Proving that Philly Future is truly the news YOU write, this edition features early submissions from PF members (I'll add a few random samplings of items that caught my attention a bit later). And if you have something on your blog you'd like featured, let me know. Or post it yourself. It is the news YOU write, afterall.
Going Japanese
Albert of Philly writes: "I passed by the Japanese House in Fairmount Park and saw that they're having a Japanese Summer Festival on Saturday from 2pm - 7pm."
Going Political
Albert of Dragonballyee writes: "And there's also the Philly for Change picnic over at FDR Park on Sunday from Noon - 4pm which I wrote about here."
Going Punk

Going Artistic
Matt of The Tattered Coat writes: "You're probably aware of this, but the The Manayunk Arts Festival takes place this Saturday and Sunday on Main Street."
The news you wrote is above (I'd bet there will be more next week). And now for the random sampling:
Going Floral
Ted of Vorlon Whispers is doing some Friday Flowerblogging. He says "the lilies are now coming on hot and heavy." Check out the tiger lily. Nice.
Going Wimpy
AlexG of A List of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago is in search of the perfect burger. He augments Alan Richman's GQ list. Head on over...he'd gladly pay you on Tuesday for a comment today.
Going All In
ACM of Just Between Strangers muses about poker going mainstream. I think I'll pass on the game between Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Britney Spears and Linsay Lohan. (There must be a joke in there somewhere.)
Going Swimming
Jessika of Jessika's Journal has some thoughts and startling statistics about summer swimming. If the 96 degree heat isn't beach and pool weather, then it'll never be here. Cue up Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.
