone who is grammatically correct to represent my city? Just God damnit...

    Me fail English? That's unpossible.

    well, yes. obviously, people won't read your post when your title's spelling is all jacked ...

    that said, I gave it a read .... this part ...
    -2pm walk to Jim's Steaks (4th & South Street) and consume as much grease as humanly possible
    -Head back to 2nd and Chestnut and sit outside at Rotton Ralph's for a few pints
    -5pm walk to McGillians, oldest Pub in Philly (13th & Drury)....great wings and happy hour.

    too much food in too short a time ... you'll probably end up spending half of the encore in the crapper.

    I'm guessing that you'll need to be in the Spectrum, BEFORE 8:00, especially if theres NO opening act.

    EXACTLY what i was thinking.
    please for the love of the Queen's English!
    this board UNDERLINES words you spell incorrectly.
    it doesn't take a rocket scientist to correctly spell and use semi-proper grammar.
    and no this pearl jam fan isn't an English teacher, but I am a well-educated individual and DAMN IT I have had enough!
    /long over due spelling and grammar rant
    carry on
    :D

    Typo aside, I liked the original intention of the post. I can only hope to have many days of such caliber.

    could be that you are correct. I use firefox, it's the preferred browser of people with spelling and grammar OCD
    :lol:
    did you know that with firefox you can highlight a passage that you type and right click and it gives you the option of spellcheck right below copy, cut, paste?
