Went in ti Center City today to pick up my race pack for Broad Street, tomorrow. Ran in to Reading Terminal Market since I parked right there....intended to just grab some fish for tonight and left either a bonus pork from DaNics and some cookies. Been too long since I've been. Was not crowded, at all. Kinda strange, but also cool to be in and out in less than 20 mins.
Was the convention center a shit show? I went yesterday and when I think "convention center" I think 11th and Arch. When I got down there they said head to Broad Street. I actually never realized the convention center even went up to Broad, just massive.
Good luck tomorrow!

Nah, I was kinda bummed I wasn't there right at 9 as I had other shit to do, but it wasn't crowded at all
I've been to shows there but also didn't realize it went all of the way up there.

You are running tomorrow? Good luck!
Good luck, gents. I’ll be out and about. Beers on me if I see you!

How'd you make out, JP? So many fucking idiots out on the course, for sure slowed things down and frustrated me. Biggest one were the nitwit who jogged together at 3-4 across like it was every Sunday run they take together. On the flip side, there were (as always) some great signs. My favorite was held by a wife next door looking lady at mile 7. "Only 3 miles left. Don't shit in the street" She loved the laugh she got out of me as I ran past her. Good advice.

1:43, which is more than fine for me. Felt good by the end, though legs started to lock up a bit at 8.5. Will aim for 1:25 next year. It was a good run, beautiful day, definitely plenty of people out there taking up way too much street. The construction just north of City Hall halved the street which is where people decided to just walk. Haha I went past that lady with that sign. Best sign I saw said, "You've already put in more work than Ben Simmons as a Sixer."
Hoping Navy Yard is ready to go next year because this setup at the end stunk. It took like 40 minutes to go from finish line, to food tent, to out the exit they funneled people to, to then get out back to the parking lot.
How bout you?

Nice, sounds Iike a good time was had. I took about 45 mins to exit, walk back to Wells Fargo Center, and drive back to Cherry Hill. In/out was stellar for me..the express orange line up in the AM was a snap. I did note that the thing NOT to do would be to take the Orange up from center city. I saw people jammed into one of those trains like us fools leaving Wrigley in 2013. It looked awful. So glad I got the express.
I did well, beat what my goal was, which was to be under 1h30. 1h 26. I know I could've been faster, which is fun. Some races I know there was no way I could have done better. I'm fine with being a slow and steady runner, but it is fun to at least get a little faster.
Yeah....same experience around City Hall, that was the worst, other than perhaps the last half mile as I increased speed and so many people were out of gas and going slowly.
I didn't see that Sixers sign....that is pretty good.
Was a good day. Enjoyed it and wife had fun running. Hung out and broad and dickenson for a while then headed down to meet some friends and tailgated for a little while. Had lunch at the Jose Pistolas spot in Passyunk. Good day. Beautiful weather

Nice, I figured she would be going based on what you've shared. It was not warm at 6 am but sure was beautiful this afternoon.
so is this a top five loss in Phillies history. At least the postgame show thought so.

Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
EDIT: In the terms of the probability of winning up by 7 runs in the 9th. In the context of "importance" I'd say less so. But certainly still wayyy up there.

maybe in recent memory yes. I went to bed after it was 7-3 (I had to be up at like 4am for work) and when i saw my phone notifications i was pretty stunned to say the least.
I do remember the Phills doing the same thing a few times in the past 20 years or so. This one did hurt but luckily it was still early in the season and hopefully they bounce back and win the next three.

Well that setlist last night is one I can absolutely live with.
yeah it was kinda meh.
Phills looked great. Might have been their best overall game so far this season.
What was meh? You more of a Lightning Bolt kinda guy?
no i prefer gigaton more than LB. They didn't play anything off avocado, Riot act or Binaural. And the songs they did play off the other albums seemed more of the fan favorites.

I like the sheer forwardness of some of the spots: Wash>GTF>Small Town>Corduroy>Quick Escape>Why Go>Wolfmoon and Smile>Eruption>DTE>Better Man>Leaving Here are great set ups.
Looks like they're either a) backing off 30+ song sets going forward/cutting back on covers b) settling into the 24ish song set. I guess more time will tell and they're figuring out the new album into the set. Also, this is the way it's going to be anyway - every time they add a new album to tour they're going to push out more obscure stuff from less popular albums. There's only so much real estate. Which does certainly suck at the same time.
I'd say of the 4 shows so far I'd say Glendale and LA2 are #1 and #2.

Less is more when it comes to Gigaton, for me. That stated, I will hope they change my mind with the live presentations.
Went back and looked....agree that this is the set I like the most, thus far. Alright and Sleeping By Myslef are boring but they need to play some slow ones, I get it.
