FEATURED ARTICLE

Fiasco! 3: A primal party The art of partying

By Kelly-Anne Suarez | Of The Morning Call
September 18, 2008

Last summer, Matt Deifer was sharing a basket of hot wings with friends when someone made a comment that changed his life.

''Allentown is boring,'' the friend said.

Deifer -- a Coplay native who now lives in Philadelphia -- objected. He believes life is what you make of it, a philosophy that makes him look on the bright side of things, whether you're talking relationships or careers or geography.

That night, Deifer looked at his friends and declared, ''I don't live in Allentown anymore. I live in Funtown.'' And just to prove that he was serious, he chalked the name onto the sidewalk.
