the greater scranton jaycees santa parade!

pictures from my point of view - my first holiday parade here in nepa. also in the wilkes-barre parade later. enjoy!

final fob video - the staff's thoughts...

marino, justin bryant, and i all share our thoughts in a not-so-serious way about tuesday's stop of "the young wild things tour" in philly.

travie throws the remix on an fob song...

one of the cooler portions of fall out boy's set... pete wentz gabs into one of my favorite tracks on infinity on high - "the takeover, the break's over" - and travis from gym class heroes emerges with his two cents slash sixteen bars.

hotness. that should be an in-studio remix so i can play it on the radio...

fall out boy covers the killers...

imagine our surprise when the boys from chi-town paid homage to their labelmates from vegas with a rendition of "mr. brightside"...

fall out boy - exclusive video from philly.

highlights of their 90 minute set from tuesday's show at the wachovia spectrum in philadelphia...

lindsay in and out of jail...

michael hundgen on the show at 7:30 with the latest... breaking news, stay tuned!

the stars turn in their cards...

from the new york post...

In his new book on sexual facts, "Where Do Nudists Keep Their Hankies?" just out from HarperEntertainment, Mitchell Symons reveals that Clint Eastwood, David Duchovny, Bruce Willis and Jerry Hall gave up their innocence at 14. Topping them are: Johnny Depp, James Caan and Jon Bon Jovi, who were just 13. Don Johnson was a mere 12. And Sean Connery confessed, "I was 8, but I can't recall with whom."

i can't recall exactly what i did at 8 either - but whatever i did certainly didn't involve taking my clothes off.

lindsay sans makeup.

thanks to tmz.

something tells me that at her ripe age of 21, all of the drugs/alcohol/misc. unhealthy lifestyle characteristics are catching up to her.

best buy and i made up today.

so all of those nasty things i typed about my good friends "the geek squad"... i take 'em back.

best buy awarded my three weeks of patience earlier today with a new digital camera. my new kodak easyshare m753 is a step up from my previous camera. it didn't cost me a penny more. and my service warranty carried over.

holler for the first pic!

fall out boy : backstage passes.

kind of... a sample sheet of the various passes distributed at tuesday's "wild young things" tour stop in philly at the wachovia spectrum...

you can't read it - but photogs are only allowed to snap shots of the first two songs, videographers get the first :30 seconds of those same songs.

what's fall out boy scuured about?

buy a piece of the sopranos.

yeah, not even the new york family could take home a piece of tony soprano. but now you can own a building that he certainly loved to mangia in.

get that special some one this christmas a piece of tv history. turns out satriale's pork store wasn't really a pork store - it was a big building owned by someone else. now that person knocked down the structure to make room for "the soprano" - deluxe condos that will garner six-figure sale tags. but don't worry - the story of satriale's doesn't end there.

you can now purchase pieces of the old building. the "porkstones" are selling for $25 and $50 - and can be purchased here.

gym class heroes live video!

check out snippets of their performance from last night's show in philly. gotta love patrick stump hoppin' on his hook in "clothes off!"...

pictures from the young wild things tour...

ralphie and mtv!

yeah yeah... check out the screenshot...

nothing like having a lead story on an mtv website, citizen journalism blog or otherwise. click here to check out the blog's front page. click here to read the full article i wrote on yesterday's concert.

the show's ovah.

in the car heading back on 76. great show. a couple more highlights...

- travis came out and spit 16 bars before "the takeover, the break's over." why don't they hop in the studio and remix that?

- according to my sources, pete wentz and ashlee simpson are STILL an item.

- "this ain't a scene" looked like a full out theatrical performance. the big words on the video screen - the huge flames - hotness, literally.

- set lasted about an hour and a half.

- how is a philly establishment sold out of cheesesteaks?

- wachovia spectrum - sucks. everything else, including philly - amazing.

later tonight/tomorrow - video, full review, pictures. stay tuned!

almost an hour.

fob is throwing down the guitar riffs to thriller as i type. so far, so amazing. a little less than 60 minutes into this performance, and it's exceeded my expectations.

the group treated philly to a couple acoustic performances, including a solo version of "golden."

pete told the crowd right before this song that we'd hear a longer set - the group won't be playing in the states for much longer (overseas tour for once).

gotta jet - the takeover, the break's over!!!

30 minutes in...

fall out boy is on 30 minutes of rockin' the spectrum. after a little tease, it seems the group is diving into the latest cd, "infinity on high." we've already heard carpal tunnel of love and hum halellujah.

here comes "i'm like a lawyer (me & you)"

patrick's voice is unearthing. lovin' it.

meeee andddd youuuuuuu :)

the good, bad, and ugly...

good - gym class heroes ended their set strong. you figured patrick stump would cameo for one of his two collabs with gch, and he didn't disappoint. stump jumped on his own hook of "clothes off!" awesome stuff - the guys voice sounds better live than recorded... atleast for now.

bad - the atm is located 30 miles from where we're sitting.

ugly - can't pay with credit cards at the concessions. wtf with this place.

ever heard of the artic monkeys?

seems the gym class heroes have. travie and the boys from upstate ny covered one of their songs midway through the set, only moments after asking all of philly to jump to van halen's hit.

the spec looks pretty full. no seating on the floor - and its packed like sardines halfway to the end.

the three of us are sitting on stage left, in the press box. no free food or wireless internet. basically i'm lost.

love gch, but i've seen them multiple times already. i'm ready for fob.

you know the concert is comprised of emo-friendly bands when... the merch line is jam packed, and there's no wait at the concessions stand :X

well this sucks...

the wachovia spectrum lacks internet connectivity. so looks like i'll be blogging from the bberry. pics and vids will wait til later tonight.

gym class heroes are now. geneva, ny stand up! started with "cupid's chokehold." went into "the queen and i." now travis is gabbing.

yes - favorite song now. ttyl after their set.
