MAN CAVE: Eight punches in the face out of seven

Man Cave is a testosterone-laden Monday feature that highlights the weekend haps of an everyday, pop-culture-loving Philly dude.

Friday: La Salle Young Alumni Night at the Grape Room in Manayunk

The La Salle Young Alumni Committee raised $600 for La Sallian Service Trips — one of which is Project Appalachia, a program where students spend their Spring Break building homes for needy families in Kentucky.

Four bands and three solo acoustic acts made up of La Salle alumni performed. Taking the stage was Bathtub Doggies, Jason Ager and the COPO, Sheri Gallagher, The Matt Gauss Band, Science Club, Sam Fran Scavuzzo, Jim Feighan and Bill Drust (pictured). Everybody rocked, including emcees Matt Lally and Dave Teruso (a.k.a comedy duo Animosity Pierre).

Saturday: A wedding with surprise guests, The Mummers

Remember your freshman year college roommate? The one you get randomly and hope to have a lot in common with? On Saturday I went to Conshohocken to celebrate the wedding of my college roommate. Much to everybody's surprise and delight, The Rustic String Band crashed the party to play some classics like the Eagles fight song, "When The Saints Go Marching In," and other Philly anthems. It's not considered terribly manly to rate weddings, but I'll give this one "8 Punches in the Face!" (out of 7).

Sunday: Eagle Vs. Shark

I took a break from my alma mater with a dip in to my Netflix queue, firing up Eagle Vs. Shark starring Jermaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords (the tall, funny-looking one). Eagle Vs. Shark is effectively New Zealand's answer to Napoleon Dynamite. Jarrod (Clement) and Lily (Loren Horsley), two socially awkward misfits living in their own fantasy worlds, find awkward acceptance with each other and come together to go on important adventures. Quirkiness ensues. I give it "5 Punches in the Face."
