Philly's tech community may not be taking up arms, but the revolution is still happening. Now where did I put my beret and arm band...

We don't mean to brag but...Can anyone find our own horn? We're trying to toot it.

NYE is fast approaching and let's face it, if it's this late and you don't have plans, you are staring down a bleak avenue of options - but have hope! National Mechanics is celebrating New Years Eve spinning the music we're known for spinning at the kind of party we're known for throwing. Here is the breakdown: 60 gets you in, fed, and drunk from 8-12. 75 gets you the same deal plus table service and a free bottle of bubbly to cap off 2009. Sound good? OK. See you here, to see the year out.

NSFW...sort of.

Philly's own adult film superstar Stoya waxes for 30 seconds about where she recommends coming in the city...Ok, forget the innuendo, I think I'll take Philebrity's cue and just call 'em as they see 'em.

National Mechanics; The only place in town where bloggers can hang in close proximity to porn stars without having to stock up on ones, fives and twenties first.

A toast to the future and a nod to a tumultuous recent past is DEFINITELY in order. All day happy hour, our president elect on the projection screen and a hopefully dejected looking Bush kicking a can down Pennsylvania Ave.

3 Cheers!

Friday: 10 PM - DJ Isaac follows YOU on twitter.

Saturday: We'll be having a strange but hilariously titled Mustaches for Kids party. Special mustache drinks for all donations of $5 at the door, but there is no cover. Mustaches are encouraged, but not required.
At 10pm DJ Jack Tripper and the Get Down will wax on wax spinning pure analog for the audio enthusiasts.

Sunday: Brunch! starts at 11am and the Birds v. G-men starts at 1 on the projector screen. It's going to be a Sunday to remember.

We at National Mechanics, being as historically minded as we are, understand the importance of Thanksgiving and will be open for regular hours on Thursday to do this great day justice. Food, drink, friends and greyhounds with light-bulb nipples. Come get your fix.

Adding to our ever growing list of awards that vaguely encompass the bar's milieu, National Mechanics was voted the Best Neighborhood Bar in Philly! Big up to everyone who voted, whether you actually live in the neighborhood or not. As of now, we are the trendiest bar in a neighborhood that totally loves us for our awesome Mexican food (without being a Mexican joint) and we've also got some killer bathrooms. So if you're in the neighborhood, come in and get drunk with us because, like...what else are you supposed to do? It says Best Neighborhood Bar.

We love when people come and eat and drink with us and we love it even more when they enjoy themselves. But if you've got a blog, enjoy our company and food and beer AND you want to write about us, we'll bro-hug like awkward friends. Cereally.

She can't win based on the amount of votes allowed, her campaign is hemorrhaging funds and yet still she doesn't just stop. I'm seriously expecting her to, after Obama gets the nomination, come out of a closet (literally, not figuratively) all bloodied and limping for one last chance to get him, but Michelle Obama's going to see her first and shoot her over Barack's shoulder. Then the campaign will be over...Believe it or not, Quizzo content following.

May Day can either be a celebration of International Workers’ Day or it can be a cross-quarter day in which we celebrate the beginning of summer. I personally like the idea of a Bacchanalian romp in the woods complete with animal sacrifice, orgies, wine and shanks of meat, so on this May Day, I say we forget about our jobs, retire to Fairmount Park and throw a good old fashioned orgy. Who’s with me!?!

It's been a good couple of weeks for Philadelphia. The Flyers are doing great, the Phil's are on a roll, the Kimmel is out of debt, we're keeping The Gross Clinic in Philly, hell, we even voted OUT a guy under federal investigation. Now if I could just get a fucking win in Quizzo...

While you were getting busy in your "Marriage Bed" at the compound or being bitter and shooting guns, we were having a blast with Quizzo. I mean, sure the pope gets to wear an awesome cap and gets carted around in a fancy bullet proof thing, but is seeing an ex-Nazi in a mu mu chit-chat at a stadium worth getting worked up over? My hungover blahg after the jump...
