So, I am now into week two of my two-week 'staycation' ... where I have taken time off from work but stayed put; to catch up with friends and simply enjoy summer in the city.
Last Friday, John and I went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art - and capped off our day with a visit to the new Pearlman Museum, which is part of the PMA but located in its own building across the street.
The following day was a beautiful day to be in Philadelphia - and our friend Rachel joined us as we spread out a blanket and had a mega-picnic in the park; we spent over 7 hours in Rittenhouse Square and left once the evening lampposts fired up their lights.
A great time so far in my staycation!!
About Me
- Robert Drake
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Everything old is good again.
I began spinning the new wave sounds when they were NEW wave sounds , working in various underground clubs in Philadelphia during the gritty era of 1981-1990. From off-radar spots like The Love Club to commanding nights at Philly's premier alternative hotspots The Kennel Club, Omni's and a few special nights at Danceteria in NYC, the Rock of the 80s became my passion.
Since 2003, I've helped shape Philly's nightlife scene by introducing the genre to a whole new generation of ears with my monthly Sex Dwarf party every first Friday at Fluid to hosting Land Of The Lost; a monthly 4-hour block of the Rock of the 80s on WXPN-FM in Philadelphia, to bringing authentic 80s bands back to the city for live concerts... it's all about the music!

I totally was in Rittenhouse Square on Saturday...my friend and I just ended up hovering by the little fountain thing for a half an hour before heading on our way, though.
Glad you're enjoying your staycation so far!
