ICE CUBE: More Mac's, tough lovin' and what does a Stanley Cup finalist buy at AKA?

Courtney Love

After the cigarettes smolder and the WHOWHATWHERE of Icepack has gone to bed (want to know what's up with the Courtney Love shot above? Don't miss Ice online!), there's always more fabulousness to be had where out-of-towner celebs — let's be honest, the only kind — are concerned. You know like I know how crowded Mac's Tavern (226 Market St., 267-324-5507) — that would be Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia — was during it's grand opening soiree (check out Critical Mass' pictures from the event and interview with IASIP's Kaitlin Olson, Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton). Only my pants were tighter than the crowd at Mac's. Anyone who hung patiently for Danny DeVito to join his castmates had to wait out his drink fest at Butcher & Singer. Yet if you didn't feel like being crammed tightly next to Sunny-siders, you could find another basic cable star in Steve Ward. The VH1 Tough Love Philly-bred host hit the Wilhelmina Models' opening bash at Arch Street's FUEL Gallery wearing shorts. No Steve, shorts aren't cool or appropriate on a man of your age. Grow up. Then there's the shopping spree at AKA Records (27 N. Second St., 215-922-3855) that ended in sorrow. See, there was this guy with a sort-of-a-Finnish accent shopping for vinyl albums at Mike Hoffman's shop. After a couple words were exchanged, Hoffman asked the gentleman what he did and who he was. He answered: hockey player, Ville Leino. When Hoffman asked what Leino was up to, the gentleman replied "Well, we almost won the Stanley Cup." Dag, brah. Leino then went on to purchase LPs of The Cure's Disintegration and Lou Reed's Berlin: Live at St. Anne's Warehouse. No wonder he's sad.
