For those who are reading this before Saturday night, I am looking for some good snow day bar crawl action. Reach out to me if you feel the itch. Will definitely be out in center city.
I just went to the doctor and I will be cleared to ski in 3 weeks. So, that leaves my spot open on our Vail trip next week. We need a MALE. Can you make it leaving Feb 11th? www.PhillyTrips.com
Getting closer to the cell phone decision. Does anyone that has a new phone that has no actual keypad unhappy? I am leaning towards one without one and am looking for some feedback.
This week was a bunch of firsts. I went to my first south Philly go-go joint The Dolphin, had my first visit at the cigar bar Mahoganey , went to my first event at South Philly Bar and Grill which is directly across from Pat and Gino’s, and attended my first Ultimate Networking Event. For those who are looking for a hard core business card exchange event, check out Ultimate’s next event March 9th.
For those people that sometimes break the law, here is some advice. When breaking the law, do not be breaking other laws which can get you noticed.
My buddy Kevin asked me for some help: Does anyone know of anyone that will give honest appraisal of art/ painting?
And I need to bring up this issue with the city and parking authority. For those that park in center city, you have seen the new system for paying the meter with a smart machine. Let me give an example of how either these machines are not so smart or the city is intentionally trying to screw us. You park in a 2 hour zone and it is 8:30PM. Parking is free after 10PM. So, you should pay for 90 minutes. But when you hit 'max time' on the meter, it charges you for 2 hours and not the 90 minutes which generates an additional $1 for the city. How come it does not know that max time in that situation should only be 90 minutes? In addition, for those who use a parking card through the parking authority, how come the cards are not rechargeable? Every time I need a new one, they send me a new card which is not very eco-friendly. They should have a system on their website or at the actual machines that allow for the card to be recharged - other cities have it.
And lastly, I have a friend who asked me to spread the word. She just listed 13 trinities in Queen Village starting at $250,000. Email me if you want details. – Mark
