Running Numbers2 Number of years of existence that will be celebrated by Freeculture.org during their anniversary-marking national conference April 21-23 at Swarthmore College. Don't miss the Prometheus radio workshop and Saturday night's pirate party. Register at Freeculture.org.
3 Number of months between performances by myself and comedian Bill Burr at the Laff House four years ago. Headliner, open micpotayto, potahto. Burr plays the Helium Comedy Club April 27-29.
4 Probable number of potheads who'll show up to the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Urban Sustainability Forum April 20 from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Academy of Natural Sciences. Stop snickering, stoners. Just because it's on 4/20 doesn't mean they're going to show you how to sustain your homegrown.
$6,000 Amount of cash stolen out of the purse of the manager of the band Arab Strap when she accidentally left it at Nick's Roast Beef on Second Street last Sunday. Look, just because Nick's is close to the City Paper offices and Patrick Rapa is known to stalk bands doesn't mean his new Vespa wasn't a birthday present from his uncle. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
30,000 Number of folders containing letters to and from Benjamin Franklin in Yale's newly opened library dedicated solely to Franklin busts, medallions and writings.
