Reunion culcha: As reported
in this week's Agenda section, our old friends from the
Black Banana/Voyeur axis (some of which we spied at the
Valanni/Social opening last night for a moment) are doing a reunion of
Le Club Banana — one of this city's first Euro-centric after hours spots — this weekend at
Voyeur. One of the biggest connecting factors is that
Mistress Natasha (BB bartender, now at Voyeur) and old pal
Nicky London will host when the party goes down on
Jan. 16, and there will be video messages from
Kristen DeLeo Chalmers a.k.a. Kris D, rapping delight ("I'm Not from New York" was her joint) and appearances from Banana Djs:
Eric Marsh,
Lee Jones,
Tronco,
Josh Wink and
Robert Drake. If you ever enjoyed getting caught doing naughty things in their bathroom with the two way mirror, this night's for you. Check out our above photo of Natasha as a baby lovely. Yum.
➤ Our good friend and Philly expatriate (for Buffalo) performance artist/photographer
Liz Rywelski was so enraged when she saw my Icepack mention of
Sarah Palin and
Bob Brady and
Gabrielle Giffords, that she barfed on one of Palin's books (who cares which) and started
THIS viral vid campaign (weak tummies beware!).
➤
WHOWHATWHERE: Just weeks before Fugees'
Lauryn Hill restarts her sanity, I mean her career, at A.C.'s
House of Blues, (Jan. 29) another of the Fu-gee-la-las,
Pras Michel, was seen at
Studio 609 with producers
Dre and
Vidal. Better than another Wyclef sighting, huh?

➤ The Kammerers
, Holly and
Douglas, (with whom I did stuff on The 10! Show) made their last appearance in Philly over the weekend at
Roosevelt Pub — he's in D.C. on NBC 4. See you, pal.
➤ The crew at
U of P's Veterinary Hospital (that's where my dawg
Django goes) was treated to a visit from Sirius/XM + Howard Stern show newswoman
Robin Quivers and her Cornish Rex cat Brangelina who had kidney work. She discussed as much on the air and this is not to be confused with
Camille Grammer's appearance on the Stern show.
➤ The
Cira Center gave the
ADL Home Grown Hero Award to the Phillies GM
Ruben Amarro Jr.. For his reward, he got a lick form the Phillies Phanatic.
➤What the hell were a thousand guys with busmen's caps doing at the PMA? I kid.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art hosted over 1,700 international tourism operators from the
American Bus Association's annual conference, watching trapeze artists hanging from the Great Stair Hall ceiling and jazz musicians in berets from the
Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts.
➤ We don't know if he did anything as spectacular as
Christian Bale or
Mark Wahlberg this season, but
M. Night Shyamalan walked the carpet at the
National Board Of Review Of Motion Pictures Awards Gala Tuesday night at Cipriani's in NYC.
➤
Vicki Spaeth and
Jeremy Dyan got it going on at
Tin Angel Sunday Jan. 16. But only
Spaeth's Cadets have
Schooly D joining in.
➤
The Wall Street Journal named the
Arden's production of
Sunday in the Park with George one of the "Best Musicals of 2010." Yay they. This reminds me that the
Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia,
Dance/USA Philadelphia,
Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance and the
Philadelphia Music Project just launched
PhillySpaceFinder.com as an online resource for performers and producers to find venues for whatever they need. Use this.
