Phillyist Goes to Live 8

We were there. And judging by the crowds, so were you. You may have seen some of us, at least those of us who were rocking the homemade Phillyist.com t-shirt. We certainly saw you: the boy crossing the parkway's mini-lake on a plank, the guy who climbed the tree and then shamed all future tree-climbers, Kanye West. Phillyist was spread across the Parkway, taking in the sights, the sounds, and unfortunately, the smells.
Over the coming days, you'll hear our coverage of Philadelphia's big day, ranging from the basic logistical issues to the sexual politics of the day to how you can help fight poverty in Philly.
The concert may be over, but the coverage, well, we'll milk it for everything we can get. So please come back and enjoy our Live 8 teat. Watch it with the teeth, please.
