Naked Girls To Read Lewis Carroll’s Books at Coolidge Corner Theatre
Finally, someone has gone and combined two of my absolute favorite things in the world: reading and nude women. Though it may sound like pure fantasy, it is, in fact, a reality. Like peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and chocolate, or peanut butter and just about any other consumable it can be paired with, […]
Boston Marathon – Great for the Boston Economy
2011 Boston Marathon Update: The weather seems to be cooperating for the 115th Boston Marathon scheduled for this upcoming April 18th. Though spring has been with us for a bit the Patriot’s Day holiday kicks off the spring season particularly since it is the beginning of school vacation. We wanted to update the post from […]
Soledad O’Brien Delivers at CWE Gala in Boston
This past Saturday I was fortunate to attend the 2010 CWE (Center for Women & Enterprise) Annual Fund Raising Dinner which took place in Boston’s Seaport Hotel. The Keynote Speaker this year was Soledad O’Brien, the CNN reporter with a history here in Boston. If you have not attended one of these before you may […]
Revitalizing Boston’s North End
Did you know there is a North End Chamber of Commerce? I was surprised to find that this chamber had been established so recently. It was started back in 2005 with the goal of revitalizing Boston’s North End. They are currently sponsoring an extended version of the 2010 Restaurant Week specific to the North End. […]
Pillow Fight!
I’ve always enjoyed the interesting juxtapositions of Harvard Square. At once home to the nation’s stodgiest, stateliest university and the city’s filthiest, most caterwauling gutter punks, the square is an interesting microcosm of vibrant heterogeneity. That peculiarity was on full display today as hundreds of people swarmed Cambridge Common to take part in International Pillow […]
Far East to Northeast: Anime Boston 2010
Neeeeeeeerrrrrrds! Er, ahem. Sorry for that. Years of public schooling have instilled in me a habit of shouting like that when faced with socially inferior, though intellectually superior, people. Anyway, the nerds to whom I’m referring (and they really aren’t nerds, at least not all of them) are the thousands of anime fans who’ve descended […]
Boston Goes Dark (Temporarily) For Earth Hour
For one hour tonight, the Boston skyline went dark. The sixty minute blackout was not unintentional, though, but rather part of a worldwide event called Earth Hour in which cities across the globe turned off nonessential lighting to raise awareness about climate change. Approximately 4,000 cities participated in this year’s event, flipping the proverbial switch […]
First Night, Night Lights, and Hangovers: New Year’s Eve Revelry, Both Low-key and Loud
For the second year in a row, inclement weather is threatening to prevent Boston’s New Years fireworks display from lighting up the harbor. Though the morning’s heavy snow tapered off by mid-afternoon, more snow is forecast overnight and through tomorrow. The snow is not projected to accumulate beyond a mere dusting, yet the very presence […]
Fenway Park To Host Free Ice Skating
Forget streaking. For two days in January, Fenway fanatics will have a truly legitimate way to fulfill their dreams of being on the field of the Red Sox’ historic stadium when the city opens the ballpark for free ice skating sessions. The skating—to be held January 3 and 10, both Sundays—is made possible by the […]
Bike Film Festival Comes to Boston Nov. 20/21
“New Moon,” the latest installment in the “Twilight” series, hits theaters today and, unless you’re in your early teens or a vampire yourself, constantly in search of acceptance and a sense of belonging in this overwhelming human world, you should do everything in your power to avoid this trite, reheated movie. Not to disparage vampires […]
