Post Punk Kitchen Forum

I hear that. Anything east beyond, say, Good Dog, is like visiting the Orient. I called my personal driver (my one friend with a car) and went to Ikea yesterday. It was like a daytrip. I feel like I should have sent postcards or something.

But there are spots in the city in which to potluck, right? Like, a patch of grass here and there...

I'm down for that. I badmouth the school a lot, but that's actually something of a strength I think, so I won't come off old and curmudgeonly, just old. And for now, my calendar is open that week.

Ohh badmouthing is okay, I did my undergrad there and graduated 3 years ago. I really enjoyed it for the most part, I had some pretty decent professors. But I have heard that all my favorites are no longer there, which is a slight bummer.

Anywaay, due to the nice weather, I think I take back my vote for cantina and place it in the potlock in the park hat. Rittenhouse or Clark Park, which just re-opened yesterday, are both easily accessible. Rittenhouse would fit in you twos 9 block radius rule.

but Rhouse is extra full of annoying young people, who I've hated ever since I became one.

you need a bike my friend!

alright so potluck in a park? game on?

I like the potluck in a park idea! We had one in Rittenhouse a couple years ago and it worked out pretty nicely. A couple people can bring blankets, everyone could bring their own plates and cutlery..

I vote for Saturday the 25th! Does that work for anyone?

I have a bday party in Nj the 25. July 2 or 3 work better for me, but its up to the masses.

I'm down for a picnic! I'll be gone the first two weekends in July though. :(

I have one! It gets me to the orient faster. But I neeed to replace it - it's uncomfortable to ride.
We'll just have to tell those young punks to get off our lawn. And then we'll get forkstabbed.

Other options for Ms. 9-block radius (I'm personally okay with Rittenhouse) would be Fitler Square, Schuylkill River Park, the riverbank, and the vacant lot next to the Blue Cross building.

Also, don't plan around me because, as has already happened for this weekend, work can break my plans like a kit kat.

Sorry I havent been paying attention to this. But I def want to picnic! Did you guys decide on a date yet?

Can I suggest Laurel Hill Cemetary as a location? It might be a pain to get to, but its a pretty amazing spot with a great view of the city.

Eta: Joe and I would be willing to pick people up in the city on the way. And I have a picnic basket!

Cemetery?! Whyyyy?

Its beautiful and historic!

That is a gorgeous cemetary... I'm in for a potluck, weekends are kinda hard though

Guys that is SO CREEPY.

You should do it at the cemetery next Saturday or the one after.

Not creepy, amazing! Joe took these.

Those are amazing pictures Joe! But still, eating on top of bodies = vom vom vom.

Well there are grassy areas under trees too. But I understand.

:) You should definitely plan it though it looks lovely, and I can't see many free weekends for me this summer so doesn't matter what I think!

as a graduate from a landscape architecture program in philadelphia, i am rather embarrassed that i've never been to laurel hill. i've driven past it many times, but never actually went in and you know, observed the design and whatnot.

Its kind of unreal how pretty it is. You know, for being a cemetary and all.

whys it uncomfortable?


theres also woodlands cemetery thats a bit closer if were looking to eat over top of the dead

I like the way you think!

no better place to pour libations.

Aw poor libations.
