If you're irate, don't hesitate!!

Yesterday some crack head came into the bar to use the payphone to call his drug dealer,

"Man we're at such and such a corner you got to hurry up I got three guys with me."

I recognized the guy as the guy from South Street who's always trying to get me and my friend to give him money for a "train" to Ardmore. This guy's been stuck at 18th and south for months now with his car broke down and booted.

I look across the street and one of the guys with him is the guy I saw being arrested across from McGlincheys by two squad police cars with every cop having their gun pointed at him like two weeks ago. And the first guy is making this girl go through her purse looking for money as he's scamming her.

So I pick up my cell phone and call the cops. I tell them there's three guys on the corner waiting to buy drugs. They ask me to describe them and their like "Do you know what the car looks like" and I'm like "Uh no. But if you wait I'm sure it'll show up." So they tell me that they'll send somebody out.

AND they actually do! A nice big huge POLICE van shows up and of course the three scketchy guys are like "We're waiting for the bus"
So the cops like. "Yeah sure" So he stands there with them or something.

The view was being blocked by the van. And after about twenty minutes one of the guys gets thrown in the van, maybe they searched him or something and the other two are off down the street. Probably to hang out in front of my house

So then about fifteen minutes later on the south side of the street, there's this guy with his cell hanging out looking for and this could just be a guess folks his customers. He was there for like an hour.

So that and then check out robbynewwave's latest entry and see why I'm not hesitating to call 911 anymore. The police told the neighborhood people to call if you see scam artists or drug dealers operating just call it in.

I heart Philly cops!

Thanks for the Art!

Friday night we went to see The Waitstaff perform at the 5 spot. The show was hilarious and Thanksgiving themed. John Difelice's song at the end Thanks for Giving was exceptionally giggle worthy.

Saturday I worked from noon to 11:30 and hung out with some friends afterwards. Didn't feel that high energy for a Saturday night. Kind of tired...

Sunday, got slammed with flu-like symptoms - clammy and achey all over barely could even walk. I worked till 6 stocking up the bar and waiting on a couple of customers and then miraculously was saved by a co-worker and relieved to go home sick. I know I probably passed up a lot of money what with the Eagles game starting at 8 but there was no way I would have made it through the next four hours. And being busy and not being able to be cheerful is not my thing.

Spent the rest of the evening zonked out on the couch with some chicken soup and crackers. The real first food I've eaten in three days.

We were supposed to get a new kitten for the house but my beau couldn't find any at the two shelters and three pet stores he went to. He said at one store, there was some ASPCA kittens that had already been adopted that would have fit his "Scoobiness barometer" but they already had good homes to go to. Hopefully next Sunday he'll have better luck.

Tonight a friend and I will be attending Hotel Obligodo's performance of Dottie, tomorrow is a double shift and Wednesday is a totally official Phedrang's Day Off.

VIDEO GA GA

My video store Flicks Video To Go at 16th and Spruce suspiciously closed and their number no longer works. I stupidly through my last rental in the door slot without looking inside. So now I'm out my $50 cash deposit and the dvd I could of kept!

What's going on! How am I going to rent videos!!

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween. It's my favorite holiday. All weekend we celebrated it.
On Friday we had a great game of D & D.
Everyone died.
Twice.
On Saturday we went out to brunch at Ants Pants at 23rd and South and it was awesome.
We found out the liquor store at 26th and south is now a junk/thrift shop.
We went to the Army surplus store and got costumes together. Where we also met some of our party guest
We went to the bar and had great drinks.
My sweetie dressed as Richard Kimball The Fugitive decorated the house while I made hummus, spinach dip, halloween cookies, brownies, and finished some cleaning.
We then partied till 5 am where we somehow managed to kick the last guest out and get successfully into bed without hurting myself or anyone else.
Last night someone almost died at the bar. (well not really but God always looks out for little kids and drunks)
We went home and watched the rest of 13 Ghosts

Tonight, we're going have a nice homecooked dinner and maybe make some more of my horrible cookies and bring them to people at the bar. My friend and his fiance broke up recently so maybe we'll try to cheer hime up a little with our costumes...

Mineday

The weekend was great. Although for me, I really don't have a weekend as I work everyday.

But not this upcoming weekend. Oh no! I'm taking Saturday off from all jobs. I'm going to sit in my pajamas all day and watch cable. I'm going to read a newspaper and drink coffee and not even clean the house.

Because I have a D & D game Friday night and the house will have been cleaned for our guests. I'm really looking forward to Phedrang's Day Off. Who knows what crazy high jinks will happen. I'm celebrating my all time favorite holiday - HALLOWEEN!

I do know that a car won't be crashed because my ex husband crashed my car in North Philly like two years ago. So that's out. Maybe I can push a kid off a bike or something.

Anyway the last two shows of Sordid Lives went very well. Sold out. Cast party afterwards was very fun in a beautiful grown up house. And the funny part was it was 1/2 block from my sweetie's parent's house. Everyone was teasing him saying he should get trashed and wait till 4 in the morning and crash there.

We got back to town around midnight so that didn't happen and just hung out at the bar for a couple of drinks. The Eagle's game yesterday was funny and lucrative.

I do know that if anyone could pick up a Chestnut Hill Local paper for me that would be great, it has a picture of me in it and an article about the show I want to put in my collection. Thanks!

Caught Topless in Chestnut Hill

So I got to the theater last night and the cast was like "Hey you're famous!"
And I was all like what? And then they gave me a copy of this week's Chestnut Hill Local and turned it to the arts section. Which has a picture of me straddling a transvestite (played by my director) and topless.
The caption for the pic is so and so "..are talking about the weather.."
During our photo shoot the photographer took probably 300 pictures of the show.
I have one scene. I guess they took the most racy picture and ran with it for press.
I was kind of embarrassed at first but I do look pretty good in the picture, and am glad I've been working out...

So if you want to come see Sordid Lives at Allens Lane, tonight's our last show. It's been a blast and I'm sad for it to end. We've sold out I think every show. If this was downtown we could run it for months. It's hysterical.

I don't think tickets are available for tonight but their might be a waiting list you could get on.

I can't wait for the next show... whatever it may be. I got to peruse some auditions on the TAGP listserv - I just hope it'll be another comedy.
