24 hours later and 200 dollars poorer I arrive at little Philly town. Merely 1.25 hours by train from NYC. Dusty window compliments of Amtrak.

That view is from my friend joe's apartment in hell's kitchen.

lovely!

great pictures. Pride was awesome this year. I spent it at a party on the 12th floor of #1 Greenwich, overlooking all the insanity. Good times!

thanks!

Great pics Philadweller :)

Live8 was on your doorstep in Philly, were you there :)

Yes i was briefly..then i went to the beach to bodysurf to cool off. I returned and caught the tail end of stevie wonder. On Monday I woke up to find Elton John at the end of my street and they named my street elton's way. I am not a big fan of Elton John, I hear he is a persnickety little bastard. I also dont like how he was in the closet all those years. Who the hell wa he fooling? I think he is a commercial piece of cheese. He is very talented though and much richer than I.

Elton has recently taken heroin addict Pete Doherty (former lead sing of the Libertines) and now front man for Baby Shambles under his wing. :runaway:

Although to be fair Elton could have slipped Doherty Rohypnol the date rape drug :laugh:

Fat Elton and Pete share a kiss. :Shudder:

Doherty seems confused as to who, what or where he is, as he gives a marvellous performance of 'I am a Little Tea Pot' :lol:

Remember though Kids, hard drugs could lead you to prostitute yourself like Pete, and you too could end up with your tongue tickling Uncle Elton's tonsils and sitting on his knee of a night :runaway:

Did you see the Kaiser Chiefs :)

That is hysterical, I'm gonna vomit. I'd rather slip the tongue to Shelly Winters or lick Ernest Borgnine's eyebrows...unless of course Sir Elton was paying off my mortgage

:puke:

I think Elton would make a good Uncle Monty chrachter (Withnail and I).

MY BOYS, MY BOYS.

ps Philadweller, the tall ships are coming to Newcastle soon, so I will post some pics. :)

All the best :wink2:

I was going to go and see George in Scotland, but thought I'd write to you instead Philadweller. :hi:

thats brilliant!

wow I loved the tour!

thanks!!!!

i always miss pride.....was in nc

grrrrrrrrr

The ariel pics are my favorite. :)

I was in Philly for Live 8, just have to get my pics up and online to post them.
Do you live on the parkway, philadweller? I stayed with a friend in the Park Towne apartments. Also, what'd you take Amtrak to New York for? Theres a MUCH cheaper chinatown bus that is never crowded. In fact, I took it last week from Philly to NYC, and there were only 4 people on the entire bus, including the driver.

I hate the Jersey Turnpike!

great pictures bro. Thanks for showing the people that ARE NY.
