OMGosh it’s nearly July. I am sooo happy, as it means the end of Spring Social Season, and the beginning of getting lots done which I didn’t do at the end of Fall Social Season cause I fell. Things really slow down for me, events are few and far between after the July 4th Festivities.
Last year I went away, this year I will be covering a lot of events as my three big clients, PECO, IBX and Jefferson Hospital are sponsors. Hope to see you out and about, if not continue to follow these pages and my social for what’s happening in and around Philly.
I spotted a new mural, it is on Sansom Street, on the back of the Philadelphia Film Society Building. What great memories on the wall, many which I experienced like QFest, GPFO – twice they have had Rocky movies debut here with Sylvester Stallone in attendance, the Black Star Film Festival, Philly Cam. I hear the dedication will coincide with the re opening date of the theater, after it finishes the $4 million renovations, in September. Congrats to Carla Ricci, COO/CDO of the Phila Film Society “I am honored to join the Philadelphia Film Society at such an exciting time,” I worked with Carla at the Eisenhower Fellowships .
The Portal has landed in City Hall’s Courtyard! It’s open when the other side of the world is awake—spreading smiles across time zones. If you’ve passed by lately, you might’ve noticed one side is ‘out.’ Word is the heatwave knocked it offline last week. Don’t worry—it’ll be back up just in time for the Fourth of July fireworks!
