An Ill Bird
; "Cover Story :: An Ill Bird")
Charlotte Ford's CHICKEN plays on our biggest, weirdest fears.
by A.D. Amorosi
If anyone can merge head-rattling obsessions, cross-dress and
Elvis-sideburn them and make them quake, it'd be Charlotte Ford. The avant-garde
auntie is unafraid of looking goofy, sounding squeaky or coming across as unabashedly dumb — all of which make her one of the bravest local perf-art personages to come along in the last decade.
Sanctuary

You Want Me on That Wall?
The Mural Arts Project is buying paint for its street artist nemeses! (Limited time only. Void where prohibited.)
by Natalie Hope McDonald
In a creative move, MAP, long known for its anti-graffiti advocacy, has
tapped local and international street artists to partner on the live
experiment in painting and performance.
Heart of Darkness
Performing The Tell-Tale Heart in the Mutter? Poe would approve.
by Bruce Walsh
After getting turned down by the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site,
the Mütter — Philly's own world-famous collection of 19th-century
medical oddities — seemed "sufficiently creepy" for Tell-Tale.
The Beast Within

Editor's Letter:
Gimme Some Skin
The diffuse messages are what make the Philly Naked Bike Ride refreshing.
by Brian Howard
One of the rubs (if one can comfortably use that term here) on the naked bike ride phenomenon is that its goals are ambiguous.

Letters to the Editor
What You Say
"It is important for Philadelphia residents to understand when their hobbies become businesses."
A Million StoriesAll the news we care to print.
Do you think we give a flying fuck what that professional troll and his
army of old, barely literate white folks
have to say, especially on a goddamn beautiful Saturday morning? Shit, no.

Solitary confinement.
In Pennsylvania, the phrase itself is controversial.

firepower that earned them their name.

The Glass House
The Kimmel Center celebrates a decade.
by Peter Burwasser
As the Kimmel Center observes its 10th anniversary this fall amid
various and sundry controversies, it is impossible to deny it one high
tribute: It has become the vital, beating heart of the Philadelphia
classical music community.
Magna JakartaOutstanding and out of the way, Sky Café brings Indonesian flavor to Cannoli Alley.
by Adam Erace
There's startling complexity in this simple food.
Press Your Luck
Finally, a place to get calentitas in Philly.
by Isaiah Thompson
Fresh tortillas are so
rare in Philly that they're virtually unbuyable. Odds are you've never
had one. Imagine my surprise, then, when I
peered into a minuscule Italian Market storefront and saw — was it a
dream? — men pressing fresh tortillas.
