MAN CAVE: Never let a wedding keep you from your dude-ly duties

Filed Under: Critical Mass | Man Cave

As you know, the weekends are strictly reserved for my ritual Philly slackfest, and the fact that I was a groomsman in a wedding in Long Island wasn't going to keep me from partaking in some token non-productiveness in the City of Brotherly Love. Friday: Swung by the Irish Pol (45 S. 3rd St.) for happy hour — the most ridiculous list of three dollar drafts you're likely to find. I'll be swinging back tonight for their all-Pearl Jam bring-your-iPod-Mondays (wear your PJ gear for special discounts). After an hour or so, we hit the road (don't worry, the wifey drove) and got Philly radio until around Exit 7. Then, it's WPRB (Princeton) to the rescue. Saturday: Partook in the swankiest New York Italian wedding I've ever seen, complete with live jazz during cocktail hour (during which I created a massacre at the sushi bar and frequently marauded the "Seagrams Station"--nicknamed so by me). Sunday: Returned home (but not before the GPS sent us through an hour detour in downtown Manhattan). Cozied into my "Cave" with a tall bottle of Philly local Flying Fish Exit 4, in honor of my Turnpike survival. Enjoyed some Philly folk-rockers If'n who were featured in a YouTube video (above) called "Pop Culture For Dummies." Catch them on Mar. 9 at the Grape Room (105 Grape St.)
