“Without Dan’s voice, Philly Mag wouldn’t be Philly Mag. And, I’d argue, Philadelphia wouldn’t quite be Philadelphia.”

Dan’s editor here, Brian Howard, on what our friend meant to this magazine and, more importantly, this city.

Alright I made the thread. Let me know what to add. I’m devastated but my God I’ve laughed pretty hard at some of these
We REALLY need a “stuff Dan texted his friends about” compilation
I've still got texts from when Dan was feeling out writing a bit about people with giant fucking heads. I brought two hats with me when we sat down to talk at Misconduct. It never turned into anything, but I've got the hilarious memory of him trying to wear one of my hats.

That's pretty cool.

RIP to Dan. His "A decade of Philly sports fans on the TV news" video from the other site is pure gold.

I know I’m a homer but this was the most quintessentially McQuade story. Perfect idea, perfect execution. Dan was the only person on Earth who could’ve written this.
