I was quoted for the first time in the Inquirer this week. Always looking for investors/partners if you have some extra dollars to invest - not up at Temple but other neighborhoods around Philadelphia. And while on the topic of real estate, I am still helping some people buy/sell homes..... listed this house in the Art Museum (740 N Judson) and had it under contract within a week.....Just sharing.
This weekend has some good outdoor festivals: http://bloktoberfestphilly.com/ and Chestnut Hill. Last Saturday was a good one - some photos if you missed it.
I have four free tickets to the orchestra tomorrow (SAT) night. Email me if you would like them. Or try to sign up for your own free tickets if they are still available.
Eagles thought of the week....should Vick own a dog? And anyone else notice the ex-Phillies having some big hits this week in the playoffs?
For my Justin Bieber or Phish fans out there, I thought this was interesting. When I was in California this summer seeing Phish, Bieber was at one of the shows. Bieber's current tour has multiple Phish song teases. For those interested, this article has the details.
For those thinking about ski season, they are making snow in Colorado......Some early season trips to Vermont if interested.
Lastly, I was invited to an event last week - the new piano bar at 15th and Locust. Just wanted to give them a shout out: http://duelpianobar.com/

17) Before the Bridge Festival
Sat., Oct. 13
Jersey gets a bad rap, but for us, it’s our magical, uncharted neighbor to the East, brimming with undiscovered treasures and discount shopping. The quaint town of Collingswood, in particular, has a long tradition of catering to artists and musicians with imported-record shops and a bumpin’ indie-rock scene. The Before the Bridge festival was set up to attest to just that, urging native Jersey folk to stay local and Philly folk to suck it up and cross the bridge. Beloved Philly acts Illinois, Sweatheart and Prowler will mix seamlessly with some of Jersey’s finest up-and-comers. Bring some extra cash to wander the vendor area for some local art and wares and literature about some great causes designed to keep up the Jersey steam. -Abigail Bruley 1-10pm. Haddon and Woodland avenues, Collingswood, N.J. beforethebridge.com
18) Planetarium on the Parkway Friday, 10/12/12
For one night, the Franklin Institute will join forces with Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, the internationally renowned artist behind the city’s current world-premiere public-art instillation Open Air, to present a once-in-a-lifetime interactive presentation. Since launching on Sept. 20, Open Air has used the voices of locals via the project’s website and iPhone app to manipulate 24 powerful robotic searchlights positioned along the Ben Franklin Parkway. For this event, Lozano-Hemmer will be temporarily switching the interface, giving complete control over to Derrick Pitts, the Franklin Institute’s chief astronomer. Using an iPad, Pitts will direct the lights and pinpoint constellations in the night sky, something that typically isn’t possible with outdoor astronomy events. While avid stargazers are welcome to bring their own telescopes, Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Astronomical Society will have two massive telescopes on hand should you want a better view. -N.F. 8:30pm. Free. Eakins Oval, 2600 Ben Franklin Pkwy. 215.546.7550. associationforpublicart.org

20) The Oatmeal
OCT 16th
The Oatmeal claims it firmly believes in truth, beauty and chest hair. We believe it is a hilarious, smart and delightfully weird web comic. To celebrate the release of his latest collection, How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You, creator/illustrator/coder Matthew Inman is bringing his weird brand of fun to Philly. The newest volume includes various illustrated guides to understanding felines, such as “6 ways to tell if your cat thinks it’s a mountain lion,” and a pull-out poster featuring a murderous cat. If you’re not already familiar with the Oatmeal, check out Inman’s previous best-seller 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth (And Other Useful Guides) or browse other hilarious titles on his website. Be warned, though: It’s more addictive than the cutest kitty videos. 6pm. Free. University of Pennsylvania Bookstore, 3601 Walnut St. 215.898.7595. upenn.edu
