Welcome to the Philly Spectacle! This blog is the gathering place for all of the Philadelphia area arts and entertainment stories written by Devin Marshall, a Philly transplant from Northern California. If you like reading about games, music (especially rock and electronica), art, conventions, DIY/independent projects and people who spend a great deal of time and energy creating things that they’re passionate about, then you’ve come to the right place. If you have a lead or topic that you think should be covered, please let me know in the comments or send your idea to devinthemarshall@gmail.com.

The stories posted here are the long-form versions (they usually get cut down for print). All photos posted are taken by Devin Marshall, unless otherwise credited. If an article was originally published elsewhere, expect a link at the top of the story to the first posting.
