Earlier today we talked to Heather Feather, one of the organizer's behind tonight's Phil Collins Day Parade (by the way: Happy Phil Collins Day, everyone!). She gave us a little background on the holiday, saying it began back at her high school in Washington as a reaction to Valentine's Day, as she "watched with disgust and awkward sadness as the halls of our high school filled with red balloons and thorny roses." Today marks the 5th ever Phil Collins Day, and Feather thinks it will be the biggest yet. And we've got total coverage people, our photographer will even be on hand at tonight's parade, so we suggest you clock out early and get started on your Phil float!
Tonight, Feather had just expected a few friends at the parade, but now says "it's spread to all corners of the world wide web. And as exciting as that seems, it also makes me a little nervous. I hope, that for all who come tonight, that they come to enjoy everything that Phil represents, and to have a great time. To eat pizza, to drink Phil Collins drinks, to make Phil masks, and to enjoy this homemade parade."
For total preparation, head to Moves (214 Franklin Street), where they'll be offering a Phil Collins mask making session, and be sure to enjoy a Phil Collins themed pizza (In the Pear Tonight) at Paulie Gee's! For the aforementioned Phil Collins drink, head to the parade afterparty at Shayz Lounge (130 Franklin Street). Let's make this the best Phil Collins Day ever—get thee to Franklin Street by 7:30 to take part in the parade, here's a little motivation:
