Gary Vaynerchuk and Philly's own Brian Freedman Compete in Food and Wine Pairing
Submitted by cwGuym on July 8, 2008 - 4:00pm.Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV and Brian Freedman of Classic Wines TV recently clashed in a contest of food and wine pairing skills. Hosted by The Wine School of Philadelphia, these two popular online personalities met in good-natured competition and wowed spectators with their competence and charisma.
Keith Wallace, founder and owner of The Wine School of Philadelphia, hosted the event. His plan was to create a high profile ‘Sommelier Smackdown,’ wherein the two wine professionals paired a four-course meal with the most appropriate wines they could find in a certain price range. The bottle selections were hidden from a team of dining judges, and both men had a chance to explain their choices during each portion of the meal. The judges scored each selection and declared a winner at the end of the final round.
Brian Freedman, one of Philadelphia’s most popular wine personalities, was a veteran of Smackdown events, while Gary Vaynerchuk, host of the Internet’s most popular wine video series, was no stranger to competition either. When asked how he secured the notoriously busy Vaynerchuk for the showdown, Wallace simply stated: “Getting Gary to join up was easy, I just emailed him. He's a busy guy, but he's got moxy. I knew he couldn't pass up a chance for an old-fashioned brawl.”

I saw Eddie Money in concert 07-02-08 at The Alameda County Fair. Eddie Money, his band, and his daughter did a great job. His roots are from the bay area and he expressed his appreciation by saying to the audience "I love you" quite a few times. I used to live up the street from Eddie Money and I was given the opportunity to give him a signed autographed copy of my book, White Male Privilege. I also thank Eddie Money for bringing attention and honor to our armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Beautiful Kemp Square
Submitted by marlll on July 2, 2008 - 2:59am.The Siena during the day, will show the hard rock feel, old carved on the details of ancient walls and Shing Mun, the sun, the warm house and the stone Lengleng dialogue with the desire of a small wall Jiazhi Xiang Li, at the foot of the black gravel to towns such as streams, like the bottom of the mystery - the beautiful Kemp Square THE PIAZZA DEL CAMPO. The scallop-shaped square in the centre of town and the lowest point, with ancient Roman theater, like the natural topography, scallop-shaped square with a beautiful cafe, a classical balcony of the family boarding houses, she sold in the shops and things The medieval palace. Kemp Square because of the PALIO twice a year the General Assembly held in the race known. 7-8 every year, the people here for the gun in the glory of the military and become Italy's most famous traditional festivals. Dressed in colorful costumes of medieval procession followed by nude horse racing, fanaticism of the crowd reached the apex of excitement.
Today, not a festive summer, the square is home to the pigeons droves to live in the City Hall Plaza, the largest long-term abandoned buildings on the Qiangduo. Under the sun, Belfry in the square of the shadow cast slender, like the corona, like moving slowly to the ground. Even in Chunhanliaoqiao, there are still many tourists sitting in the open-air plaza coffee chair, the United States and the United States in the sun.
Siena not the Old City, two hours on the city's streets each end. But there are still many people are willing to stay on this day, week, month. I like the present, when you square in Campo Grande, pick a good position to sit down, the sun drying the Italian sun, drink a cup of MACHIATO, Man is also here to see the local people. Air Weiliang, boundless landscape, and lovers stroll in the square, street artists Dan Zhao Liu Xianqin, beautiful vibrato, as if the green leaves across the Jiese movie float glass windows.

Great Inexpensive Vacation Get Away!
Submitted by Kristen on July 1, 2008 - 11:17am.I want to share with everyone the wonderful weekend vacation I have planned for the 4ht of July! I, like most of you I'm assuming, feel like the price of gas has placed a limit on my vacation opportunities.
Well, I'm not happy about it, so I did some research and I found a way to vacation without giving my money to gas conglomerates! This weekend I'm going to Philadelphia Premium Outlets!! I'm staying at the Comfort Inn and because it's teamed up with PPO I get a $25 gift card to the outlets! So the first 25 dollars I spend is completely on the outlets!
PPO is about 45 minutes northwest of Philadelphia so it's really close and it won't cost me a lot to get there. They have extended hours and additional savings for the holiday!! They already offer 25-65% off designer clothes and bags so I'm going to get great deals this weekend. They have about 150 stores so it's perfect that I'm giving myself the entire weekend to veg out at the hotel and shop at my own pace. It's going to feel so good to spend my money on things I can have for the next 5 years rather than spend my money on a plan trip far away.
On Saturday and Sunday PPO has entertainment in food court area. They have classic rock and oldies and they are featuring an acoustic guitar player and vocalist. I'm going to hear live music while I spend my money wisely this weekend! I'm so excited to celebrate the holiday and I'm not going to feel an ounce of guilt about it! Sorry, I coudn't resist the chance to tell everyone about this. If you don't decide to follow me have a great 4th of July!
