Yaya Whoo That was one of the best weekend Philly had so far.. We really enjoyed ourselves, from the open reception......thanks to Chris and his staff for putting together a professional but relaxing events. I loved the midnight madness movie. Sorry i only made it thru one movie. The next day was the book reading ...and then the Walk Like A Man - the play was awesome. That night was the par-tay..it was da bomb weekend...I want to thanks the organization again because I hosted out of towners and str8 to the events and they had a ball...one luv
