Because we want to impress dates with more than just a complimentary meal swipe at Commons, Philly Diner now offers a new menu item that won't break the bank...and hopefully won't give you mad cow disease. PhiDi's new $10 steak will impress any carnivorous lady or manly man and is sure to earn you a second date. Its class might even make your date think, "Wow, this individual bought me a steak. Forget the second date. Let's just go to second base." Ah, new love. How meaty sweet it is.
Cult classic "Rocky Horror Picture Show" is all about sex, rock, and monsters. Head to Rodin Rooftop Lounge tonight at 10 p.m. to throw rice at the screen and scream "dammit, Janet" while supporting the Unite for Sight charity. The screening and food are both free and costumes are recommended. All we want is for someone to please dress like a sweet transvestite from transsexual University of Pennsylvania.
Because they tend to be socially inept, the enginerds are having their own food-filled Fall Fest today. Pretend Halloween came early and wear some nerdy attire to sneak into the first floor of Towne from 2:30-5 p.m. According to the Facebook event, there are promises of apple cider, treats, and "shmoozing". Though you may not be trying to pick up a date, perhaps you'll shmooze your way to a math tutor before the next midterm.
Remember those guys with the long band name? Our favorite wordy songsters, Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, will return to the Penn stage tomorrow night courtesy of Pilam. The boys take the stage at 9 p.m., along with several other bands, at 3914 Spruce. Tickets will run about $8-10. This is just many of the musical events going on tomorrow night so let's forget midterms and jam.
Anyone who has been out and about today has probably noticed people carrying around these mysterious purple boxes. They even led the bag check lady and Van Pelt to ask us, "What in the world are these and where can I get one?" For those of you who weren't lucky enough to receive these "free samples", don't lose any sleep over it. The website that is distributing them, ReadyU, gave us what is basically a box of free, err...feminine hygiene products. We're sure the homeless man carrying one down Walnut Street will be pleased.
A tipster sent us this pic of Ajia's menu, which sports a blatant disregard for proper grammar. The phrase "Customers cannot share with NONE "ALL U CAN EAT" Customers" not only has us scratching our heads in confusion, but also has us wondering if this even counts as a double negative. Grammar police, where you at?
For those of you who aren't in the know, The Line is an all night event held in the Palestra and it's the only way to become a season ticket holder for men's basketball. The famous Line kicks off (bounces off? shoots off?) on October 22nd at 9pm in the Palestra and it's your only chance to get season tickets. More info after the jump.
The Night Kite Revival is one of the most baller spoken word groups out there and they are coming to us tonight at 8pm in the second floor auditorium of Hillel, courtesy of Excelano Project.According to the Facebook event: With rotating fourth and fifth members, the three core talent are Derrick Brown (opening artist for Cold War Kids, The Flaming Lips, and comedian David Cross), Anis Mojgani (2-time Individual National Poetry Slam Champion; HBO's Def Poetry Jam), and Buddy Wakefield (2-time Individual World Poetry Slam Champion; on Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe Records). Tested and proven, these verbal acrobats join together each year for a national tour that undeniably charges the hearts and smiles of every audience it meets! Tickets are $7 and the kids of Excelano will be introducing their self-proclaimed "slam poetry idols". They even call them the "dream team of spoken word". How could anyone resist?
In light of the recent LGBT-related youth suicides that have occurred across the country, a vigil will be held on the steps of College Hall at 8pm. "Night to Live" will be happening tonight at over 25 other campuses nation-wide as students stand together in solidarity to remember those who have been tragically lost. Wear white and prepare for a potentially emotional but highly meaningful night.
We came upon this horrific sight while walking down 40th, in front of Qdoba. Either Halloween came early or the owner of this Jeep needs serious mental help. Regardless, we screamed very loudly when we saw this whole mask-in-the-drivers-seat thing.
We made the announcement a few weeks back that a new BBQ joint would be opening on 34th and Sansom. Baby Blues BBQ officially opens tonight in Bubble House's old spot and it looks really classy with its blue windows and fancy gold awning. The restaurant has several locations on the West Coast and it has finally graced us with its first presence in the beastly East.
As per The DP, the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll is back in action tonight from 5:30-8:30. You may remember this from a post we did way back in the summer about Baltimore Avenue's new mission to become a University City hot spot. And stuff really does only cost a dollar, from vinyl to beer to food to more beer. Go brave the rain, stroll down scenic Baltimore, and spend all those singles you randomly found in your pocket after a rough night out during Fall Break.
You may have seen this promotional poster around campus and chuckled to yourself. After all, nothing is better than Penn-sponsored innuendos. This particular poster is promoting flu vaccines, which will be offered in the ARCH building tomorrow from 11-3. The process of getting the vaccine only takes ten minutes (hence, "quickie") and you can pay to get pricked with Penn Insurance or bursar.
At least we think it's a GBM. Our inbox has been heavy with emails from the "Psychology and Social Media Club" and yet, we still don't know what it is. However, it appears that whomever is behind this listserv has some money to give away. They are offering $10 to every student who signs up at their meetings. Signs up for what, you ask? We have no idea. All we do know is that we hope it's a new Wharton Behavioral Lab free-money type deal. Also, they really like to use capital letters. Full email after the jump.
As most of you probably know, we are currently in the throes of MLB's postseason madness. What you may not know is that Distrito is giving out free cans of Tecate beer to every patron sitting in the Cantina! Each time the Phightin' Phils (yeah, did the ph thing, so what) hit a homer, there will be free beer for all. Plus, they have giant screens to watch the game. Just don't wear any team apparel that doesn't support Philly. Yankees fans, you've been warned.
While on our nightly stroll down Walnut we spotted something strange on 39th. What appeared at first to be a movie set of some sort turned out to be a fire safety demonstration. Disappointing, much? However, there was smoke over the Theta house (at least we think that was a part of the demonstration) and sirens blaring. If it weren't for the lecture going on about how to stay safe in a fire-related situation and the giant movie screen, we may have been concerned.
It is UTB's pleasure to bring you Waxing Judgmental, a website which was brought to our attention by a tipster. The creator must have some sort of inferiority complex (Drexel student?) because his site's purpose is to bash as many universities as possible. When it comes to Penn, he mostly burns Wharton which makes us feel content with our Arts and Sciences majors. Plus, everyone knows that hurting the egos of all the Whartonites is on the top of all our priority lists. Too bad the post and drawing aren't nearly as funny as we'd hoped.
Gawker.com reported on Newsweek's Top 10 Most Gay Friendly Schools, a list on which Penn reigns supreme. However, they take an especially entertaining look at the list and specify exactly what breed of "gay" should attend and the negatives associated with the school. We're a little upset that they called Philly boys nasty but as always, we love the shout out.
Word on the street is there's a new blog in town and it calls itself The DPenis. Its motto: "Like the DP, but worth reading!" After a thorough investigation of the site's contents, we have concluded that it is, indeed, quite the masterpiece. The mysterious creator of The DPenis takes editorial art from the actual DP, adds offensive commentary, sexual innuendos and other sophomoric jokes.
