Well, first, in Philly's defense i've had absolutely marvelous food 
in restaurants there, so my comment on the Chinese food as mediocre - 
well, it *was* Christmas Day, i KNOW there are better ones... And the 
bad East Coast pizza (those unbelievably flat flat falt slices like i 
used to buy when i lived in Manhattan), again, it was Christmas 
Eve... so in both cases we had to take what we could find, since we 
obviously hadn't planned ahead.

As for the movie theater, i don't recall the name, but my daughter 
said that it often had badly behaved viewers. It was some multiplex, 
there was a paintball or laser game place next door... It might have 
been the Riverview 17... The badly behaved morons in front of us, two 
couples of "slacker" student-types, broke into a rather interesting 
bout of body percussion and dancing in the lobby after the film was 
over - they were pretty good. Too bad they weren't nearly so clever 
during the film.

>next time you are in philly call me

Thanks for the offer... i'll do that :-)
