Philadelphia Film Festival Spring Preview
Philadelphia Film Festival Spring Preview, presented by Pennsylvania Hospital (click HERE for film schedule) opened last evening at the Prince Theater featuring complimentary candy and Tastykakes, so for the second night in a row, my dinner consisted of alcohol and cake! I’m a firm believer in aligning with the Universe, which in simple terms means when you really want something or to do something, focus, think about the benefit and the joy of it and believe it’s possible without contradiction. Not as easy as it sounds, and timing is not always up to you, but I have seen it work numerous times in my life and it makes me wonder…

Commentary – Computer Love
As is often the case, Tinsel & Tine goes through posting feast or famine. This weekend begins the Philadelphia Film Society Spring Preview Film Festival, sponsored by Pennsylvania Hospital, and by coincidence a new acquaintance, Harwood Duncan, (pictured) (see Cafe Centennial post) had his film premiere for a film called Computer Love Thursday night, so my weekend of screening got off to an early start! You can’t so much as own a hot dog stand without having a facebook page anymore; the reason being, it is an amazing marketing/promotional tool. The film’s producers told me it was how they got the word out and IHouse (350+ seats) was packed! Plus,…

Trattoria San Nicola
I always regret not writing a review within two days of either seeing a movie or dining at a restaurant. Not only is the very nature of blogging timeliness, but once the moment has passed, taste buds fade, judgment is faulty, scenes blend into one over all hue without distinctions or nuances. Such could be the case with reviewing Trattoria San Nicola (4 Manor Road, Paoli PA) seeing as my dining experience took place on February 28th, but alas I need not rely on my own recollection. I was dining with 3 out of normally 4 fabulous ladies- better known as the Juicettes! I met these fine, Philly females at…
