It’s like a swamp valley outside. Like, how many mosquitoes are in your backyard, because this is wild. On the other hand, my feed is an incessant flood of football and fall mania. Apple cider doughnuts, swag, pumpkin parties, and scary movies. I’m here for it.

You know what else I’m here for? Local artist support! With game mania on the horizon, you’re gonna need some fresh gear. And who better to be at the forefront of crushing it with the slogans and the merch but Philly’s own Pink Bike Ralph!? How about a full swag bundle; we got you. Time for that Philly glow up.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Ok, okaaaay. We have Dinosaur Jr. with Starcrawler on deck. Now this is gonna be a show. Pedals, fuzz, noise, and major stage theatrics. I’ll be there to see the pedal power and submerge myself into the mayhem of rock. Get tix!

• Toosii is bringing The Five Nights of Platinum Tour to the TLA this November. Straight from the football field to R&B, there’ll be a full-on dose of melodic hip hop bangers with all the feels. One night only, so don’t miss it!
