Gone

Last week, I was working on some songs witha friend. Left his house in Downingtown and much to my surprise, my car was not where I left it. First, panic went through me. What criminal ring in Downingtown would steal my car on a cool Wednesday night. Then common sense arrived. I realized I couldn't park where I parked. Well, I guess I could, you just get towed.

Called the PD and they were quite helpful. Even offered suggestions on how to get it back that night. But that was nothing but a waste of time. The tow-truck driver was gone for the evening.

Too much cash, two rides and 12 hours later I was finally driving my car home. And the price of the tow was 10 times the cost of the ticket. Lesson learned -- I'm not going to Downingtown anymore.

Quiet Time

Haven't made a post here ina few days. Been fighting this cold/flu/sick thing for a few weeks and things just fell by the wayside. So I refer to an earlier post...scroll down...go see Adam & Dave's Bloodline Saturday night at The Note. And buy them drinks. You won't be disappointed.

Love These Guys

I'm not big on advertising shows at venues I'm not really affiliated with but Adam & Dave's Bloodline are great guys and have music that hasn't left the CD player in my car in quite a long time. Everyone should go check them out.They're playing at the Note on Nov. 8.

Comments

I have deleted my first comment here. I am in no way affiliated with anyone or anything political and I don't cover politics. This isn't the forum to push anyone's agenda. It's an open forum for anything else in Chester County or the region -- see a ghost? Tell me about it. Eat a taco? Share away. If it involves going to a polling place, stick it on someone else's blog. Yes, this is a newspaper and there are other outlets offered.

A Follow Up

So I mentioned before my friend's bike was stolen over the summer. Well, he saw it and stole it back. Score one for humanity or opportunism. Either way, bike thieves suck.

A Great Cause

For Jack : a Tribute To the Music of Christopher Tucker

On Friday October 17th, the collective music scene of Philadelphia
and Delaware will gather at the North Star Bar in Philadelphia to
remember the life and music of Christopher Tucker in benefit of his
son Jack Tucker. A $10 minimum donation will be requested at the
door, advance tickets are now available via
http://www.northstarbar.com and http://www.ticketweb.com, please note
that this event is for those 21 years of age and older only please.

The North Star Bar is located at 2639 Poplar Street in the Fairmont
neighborhood of Philadelphia and can be contacted at 215-787-0488 or
215-701-1121.

On Friday, July 25th Christopher Michael Tucker, lead singer of local
Philadelphia and Delaware based bands including The Verge, The
Situation, Meme, and Orphan Family, passed away. Christopher’s
death has left a void in the Philadelphia music scene, but more
importantly it has left his 5 year old son Jack, without a father. On
Friday October 17th six area bands will gather at the North Star in an
attempt to fill that musical void, and to raise money for the estate
of Christopher Tucker to directly benefit Chris’ only child,
Jack.

A special video will also be screened for the first time at the
event. Just a week before his passing, Chris recorded his last song
and created a video for it as well with local artist Nico. The video
was to be completed as a concept in two parts, however only the first
part was completed, that first part will be screened and will allow
fans of Chris to hear new music from Chris one more time.

There will also be a silent auction which will be organized by Girl
About Town, http://www.phillygirlabouttown.com, a local music blog
that frequently reviewed Chris’ music and was a close friend of
him personally as well. For information on the Silent Auction, and to
donate items, please contact Royce Epstein or Carly Marcoux, at

This event will be a joyful celebration of the life and music of
Christopher Tucker in benefit of his son Jack Tucker. Please join us
at the North Star Bar for this very special night.
