Did you know that Dave Pianka scored like 3,600+ peeps at his LCD Soundsystem/Sleigh Bells jawn for Making Time's Summer of Radness finale at the Philly naval base? He did. "Pretty amaazinng" he says. Do you know he plans to top that show and its accomplishment before 2010's end? Look for the Daft Punk Tron premiere or a Kraftwerk reunion or a Yellow Magic Orchestra reunion or Sparks doing the entirety of Kimono My House. On Oct. 2 Clean Equations will release its People/Variables debut CD at Johnny Brenda's. That's great. I applaud their snappy sloppy art rawk efforts. I can't say I know the Equations' crowd. But I can say that opening for them is the messy funky The Great Vibration and Conversations With Enemies — both whose crowds I do know. Many people will be very drunk by the time Clean Equations hit the stage. Play louder. Speaking of speaking up, Whisper is supposed to be the new name of what was once Denim on Walnut. You'll have to yell, because no one's going to care unless you scream. The Philadelphia Theatre Company is in a search for a new managing director. The old one, Diane Claussen, didn't just disappear — she resigned before the start of PTC's 35th season (Oct. 6 PTC@Play) to head back to Chicago and managing direct at Northwestern University's Theatre and Interpretation Center. Interpret this, Diane: Bummer.

Vince Neil, author

WHOWHATWHERE: I know comedian Eric "Doogie" Horner is from Fishtown but does he live on Ninth Street too? I ask because right after posters went up for the America's Got Talent contestant/Quirk Books graphic designer' show at Connie's Ric Rac on Oct. 1, I saw a guy who looked just like him gesticulating wildly in one of the apartments above the Geno's complex. ... Positano Coast and the Ritz 5 got a visit from Conviction star Sam Rockwell, director Tony Goldwyn and Betty Anne Waters (whom the film is about) on Tuesday. Yay. The Office's Amy Ryan caught Jack Goes Boating at the Ritz Bourse last week. Double yay. Anthony Anderson may have been singing on the second floor of Yakitori Boy in Chinatown. No idea why he was in town other than that he likes traditional karaoke. Motley Crue's Vince Neil was spotted with lots of tats and no drinks when he signed copies of his auto-biog Tattoos and Tequila at Bookends in Ridgewood, NJ, then at Borders on Broad Street in Philly. Shoot me already. I luuuv "Dr Feelgood." It was my stripper anthem. Speaking of stripper DJs, Danny Masterson aka DJ Mom Jeans (why not use yer own name, Dan?) spun at Dusk Saturday night, drinking Ultimat vodka and shots of Patron. Damn skippy. Right before Masterson spun The Strokes showed up unannounced to hang with him. Like Fez used to. Sweet. Danny and the Strokes dined at Mia before his set at Dusk. I wrote about it. I saw it. Now it's Bryn Mawr College's time to play Chicken. The school's Performing Arts Series hosts a performance of Charlotte Ford's Live Arts thing Chicken at the Hepburn Theater in historic Goodhart Hall Oct. 1 and 2. Ford went to school there and they want their frigging Stella Adler books back. Drinkers owner Avram Hornic bought one of the several Phanatic statues that went up for auction last week. Noodle Heaven — a fave of Bellevue eateries where Bliss now stands — isn't making a comeback. Owner Jane Guo is. She's opening Jane G's on 19th and Chestnut in 2011. Guo also holds several Noodle Panda palaces throughout the state. Cool. Read more Icepack here.
