Anyone want to buy/swap Illuminations tix?

My neighbors are in a bind. They have 2 tickets for the 7 p.m. Illuminations tour, but can't make that time.

They're looking to either sell the tickets at face value [$10 each] or preferably swap tickets for an earlier time. The latest they can go is 5:30.

If interested, give them a call @ 781-395-2057. Ask for Amy or Bill.

Anyone need a roommate for Feb 1st or so? :)

Just testing the waters to see what's out there-looks like my roommate and I might be leaving our Somerville apartment very soon due to "landlord issues", and haven't yet decided whether to look together for another apartment, or separately for room share ads (the latter is always cheaper, and we have different preferences about our favorite areas)-anyway, if you're looking for a new roommate, or know someone who is, and the room is fairly cheap ($550 or less for rent itself) and not real small, please email me...I'm looking for either suburban or Somerville area, nothing in Boston or Cambridge proper-not a huge city girl, and I need easy parking for my not-too-compact car. :)

64 Squares in the Square

[bds.livejournal.com]

Greetings all,

I'd like to announce the entrance of an esteemed chess club into our beloved Davis Square! The Boylston Chess Club has taken up residence across from The Burren. My understanding is that this is the oldest chess club in the United States, with the recent attrition and passing of the Marshall Chess Club in NYC.

Beginners are welcome, and will find learning opportunities and fair competition. World class masters attend, compete, and teach. Dues are $125 but I've been to numerous events without joining (non-members pay a couple dollars more for tournaments). Tuesday nights are speed chess for $5; members pay $3. Longer tournaments are run throughout the week.

If you have any thoughts not addressed on the web pages above, want candid opinions from someone who's not affiliated with the BCC, or just have general chess questions, feel free to write me: bs@vt.edu.

Hope to meet you across the board!
Brian
