Happy Friday and cheers to the weekend. There has been quite a lot happening in Philadelphia. Now that the weekend is here all you will hear is Super Bowl. The city is gearing up for a great time. There are going to be activiations, deals, treats, and more. So start your weekend by wearing the only color that matters and that’s Eagles green. Here are a few things that you can place on your radar.
Friends the Experience
If you loved the show, Friends you will love The Friends Experience in King of Prussia Mall. Here are a few things to know before you go:
- Park in the Blue parking lot or as close as you can get to the Cheesecake Factory inside of the mall
- It is next to the Ethan Allen store inside of the mall
- There are dedicated staff to help you take your pictures at every room so you do not need a tripod to include everyone in your party. If you go as a solo experience you will have someone to take your shots too
- You need a ticket to get into the Experience but not to shop the store
- It will take you a little less than an hour to go through for timing purposes
The tickets are $39.50 during peak times and $32 at other times per adult ages 11 and up. There is a Valentine’s Day special happening now until February 14th that you can save 50% on a second ticket if you use code, LOBSTER. Experience each room taken from the set. Learn facts about the show you may not have known as well. There are professional picture taking that happens from the set. Picture packages are available as a bundle so you get Hi-Res photos from your time. You are more than welcome to use your own camera as well. Make sure that you shop the store as there are some items that are only available at the shop and nowhere else.
Hard Rock Philly 25th Anniversary
My husband and I attended the Hard Rock Philly 25th Anniversary featuring Boyz II Men. It was so much fun. The VIP experience was amazing. From the buffet to the open bar, we had a time. One of the things that I enjoyed the most outside of Boyz II Men was seeing so many of my media friends in one place. Cashman and Associates did a phenomenal job of making sure that no detail was lost in translation.
It was my first time at Hard Rock Cafe even after being here for 12 years. This location has plenty of seating in several rooms. In addition even outside of the signature drinks made, the bartenders did a great job making every curated cocktail great. The food that I had was delicious. The vibes were unmatched. I will be going back to try it outside of the party and report back. Thanks to Cashman and Associates and Hard Rock for having me. Boyz II Men are absolutely talented. The show they gave was wonderful.
Somebody I Used to Know Movie Premiere-Friday Release
A new romantic comedy is out today. Directed by Dave Franco, and stars Alison Brie and Jay Ellis as an ex couple who explore their once lived relationship but plot twist, Sean played by Ellis is engaged to be married to Cassidy played by Kiersey Clemons. Will they realize that they were always meant to be? You will have to watch on Amazon Prime Video today and find out. It is a great movie. I will be watching it again this weekend.
We attended a special showing of the movie last night and Dave Franco and Alison Brie were in attendance. Thank you to TKPR for having me. We enjoyed wine by Everyday Weekend and dessert by Dimi.
Conversations with Toi Friday Podcast Drop
It’s Friday and a new episode is out now. College should be available to all that desire it. Whether you want to go to a HBCU or not the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) is providing assistance when it can to support the dream of many young people who wouldn’t have had the opportunity otherwise.
The UNCF has been around since 1944 as a way to support private historically black college and universities.

So that is all for now. I will be attending some media events all weekend except Sunday. Sunday is time with a friend and the Super Bowl. Make this weekend amazing. Follow along the blog all weekend as all new blogs will be out. Be safe if you are in Arizona or here in Philly. The Philadelphia Police department is expected to have every cop working all weekend long. There will be DUI checkpoints. Do not get pulled over and found driving under the influence. Be responsible as you have fun. Have a great Friday and weekend.
