Anyone else rip through a bag of pretzels and binge Tales of the Crypt last night? Just me? Regardless, I hope you’re already fully into your LDW vibes. Don’t let me hold you back!

But enough about me and my midnight pretzels. Know what would mesh well with a snack? A gift card to any fine pub or establishment in Philly. How about a little Fishtown Tavern action? I heard they got a bangin’ meatball sandwich…and just so you can try it, this one’s on us.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Philly’s own honky tonk hurricane, Roberta Faceplant, is bringing the cowpunk chaos. A little bit outlaw with a raucous rhythm, looks like we’ll be two-stepping to the ranch on a Friday night! Mark your calendars!

• Free never sounded so good. Especially when it’s paired with Purling Hiss, Emily Robb, and other local legends. Lock it in, friends. A grandiose night to welcome the season on September 24th at Spruce Harbor. Let’s dance.

• Have you even heard of a loop pedal before? Just sayin’, Ed Sheeran curated an entire tour around the concept. And well, if you’re not familiar, here’s your chance to learn. Just a couple weeks away, get in on the loop action; we’ve got your tix.*

• Youse like horror? And haunts? Then you might just wanna be a part of the Lil Helleion Horror Movie Club. Secret shows. VIP events. All things haunted and hella Halloween. It’s a 6-week run of fun, but you need to RSVP to get the scoop.*
