ICEPACK: Starr, Ansill, Louis and the Wid

I believe you mean the Legendary Wid. â¤ Mouth breathers, last week was yours, what with Corbett and Toomey winning, and McNabb being sidelined for being, well, the same McNabb we had for years. But this week is for the smart elitists amongst us, what with several days of celebrations for the brand-new (the National Museum of American Jewish History's groundbreaking galas) and the longtime (Greater Philadelphia Film Office's 25th anniversary), both featuring marquee-name attendees. Mazel tov. We'll talk later. â¤ You know that I know that you know that Stephen Starr didn't take over Ansill on Bainbridge for an Italian restaurant like he was s'posed to and that namesake chef David Ansill headed to Sansom Street's Ladder 15. On Nov. 16, meat-man Ansill will have a coming-out five-course meal with seafaring Mike Stollenwerk of Lombard Street's fish at L15. â¤ Fun fact learned at Louis CK's Academy of Music gig: Philly saxophonist Max Gast co-wrote and performed the soundtrack for CK's Louie on FX. "We're returning in December to work on season two," says Gast. â¤ Our lady of fabulash design, Bela Shehu, has a new women's line, NINO. "It's looking fantastic," she says. See it yourself at her fashion-studio's sample sale Nov. 18 at 621 Sigel. â¤ Word has it the legendary Dew Inn Diner at Fifth and Girard — the last of the sensational greasy spoon breakfast-erias — is on the market. I'm heading there for toast tomorrow. Bitar's, too (at 10th and Federal), is up for grabs, apparently, but they're looking to relocate. â¤ Two weeks ago, director Scott Johnston and Woodshop Films' Andrew Geller documented the opening of an installation by Philly comic Mike Baldwin — aka The Legendary Wid — at Baltimore's American Visionary Art Museum. Wid's exhibit remains up for a year. Geller got home in time to film Darren Finizio's Nov. 13 Balcony gig as Muscle Factory. Watch this space for an Ice Cube about it. â¤ When improvisational git-boxer Nick Millevoi's Many Arms held a release party last Friday for its CD Missing Time (yay), the gig was a farewell to West Philly's Avant Gentlemen's Lodge (boo). No more shows.
