Our old friend Phil has been following our running tally of velvet suit sightings with particular interest, it seems. He writes: "What if I were to tell you that I own a velvet sportcoat -- and that I actually wear it on occasion (most recently: Las Vegas, a Tyler Perry screening party, etc)? Would that sort of count as a 'sighting,' or something more pathetic?" If by "pathetic," you mean "awesome," then sure, Phil, sure! And here's a Phil extra: He provides a "link" to Harold Bloom talking about "blog" hero Sonny Rollins. I've said it before and I'll say it again: you can always count on Phil! (Pictured, Tyler Perry.)
