My friends Sandy, April and I visited for Fort Mifflin one Saturday in August. I took a few snapshots, mostly of airplanes landing at Philadelphia International Airport.

Can’t really tell what’s spurring it, but my photo “UART Tat Girl” is getting a lot of hits today. Also, a commenter told me her handle is “Ally Crow”

Today I’m going to the 3rd Annual Roots Picnic at Festival Pier on Penn’s Landing (Philadelphia, PA).
Starring The Roots, Vampire Weekend, Clipse, Mayer Hawthorne & The Country, The Very Best, Nneka, Jay Electronica, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Das Racist, The Foreign Exchange, Bajah and the Dry Eye Crew, Pattern Is Movement, Money Making Jam Boyz, and a special appearance by John Legend
Featuring a special performance by Wu Massacre featuring Ghostface Killah, Method Man, & Raekwon backed by The Roots.
I wanted to attend for the past two years but ticket prices or prior engagements have kept me sidelined. Hearing about it from all of my friends, I knew that I had to make it their at least once. Well, today is that day. I’m going to this concert of epic proportion, courtesy of Okayplayer.com who hosted a contest for tickets AND I WON!
I’m hoping to sneak one or two cameras in there (alas, no press credentials) so I can bring back some funky, fresh memories.
Shout out to Tayyib, shamz & team OKP, Ahmir Thompson and THE ROOTS!

Security stopped me at Penn’s Landing “Art Star Bazaar,” pointed at my camera and asked, “What agency are you photographing for?”
…as I walk in muttering, “WTF was the point?”

It’s not so bad during the day either but, I’m quite fond of The Piazza at Schmdit’s at night.
If you haven’t spent a clear night in The Piazza at Schmidts you may be missing out on something. Especially with the live music, sporting events on the jumbo screen, galleries, restaurants and bars, and a great community of people.

To me, this photo epitomizes this past Saturday’s “BURGERDELPHIA 2010” burger eating competition at PYT Philly
The BURGERDELPHIA burger eating contest took place Saturday May 1st, 2010 on stage at the Piazza at Schmidt’s. The competition was to see how many PYT Burgers can be consumed in 10 minutes. There were 10 contestants and 1st place received a big PYT BURGERDELPHIA trophy, $250 cash & a $100 PYT gift certificate.

The massive, burger loving, photo mural on the wall at PYT. This is in the alcove off of the main bar where sometimes they have additional, indoor dining room seating or added party space.

The mens bathroom at Tattooed Mom’s in Philadelphia. I wish I had a wider angle lens to capture the scale of graffiti and stickers in this room but this will have to do for now.
When you see it, you will shit bricks. Like I did.
