PHILLY-JAN. 09: Cheers to this fun little adventure in Philly with Finger on the Pulse, Moulinex and Xinobi. We managed to really rage the last hour of the night and all
developed a new addiction to orange juice. I've also come to the conclusion that there's an obsession with funky sweaters...ones you don't mind tearing the arms
off of while dancing. At least here at Kung Fu Neck-tie, where the dancing is not a joke. Neither are the new legwarmers Lucy and I scored on the dancefloor.
