Let me start off by saying that I’VE NEVER BLOGGED BEFORE. So… don’t be too hard on me guys!
-----
I’ve only been here for 2.5 weeks, but I’m enjoying every minute of it! The folks at FOX 29 are extremely nice, Philly is a great town to live, and Philadelphians have welcomed me in with open arms. ((At least the ones I’ve met anyway.)) So no complaints! ;)

What else? I did an interesting story about “Mummers” last night. What can I say; I’ve never met a “Mummer” before. Being the new girl in town I was definitely taken aback. They’re a group of really cool people – colorful, loud, and flashy people—but cool people, nonetheless.

FUN FACT:
As a part of yesterday’s story they adopted me, as their new “Mummer girl” and let me wear one of their costumes for my live shot.

Mind you, I was at the Mummers’ clubhouse, in Tacony, PA, because they were having a fundraiser to recoup everything they lost in a warehouse fire, 3 weeks ago. Fire investigators say the 19th century warehouse, which stored all of the props of the Greater Kensington String Band, was set ablaze by arsonists. So yesterday’s mission was about raising enough funds to buy props…so they can continue on…and be ready for the big annual New Year’s parade. What’s a New Year’s parade without the Mummers? Right?

p.s. i may make an appearance at the parade with a costume on! so, you'll just have to stay tuned and show up! 2008 baby!
