Good morning. Last night I was at Rum on the River. It was a most excellent event produced by many including the coordinator PUNCH MEDIA PR as Adam Kanter of Rum Bar is James Zeleniak's client. Above: Doug Keith, Sarah Stockton-Brown and James Zeleniak (Today is Sarah's last day before she goes to work at Phila Museum of Art in their customer service communications. Good Luck)
If you're having an over the top birthday or celebration or your an event planner, florist or you rent tables, shoot me an email maybe I will come out and cover it for PhillyChitChat or my column in PhillyMag.com; My girls never forget to include me in on their fun and I appreciate it.
Did you know you can have a custom made Ice Sculpture at your place, you can. I think that's such a neat idea. This one costs about $150 and it's custom with both Lesley & Monique for their birthday party last Friday.I have my ice sculpture picked out when I have my party, hope they deliver. They also do full bars. Seriously funny website as they were able to get their entire description inhttp://www.icebarslugesandlogos.com/ Nick & Heather Heo hang. Happy Birthday Heather on Tuesday Lesley Kozloff-Goldstein and her fun mom Judi Kozloff Monique Crawford, Lesley Kozloff-Goldstein, Erin Elmore, and Danielle Krupta enjoy their fun Chuck Taylor themed party. Rob Dailey and Monique practice their best "Christmas Story" Kid licks ice cold pole as they enjoy vodka from the luge. Rob and Monique are now an item, so guys you missed your chance on one of Philly's hot young fun girls. The Thornes of Philadelphia Sabrina and Steve with Joe and Angela Val, and Lesley and Ed GoldsteinDanielle Krupta and a dapper fellow Erin Elmore and her upstairs neighbor. Monique Crawford preparing to play champage pong, cause that's how they roll here at the Waterfront Square Condos.
Danielle and her beau Michael Usowski Wharton Boys: Steve Weiner, Timy Lucey, Ryan Feit and Jake Roffman Kristen Foote and Sabrina Tamburino-Thorne always create fireworks where ever they go...
The slide show had a little problem this morning, hopefully they fixed it now. But Kendra's picture is first, cause she left first around 9PM. No Cole Hamels shots as he and Heidi slipped out a side door.
Ironically last night at the 2010 Mid-Atlantic Emmy® Nominees held at R2L (ceremony is Sept. 25 at the Loews Hotel), there was a roomful of reporters and cameramen, but no one was reporting or filming the special moments (those newsies are so modest)
Fox29's Mike Jerrick is hysterical, as you will see in some of the snippets
And unlike so many nomination announcing ceremony's like the Oscars or the Tony Awards, this one was held in the evening when everyone was awake, happy and cheering for each other as the names were called. I listed a few here, but there is a comprehensive list link at the bottom.

I thought you'd be interested in this photograph (attached). A photographer took this and then discovered this mysetrious light above my head during the Lippincott reading. There was no light fixture on the wall, so the source is mysterious. The first two photos she took did not come out at all, which she says never happens to her, then this picture was "produced."
It was a good night. Over 60 people attended, quite a crowd.
Thanks, Thom Thom's next reading and signing of his book will be at Barnes & Noble
