greetings from Philly

i stumbled on this site looking for audio rips and i'm quite pleased so i figured i'd join!
I'm Ariel
& i'm from philadelphia

Anyone else catch them play at the Disgracedland in south philly at the end of may in 08?

That will always be my favorite time seeing those guys...

hey nice to have you here.

im on the opposite coast, didn't see the disgraceland show.

i snuck a peak at your profile. "drinkin whiskey" amen, youre my kinda girl.

awesome!! haha
i ran into Brian after the show back in march when they here in philly
i really appreciated the hour he spent away from the band and his cheesesteak to hang out and talk. solid dude. but i'm sure you know that

Hey Arial, hows it going? What other bands do you listen to?

Brian was having a steak huh? Did you ask him Pat's or Gino's? Speaking of which, I guess I'll ask in true Philly boy style, what's your preference?

I wanted to go to that show. Shit I even had tickets, but I was stuck up at State College with loads of work to do.

music - http://www.last.fm/user/arielwallace for a little bit of what i'm into

and as for cheesesteaks, 'wiz witout' but don't bother with pats or genos

i'd rather go for tony lukes or jim's steaks on south street.
there's way better places all over the city than that tourist trap (although the bright lights are half of the attraction)

It can be a pain. I've gotten in accidents at that damn intersection after Phils games. I'm right there with ya on the wiz witout. When I'm in town I work in schools all along Central to Northern Broad Street, and there's a small place by Broad and Louden called Alnur Pizza that makes a good steak. Getting nostalgia just thinking about it.

Kudos on your music. You go to a lot of shows? Paint It Black plays like all the time anymore. Dr. Dan is the man.

i actually haven't seen paint it black in a while, although my FAVORITE time was when they played on the sidewalk in the gayborhood outside of sailor jerrys
it was the first warm/nice day of spring in 08

Welcome to the forum Ariel, glad to have you here...

first off, what is "wiz witout"?

secondly, what kind of whiskey do you drink? I am a big fan of Johnnie Walker Gold/Blue and Green?

Since you said you came across us looking for rips I assume you have checked out out Audio section, but have you seen our Mixtape section? I got into so many new bands through that section.

@ arielwallace

welcome =)
i'm really jealous for you having spent an hour with brian and just talking to him guess that will never happen to me here in austria unless me moving to the states...

what exactly is a cheesesteak?

i love philly, i always went there when visiting my granny in jersey, i loved the athmosphere there. my favourite city in the us i've been to to date

hey grazer,

this is a cheesesteak

e7c, "wiz witout" means a cheesesteak with cheese wiz, without onions. It's supposed to be a "soup nazi" kind of situation... if you don't order the correct way and have your money ready at these places, the employees yell at you or send you to the back of the line. I remember the first time I went to Geno's I didn't know what was what, and the lady behind the window got real pissed.

I just got back in town, and that picture has me CRAVING. At Penn State, there's a place called EB's known for their Philly-style cheesesteaks. They even have the whole wiz/no wiz, wit/witout routine so I figured they knew what they were doing, even though everyone says the same redundant thing, "you can't get a good steak anywhere but Philly". Seriously had to be the most unsatisfying thing I've ever eaten.

Ariel, I heard you Temple folk have school til Wednesday... That really sucks. My group of friends is having a big party in West Chester on Tuesday and our Temple friends aren't gonna make it. I'm thinking of picking them up tonight and bringing them to Pat's.

@ ariel

don't know if i would eat it, even if i wasn't vegan

actually ryan my wednesday class is cancelled but i do have work & possibly have to work all day =/ i had a cheesesteak on campus earlier in the week. so good haha

now i just need some scrapple and i've got my fix

Well here's what you do... Work hard these next two days, wake up early Wednesday, get some scrapple and head up to Preston and Steve's Spanksgiving Day Parade. I'm trying to be part of that as the Flyers Greenman.

i mean my job work, i might have to go in early/be there all day haha
