And you totally need to go see Iron Man!
Britt and I both get in on Saturday AM around 10.
I am so jealous of everyone going Friday!!!
And yes - I want to see historical stuff!!!!
I think it’s awesome that you are going to see Ben.
How can one have a vegetarian cheese’steak’??? That’s like a quesadilla without cheese.
Wait, we’re going to Philly this weekend?
In all seriousness, I loved showing up here to find our new plans for the weekend after Kevin bailed on us. I’m all SQUEEEEE excited. You do realize you are the official organizer of events now for the entire blogosphere, right?
And, yay to being roommates!
And, HELL NO to veggie cheesesteak. That’s just ... NO.
I get in Friday around 5:30pm or so and will be settled in just in time for some dinner! I know that a bunch of us want to do dinner, so yay!
Ben Franklin would love for you to pay respects. He doesn’t get enough visitors.
Don’t forget to take LOTS of pictures!!!!
Avi- Iron Man is going to be Sunday night… I already have the tickets at my local theater. Even with Tequilacon… Can. Not. Miss. Iron. Man.
Britt- Cool!!! Just make sure that when you stand next to the big bell… touch it. Really… it’s okay… don’t mind the flashing lights, crashing gates, or those little red dots that appear all over your body. That’s gonna make a kick ass YouTube clip.
Turnbaby- Well… I imagine there’s some sort of tofu replacement… but that’s what taste tests are for.
Poppy- Well, I’m just trying to get an idea of what we’ll be doing for the “public” agenda. 
Hilly- Yes, food is a good thing!!! Especially in Philly… with the REAL Philly Cheesesteaks!!!
Mutt Royalty- Actually… everytime I go to Philly… I visit Ben. I find it amazing that one of our founding fathers is entombed literally about 10 feet from the street. You can see the stone through the gates from the sidewalk. He truly was an “everyday man” in both life… and death.

Mmmm...tequila. A topic I could rattle on for hours and hours about. Rey Sol is great, but the super premiums tend to start to mellow too much for my taste. I like the bite of a good reposado more so than an anejo, but don’t get me wrong...I never turn down a Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia or a Herradura Seleccion Suprema. Especially the last one. Quite the bargain at only $290-$350 a bottle.
Why does everyone feel like they have to keep reminding me to touch it?
It’s the fucking Liberty Bell.
Of COURSE I’m gonna touch it! Sheesh.
So what your saying, is that in a round-about way, Ole’ Ben invented Tequilacon? That guy was a amazing!
Of course you know his bi-focals were actually an instrument used to read invisible ink on the back of the Declaration, showing the location of the Freemasons’ treasure.
Hey, I get in tomorrow afternoon. I’ll be picking up Hilly at 5:30 but I’m sure we can all meet up for dinner. I’ll e-mail you my cell number.
I land about a quarter til 8 at night. So it might be a bit late for me to make dinner. Will there be any beer drinking after?
I’ve always been a fan of the Franklin, but I really never studied him as much as I’d like. Thanx for the reminder to do so…
I’m so jealous!!! The drama factor here right now is such that I’d have to climb out of a window AND find a way not to trigger motion detectors and alarms just to get out of the house. But for awhile I’ve been looking into places to go for a day, so thanks for a great daytrip idea for when this blows over! I’ll be waiting to find out what you thought of the tour.
B.E. Earl- You are obviously a man of exquisite Tequila taste… whereas I’ll usually just drink whatever is on the menu below the $5 shot range.
Miss Britt- Because there are certain expectations that must be met. You must end every sentence with, “Woo-hoo fuck yeah!”. You must smoke as loud as a freight train. You must touch the Liberty Bell (also known as Stan) and live to tell about it. Otherwise… well… you might be an alien or something.
Jake Titus- Mmmm… yeah Ben did… but he also Originated the Meme… which I think is a more important invention than Tequilacon. Tequilacon is good for maybe 2-3 months of posts… but Memes are forever.
PitS- Why yes I do! And that treasure will be mine… all mine!
Karl- Sounds like a plan!
Delmer- I honestly don’t know since it’s kind of just winging it… but I’ll e-mail you my cell # and when you get in throw me a call and I can let you know what’s going on… at least in my neck of Philly.
Whall- He really was an amazing man… from all aspects.
Girl, Dislocated- Well… you know if you ever wanted out… I’d break you out… although doing so I couldn’t guarantee everything would stay in socket… but yeah… Philly is a great city… and I’d go so far as to say I’d live there if I had to choose another city if New York got wiped by flood waters of an iceberg and I HAD to move to another city.

I’ll be there! Supposed to show up on Saturday but might have the opportunity to come in tonight.
