    Default 20 years of First Friday

    As I went through my Philadelphia email I was just sent this story about First Friday. For some reason I can't get myself to read it but maybe someone is interested in it

    Well, not really. A couple cast "silver pieces", and a photo (?) of the infamous diamond studded skull. (which reminds me of the mass-market stuff the Salvador Dali Museum would sell as "Dali"s, just bigger and more-$-er) And, I don't think there was quite a line waiting to get in.

    The article did kinda get right the early history, which would have been worthy of more in-depth-ness.

    Yep, it was a good night! Ran into another Philly Speaks member at the random grill party at 3rd/Cherry too.

    you have quite a few such run-ins, don't you?! hehe


    I too was there for that edition of First Friday, and yes, it was crowded. I think it was one of the best "Philly" experiences I've had and wished I had some out-of-towers visiting me that weekend, because they would have been blown away by how fun the scene was and so many people of all ages and backgrounds were there.
