Just a little montage, a bit rough on the editing. I love this place--it's right outside my apartment. The cat's name is Lester.

It's actually a cover by Devendra Banhart. Sorry, should've mentioned that in the tags.

What part of Philly do you live in?

The bookstore on fairmount next to the prison is also excellent. As is the Book Trader on 2nd just north of Market...it used to be that huge one on South Street. I was in there today and they have cleaned the place up a lot.
