Live 8 public service announcement!
Published by Becky S June 30th, 2005 in arts, philadelphia
Attention Live 8 goers! Did you know that there will be a limited number of Jiffy Johns available during Saturday’s concert? Also, no drinking on the Parkway.
Never fear—I live within walking distance of the stage (see map) and will be offering the following services throughout the day:
- Use of bathroom (guaranteed supply of toilet paper): $20
- One beer (Yuengling bottle): $7.50
- One beer (Sam Adam’s cherry wheat): free
- Water (one glass): $5.00
- Water with ice: $6.00
- Hi-speed internet access: $1.00/minute
If you’re from New Jersey, add 20% to the prices above. If you’re a Philly weblogger, all services are gratis.
One final Live 8 note: for the love of God, people, do not chant E-A-G-L-E-S on national television. That is so embarrassing.

That’s so entrepreneurial of you.
That reminds me…non-Philly bloggers who comment here are also entitled to free services.
Did you just tell the whole internet where you live?
I’m just asking.
This is an important announcement! … So important, that I posted it to our Live 8 RSS feed we run at http://live8.rssvp.com
Wow, I hope the combination of the map and being added to the Live 8 feed doesn’t cause the Internet to show up at my house. That would seriously jeopardize my toilet paper guarantee.
Seriously, though, the map only shows my approximate whereabouts. By the time anybody figures out how to stalk me, I’ll be living in Fishtown.
I’d be happy to take that Cherry Wheat beer off your hands. I’ll be offering competitive prices for services.
Yoko, I wish I would’ve known you like the Cherry Wheat before the weather turned bloody hot. The beer has been sitting in my third-floor kitchen, where the temperature reaches a gazillion degrees.
Is that bad for beer? You’re more than welcome to find out for yourself, because I’m gonna dump the stuff before I move.
Others may have competitive prices, but only I have the toilet paper guarantee!
Yes, heat (and light) is bad for beer. In general, it will be fine so long as you keep it under 75 degrees. I think a gazillion is over that.
BTW, I am going to wait to do the Eagles cheer until I am in your place. Then I am going to steal all your TP and make a killing at the Jiffy Johns.
ok so let me get this straight. only ONE beer, right?
i’ll still be there.
So.. how much did you make? Did anyone wreck your bathroom?
I looked for your place, couldn’t find it. Next time, please be more specific in your directions. I really could have used that guaranteed toilet paper. Thanks!
Sorry I missed you, The Internet. Maybe next time. Glenn, my entire apartment is wrecked, but that’s due to moving preparations, not Live 8 traffic. I made no money whatsoever.
