Fall in Philadelphia,

Amethyst
is a lifelong Philadelphian who just happens to be the former campaign manager for his honor, Michael Nutter.
When she's not putting the spin on politics you'll find Am cozied up in her favorite armchair and all wrapped around the latest biography of Benjamin Franklin or tuning up her speed skates and banging elbows
with Apolo Anton Ono down at the Wissahickon Skating Rink.

Jason & Rinn
You may remember them as your host and hostess for the Mütter Museum & Tour of the Eastern State Penitentiary at the last
Philly Event in 2005. Shhhhhhh... Rinn is the head librarian at the Richmond Branch in Philadelphia and Jason really is a Rocket Scientist. Together they train Persian Cats & Border Collies for the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Eileen
has just released her fourth book of 16th century slam poetry. When she's not home studying for a cholesterol test you'll find this classy lady out on the town with the "who's who" of the Philly social scene. Some of Eileen's interests include: designing polyester Mummers Day costumes, collecting organic cheesesteak recipes, or just volunteering her free time as part
of her work-release program.

Kath & Gary
No one really knows what these two people look like. They show up for a few events, then disappear only to resurface months later. They met at the Betty Ford Clinic during open enrollment week. Kath says that shes a Democratic Dominatrix. Gary is the former public relations manager for Elliot Spitzer and James McGreevey. Together they head up the Department of Redundancy Department for the Philadelphia Friends Group.

Sharon
is a Pad Thai chef at the Four Seasons Hotel in center city. When she's not busy volunteering as a jazzercize instructor for the hard-of -hearing at the Lutheran retirement home, you'll find her in Atlantic City putting it all on red. Sharon is best known for having Lisa Loeb glasses before Lisa Loeb. Catch Sharon on FOX-TV in her new reality show "My Search for a Straight Boyfriend".

Karen
is the mild-mannered diplomat among our group. Someone once described her temperment as a cross between Mother Theresa and the Reverend Al Sharpton.
You can usually find Karen, at home, defoliating her victory garden, playing in wild Scrabble tournaments where they don't use consonants or just relaxing at
home as she rewires her collection of Antique Taser Guns.

Shawn
is a bazillionaire. He practically owns Conshohocken. Some people say that Shawns Great-Great-Grandfather invented the machine that puts the cream in a Boston Cream donut. Everytime you buy one, he gets a royalty. You eat the donut and get fat while he gets rich. Is that fair?
Shawn has someone who laughs for him, when he goes to the bank. When he's not counting his Krugerrands, he's walking the runway for Giorgio Armani's new Fall designer line.

Jeff
just happened to be in the right place at the right time. When Keith Richards fell out of a tree in Fiji in May 2006, Jeff was there for his old pal, Mick Jagger, and agreed to play the rest of their summer tour for Keith. "An Even Bigger Bang" tour racked up the largest numbers ever for the Stones. Yo Adrienne... when he's not strumming with the Stones, Jeff hosts the NPR radio show, "Stallone.Reflections... from Rocky to Rambo to ''Roids".

Les
Les comes from along line of maple syrup barons. In fact, his family once owned all of New England, but lost it in 1723 to the Adams clan in the final round of the first Texas Hold'em tournament in recorded history. Nowadays, Les tends the artichoke plot at the family mansion. Unfortunately, it no longer is owned by any of his relatives and is now the State Home for The Sexually Addicted. Otherwise, Les can be found at a nearby farm volunteering his time as a chick sexer.
