?uesto got Flyered Up before the Picnic

How do you get over? You know, I didn't even get that the Flyers had won last night until two things happened. As I was walking down the street after a big-n-blistering Futureheads show at the First Unitarian Church, a jabbering klatch of orange-n-black clad women were doing the scream — thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat scream, the one where the polyps at that the back of the throat must bleed in order to be effectively effusive and gleeful. Then, there was the fact that my show-pocketed cell phone was filled with text messages about Ahmir '?uestlove" Thompson being at the Flyers game. He's a versatile guy — my guess is that, along with drumming, he's raised a goalie stick in his day. And he likes to picnic — as you fans of the Roots Picnic at Festival Pier this Saturday no doubt remember from the top of today's Icepack. But what I did miss about his busy weekend — and Pop art posters adorning every phone pole on my block remind me of — is that Thompson will spin several shifts of June 6's Sundae jam at Octo as well as its Silk City After Party. Dag. The hardest working man in show biz? Maybe he's the hardest working man in hockey and very possibly a goalie to boot.
