I am doing pretty well on my 33 list. I can knock a few things off including:
Drink Absinthe
Visit Philly
Become an owner of a real designer bag
See a metal show where flames are involved
The only think disappointing about the Iron Maiden show tonight was that there were no flames present except for those coming off of Bic’s blazing across the crowd. I went with friends, but I kept wishing my dad were there with us. I think he would have gotten a kick out of it – especially after his recent revelation proclaiming “I do like metal” after reading Rob Walsar’s study “Blah blah testosterone” This was the same book my dad ganked from me and read in two days resulting in him walking around the kitchen talking about “power chords” and feminism.
Nontheless Bruce and Co. tore it up and the people watching – um, phenomenal. If you are ever in doubt on what to wear to a metal show, just go with the camo pants and black t-shirt or, …… you can just dress like a stripper. So, after a proper introduction into this new and foreign realm of metal I only have one thought….. I want to see FLAMES!

I think I am finally somewhat recovered from the weekend in Philly or the trip referred to the great Sandwich Getaway. We ate our way through Philly and discovered some great new places.
So my favorites….
Bonte Wafflerie -
I had the sugary coated thick dough waffle with pecans and blueberries mixed in. Wow – delicious and something I have never quite tasted before. I read further on these yeasty waffles from Belgium, and might even attempt to cook them myself sometime. So good.
ISHKABIBBLE’S
Cheestake. Fun Name. Cheeze Wiz Yum. That’s all.
Tattooed Mom
Love this bar. The bartender looked like a vampire in True Blood and he made us the regional specialty of a pickle back with a shot of liquor. Pickles make everything better. After taking a break from eating we promptly returned for more debauchery at this place.
Sarcone’s Deli at the Italian Market
I took a bite of the hoagie and fell in love but Scotty got seriously upset when he thought the second half of his sandwitch was ganked. It was that good.
The World’s Largest General Store
A random stop of the way home that was full of softserve and photo opportunities. Oh my.
