QuickTime | Flash This was a real quick play with my brother Andrew as we took a walk to a local pub for some spirits and conversation. I live in the University City section of West Philadelphia which is a melting pot of Ivy League academics, anarchists, hippies and a growing community of Africans (Ghana, Ethiopia, Eritrea and many more). This is a video of my walk to the bar. A bit short but we were just winging it, therefore only a snapshot of the community. Jimmy CraicHead

QuickTime | Flash This footage is a little bit of goofing off before my brother Andrew Coffey and I went off to the first Podcast Media Expo in 2005 where he was hosting Podcast Awards. I had always wanted to visit Hollywood Forever an incredible cemetary featuring the likes of many Hollywood legends. I also wanted to pay tribute to Johnny Ramone and Dee Dee Ramone both of whom I d met and hung out with in 1983 when they passed thru Philly. I sold many of my baseball cards to Johnny, including a Steve Carlton rookie card (good condition). The experience of hanging with Johnny and Dee Dee was well worth the sacrifice. Joey seemed off limits, not as chatty as Johnny or Dee Dee. Ritchie was drumming at this time. Enjoy Videobloggingweek2008! Gabba Gabba Hey! Jimmy CraicHead Technorati Tags: videobloggingweek2008

QuickTime | Flash share by: vPIP Embed (copy s call this the prequel to Dover to Belgium ferry ride. My travel pal Cynthia is one crazy girl. Met her at a Philly block party around 1982, and I was impressed that she was the only black girl (African American term not yet invented by PC people) wearing a Clash shirt. We loved many of the same punk new wave bands and to this day, our favorite band of all time is XTC. Cynthia moved to California in 1987 and we still email. Cynthia, this is for you! Jimmy CraicHead

QuickTime | Flash share by: vPIP Embed (copy m throwing it up to the internet Gods in honor of the upcoming cat fight between Hillary Clinton and Barry Obama . The event is being held at Constitution Center and if they mention a Joe Torsella on stage, great guy by the way, I dated his sister 10 years ago. So that would be 2 degrees of separation to some well known folk! Thanks for stopping by the site and look some video posts for VideobloggingWeek2008

QuickTime | Flash share by: vPIP Embed (copy s best weather in 2007 and Killarney was our third stop after Dublin and Galway. We took a jaunting car ride through Killarney National Park, and the fine driver, whose name escapes us told of John McShane a builder who left for America and built the Pentagon with Philadelphia legend John Kelly Sr.. John Kelly Sr. was father to Grace Kelly and made his fortune in the brick business. According to our jaunty car driver, John McShane moved back to Killarney Ireland where he passed away in 1997 at the age of 92. He left his mansion and land to Killarney which now a folk museum and National Park. Happy St. Patrick s Day Jimmy CraicHead

QuickTime | Flash share by: vPIP Embed (copy ve been going every Mummers Parade since 1980 so I ve seen a lot of ups and downs with weather, postponements, and cancelations and this year was no different. My sole reason to go the Mummers Parade is to see the String Bands. Every year we have to put up with the nonsence of what are called the Fancies , and I ve been complaining every year to everyone around me to flush the Fancies and to bring on the String Bands. This year, the couple behind me even brought books to read during the Fancies; now what does that tell you. Lo and be hold, an article comes out the The Daily News from Stu Bykofsky basically suggesting how to improve the parade. My friends and I view from the stands at City Hall, and from my perspective, much of the delay is from every single comic and Fancy act getting tv time, and then a cut to a tv advertisement. And of course, there is always a rumor that Froggy Carr had a sit down somewhere on Broad Street. A 3 hour delay for weather now becomes 4 hours and the String Bands are playing close to 10pm. So yes, it s is time to dump the Fancies. And as for the Fancy Brigades? They died 11 years ago.

QuickTime | Flash Demanda was sick for this video so I took Judy, my brindle mutt down to Running of the Santas an event held in several cities around the USA. It is a benefit for Alex s Lemonade Stand, a foundation for child cancer. The Philly run is about 2 blocks from Finnigan s Wake to McFadden s and there were over a 1000 santas, rabbis, elves and even a dradle. And if anyone knows the scumbag that throws his left shoulder into me which is clearly visable (he has a beer in his right hand) mention to him this is not cool and is very white trash! Thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy Hanakau. Jimmy CraicHead

QuickTime | Flash Demanda and I showed at up Downrigging Weekend in 2006, only to find all the tickets for sailing had been sold weeks before. This year we booked early and were greeted with strong cold north winds, the remmnats Hurricane Noah. There are over a dozen tall ships that sail this event, held the first weekend in November. We sailed Virginia Schooner a 116 foot Schooner that would have made Errol Flynn proud. Errol owned an incredible sailboat about this size named the Zaca, which he sailed and lived till the very end. So Errol, this video tribute is to you! Boat Drinks, Jimmy CraicHead!

QuickTime | Flash A perfect day to head down to an Eagles tailgate party. A beautiful indian summer day in October for a 4pm meeting with the Chicago Bears. Many thanks to Chuck and Eric over at Eagles FanCast, a weekly podcast devoted to the Eagles fans and diehards for their time and tailgate hospitality and to Nick at Nicks Nest. As Philly fans already know, it was a slow 2 minute death at the end, so hopefully this video will help you rewind to happier time. Peace Out Jimmy

Yo Paulie, a big Rocky shout out to my good pal Paul Hewson aka Bono from U2 So you re back in Philly for your second big speech in Philadelphia tonight and you don t give me a call or a Twitter ping. You come into town, West Philly, my hood to give the commencement speech at the University of Penn in 2004 and no call. Don t you remember hanging out at with me after your show at the Bijou Cafe in spring 1981, good Craic I might add. I was 21 you were like 20. Well welcome back to the city of Brotherly Love and take a peek at the video of my time in Dublin and Galway. Honestly mate, the things you do outside of rock make me proud to be of Irish ancestry! Thank You for all your work what a video blogger can never really describe! Jimmy CraicHead September 27, 2007!

QuickTime | Flash The timing couldn t be any better than to have Captain Tony join me for the weekend to celabrate Talk Like A Pirate Day on September 19th. A cold front roared through the Chesapeake chilling the Bay with NW winds 20-25 plus with gusts up to 30. Captain Tony is a weathered old fart sailor, having done 2 trips down the ditch to Florida Keys. With 2 reefs in the main we set sail to Annapolis Maryland, sailing capitol of the US, home to our nations Naval Academy. The bay was empty but a few die hards and a surprise visit from Boat Pix , a photo helicopter units that shoots aerial shots of boats and regattas around the country. As far as shooting the video for this day, I must say that it was the most reckless conditions I ve ever encountered but did avoid falling in the drink . Enjoy and remember that tomorrow is promised to no one.

With bellies full of Red Bull, brave men and women attempt to defy gravity over Lady Bird Lake in Austin, TX. All it took was their own homemade flying machines, a 30-foot flight deck, courage, and signing a wavier.For a larger version, please visit www.texasgeek.tv

QuickTime | Flash Gotta love this craic moment in time! We re heading to my sailboat on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and meet this Minister at the gas station with a souped up Jesus Ford hotrod. Only met for a moment so let the video roll. Anybody know anything about the Hedges Highway Ministry? Peace Out and Remember Tomorrow is Promised to no one, Love Jimmy! Sorry to any of my subscribers if this downloads a second time. I had to repost it.

Do I really need to tell you what I think about the Michael Vick situation? My pit bull mix Judy , pictured above on my sailboat was abandoned on the streets of Camden New Jersey with a broken leg and left for dead at 4 months. She is now a healthy loving 4 year old. Michael Vick, may your NFL career end today! You stupidity was on full display last winter with this Saturday Night Live skit. Beware of PETA blind siding your left worse than anything Michael Strahan could dream.

QuickTime | Flash It is a bit scary to watch video from 20 years ago and have forgotten most of it except for actually having done it. Flash Craicback to 1986 when I went to visit my cousin in Mons Belgium. The trip started off in London for a weekend, accompanied by my good friend Cynthia. Big memory was going to see the Dallas Cowboys play Chicago Bears at the old Wembley Stadium. Then it was off to Belgium via a ferry on the English Channel from Dover to Ostend Belgium. Sad to report, this ferry ride only serves freight now. It was a beautiful August day and I was lugging around old school 2 piece video equipment. I wasted a lot of battery power from train rides, then overcharged the battery the first week. No footage of the next 3 weeks in Amsterdam, Brussels, Gent, or Frankfurt. London 1986 to be continued.

It only happens on a Friday the 13th at the Grey Lodge, a Philadelphia microbeer pub featured as one of Esquire Mags Best American Bars. Every Friday the 13th, many of the best local breweries make a cast Firken beer for consumption. It s an all day event as they empty 2 dozen Firkins, about 10 gallons in each one. Thanks to Victory Beer, Troegs Beer, Flying Fish Beer, Triumph Beer and all the others drank! Enjoy! Live life to the fullest and remember, tomorrow is promised to no one!

This was a little bit more than I bargained for as Demanda and I strolled into historic Chesapeake City for Canal Day with camera equipment, dog and parrot in tow. The bird was mobbed by dozens of families with children, and the dog wanted to sniff every 10 feet. Apologies for the over exposed shots. Later that day we went to my boat In Like Flynn which is now moored on Swan Creek off the Chesapeake for a few days of sailing. For an R rated tour of Canal day head over to Canal Day Blog. Enjoy!
