Recently I attended Biketoberfest sponsored by the Philadelphia Bicycle Coalition and held at Dock Street Brewery
Biketoberfest is an annual fundraiser for the Bike Coalition and features beers, brats, bikes and bands.
Halloween in West Philadelphia 2009
Every year in my neighborhood we have a Halloween parade for small children that starts at 4pm. This is so the can safely trick or treat along a set route before it gets dark.
We’ve been doing this for 7 years and we keep saying it will be Alex’s last year because she is getting older but we just don’t want to miss it.
Random Musical Encounters in Philadelphia
I don’t go out too much but have been exploring the city a little more than I usually do. Somehow I have accidentally come upon two local bands that I really liked and had no idea would be playing when I stopped at a couple of different parks.
It’s made me want to pay more attention to free local music but I have a feeling that it’s one of those serendipity types of things – when you find something that you weren’t looking for. If I start searching for free and cool local music, I won’t find it.
