We love food. Not just because it's a necessary substance for sustaining life. Perhaps, we should say we're in love with food. That's why we would risk personal relationships for an ourstanding meal, why The Food Network is one of the only TV stations we can find without using the guide, and why we comb the pages of picture-heavy cookbooks the way most people thumb through the latest edition of Playboy (NSFW). And so......

A sad week for LAist as they lose their trusted and amazing editor Tony Pierce to the LA Times, but what a blast his last week was. He shared his 25 Favorite CDs of 2007 and wrote a great review of just a good movie, No Country For Old Men. At UCLA, thousands of students celebrated the end of their quarter by running around campus in their undies (lots of photos in a two-part......

Just in time for tonight's party (will you be there?), Phillyist adds another new writer to the mix, this one the very talented—and extensively published—Joshua Valocchi. We'd like to emphasize that we brought him on as a writer long before he said nice things about Editor Jill's place of employment in a Philadelphia Weekly article, and that said article has nothing to do with his new position on the staff. Although Editor Jill may just......

Proofreading Philly tries to capture typos, wordos, and all other kinds of grammatical mistakes that we see around the city. But we need your help! Email photos to us from your computer or your phone, and show the city that you care about good grammar. We actually love The Muse Gallery (52 N. 2nd St.). But when we were doing research on the "First Friday Fun" post that will be going up this afternoon, we......

Choral season is upon us! With both Choral Arts Society and Singing City opening on the same night, it's a tough call. You'll just have to read the descriptions and decide for yourself. Monday 1807 and Friends, a musical ensemble dedicated to “the unusual gems in the great treasure trove of chamber music,” presents the Florian Trio, composed mostly of Philadelphia Orchestra members, in a program of Schubert, Paganini, and more. Academy of Vocal......

What's new and/or interesting on television this week. Election Coverage (Tue; Practically all night; Many stations) - Yes, Tuesday is election day, which means endless TV coverage of the progress of all the various races, and plenty of talking heads blathering on on the subject of various "what if" questions. But at least it also means we won't have to deal with these damn political ads anymore. Independent Lens (Tue; 10PM-11PM; WLVT) - There's always......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Little People is a cool photo blog/art project. Dude takes photos of tiny hand-painted models posed in interesting spots around London. We like it! Now somebody should start a Philly version. (Via) Speaking of blogs full of fun images, here's a blog of optical illusions. (Via) A list, and this one's pretty cool: the 20 Best Zombie Films of All Time,......

God, we're so sick of Snakes on a Plane that we want to kill anyone and everyone that makes a "something on a something" joke. But then we realized that there was no way we could ever win this fight, and, hell, if you can't beat them, we might as well join them. And with that, you have the theme of this weeks' Gothamist network post. Austinist makes it easy for us, with Candidate on......
