Hey all. Just wondering if there are any kindred souls in the Phila, PA zone with whom I might commiserate, discuss eps, etc. I'm afraid that, while sympathetic up to a point, the wife never became a convert as such (probably a kindness, as things have [so far!] turned out), and has probably had it up to *here* with all my gorram palaver about this show.

I'm not from the Philly area, from North Jersey (not so north that I'm snow bound all the time though) I'm about 1/2 an hour from NYC. But I cordially invite you to the East Coast Shindig where I'm sure other Philly brown coats will be.

Well, there's me (a lurker up until right now), and my girlfriend. It's nice to know we're not the only Browncoats in the area.

Shiny! Glad to "meet" you in the world! Especially since I'm not like to be able to make it to AC, where the last bit of agreement seemed to have settled for a Shindig venue. Are y'all in Philly proper?

Yeah, we're in the northwestern neighborhood of Mt. Airy, and we both work in Center City. You?

Live and play in Art Museum area. Work mostly in Buck's County, near New Hope (and there's a fun commute, let me tell you!), and one day in Norristown (I'm a shrink, BTW). Always curious about what other BCs do; what's your gig?

Oh, and Persephone, where's Johnstown again?

Ah, the dreaded "What do you do?" question. With luck, it won't be too long before I can answer with "I'm a writer", but for now I'm a failed student ("failed" as in "left", not "failed" as in "wasn't good enough") and a part-time retail clerk. Jenny (the aforementioned Browncoat girlfriend) has a Bachelor's Degree in English Lit. from Bryn Mawr and works an office job for a large plastics company.

Shiny! Wordsmiths (the rest is just details and detours). Retail's as good a place as any for gathering character studies (said the Bloomingdale's veteran...and, of course, my current line is as good a source of composite [confidentiality, y'know!] characters as ever there was!). And office work does so speed up the typing (helps for theses/dissertations!). Is your writing genre-like stuff? Are you as humbled as I by the seemingly effortless and spontaneous dialogue in our beloved FF? ('case you couldn't tell, I dabble a bit my-own-self [feel free to check out www.futureshocks.com for my freshman short novel, "Night Music." Giggles optional]).

Shameless plug for trs-80's DVDs, by the way. Really tide one over for the Official Set. And at $25, they're a tribute as much to his generosity as to his technical prowess (BTW, never met the guy, and I'm not getting compensated

)

Pushing the limits of my nocturnal week-day ways. Nice matching orbits with you!
