It’s Electric! Our pals at Geekadelphia are throwing a shindig honoring America’s greatest geek Ben Franklin. Yup, that long-haired, fat bastard invented a ton of stuff (or so they say) and he’s arisen from the dead and looking for some fun in Philly. Bonus: You know that guy who plays Ben at all the big events? Yeah, well he’s not invited (he’s a real cockblock). Details:

Jon Wurster = a relentless volcanic eruption of comedy and music!
Language, Please! Kathy Griffin started it, and hopefully Tina Fey has ended it. Let’s put “Suck it!” on that high shelf where we completely forget about things, it’ll fit in nicely with “Bitch!” and some other never-funnies that can be heard regularly in Manayunk bars and also as a greeting on the Preston & Steve morning zoo.
Comic vs Audience, Now with 100% More Sound: I just spent a delightful half hour listening to local comedian Chip Chantry chat with host Dave Walk. You can too! Totally free. Listen up: Podcast.
More Props: Music maven @largeheartedboy reminded the twitterverse that Propagandhi finished their latest in November and should be available soon. We’ll keep ya posted. That is rockin’ good news. In honor, let’s fire up some some ferocity… a nice Bush send-off.
