Latest Links to My Party Photos at PhillyMag and Philly.com & Philly Daily News w/Molly Eichel plus #PCCInsider

Sorry about not posting on Monday. I keep failing at my #1 rule which is bloggers must post everyday to be taken seriously, as well as to feed the Google Gods. Anyway, I was feeling a little under the weather so I slept in til about 10AM, but progress doesn’t wait for me to stop hitting snooze.

The snow that falls tonight, will not be enough to sled on the Art Museum Steps.

I immediately went to work on getting columns up in Phillydotcom and PhillyMag.  I’ll put them up first. PS I don’t send photos out people, sorry. I don’t have time, and even when I used to sell them for $7 they just never moved, and most of the time when I am hired for a job the photos I don’t use in my media outlets go back to the client for media distribution, and usually at some point they post them on their FB pages.

#PCCInsider

Sometimes on twitter or on my blog, I like to give you a little #PCCInsider on how I do things. I love looking at an event, and seeing where the photos would fit in my media outlets. I don’t get the final say, I have editors who make that decision, but I’m grateful they put a lot of trust in me too.

I try not to have competing columns on the same subject in both my Philly.com and PhillyMag.com columns, but it was a 9hr party. I was hired for 4.5 of the hours, but I stayed for the 9hrs as the shifts were separated by 3 hrs and well there was free food, friends and people. If I had left during my off hours I would have missed Todd and Brent as they came at 3PM. Anyway, if you look at both columns you’ll see I was true to each of the brands the outlets represent.

Doctors Express Urgent Care OPENS TODAY – VIP Opening Party Pixs

A New Doctors Express Urgent Care opened on Montgomery Avenue in
Narberth. The new facility is open 7 days a week with hours for the center are 8-8 on weekdays and 8-5 on weekends..
Doctors Express services include: urgent care for injury and illness,
X-Rays, Vaccines, Lab Work, Prescriptions and Physical exams. There’s a
Doctor’s Express located in South Philly too.

April Andrews and  Liz Vassal

Acute illnesses are typically those of rapid onset, brief and oftentimes, severe in nature. We have state of the art equipment and the resources necessary for acute care.
 FC Doctors Express treats everything from cuts and bruises to fractures
and colds and everything in between. We have on-site lab tests, x-rays
and prescriptions with no appointments needed. They have a state-of-the-art
urgent care center with professional medical staff on-site every day.
 I’ve used Doctor’s express before, and it’s great if you have a cold, or the flu. They can even do xrays, and write prescriptions. Sometimes I don’t have time to make it over to my doctor, so this alternative choice is perfect for me.

 If you’re going on a trip, it’s a great place to get all your the necessary vaccinations.

PHOTOS: The Kidney Ball, MC’d by Mike Jerrick, entertainment by the Mummers #CharityGala

The last two weeks, as you may surmise, have been dominated by event after event. It doesn’t matter that I have 4 outlets, when you shoot 26 events in a week there’s going to be a delay. Plus my feedburner is on the blitz. I’ll have to address that when I have time. Today we’re going to the Kidney Ball which was held Saturday a week ago. The same night I went to the HRC Dinner and the Red Ball, which the later I have yet to publish. I do hope you follow along with me on twitter and instagram, when I do #LiveReport from these events. Thanks so much and on with the show…

 Every event needs to begin with the Mummers
 
and then have Fox 29’s Mike Jerrick MC their event. I don’t think there’s another reporter/anchor in this City that participates in as many charity events as he does. Plus he’s so darn good at commanding the attention of an audience, while being funny at the same time.

The event welcomed over 370 guests and together we raised over $375,000 toward the awareness, prevention, and treatment of kidney disease in the Delaware Valley.
Not
only did the Pearl Anniversary honor Dr. George Francos, the Beatrice
F. Nicoletti Professor of Nephrology at Thomas Jefferson University,
the event also reunited him with Mary Sullivan, a former patient’s
wife. The evening stood as a “gift of remembering” for her and Dr.
Francos as they remembered her husband’s struggle with kidney disease.

RECENT LINKS TO PARTY PHOTOS YOU MIGHT BE IN….

Sorry I’ve gotten behind, some events haven’t posted cause I’ve discovered when you shoot 26 events in three weeks there’s just not enough media outlets to place them all in.  Here are a few events I have placed in my outside media outlets…

Also I know you haven’t been recieving my email, for some reason the RSS feedlink is broken. I’m trying to get to the bottom of it. Otherwise I might start doing a the Chimp Mailing thingy.

The following are events I photographed this past weekend:

Bi at Sundown the New bi-weekly Dance Party at Ultra Lit. I did do a column for both Philly.com and G Philly. See if you can figure out the theme of both columns, and why they are different.

The Baker’s Jar Opening Night Party

The Baker’s Jar opened its doors in early 2014 with the goal of
putting a new spin on classic desserts with uncompromising attention to
taste and presentation.  Our priorities at the Baker’s Jar are
straightforward: simplicity, sweetness and just the right amount of
decadence. 

Each one of our scrumptious cakes, pies, and puddings is
perfectly portioned and elegantly packaged in its very own Mason jar.
 The result, a menu full of carefully considered, beautifully baked
treats, whose exposed layers leave your mouth watering and your mind
stumped as to which flavor to choose (our advice: all of them).

Free of
frills and even crusts, the only thing between you and one of our
delectable creations is, quite literally, the baker’s jar

Avery Goldman (3rd from left) understands the importance of local food and its effect on a community. Hailing from New Haven, CT, a place defined by its culinary achievements (home to the first hamburger and #1 ranked pizza), After graduating from Earlham College, a small liberal arts school in
rural Indiana, Avery chose Philadelphia as her new home for the small
town feel of its diverse and distinctive neighborhoods.  She worked for
several years in bakeries and catering companies around the city before
choosing to focus on a place of her own in 2013. 

It wasn’t until she
had a firm idea of what her shop would offer, and why, that Avery broke
ground on The Baker’s Jar-a neighborhood bakery serving up a variety of
deserts with equal parts form and function.  Now, in 2014, Avery is
ecstatic to bring her aesthetic and mouthwatering creations to the
community she’s grown to love and the neighborhood she calls home.

 I went to the opening of the Baker’s Jar, which I found to be a really unique idea. Unfortunately I was on my 1075th diet so I didn’t have any. My friends loved it, especially the Carrot Cake. The party was over a month ago, and you know what happens sometimes, I misplace my notebook, so we’re just going to enjoy these photos.

 Desserts are available in two different sized mason jars — mini-jars for $3.50 and standard jars for $5.
The Baker’s Jar 625 S16th St. Philadelphia, PA

If you bring the mason jar back you’ll receive $.50
 There’s only a few seats at the store, so it’s more of a carry out place.

Emily Tharp, (r) founder of Her Philly, a lifestyle blog for young women dining, shopping, playing & living in the city of Philadelphia is everywhere lately.

The Baker’s Jar
When: Tuesday-Sunday; Closed on Mondays
Where: The Baker’s Jar, 625 S. 16th Street
Cost: Pay as you go
