Philadelphia News and Views YOU Write - Urbi et Orbi

We're Also On Your Mom's To-Do List

Quick, I'm thinking of a word that starts with "A" and ends with "A". Nope, not aureola. Good guess, but try again. If you need...no, not asthma, either. Look, if you need a hint, just flip open this week's freshy fresh issue of Philadelphia City Paper. You're looking for a particular section...yes. The Agenda! Tucked neatly in amidst write-ups for Ben Franklin Bridge walking tours and teapot jewelry, you'll spot this little nugget "On The DL"...

________
The essential ingredients to a killer party haven't evolved much over the years. With bowling, Nirvana tunes and cheap eats, the second incarnation of Mission 300 is taking it back to the '95 birthday circuit.

Hosted by Philabuster and SkinnySlim of local pop-culture blog badmintonstamps.com, this will not be your posh Center City bowling bash. The kitschy night includes all-you-can-eat soft pretzels, a dance floor and air hockey — all at St. Monica's Church. The necessarily funky soundtrack will be provided by DJs Oh!Murder and InMy Pants. "Sometimes that means indie bangers like New Young Pony Club or !!!," says Philabuster. "Sometimes it means a block of classic '90s hip-hop, and sometimes it means a slick electro-grind remix of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit.'"

We'll bowl to that.

Did you hear that? That's the sound a spot makes when it blows da fuck up. And you don't even have tickets yet? Well, that's an easy problem to fix. Just click on over to the party page and get yourself connected, pronto. I mean, first the White Stripes rip us off, and now this? DL, shmee-L. Everybody's comin, baby!
