READER FEEDBACK
Post a commentDan Gross: The Contest returns - not that there's anything wrong with that
THE CONTEST has returned.
By overwhelming demand, or at least a handful of inquiries, Your Humble Narrator, None More Black frontman Jason Shevchuk and No Quarter Records mogul Mike Quinn once again host "Seinfeld Trivia."
The long awaited reunion, 20 months in the making, takes place Dec. 14 at Helium Comedy Club (2031 Sansom).
A portion of proceeds will benefit the Magee Rehabilitation Hospital. Entry fee is $5 per player with registration starting at 8 and the contest to begin promptly at 9. Must be 21+.
* Congratulations to former Seinfeld Trivia champ Erik Snyder, an investment adviser at Prudential, and Deloitte accountant Jordy Cohen, who were recently married at the Philmont Country Club.
Confidential to Jordy: Boy, you could have done a lot better than this guy.
Out and about
_ "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak had a few chocolate martinis, a chili dog and some other snacks Thursday afternoon at Varga (10th & Spruce). In the spirit of her hit single "Don't Be Tardy for the Party," Kim took off just before 5 to get back to her hotel to get dolled up before an appearance at the Aloft Hotel, in Mt. Laurel, for a party with My106.1 and DJ Richie Rich, whose show she appeared on Thursday morning.
* Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and family dined at Buddakan (325 Chestnut) Saturday night while his longtime Philly limo driver Big Penny hung outside. Also Saturday, a crew of Cowboys including Demarcus Ware and Igor Olshansky dined at Del Frisco's (15th & Chestnut) on porterhouse, snapper, duck and crab claws. A few nights earlier at Del Frisco's, in separate parties, were Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger, Mayor Nutter and Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand.
* Wyclef Jean caught the last game of the World Series from the Four Seasons where the musician stayed last week during a visit to town. Jean, who had a craving for jerk chicken, dined at Caribbean Feast (1338 Rising Sun) after an autograph signing at Villa (1018 Market), which was selling new eco-conscious Timberland boots. Jean also helped renovate West Philadelphia High School with Villa staff, the Sixers and City Year.
* Miley Cyrus and her crew ordered 30 sandwiches, cheesesteaks, chicken cheesesteaks and turkey hoagies from Talk of the Town (3020 S. Broad) to be delivered backstage toward the end of her show the other night at Wachovia Center.
* Singer Ray Lamontagne and a business partner at Davio's (111 S. 17th) sipping barolo, had salmon, caprese salad, pumpkin cheesecake and left a great tip. Phillies outfielder Ben Francisco and a female companion also dined at Davio's. They had angel hair pasta, shrimp and lobster, and shared gelato. Francisco signed a couple autographs, too.
* Comedian Jim Florentine dined at McCormick & Schmick's (1 S. Broad) the other night with a hot blonde. Florentine, who co-hosts "That Metal Show" on VH1 Classic and will soon be seen opposite Jenna Fischer, of "The Office," was in town performing at Helium (2031 Sansom). He's also the former beau of Howard Stern sidekick Robin Quivers.
* Eagles Brent Celek, Trevor Laws and Todd Herremans went for drinks at Rouge, on Rittenhouse Square, Thursday.
* As much as we'd all love to see him in an Eagles uniform, Jon Runyan seems to be enjoying his free time with his family. The big man took his kids bowling at Pinsetter (7111 Maple), in Pennsauken, Friday night.
