ICEPACK ILLUSTRATED: Yo, Yo La Tengo. Hey, fashionistas. Whoa, Honey Boo Boo Child. Put down the knife, Tony Luke Jr.
If you want Honey Boo Boo Child to endorse your product, just send her something. That's what the guys at Philly's Breaking Glass Pictures, Rich Wolff and Justin Cook did. Since the film distributor was releasing its first children's DVD, After the Wizard, this week they sent a copy to the hotter-than-cornpone reality television star pronto and she just held the damned thing up.

How great is the Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing? Good enough to hold rock crits Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot (hosts of NPR’s Sound Opinions) a Maker’s Mark tasting and a Yo La Tengo show (the last thing on Sunday) during the second annual WHYY Connections Festival Sept. 6–9. The receptions and booze tastings are for WHYY members only but the YLT show on Sept. 8 is free and for the locals. Tell them you watch Downton Abbey and you’ll fit in just fine. And listen up for live stuff from Andrew Lipke, Charlie Gracie, The Lawsuits, Fabian Akilles and Chicago’s Maps and Atlas throughout the WHYYeekend.
LOOKOUT! TONY LUKE JR.’s GOT A KNIFE! OK, the sous vide cheesesteak king (aka The Nail) isn’t just wildly brandishing a weapon. He’s got his own signature knife made by ErgoChef with a 7” serrated blade that he’s selling in da neighborhood (Fante’s) and uptown (Kitchen Kapers) amongst other spaces.
While the worldwide Fashion’s Night Out celebrates its fourth anniversary with pretty parties hosting editors, models and designers on Sept. 6 (Joan Shepp on Walnut Street and Knit Wit on Chestnut has Philly’s bash), Sept. 11 is the start of The Philadelphia Collection’s forward-fashion events. Beginning that night at the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Perleman Building, TPC2012 continues with events at Macy’s (with Pretty Little Liars star Janel Parrish and Philadelphia Fashion Incubator’s designers-in-residence) and Sept. 15’s Christian Siriano appearance at Le Meridien. Swellegant.

Since the film distributor was releasing its first children’s DVD, After the Wizard, this week they sent a copy to the hotter-than-cornpone reality television star pronto and she just held the damned thing up. Hmmm. Wolff had an even more interesting week when you consider that he took a business lunch with colorful Funkadelic leader George Clinton and his longtime manager at Continental Old City. Clinton had a portabella cheesesteak and the funk was had by all.
You might not think Nick Stuccio’s Live Arts Festival is hard up, what with everyone buying tickets. But he and his Fringies could actually use some cash what with that new center, to say nothing of all the cold and flu meds they’ll need to buy for its bare assed performers during this, the nudest of Live Arts’ years. So there’s the 2012 Audi FEASTIVAL Sept. 12, at Pier 9 (121 N. Columbus Blvd) hosted by Stephen Starr, Michael Solomonov and Audrey Claire Taichman.
Hey Spring Garden Street in front of Union Transfer: you’re getting the crew of Do No Harm to film there and the surrounding blocks on Sept. 10.
WHOWHATWHERE: Speaking of the Fringe, it might seem weird, what with everyone wanting them dead, that Jeff Coon and Ben Dibble, the subjects of The Empire team’s Jeff Coon and Ben Dibble Must Die, showed up for the premier of the black comedy at Plays & Players on Wednesday night. Very meta. Mayor Michael Nutter and Drake, right after their Made in America appearances, stopped in at the Blues Babe Foundation celebration at Union Transfer on Sunday night. After their Sunday night performance at Made in America, members of Pearl Jam — and I guess it’s only Eddie Vedder that people recognize anymore — showed up at Bruce Springsteen’s intimate Citizen Bank Ballpark showcase on Monday night as did comedian Artie Lange. Before the big holiday, dressy R&B sensation Dwele stopped at WDAS’s iHeart Radio Performance Theater in Bala for a blast of his new album.
