Penn's Landing
Submitted by DelawareEstuary on September 17, 2008 - 2:08pm.
Philadelphians will have an opportunity to explore the city’s coastline by land and by sea on Saturday, September 20, in what will be a full day of festivities during Southeastern Pennsylvania Coast Day, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Walnut Plaza at Penn’s Landing.
Visitors on this last unofficial Saturday of summer will be welcomed at 20 or more tents offering free water-themed activities along with face painting, make-and-take crafts, music and more. They will also have an opportunity to get a “duck’s-eye” view of the Delaware River aboard a Ride the Ducks amphibious vehicle. It is all part of a free festival sponsored by the Philadelphia Water Department, Pennsylvania Coastal Zone Management Program, DuPont Clear into the Future, and the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.
“The Partnership is especially proud of the way this festival has taken off in recent years,” said Lisa Wool, program director at the PDE. “Not only do families have a great time, they also gain a new appreciation for Pennsylvania’s coastal waterways, including the tidal Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers.”
In the spirit of Coast Day, three neighboring institutions will be offering free or discounted programs to the public. The closest of these is the Independence Seaport Museum, which is offering reduced admission of just $5 per person on Saturday. A free shuttle bus will also be available to carry festival goers roundtrip from Walnut Plaza to two other riverside attractions.
The shuttle’s first stop is at the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center, an interactive museum that tells the story of the Schuylkill River and America’s first water utility. Incidentally, anglers are welcome to board the shuttle bus once they have finished competing in the PWD’s Philly Fun Fishing Fest from 7 a.m. to noon along the banks of the Schuylkill River.
The shuttle will also make stops at the American Philosophical Society Museum, where visitors can pick up a map before departing on a self-guided walking tour of Dock Creek. At one time, this tidal stream flowed right through the heart of Independence Mall, but it has since been forced underground by two centuries of development. For a limited time, however, Philadelphians can walk its original course thanks to sculptures and knowledgeable interpreters stationed at six locations, each of which features a different hands-on activity.

“We are not our government”
“We will make our government again”
OUR MISSION
To inspire young Americans to be a part of their political process. To help them understand that it is their government and they have a voice. That America began as and still is “We the people! By the people! For the people!” - Realize the best way to create positive change at home and abroad is to exercise your right to vote, speak out and make a difference.
The show, “Americans on the Mend”, is a non-partisan event to encourage young Americans support the democratic process and express their freedoms by voting and / or registering to vote. The show includes political speakers, bands and other talents from all genres. Sponsors such as “The Association of Diversity in Motor Sports”, “Rock the Vote”, and political candidates will have representatives delivering their message throughout the venues.
“Americans on the Mend”, founded by Griffin Stewart in Los Angeles, CA, is continuing to build momentum after completion of its tour though Los Angeles, Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and now has reached the political hotbed of Philadelphia. Griffin, a Philadelphia area native, is quoted; “voting is a choice that we make as individuals that connects us to our communities and to our country. It is our freedom to challenge our elected representatives to enact on the will of the people.” Griffin has spent the last few years developing the band Wildphyr which organized the show in Los Angeles to helped boost voter turnout for the Super Tuesday elections in California. Recent speakers at our events include Rev Michael Beckwith from the movie “The Secret” and Councilman Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles.
“Americans on the Mend” has been working with the campaigns to reach all Americans to help make a choice in this import historical election.

“DRIVING THE VOTE, BRIDGING THE GAP”
Association For Diversity in Motorsports promotes educating the youth in achieving professional opportunities in Motorsports.
(Greensboro, NC) -- The Association For Diversity In Motorsports (AFDIM) and Infinity Business Affiliates INC., will be traveling throughout the country to various Motorsports and political venues, registering new voters and educating various groups about the business/career opportunities and family entertainment found in Motorsports.
This 2008 “Driving The Vote, Bridging The Gap” voter awareness drive gives AFDIM, with the assistance of strategic Corporate sponsors, the chance to make Motorsports fans a “voice to be heard” on social issues as well as expands the opportunity to become Professionals in Motorsports, for a more diverse community of youth. In the media, we always hear about the “Soccer mom”. AFDIM and its partners now believe, it’s time for the “Motorsports Mom and Dad” to have a voice.
We will have “Driving The Vote, Bridging The Gap” booths at various Motorsports sponsored races. Also, as we travel across the country, we will have representatives from local/national civic and political groups, celebrities, corporations and media outlets appear in support of our drive. From NASCAR to Drifting, “We will be voters encouraging new voters to register until the deadline for the 2008 Presidential election. After the voter registration deadline we will be reminding people to vote in November”, said Wayne Clapp, Executive Director of AFDIM.
The “Driving The Vote, Bridging The Gap” voter registrations drive will not stop after the November 2008 Presidential election. This database of new politically active Motorsports fans and other individuals that pledge their support will be followed-up with electronically or by mail with our monthly newsletter highlighting racing news and whatever social issues our readers say are the most important to them. We will then inform the rest of the community on the issues of importance and how, together, we can lend our voice or letters to effect change.
Throughout the year we will be fundraising through concerts and fun entertainment racing events in order to lend a hand to our racing community. Through this effort we hope to bring the existing Motorsports family together and bring new Motorsports fans into our community; all the while, making sure that every voice is accounted for and heard.
We reach out to our corporate community for sponsorship and donations, for information in how to donate funds to our cause or to receive information on how to become a sponsors at one of many events that we will a part of such as Formula Drift, NASCAR, Indy cart, Formula 1, etc… Contact David Resendes, Director of Marketing, Executive Board of Directors AFDIM at info@one2infiniti.com.
The racing community consists of all types and varieties of individuals and corporations making up the fabric of the United States, yet when it comes to social issues, we are left behind. “It is now time to Bridge the Gap in Motorsports”, said Dave Resendes, President of Infinity Business Affiliates, INC.

Your eye is caught by a single color, RED. It is inescapable and compelling as senses are triggered and emotions aroused. When this color becomes the defining point of a relationship, one is caught up in whirlwind of seduction, passion, anger, romance and joy. Ultimately this color journey leads us to an empowering view of who we are and what is truly possible. Music and Motion Dance's new work RED, offers us an intimate look at relationships through the medium of movement, luscious visual imagery, differing human temperaments and undeniable beauty of self-discovery.

Tonight at The Great Plaza at Penn's Landing will be one of the showcase events of the Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, a showing of Cry-Baby by that crazy director, John Waters.
The screening starts at 9.15p [right about when it gets dark enough to show a projection at night these days], but there's a Drag King/Johnny Depp look-a-like contest at 8.45p beforehand. Admission is free and it's sure to be a hell of a time.
I'll most likely be heading over there tonight, but my buzzcut will prevent me from rocking a greaser 'do, but I'm sure others there will more than make up. Hopefully, the weather will hold up.
