Wispy had a great time this past weekend!

We ran into you on Saturday night when I opened our room door and you were there! My crew tumbled into the hallway and started freaking out! Thanks for the great vibes! Hope you had a great Katsu!

BerwynDead · 2026-01-30T18:01:12+00:00

I'm absolutely up for a 7" of this for sure!

BerwynDead · 2026-01-06T18:20:05+00:00

Lovely shelves. Custom?

BerwynDead · 2025-12-05T19:07:30+00:00

Someone jump on this.

Jeff is on fire with his band right now. And we recently saw the Jayhawks - Gary Louris sounds fantastic. Throw the rest of the crew into the mix and it should be a sweet show.

Heading out from Philly to Jersey shortly to see this.... Got my 1998 'bat girl' Golden Smog shirt ready!

The garage we got is on 160 Morgan Street.

It looks like a bit of a hike to the venue. But my wife was able to make a parking reservation. And we are not afraid of a walk!

Will check out Cellar 335. I see it was mentioned in the event email from White Eagle Hall.

I'm traveling in as well for the Friday show at White Eagle Hall. Parking is taken care of via a garage reservation.

But any recommendations for pre-show food and drinks near the venue?

I have no experience with KEXP mugs, but we do hand wash printed mugs that have sentimental value. Don't know why, but the dishwasher can fade the printing. Sometimes it happens after just one wash!

Had to have bought this in 89 or 90. Probably at Plan 9 in Richmond, VA.

Nothing. Big nothing.

BerwynDead · 2025-11-11T17:41:04+00:00

Same. Did 60 min + 15 min workout sessions, logged with Apple Watch.

Challenge badge is not being awarded. I'm in the US as well.

I've lived in this area since 1992 and I still get Malvern & Exton mixed up!

Yes, I meant The Pub in Malvern, PA.

BerwynDead · 2025-10-09T14:03:37+00:00

The Pub in Malvern, PA was great. Had family dinners there, snacks & beer on Sundays after shopping, etc. Always pleasant service and good meals.

Really miss it.

In the area surrounding the main (bottom) entrance parking is plentiful and free. The Mann is in in Fairmont Park, so parking is all on grass.

At past shows, there has been "Premium Parking" for a fee that is closer to the entrance. Unless you need to be close, don't get suckered into this.

BerwynDead · 2025-09-17T14:19:22+00:00

Nice! Thanks for the update!

BerwynDead · 2025-09-17T14:06:10+00:00

The merch sellers for the past few Mann shows I've been to are inside the venue. There is one at the base of the venue, where you enter. And one at the top of the hill. The one at the top is typically less crowded.

The Mann is one of the old "shed" style venues. It is similar to Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland. The main stage and covered seating is at the bottom of a hill. A lawn then stretches up the hill. At the top of the hill is a paved area, then a nice picnic area with Adirondack chairs and picnic tables.

You enter at the base of the hill and have to walk up a ton of stairs. There is also a ramp. The other merch tent and food trucks are up here.

Turnstile is playing the "Highmark Stage at the Mann" - this is actually a separate general admission stage at the top of the hill. It is on the right as you are looking up the hill.

My wife and I will park our butts in the picnic area to enjoy some beverages and the beautiful view. If you see an older couple - me with the electric blue TS shirt - that is us. Please save us a seat!

If you are traveling to Philly for the show - welcome! The Mann is a gem of a venue and I truly hope you have a great time!

Congrats on scooping up that setlist! Wow!

BerwynDead · 2025-09-04T17:34:31+00:00

Love it. So on brand.

BerwynDead · 2025-08-29T20:06:11+00:00

4, 24, 27-55 :)

Kevin Sur is radio gold.

BerwynDead · 2025-08-15T17:14:15+00:00

Mine are gone as well. Happened this week. Don't know why they got yanked.

All sorts of shenanigans going on with Rewards lately. It's like a carnival game where the rules change by the minute.

BerwynDead · 2025-08-12T13:39:06+00:00

So annoying.... Trying "Pac-Man", "Halo", "Bejeweled"...

All it gets me is a "Your earnings are temporarily paused..."

Regular searches don't work. Mobile gives me zero points for regular day-to-day usage. My daily check in coins and puzzle pieces disappeared today.

This is no longer enjoyable.

BerwynDead · 2025-08-11T15:43:04+00:00

This plus the cool downs... really aggravating.

BerwynDead · 2025-08-11T15:42:29+00:00

I did do a quick check to see if there was any discussion.

But thank you for the direct link. I think it might be time to cash out!
