ICEPACK ILLUSTRATED: Erika Schiff, Vick, Joe Piscopo, Bradley Cooper and the mysterious Mr. Lee

The electrical inspection is finished, the health inspection is next and the mysterious “Mr. Lee” called me to say he’s got a Twitter account at @Hopsinglaundry. Now if Lee will only open that laundromat.

The last time we saw Erika Schiff was at a screening of the I Married a Mobster television episode she starred in, in some Soho NYC nightclub, and a bunch of the Mob Wives were in tow. This Saturday it’s her birthday, she’s screening it again at Rogues Gallery on South 21st and all she’ll get is Schoolly D spinning the gig. Hah! Maybe a Mob Wife will show. Rogues co-owner and old pal David Carroll (who recently hosted his buddy, ex-police chief John Timoney at the Gallery) will host the bash.

Take a run at the Palm Restaurant when you get a chance and look at the wall of fame and caricature. I didn’t realize this before but the Philly Style cover image of Nicole Miller is right by the drawing of Philadelphia mag boss Herb Lipson. Oops.

This weekend, South Street’s annual Running of the Punks is two days long with a concert thingie at Dobbs Oct. 7 with old people Bunnydrums, Dixy Blood, Pure Hell and the Prisoners as well as a cocktail mixer at Tatooed Mom’s on Oct. 8.

When Playloop’s Justin Paul does his Trentemøller show on Oct. 13 at TLA, congratulate him for getting his production/label’s release of The Model’s "I Won't Be Hanging Out Anymore" placed on a Virgin Airlines commercial. Then ask him where PEX’s big Halloween party is going to be. I hear it’s a secret battleship down on the Delaware.

Foobooz is reporting that its Aaron Bellizzi, a CIA grad, now running one of my fave spaces, M Restaurant at Morris House, and not the recently departed (but not dead) Michael Caspi. Thanks.

WHOWHATWHERE: Caught up with DesignPhiladelphia maven Hilary Jay at the Art Alliance’s opening of the Miss Rockaway Armada show over the weekend. She seems delighted that her own arts-and-grahic fair is starting Oct. 13 and urges all to hit DesignPhiladelphia.org for the dirty details. I told you Joe Piscopo would be teaching a Temple University School Of Communications class that’s usually taught by Donna Benner and we caught him doing it. Piscopo’s a great guy and we’re due to speak with him soon about his upcoming involvement with Rawlins’ baseballs. Sela Ward from CSI hit the Franklin Institute for its just-opened CSI exhibit the other day. Boston’s favorite son Donnie Wahlberg greeted the crowds at McFadden's 10th anniversary. That was kind of sad. Father and son Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez screened their new movie The Way in Bensalem which was fine but did a meet-and-greet at a Walmart before hand. That was kind of sadder. Julia Stiles (playing Jennifer Lawrence’s older sister) and annoying comic Chris Tucker will report to the multi-suburban-Philly locations of David O. Russell’s The Silver Linings Playbook starring Bradley Cooper that starts its shoot in the next week. Cooper meanwhile ate a D'Angelo's in Rit Square with several of the film's folk. Financier Michael Miliken and baseballer Tommy Lasorda were at the Union League the other night for the Prostate Cancer Foundation (Milken's organization) event, chaired by Neal Rodin, Clay Hamlin and Danny Govberg.
